CURES that any amendment to it shall

has passed upon the proposed amend

1t has been 'irresularly and ILLEGALLY

the first instance may or may not ho

Tho contention that tho submission
Of this amendment in 1910 was Illegal
because ii would have changed two

The Virginia Constitution gives the
General Assembly plonary power as

THE srNTUs or LAnnn.

During the past i've years there has
been an unprecedented expenditure OF
money and effort by regular bureaus
and special commissions of tho Federal
government in invest eating exist
ing Industrial conditions. An cx-
animation Of the results of this work
reveals the following some what start
ling conclusions relative TO our wage
carners: Cd More than one half of the
male heads of families employed in
mines and factories earn less than 5000
each year, and two flfths of our vast
army of Industrial workers re-
ceive less than $500 per annum;
CD the average yearly income
is only 1921, and three out OF ten
families have an annual income of un-
der $500: CD an independent form of
family life is unusual because the earn
ings of husbands in mines. mills or
factories arc insufficient for the sup
pert OF themselves and their families.
and wives and children must seek work.
or boardcrs or dodgers taken into the
homes; CD under these conditions sat
isfactory living arrangements are i'm
possible. and the household of the aver
age wagc-earner Is characterized by
II high degree Of congestion. and (5)
hours Of work in many industries are
excessive the most extreme example
being found in the blast furnaces or
cur steel plants. where a large num-
Der of men are employed twelve hours
a day each day In the week.
Such in general is the status of our
industrial workers under our protec-
tive tariff policy. No rlorc convincing
proof of failure OF that system to benc-
fit our wage-carncrs can be found. I'll
is true saying that ''by their fruits,
sc shall know them Here we have
as tho result of official ana unbiased In
vcatigation, tho fruits Of a protective
tariff so far ms the wase-carner Is con-
ccrned. If after being brought face TO
face with these facts, tho American
workmon. or those who arc Interested
in the welfare OF our great body of in
dustrial workers. believe that II high
tariff is advantageous. they should be
equally as ready to believe that grapes
may be gathered from thorns. or ngsl
from thsties.

from an inspection of the reports
for 1911 of tho state medical ex-
amining boards in tho United states.
~ is shown that in the last calendar
year $500 physicians applied for
license to practice and were examined.
The percentage of failures was 1919.
In North Carolina. Massa chusetts
Mississippi, Oregon and Tennessee
nonSraduates are eligible to exa,n:ua
aon and the percentage of failure is
hish. In those States $50 undcrgradu-
ate students took the examinations
and of these 127. or 3S.5 per cent. fail
cd OF fourteen applicants from tho
University OF West Tennessee only
ono passed.
Comparison with tho figures for
previous years shows n decrease in tho
number of applicants for physicians
licenses. In 1905 the number of phv
sicians examined by State boards in
the United States was ITO; in 1909 il
was 7.2ST in 1910. 1901: in 1911. $3.50.
The candidates last year were from
III? medical colleges in the United
y,
were from foreign colleges.
The decrease in candidates is due
TO overcrowding the profession II is
also due to the adoption of higher
standards of qualification both for ad-
mission to and graduation from the
medical colleges. The falling off of
would-bc doctors is not cause for
regret, but one for congritulation. 1t
is better TO have nifty efficient doctors
than $50 who are not efficient The
elevation of tho standards of qualifica-
ton in tho medical profession is only
an indication of the general elevation
In all professions, the excellent re-
suit of which will be better service BIZ
those professions. The exclusion of
the incompetent and the inefficient is
as desirable in law a $ it is in medicine.
and the same thing is to be said for
other professions.
