Why do you ask others to do

Which, of course, is a very

ator Norris, to Senator Norris
amend their constitution by the
adoption. of the Norris plan
which becomes effective jan
uary 2, 1887. This plan pro-
vides for a legislature of one
house.
Already the Nebraska amend
ment, which was ratified at the
November elections of last year,
is gaining popularity in other
States.
REDUCED PERSONNEL
In California, Delaware, Iowa,
Kansas, Maine, Missouri, North
Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, South
Dakota, Utah. Washington. Wis
consin and Wyoming legislation
has been drafted based upon
the Norris plan.
Most Of the bills proposing
State legislatures consisting of
only one house. which are now
under consideration in 18
States, provide that the size Of
the new legislative body shall
be limited to from 30 to so
members.
Should this limitation pre-
vail it would mean a reduction
Of approximately IS per cent in
legislative personnel and a cor
responding reduction in the
cost of State government to the
tax-ridden people who bear
that burden.
The bill which the Washing
ton legislature is considering
provides that each of the "a
proposed legislators for that
State will be required to hold
a full-time governmental POSI-
ton as the supervisor of a
State department aid will be
paid a monthly salary of $400
for such service.
Washington's legislature rnW
consists of SO members of the
house and As members of the

posed for the Montana legisla-

equally divided among the mem.
berS.
South Dakota is considering
a legislative proposal limiting
aggregate salaries to $35 900, and
Wyoming, a similar proposal for
a single legislature drawing az
gregate salaries of only $4,000.
In Montana and Michigan the
pending proposals are that the
two house form of legislature
shall be retained with drastic
reduction in the numbers Of
both senators and representa-
tiveS.
The Nebraska amendment
which will go into effect two
years hence not only provides
for a single chamber legislature
of not more than so, nor less
than 80 members, meeting in bi.
ennial session, but also for its
selection by nonpartiSan ballot.
In his first annual message
to the General Court of MasSa-
chusetts, Governor Curley said:
I'm my opinion the affairs Of
the Commonwealth could be
conducted more expeditiOuSIy
and with greater safety and
benefit to the public, with
more direst responsibility and
more economically by a redHc.
tiOn from the present number
to a number One-half as great.
or to 12O members in the
house of representatives and 20
members in the senate, and
with sessions held biennialIy."
All these proposals in widely
scattered States of the Union
to reduce. by one method or
another. the size of State legis-
lative bodies, afford welcome
evidence that the, people are
growing weary of being taxed
to support a horde of wholly
unnecessary public officials.
POPULAR RESPECT
Reducing S tate legislative
bodies is the first step toward
reorganizing and modernizing
our obsolete system Of State,
county and local governments.
Once the State legislatures
are reduced, either by the adop-
ton Of the Norris plan or by
q downward revision in the
number of the members Of
both houses, the American peo-
pie may wake up to the fact
that the same surgical opera
ton would raise the standard
and reduce the cost of their
representation in the House Of
Representatives in Washington.
If the present House, with a
membership Of 435, were re-
duced to $50 members the re-
suit would be better representa-
ton for the people, better legiS-
lation and a tremendous in.
crease in popular respect for
the Congress.

ducing the number OF acres

Poring through the reports
of the Agriculture Department
of 1921, which were published in
1922, farmers might find the
words of another Secretary of
Agriculture on the same subject.
He, too, was Henry A. Wallace,
the father of the radical incum.
bent.
A member of the Harding
Cabinet, he said in his report:
Acreage reduction is an ex-
tremely hazardous and unreli-
able method of controlling crop
production. 1t should not be
taken even though there ap-
pears to be a surplus for two
or three years."
A theoretical son fails to heed
the advice of an experienced
father.
