CONSTITUTIONAL PROPOSALS.
CAN NOT BE SUBMITTED
FOR RATIFICATION.
Action Of Legislature In Ratification
Of the Dry Law IL Final, and e.
forts Of Vets to overturn DN.
cision Comes to Nauoht.

WashingtOn.-Th supreme court In
q unanimous opinion on June /, held
that federal constitutional amend
ments cannot be submitted to popular
vote for ratification by states having
referendum provisions In their con.
stitutions
The method of ratifying amend
ments, the court held Is a national
power specifically granted by the
federal constitution ana the states
have no authority to provide other
wise In so holding, the court de
clared imperative provisions OF the
Ohio state constitution authorizing
submission OF federal amendments to
referendum for ratification, and
overturned state supreme court de-
crees dismissing injunction proceed
ings in a taxpayers suit to enjoin
submission Of the prohibition and wo-
mans suffrage amendments to q
referendum vote.
Next to the cases involving the
validity OF the prohibition amendment
and the enforcement, the Ohio refer.
endum cases were considered the most
important before the supreme court
The decision does not affect the pend
ing prohibition cases.
The courts opinion, however, puts
an end to any controversy as tC
whether Ohio has ratified both amend
ments and puts Ohio definitely in the
list of states approving each of fhe
amendments.
Power to ratify federal amend
amendment, according to the courts
opinion. which was rendered by AS
sociate Justice Day, is derived from
the federal constitution and state
has no authority to designate the
means of ratification.
