Congress Necessary.

Received No Action In or BY
Congress Necessary.
ROCHESTER,, N. H., Aug. I'm
discussing with various lawyers the
possibility that the action of the Ten
nessee legislature this week may prove
the final proceeding in the cycle of rat
ifieation of the suffrage amendment to
the federal constitution, the Union.
Leader correspondent found that there
are many who take a different view of
the matter than does Atty. Gen. Oscar
l.. Young of LacOnia. who last week
told the writer he believed the promul-
CATION of the fact that the amendment
was in force could not come until an
nouncement had been made officially in
the open senate by the secretary of
that body.
The correspondent was shown let
ter from an eminent jurist to- man
active in equal suffrage work and per-
mitted to make the following quota
tiOns:
''The interview attributed to Attor-
ney General Young, in which ne is
made to say that, no matter if the 30
states ratify the 10Th amendment, no
right to vote will result until congress
assemblies in December and makes an
nouncement of the fact, must, I am
sure, have resulted from the reporter 3
misinterpretation of some chance and
unofficial remark of the attorney gem
eral, or. else am myself altogether mis-
taken about the matter.
In the latest statement of the sub
ject of Constitutional law which has
come to my hand is the following state
ment:
q Congressional legislation has
placed with the secretary of the state
the duty of investigating the official re-
turns Of the action of the various
states on proposed amendments and of
promulgating such as are thus found TO
have been du1y-~a 4opted 'as a part of
the constitution. az Corpus Juris,
6S2.)
''Thfrd United States statutes at
large. s439, provides That, whenever
official notice shall have been received,
at the9 department of the state, that
any amendment which heretofore has
been, or hereafter may be, proposed to
the Constitution of the United States,
has been adopted, according to the pro-
visions of the constitution, it shall be
the duty of the said secretary of state
forthwith to cause the said amendment
to be published in the said newspapers
authorized to promulgate the laws,
with his certificate specifying the
states by which the same may be
adopted, and that the same has become
valid, to all intents and purposes, as
a part of the constitution of the United
States.' ...
"It would seem therefore, that it is
the business of the secretary of state
to investigate the returns of the vari-
Gus states on proposed amendments,
and promulgate the result.
''Ifthis is so, no reason appears why
the operation of the amendment should
be deferred until the assembling of
congress, and why it may not go into
effect at once upon the publication of
its adoption by the secretary of state
for the United States.'
