Government Called
Triumph of Modern Democracy
fLondon Times }


The lagthing consists of one-fourth of
the members nominated and elected
In full storthing. There is no rule
governing the number each party may
elect. but generally there is an equal
percentage elected from all parties.
When the lagthing has been elected,
the remaining three-fourths form the
Odclsthing.
All bills are first presented to the
odelsthing for discussion. A bare ma
iority only is needed to pass ordinary
measures, but measures seeking TO
deal with the constitution must have
a two-thirds majority, and no measure
can pass the odelsthng unless two
thirds of the members are present and
vote upon H. After being passed by
the odesthing measures are sent up
to the lagthing. and. If passed there.
they then become law after having
been sanctioned by the king. If re-
Iectcd by the lagthing they are re-
turned To the odclsthing. again dis
cusscd, and either sheved or returned
amended or in their original form.
II the lagthing rejects a measure a
second time 1t comes before the full
storthing, and Is then accepted as law
If passed by a two-thirds majority
The king has the power To veto amy
measure, but II three successive
storthings are against him his veto Is
automatically removed
Local government In Norway is
largely administcd by town councils
and rural district councils, but, in adj
dition Il rural district usually con
sists of several parishes. each Of which
has its own parish council, and the
districts in each county form a unit
of their own. the county corporation.
The municipalities have not quite To-
cal autonomy. but they have very
large powers and only in certain cases
have they to apply to the project or
to the government concerning meas
ufcs which IN order to become valid
require the approval of either of these
authorities. The outstanding feature
of Norwegian local government is the
fact that II is slmplified as much as
possible, ana that each department
has its own clearly defined and sep
arate duties. There is very little over
tapping, the educational. the poor
law, the health ana the other local
administrative bodies do not come in
conflict with each other as they do
in some countries. We cannot say
that local government is perfect. bur
it is fairly efficient This is doubtless
due to the fact that the different de-
partments have not to deal with vast
numbers of people The poor law
officers generally know personally al
most every individual who applies for
relief, and they have generally per
sonal knowledge of the history of
each case with which they are called

Each commune has sub-commit-
tee appointed from its governing
council called the ''vaergeraad' Otter
