nessee's ratification Of the Nineteenth
Amendment has not been affected by
the action Of the temporary anti-suf-

the record Of ratification and passing
a resolution to mon concur" with the
Senate, according to an official opinion
Of Frank M. Thompson, Attorney Cen
eral of the state, delivered here TO-
day.
The anti-suffrage action has "no legal
standing" Mr.. Thompson declared. He
contended that ratification was a Fed
eral and not state act. and 30 could
not be reconsidered. His statement
emphasized:
"That the power Of tho Legislature
to act at all is derived from tho Fed
eral and not the state constitution.
"That the act Of ratification or re-
lection is a political and not legisla-
tive act.
THAT when the act is once consum-
mated the per ceases.
ut is true that the constitution of
Tennessee commits to the Legislature
the power to make its own rules in
the matter of legislation. The consti-
tuition Of Tennessee, however, could
not commit to the Legislature the
power to make rules regulating its acts
under a power which it derived from
the Federal Constitution"
By vote of II to 8 the Tennessee
Senate to-day in effect refused to join
with the House in an attempted re.
versal Of ratification Of the Federal
suffrage amendment.
The Senate's vote was recorded In
favor of a motion to return to- the
House the latter's message announcing
that it had voted to non-concur in the
Senate's adoption Of the ratification
resolution and had expunged from its
record the concurring vote of August 81
The motion for the return Of the
House message as passed carried an
explanation that the ratification reso-
luton had been taken out of the

may plan for solving the problem.

funds to keep the schools up TO the
