Democratic (socialist/proto-fascist) Governor Joseph M. Brown, of the confederate State of Georgia, transmits to Philander Chase Knox, Secretary of State, that the Georgia legislature has passed Senate Resolution 23, which does not ratify the unlawfully proposed 16th amendment to the Constitution for the united States, as it voted to pass modified text.  Senate Joint Resolution 40 as it was allegedly passed by the Republican (proto-fascist/socialist) 61st Constitutional Congress (elected in accordance with Article I, Section 3 [Clause 1]) read as:

        The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration. 

But both legislative houses ratified two different alterations of the same amendment:

The Georgia Senate’s version read as:

        The Congress shall have power to levy and collect taxes on incomes[comma deleted] from whatever source derived[comma deleted] without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.

The Georgia House’s version read as:

        The Congress shall have power to levy and collect taxes on income[comma deleted] from whatever sources  derived[comma deleted] without apportionment to the State.

An amendment proposed by Congress may not be amended.  It may only be voted up or down.

        Postscript: A year later the legislature took the matter up again, as it realized it had not properly ratified the proposed 16th amendment. But the issue was never finalized.  On February 25, 1913, Philander Chase Knox, Secretary of State, falsely recorded Georgia as the eighth State to have ratified the purported 16th amendment.

        NOTE: This is the further realization of plank number two of the “Communist Manifesto” by Karl Marx.
