The house committee having the subject in charge has re- ported a constitutional amendment to that effect, and the senate subcommit- tee 1s also favorable to the change, but it is very doubtful if the amendment will secure the necessary two-thirds vote in the senate. There is no doubt it will pass the house, After it has passed both houses by the necessary two-thirds vote the assent of three fourths of the States will be necessary.
