A Simplified Law-Making System.

It was about three years ago that The Palla-
dunn called attention to the fact that the legisa-
tive branch Of the Indiana state government was
obsolete; too cumbersome piece Of govern
mental machinery to respond effectively to the
modern demands for simplified efficiency.
In supporting the contention it pointed
out that two house legislative body was
as unnecessary for state government as two
councils would be for the legislative branch of a
municipal government.
The argument was also advanced that under
the present system, calling for large number of
lawmakers at small salaries, high type men COM
prise a small minority of every legislature al
though it is vitality important if the state is to
have good laws to send THINKING men of real
constructive ability to the legislature. Such men,
however, are not attracted to the states service
under the legislative system which has obtained
since Indiana was admitted into the union
At the time The Palladium advocated a
reorganization of Indianas legislative system
it advised the establishment of a one house
legislature, it's membership comprising two
representatives from each of the thirteen con-
that such body should sit continuously and that
the salaries for it's members should be of such an
amount as to appeal to men thoroughly compe-
tent to be intrusted with legislative powers. 1t
was contended that as much restraint could be
provided for such body as provided for the I'M
weildly, incompetent legislative system the state
is now afflicted with. A one house legislatures
acts could be subject to the approval of the gov
