National Affairs: Unfinished Business
The 67th will receive both praise and blame for what it left undone. Among a mass of interesting business which it will probably hand down to Number 68, there are seventy-seven proposed amendments to the Constitution, including:
An amendment that would prevent issuance of tax-exempt securities.
An amendment to inaugurate the President and seat Congress in January instead of March, following election.
An amendment to provide a minimum wage law.
An amendment that would permit Congress to regulate the employment of women and of children under 18 years of age.
And also bills proposing:
A ship subsidy.
A soldier bonus.
Revised immigration regulations.
