POWER OF AMENDMENT GREATEST FIN CONSTITUTION

. The greatest power in the Consti- tuition was that of amendment, So- licitor Generad Beck asserted in the argument It conferred upon the people, he said, the right to change the form of government whenever they pleased. The Nineteenth Am endment, under his construction, mer- ly added the word "sex" to the pro- visions of the Fifteenth Amendment that there should be no discrimina- tion on account of race, color or previous servitude. It would be "political revolution" he declared for the court, after equal sufferage had been acquiesced in for half a century, to set it aside.
 The election of Senators by the director vote of the people would sus- tain the validity of the amendment against the contention that it de- prives the States of equal represen- tation in the Senate, the government declared, insisting that if the peo- pie by a direct vote select their representatives in the Senate there, is no reason why they should not pro- vide who should excersise the right of sufferage in such selection.

AGRICULTURE ENTRIES
 ON MINING LANDS IS
 NOW BEING RECOGNIZED

The Alaska homestead surface rights measure became law through it's signature by President Harding, &C., cording to telegraphic advices received from Washington from private sources. Through the provisions of the law, it now becomes possible for settlers on coal or oil lands to obtain title to the surface lands without dis turbing the governments title in the coal or oil deposits which may be un- derneath.
 Although public land states have had such law for years, all previous efforts to obtain it for Alaska have been futile. On two occasions a bill covering the matter was passed by the Senate, but was not voted on in the House. This season, Representative Sinnott, of Oregon, pushed a measure through the House, which the Senate later passed with some slight amend ments which did not materially effect if If is understood that the House agreed to these amendments.
 The new law will permit many set tiers in the Kachemak Bay and others in the Cook Inlet district to obtan title to the agricultural holdings they have spent years in developing ana which heretofore they were unable to patent.

Replying, however, to the assertion that the amendment had not been legally ratified, the govern ment asserted that Missouri, Ten nessee and West Virginia had been properly counted, but that if Mis- souri was excluded that being the only one in the view of the govern ment open to question, under any reasonable contention-it was offset by Vermount and Connecticut, which had ratified after the proclamation had been issued.
