ABOLISH SENATE
WASHINGTON. April 27--A resolu-l
tloti to abolish the United States senate
was presented today by Victor L. Mer
ger, tho Milwaukee socialist member of
the house of representatives. A constitu
tion amendment doing nway with tho
"greatest dellbeiatlvo body In the
world" is tho means piovlded In tho
resolution.
Burger asserts that tho senate has be
come an obstructive body, many of
whoso members represent no stato at
all, but only vast combinations of pred
atory wealth. It Is for this reason that
he offered his constitutional amendment.
"A Useless Body."
"Tho senate has become an obstruc
tive, useless body a menace to the peo
ple's liberties," the resolution rooltos,
"a body many members of which aro
representatives solely of certain predar
tory combinations; a body which, by
reason of the corruption of 10 attending
tho election of its memhors, has fur
nished the gravest public scandula in
thu history or the nation."
Iierger proposed an amendment giving
thu house or rcprcHiitutlvoH all the du
ties now held by the senate, with a rcf.
oroudum on Its piovlslnns to holnvokcd
on petition of five per cent of tho qual
ified voters of threu-foui ths or tho
states, to bo filed within 1)0 days after
Iho passage of uny law.
ii lino with his opinion that the mi-
piemo court of tlie United States should
not bu permitted to declare Iiiwh uncon
stitutional, Merger's resolution stutes
that all laws enacted by the proposed
house should be tlie supremo law of tliej
land. j
n presenting his resolution Ilergur
said: "Tho senate bus run Its course
und must, like th-house or lords in Hng-i
laud, some day to yield to the populur
domain! for Its ilffonnutlnii or abolition,
