Though I have no opportunity to vote on the amendment. I am opposed to all literacy tests. I think a residence requirement and an age requirement are adequate. Why do I say that? I say it because I think that when a person reaches the age of 21 years. all other things being equal. his native intelligence and his experience qualify him to vote. We obtain wisdom from native intelligence and experience. That is how we make decisions. Frankly. I do not particularly care for the standard of a sixth grade education. but I recognize its source. In the report of the Commission the reason why the sixth grade requirement was chosen is stated.
