have been brought to vote. The
new one authorizing the income tax
is the first amendment added to the
Constitution since the reconstruction
days following the Civil War.
At several times in the past dispute
has arisen as to whether the votes of
two-thirds of the total membership
or of two-thirds of the members pres
ent in each house of Congress are nee
essary to recommend an amendment
to the States. But precedent allows
the matter to be passed upon by two
thirds of those merely present on the
day OF voting.
Cnn Veto I'm Vain.
Whether or not President Wilson
might approve of the proposed amend
ment limiting his tenure to single
sX-year term 1t will be referred to
the States. After the eleventh amend
ment had been ratified the State of
Virginia disputed its validity upon the
ground that the President had not
signed the referring resolution, but
the Federal Supreme Court ruled
unanimously that the amendment had
been constitutionally adopted, and
Justice Chase in his opinion held that
the President has nothing to do with
the proposition or adoption of amend
ments to the Constitution"
When the resolution referring the
thirteenth amendment was passed,
president Lincoln signed 1t, and the
Senate rebuked him In n resolution.
declaring that such approval was I'm
necessary to give effect to the action
of Congress in proposing such an
amendment" So President johnson
when he signed the fourteenth amend
ment explained in message to Con-
gress that his SO doing was purely
ministerial and in no sense. whatever
committing the executive to an ap-
prevail or recommendation OF the
amendment to the State legislatures
or to the people"
After the new income tax amend
ment had been ratified by both houses
The times dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1903-1914, 1913-03-16

by special conventions called in States
provided that three-fourths of the
States ratify through one OF these
bodies or the other.
To date only one of the methods of
proposing amendments has been re-
sorted to-that of passing the propo-
sitlon through Congress-and like
wise only one method of ratification
has been employed-that of submit
ting the change to State legislatures
rather than State conventions. The
Federal convention method, which
must be demanded by two-thirds Of
the State legislatures. has never been
resorted to because a general revision
OF the Constitution has never yet been
widely desired. Propositions for such
a convention have, however, cropped
up in a few States from time to time
Part Played by Congress.
If the amendment proposed for the
change of the presidential term is ini-
tiated by Congress. as all previous
amendments have been, it will go
through in the form Of joint reso-
luton. although in few instances
propositions to amend have been offered
in the form of bills. Although such
joint resolutions have generally been
referred, in each house. to the Com
mittce on the Judiciary, some have
been referred to standing committees
whose function has been to pass upon
the special subjects to which the
amendments have referred.
The choice of methods given our
Federal and State lawmakers for the
amendment of the Constitution shows
that the trainers of that instrument
anticipated that the amending ma
chinery would be often resorted to.
But II is n fact that the sixteen amend
ments thus far tackled onto the orig
inal Magma Charta have been the
frt &c NJ oil MR. TO-
amendment introduced In Congress.
More than half of these have been
pigeonholed I'm committee and OF the
remainder only small percentage

tons had also shown. that the Consti-

save that the ink upon the boldly
penned opening words, I'VE the Peo-
ple." had been badly scaled off In the
former days when the parchment was
rolled and stored away in steel
cylinder. In recent years. however,
II has been kept fat like the original
Declaration.
The latter instrument has badly
faded all over, the signatures of the
signers having practically disappeared.
This disagreement is the result of the
folly Of Congress, which, lin 1921,
authorized a copperplate engraving
of the document to be made that
copies might be sent to the descen-
dants of each signer. 1t was in the
process of making this plate that the
Declaration was virtually destroyed.
This was before the days of the
camera and OF photolithography. The
ca aver LUZ the WOTk was
allowed to hold sheet OF damp linen
against the face OF the Declaration
while he traced over the letters with
a stylus. Thus the ink-especially
that upon the signatures-was dis
solved.
One Method Never Tried.
The proposed constitutional amend
ment changing the term OF the Presi-
dent to six years can be initiated in
either one of two ways, under the
article by which the Constitution
provides for its own amendment. If
wo-thirds of both houses of Congre SIS
fail to approve It, and submit IT to
the State legislatures, those bodies
can take the matter out OF the hands
of Congress. In the latter case, two
thirds of them must call convention.
And after either of these stages has
been passed the amendment may be
ratified either by State legislatures or

at small expense and in your own

SAFE CONTAINING THE ORIGINAL CONSTITUTIONS.

OF the Arkansas Legislature, Governor
Donaghey vetoed it, and his act
precipitated n constitutional question,
which, however. cannot affect the va
lidity OF tho amendment, because more
than the necessary three fourths of
the States hase ratified. a similar
question arose when the Governor of
New Hampshire vetoed his States
ratification OF the twelfth amendment,
and again when that States ratlfca-
tion was not necessary. So the ques-
ton, as to the effect of a Governor
refusal to sign an act of ratification
has never had to be tested. 1t is gen
orally held by constitutional lawyers
that such veto could not effect the
action of the legislature any more
than. could that OF the President affect
the vote of Congress upon an amend
ment to our Magma Charta,
