GEORGE URGES BAN
ON SHORT TERM"
Senator, Praising Dawes,
Believes Change in Sessions,
Not Rules, Is Neede6.
BY the Associated Press.


ATLANTA. Ga, May 9.-The At
lanta Constitution tomorrow will pub
llsh story in which Senator Walter
t.. George of Georgia is quoted as
suggesting that the adoption of a con-
Stltut1onal amendment eliminating the
short term of Congress will obtain
results desired by Vice President
Dawes.
am not one of those who resent
the position taken by Vice President
Dawes, whom I hold in very high
personal esteem and who. I am sure,
is actuated by patriotic motives in
the position he takes regarding a
revision of the Senate rules so as to
prevent the obstruction of legislation
by a few, who, by filibuster methods.
can prevent vote on any question"
the Senator is quoted as saying.
That remedial action of some kind
is necessary / agree with the Vice
President, but I do not think the end
he desires can be reached by revision
of the Senate rules.
Could End Filibuster.
Under the present rules of the
Senate, it would be very simple
matter to defeat filibustering by a
lew Senators, We're it not for the
fact that the Congress, which as
sembles in alternate years, is limited
to a short term, beginning the first
Monday in December and ending on
the following fourth of March. With
that constitutional limitation. it makes
no difference what the rules of the
Senate may be, for a few men can
talk any measure to death.
Relief can be obtained only by an
amendment to the Federal Constitu-
ton, which, in effect, would do away
with the short term which is at the
bottom of all this filibustering trouble
AS the matter now stands, new
House of Representatives and one
third of the Senate is elected in
November in alternate years.
Whatever may be the issue on
which "a Congress is elected, it is
impossible for those chosen in these
elections to give expression to the
voice of their constituency until 10
months have elapsed between their
election and the converting of the
Congress in which they are chosen
to serve"
Scores Bloc System.
At the last session the Senate acted
favorably on a constitutional amend
ment providing that the Congress
elected in November shall meet in the
January following, but the House did
In addition to his several objections
to the short term" the Senator calls
attention to the necessity of Congress
passing upon the appropriation and
supply measures during these periods.
F1libustering, he says, virtually Is
confined to the short sessions.
THE short session of Congress is
largely responsible for the breeding
of the bloc system, which now hap,
PLY seems to be on the wane," the
Senator says. I'VE have no room in
this country for the bloc system of
government and the sooner it is elimi-
mated the better it will be for the
whole country"
The Senator expresses the hope the
Vice President will view the short
session question in the same light
and asserts he hopes the president
also may see his way clear to bring
this all-important matter to the at
tention of Congress in his next
message"
