to reconvene for thirty days and en- act into laws those bills desired by the electors, as learned during the adjournment period.
 It is also quite possible that some form of secret ballot could be adopted in the legislature, with the same end in view as our common secret suffrage to guard against party and individual domination. I feel that such a scheme could be safely tried if the general voters voted solely on matters of d candidates qualifications for the of flee, rather than because of bias or prejddice. If a candidate is properly qualified, he is entitled to confidence of his people in his integrity. other wise he should not be voted for. And if he has integrity, he could safely use a secret ballot.
 It is frequently stated that a higher salary would induce beeter qualified candidates to run. but in my opinion it is of doubtful value. A good legis- lator should of course be well paid; but for the most part the well qualified

nothing gained, and with the right pur- pose in view, we are certain ultimately to attain right ends.
 Two forms of remedies suggest themselves; one is by laws; that other is entirely within the power of the voters themselves.
 It might be advisable by law to pro- vide that no member of the state leg islature should be eligible to any publ lie office or profit for two years after his term of office expires, except to succeed himself. This might have a tendency to keep out the aspiring politician who is so willing, by legis- lation, to build political fences for his own future welfare, at state expense On the other hand, nothing should be done to discourage a well qualified man from succeeding himself, because he will be doubly valuable on his next term, if conscientious, and if he can be induced to try it again.
 And it would seem a very reasonable provision by law to require copy of the reports of each department and state institution to be in the hands of each legislator in ample time for review and study before the session begins. Then if he did not study and review, that in itself would prove that he is not the man for the office. In addition, the members should have the governors message and report long before they go into session Receiv- ing the governors report and message a week or two weeks after the session convenes means almost necessarily that careful study thereof is impos- sible.
 To carry out the above suggestions it might be well by law to provide that the regular session of the legis- lature should not convene until one year after the general elections. This would give the new administration al opportunity to find itself, and the leg | islature the benefit of the experienced | suggestions, and would give the legis- lators an opportunity to prepare theil work and weigh the new office holders
 It is quite possible that there is benefit to be had by the legislature meeting for say thirty days, then to ad ' iourn and mingle with the people fol ! discussion of proposed laws, and ther

all salary raises except where mani festly inadequate, and if he fights every appropriation or expenditure llke 1t was his own money, you may be very sure that is unpopular in the assembly, and will be sure of strong negative vote if he is foolhardy enough ever to run again for public office for the sake of the public.
 Not infrequently. either through ignorance or through wilful 'disrekard of the statewide effect, a bill is in trooduced affecting the whole state at large, but with the purpose of cor recting a disorder or dissatisfaction in one little locality only. Needless to say, because the town of Squee- dunk is dissatisfied with its mayor, there is no reason to disturb every other town in the state in order to Top off the political head of Squee- dunks mayor. But nevertheless, that is the effect of many bills, though it may not be at all obvious on the face of it.
 Still another serious defect is the party or personal domination over an individual. It is a serious thing for one to vote on a question when his conSclence tells him 10 Note 10 the contrary. A party domination is al ways for political ends first. and per haps for the state afterwards. And a personal domination is always for the benefit of the dominating individual and never for the state- In either case, the state does not get what it is entitled to.
 The above set forth defects are conspicuous enough to one who has been there, though they may not bf so apparent to the general citizen They need merely the pointing out, tt i one who knows, to receive disapproVal But the general citizen would be mor' or less helpless if one were to stoI merely with the pointing out of the de fleets. Therefore, merely as sugges. tons that may or may not be good the author presumes to set forth a fev l ideas of the writer that might be o l help toward correcting any presen
 wrongs, though there is always som
 danger that the remedy suggested ma.
 in itself ultimately prove equal. .ss rQne 1pVeyer, nothing ventured

 Now that the session of the legisla- ture is over and sufficient time has elapsed so that it is reasonably safe to look back on the work from prop CT perspective, the author would like to set before the public the exper- fences gained, for what they mayi be worth, in order that the public may know some of the things pertaining to work in the legislature of our state. The review herewith presented is purely personal, and is an attempt, in 0 constructive spirit, to help along toward the goal of efficient govern ment
 The writer first points out what ap- pear to him to be some of the more important defects in our system, and then follows with some suggestions looking toward @ possible remedy
 Upon the converting of the legisla- ture, the members are assigned by the speaker to certain committees. In the house there are 2S committees of from five to seven members, al though there are only 95 members of the house. Needless to say all mem bers serve on several different com mittees
 The normal course of a bill is to be introduced and read by number and title only the first day, and is there upon assigned to the printing com mittee for printing. The next day the bill is read the second time by num- Der and title and is then referred to some one or more of the small com mittees for consideration and report The bill then goes to the chairman of that committee and in due course of time in committee meeting the bill is considered. Theoretically, this sounds good, but in fact it is seldom that all of the members are present. Some of them are on other committees, others have gone home. and others are ab- sent for some reason. At any rate the bill receives some consideration, and those members present get some knowledge of the contents of the bill, and the bill goes out with a recom- mendation that it do pass, or that it do not pass, or that it be amended in some particular. The bill is next called up for consideration in the committee of the whole house. This is usually the first time that the whole body has any opportunity tc read and study the detail of the bill or hear it discussed. If one knows about the bill, he may now argue il somewhat But unless a thorough dis cussion takes place, one must make uI his mind on the short consideration given The bill then goes to a third reading. this time in full, for fina passage. When enc realizes that tho committee of the whole house seldom lasts over two hours, and in tha- time a dozen bills or more may be con sidered, one gets a faint idea of how little time one gets to study a biI thoroughly.
 One great defect in our present sys- tenn is the manner in which legislation is rushed through without opportunity for due and deliberate consideration In the last legislature there wer, about four hundred bills introduced, tt be acted on in 50 days, and a grea deal of that time is taken up il routine matters and committee meet ings. It is no small task to merell read that number of bills in that time not to mention study in detail witt reference to existing laws and othe

legislator is not influenced to run be- cause of the salary. At any reason able salary a good man is apt to lose money. Good men can be induced to run regardless of salary, for their con- tribution to the public welfare, if only we can bring about a change in our attitude toward legislators in general, and make them feel that we appre- ciate their good efforts and know that they did their best on behalf of the state. There is a saying, ''the public gets what it is entitled to" And a more careful selection on the basis Of reason and qualification rather than selfishness and bias might be of benefit.
 This state needs able men in Its affairs, not big men necessarily, but able men, men well qualified. who are honest. seasoned, experienced, intelli- gent and fearless, men who put the state first and themselves last mea who care for the welfare of all. AR4
