For while President Roosevelt carried the state by 100,000 and Governor Cochran by 17,000, in- ticating a Democratic sweep, Repub- licans and Democrats turned up in the new one-chamber legislature al- most evenly divided, 22 Democrats and 21 Republicans. | That is, Republicans running on the legislative ticket without the party designation, seem actually to have had better luck than if they hadi been forced to carry the party label. | Sensible of their lack of indebted- ness for election to national party ties, the new legislators are expected to do but little party caucusing, and to function largely as non-partisans, Works in Many Cities The new single-chamber legistature | has never been tried in quite this form. Several states had a version of it years ago, always with a council over it, exercising a veto and ham- pering operations, But Prof. John P. Senning of the University of Nebraska, one of the advocates of the new plan, calls at- tention to the fact that practically every U. 8. city over 25,000 in popula- tion has a “one-chamber” city council, and eight out of nine Canadian prov- inces, one Australian commonwealth and the new Philippine government function in this manner. Thus, though the average American thinks of @ two-house legislature as being inseparable as Wash Tubbs and Captain Easy, or ham and eggs, Ne- braska has shown that it isn’t neces- sarily so. The two-house legislature was set up as part of the American system of “checks and balances,” but too often it has worked out all check and no balance. Professor Ssnning believes that all real check on legis- lative bodies comes, not from another house, but from outside, the governor, the state supreme court, and public opinion. Victory for Norris ‘The Nebraska one-house legislature is regarded as being “the cream of} the crop.” There were 259 candl- | dates for the 43 jobs, and 32 of the) wy, 43 elected had had previous Jegisla- tive experience. Thus the new exper- iment gets away under experienced hands. One of the members is former U. 8. Congressman John W. Norton, who has been working for a one-house leg- islature since 1913. He was a team-mate of U. 8. Sena- TE 5 y| Queenly purse Wednesday to help tor George W. Norris in the success- ful fight. Norris believed the new Plan so important he attended the ‘opening session even though be had to be absent from the convening of the national congress in Washington. He classes it in importance with TVA, and his anti-lame-duck amend- ment. Passage of the new one-chamber plan after 25 years of fighting for it, is largely credited to Norris’ per- onal influence with the Nebraska electorate. Lieutenant-Governor Jurgenson pre- | sides over the single legislative cham- ber. He votes only in case of a tie. If the new system pee works oe with anything lke the economy ef- fectiveness and generally dignified tone that is expected, the movement for similar action in other states may get quite a push. To get a state legislature to vote three-quarters of its members out ot dobs is not easy.
