Democratic (socialist/proto-fascist) Secretary of State John B. Grimes, of the confederate State of North Carolina, transmits to Philander Chase Knox, Secretary of State, that the enclave legislature has passed House Bill Nine, 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 what the legislature passed contained the following errors:

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

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

       PostscriptOn February 25, 1913, Philander Chase Knox, Secretary of State, falsely recorded North Carolina as the fourteenth 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.
