Unfortunately, the enactment of an Amendment creates a revised Constitution. That provision was superseded by the 17th Amendment.
I have read that there may be a legal challenge to the manner in which the 17th Amendment was passed (something to do with sufficiency of votes, I believe). I may be confusing that with the passage of the Amendment that allowed income tax.

you're definitely confusing it with the income tax. it was supposedly never ratified.
