BERGER RDENOUNCES
SENATE, ASKS THAT
IT Be ABOLISHED
Socialist, in Resolution, Calls
Upper Body a Menace
to Liberty:

sensational arraignment of the
United States Senate, on the ground
that many Of its members were the
representatives solely Of certain preda-
tory combinations" was contained in a
resolution introduced in the House to-
day by Representative Victor Z. Berger,
the Wisconsin Socialist, demanding a
constitutional amendment abolishing the
upper bouse of Congress =
Berger's resolution recites that the
tendency in civilized nations through
the last century has been toward a
lodgment OF greater power In the hands
of the representatives of the people, and
that the United States has not kept
pace with this development.
In particular" the resolution con-
tinues, "the Senate has become an OBJ
structive and useless body, a menace to
the liberties of the people and an OBJ
stacle to social growth: body many OF
the members of which are the repre-
sentatives neither Of a State nor of its
people, but solely of certain predatory
combinations, and a body which, by
reason of the corruption often attend
ing the election of Its members, has
furnished the gravest public scandals in
the history of the nation"
Would Amend Constitution.
Berger proposes that the Constitution
shall be amended so as to lodge with
the House all the duties at present
given to the Senate, with referendum
provisions, enabling the people directly
to express their opinion on its enact
oents. The referendum may be invoked
4pon petition Of 5 per cent Of the quail
Sed voters in three-fourths of the
ftates, filed within ninety days after
ahe passage of a law by the House.
In line with his expression that the
Aower of declaring laws unconstitutional
should be taken from the Supreme Court
Of the United States, Berger's resolu-
ton distinctly states that the laws en-
acted by the proposed House shall be
She supreme laws. 1t also provides that
the President shall not have any veto
power.
Discussing his resolution today, Ber-
ger said:
The Senate has run its course and
must some day, as with the British
house of lords, yield to the popular
6emand for its reformation or abolition.
People Conservative.
There is nothing so conservative as
the great mass of the people. We can
not change by a legislative act, or acts,
the habits and the mode of thinking pro-
duced by generations. The referendum
IS In reality. the most conservative pol
ltical power in existence. II Is infinite
ly stronger than all the Senates in the
world"
Since the rules of the House string
ently prohibit any criticism of the Sen
ate by members, "standpat" Reprsen-

HITCHCOCK FAYORS
CENT POSTAGE TEST.
IN DISTRICT FIRST
Talk of Penny Letter Service
Rife After Deficit
Worries.

Talk of penny postage for letters Is in.
I sistent after Postmaster General Hitch,
| cocks announcement that the posta
deficit has been practically wiped out
Two arguments are offered-one by
Those who do not consider the postal
service expensive. and those who think
the department ought tc pay the Gov.
ernment
Mr.. Hitchcock thinks the one-cent
rate ought to be acquired gradually.
The one-cent rate could first be ap-
piled locally" Mr.. Hitchcock said. "and
then extended. 1t would give. the Gov
ernment a chance to try 1t out without
taking great responsibility on its
hands. The rate could be extended grad
ually, but effectively. and without plac-
ing upon the revenues of the depart
ment too sudden or heavy load"
Mr.. Hitchcock said that as the amount
Of mail matter increased the proportion
ate cost Of handling 1t decreased. 1t is
this fact which should make the re-
moval Of the Postoffice Department s
deficit especially notable. ne says. for
the amount of mail matter handled in
the past year or two has not increased
at normal rates. The departmen has
extended, not curtailed, its service. The
increase Of rates on second class mat
ter, Mr.. Hitchcock said. would provide
a large part of the revenues required
by the department to establish a one
cent rate on letter mail.
This would require one class OF users
of the mails to pay more" he said. but
1t would afford to all users a great BEN
eft"
No legislation contemplating penny
postage has been urged at this extra
session, and none seems likely. When
Congress convenes In December, how
ever, bills for that purpose may be Of
fered. Many advocates OF postal exten-
sion argue that the Postoffce Depart
ment ought to work under a deficit re-
sultant from providing the public with
the most ample service possible, but
they will not lose an opportunity to turn
the economy of the department to ad-
vantage in advocating penny postage.

he may look upon their prohibition as

Apartment life was also scored by

most conducive to the development Of
the naughty child.

The child in our day is deprived of

as "a crime against childhood" the
coddling of children by devoted moth
