'DIRTY POLITICS' ARE TARGET OF ASSEMBLY PLAN

Unicameral Legislature to Get First Test In Nebraska. Hf r air. 4 r.. M COOK Neb.. Nov 13—Nebraska* fiftieth state legislature will convene New Years day at Lincoln to set in action machinery to abolish itself and bring to materialization the second life-time dream of Senator George W. Norris. Out on the central Nebraska prairies, the silver haired Progressive is making plans for final steps in the materialization of this dream —his unicameral legislative assembly. His first vision was one of a productive Muscle Shoals, and today the city in the heart of the great Tennevsee Valley Authority bears his name as a tribute to hi; work. By a majority of more than 50.000 votes, 500 000 Nebraska citizens who balloted last week approved his legislative reform. It remains now only for the next legislature to carry out the mandate. Senator Norris, the Nebraska Republican who bolted his own party to support Alfred E Smith and Franklin D. Roosevelt, visualizes a new era in which legislators will be brought, closer to the people. $1,050 Proposed Salary The constitutional amendment approved by the electorate provides for a single chamber of "not more than fifty and not less than thirty" members. Exact number must be designated by the legislature at tne coming session. Senator Norris has indicated the broad outlines of his plan and th~ legislators are expected generally to follow his recommendations. Hr wants the house to be convened every two years. The number of members, he behevws, probably should approximate fifty. With salaries of about 51.650—a figure sufficient. he believes, to attract men of high caliber. Most of the support for the plan he says, came from business men "tired of dirty politics." "Men of a high type will offer j themselves for service in this single house.” he said. "I have received i word already from men of this class which gave me indications they will make themselves available.” I.nbhies Are Target Influencing of legislators by lobbies with liquor and entertainment.! abhorrent to the Nebraska statesman will end with this new high type personnel, the senator believes. Himself an exiiert in legislative procedure. Senator Norris is convinced that the unicameral plan offers a better way to progress. “Our people are sufficiently civilized and educated to know what kind of government they want," he said. "If we now can improve our lawmaking bodies and give the people a more direct voice in their state j government, why should we not ( eliminate some of the things which have been found unnecessary and cumbersome?'* The bicameral conference committee. he contends, defeats the will of the people in many instances and is fundamentally undemocratic. In effect, he says, it represents a "third house and in practice has "the real and autocratic voice" in hotly contestrd controversies. Speaking from the viewpoint of a practical legislator with thirty years experience. Senator Norris said: Personal Win for Norris "It is impossible to defeat legislation proposed by the conference committee and as a practical result we have legislation not by the voice of the senate or house, but by the ! voire of five or six men. Those who clamor for a large legislature, for a check and balance between the two houses, do not realize such a condition results in legislation by a much smaller group of men than is provided for in the unicameral amendment.” Whatever the final verdict of Nebraska may be after the first uhicameral house sits in 1937. it is certain citizens are solidity behind Senator Norris in his experiment in democracy now. When he launched his initiative and succeeded in placing it on the ballot, opposition became bitter. Bv election day a former Nebraska Governor was stumping the state against it and virtually every major newspaper in the state was opposing it. The 50.000 majority for the plan was a sweeping personal triumph for the senator who waged almost a one-man fight for it.
