Bow TO Progress

When the Nebraska state legislature adjourned
the other day 1t established a landmark in the states
history-and. possibly. in the whole history Of state
government in America. as well.
The legislature did this by the simple act OF ad-
journing; for the next Nebraska legislature to con-
vene will be a one-chamber affair Of 4S members. a
small and compact group which viii be much less
expensive for the state to support and which should
be infinitely more efficient in action than any pre-
vious legislature.
Nebraska is about to begin a highly interesting
experiment. which other states might well watch
with great attention. With one bold stroke, Nebraska
has attempted to make its legislative branch as
modern and as truly representative Of the best things
In the state as the beautiful capitol in which the
legislature meets.
II the experiment works half as well as its pro-
ponents claim. the next decade will probably see Il
copied widely.
