HENzE WOULD URGE
ACTION BY CONGRESS
Created Of "Commonwealth Of Su'
perior" Again Advocated.

A concurrent resolution introduced
in the lower house Of the Michigan
legislature by Representative Walter
Henze, of Iron Mountain, would call
upon congress to divide Michigan in
to two states, the lower peninsula
to retain the present name and gov
ernment, and q new commonwealth
to be known as Superior" to be
created of the upper peninsula.
SDaking for his resolution, Repre-
sentative Henze declared that the
twelve representatives Of the upper
peninsula "had no power in the
house," that q divergence in inter-
ests Of the upper and lower peninsula
was handicap to upper Michigan
and that the district should be made
a separate state in order that it could
solve its peculiar problems in its own
way.
For a number Of years the question
Of forming two states Of Michigan
has been brought before the public,
but Mr.. Henze's resolution is the first
q the kind to be presented to the
legislature.
Some weeks ago resolution was
introduced in the Wisconsin legisla-
ture under which that state would
invite upper Michigan to become a
part of Wisconsin. The resolution,
which was killed in committee, re-
ceived no serious consideration in
Lansing, and the press of upper
Michigan failed to take kindly to the
suggestion.
