ABOLISH THE SENATE.-The
United States senate should be
abolished. The old idea of one.
branch of the legislature checking
the other is not applicable to goth
century requirements. The referen-
dunn is the proper check for hasty
legislation in a democracy.
The senate is as likely to suppress
a good law as a bad one. The senate
is unnecessary and cumbersome. 1t
is as useless as a fifth wheel on
cart.
1t cannot be truly representative,
because the few states with dense
populations get only two representa-
tives each in the senate. Four or
five Of the western states do not con-
tain the population of one eastern
state, and yet they get eight or ten
votes in the senate against the two
of the pOpulOUs eastern state.-Jas.
