DUPLICATION OF LEGISLATIVE
BRANCHES

Members of the two branches Of our
state legislatures are elected by the
people of the several states and from
the same class OF people and are given
the same legislative authority. There is
no division anywhere in the Union
along %aristocratic lines, and there is no
qualifications of wealth or property.
There is no reason to give the two
branches of our state legislatives the
same authority to do the same thing,
where they possess the same qualifica-
tions for office and where the work
of the two bodies is identical. Our
Legislative system provides, in SO far
as the legislatures are concerned, that
the work shall be done twice, requiring
identical action by each branch, al
though each branch has the same juris-
diction. Such unreasonable and illogi-
cal action is not required in any other
governmental activity.
The illogical procedure is well illus
trated by what happens in our courts
of justice. A case in court may involve
a lifetime Of saving. 1t may involve
the liberty Of one or more of the hti-
giants, 1t may even involve human life
But, however important may be the
issue, it is unnecessary to have more
than one trial. Under the guidance
and control of the presiding judge, eacl
side offers all the evidence deemed i'm.
portant or relevant. When all the evi'
dence is in, the attorneys argue th'
case to the jury. When the argumen
is over, the judge i%nstructs the jury
The jury r%etires, and after delibera.
ton, renders a verdict. The judge rem
ders judgment upon this verdict. Thu
determination Of the issue is then set
tiled. 1t is ended, unless the jury O
the judge has violated some consti
t%utional provision, in which case tn
entire trial is set aside and held TO
naugh by the appellate court
This same check would exist in leg
~islative matters, if we had the one
house legislature. Il the legislature ex
ceeded its constitutional authority IL
the enactment OF any law, it would b
set aside by the supreme court. Their
would also exist the veto power OF tn
governor and referendum provision
Of the state constitution so that tn
people could by such referendum multi
fly any law passed by the one-hous
legislature, as they have the power t
do now.

TIFF MINERS LEADER is
KICKED OUT OF JAIL TO
FORESTALL APPEAL

ST. LOUIS. -(FP)-Joe Morris,
jailed for criticizing a Judge, has been
kicked out Of jail despite attempts Of
his attorneys to keep him there.
Civil Liberties Union lawyers wanted
to keep Morris, leader OF last summers
victorious Missouri tiff mine strike, in
Washington county Jail long enough to
take his case to the U. S. Supreme
Court. Morris wanted to stay to help
protect others from being arbitrarily
jailed for telling a strike meet what
they think OF a strikebreaking i%njunc-
ton.
But Judge bearing, whose dignity
was offended when Morris said he
should be ~impeached for his sweeping
injunction against $250-a-week tiff
miners, got cold feet after organized
labor began hollering and even the pa
pers took up the issue in a big way. In
stead of holding Morris from nov on"
or until he paid a $50 fine for contempt
(Which Morris couldn't pay and
wouldn't if he could, Judge bearing
ordered him released at the end OF 80
days, thereby forestalling an appeal to
the Supreme Court. Morris, tried with
out jury, had been previously told he
could not work out his fine.
Friends arranged a banquet and mass
meeting for Morris on his return to St,
Louis. They said it was a shame a
mans rights to criticize a judge hadn't
been definitely established, but pre-
dicted it would be a long time before a
judge would attempt another Joe Nor
ris case.

THE ONE-HOUSE
LEGISLATURE
By W. J. PRIEST

A study OF the history OF civilization
will convince any student OF govern
ment that the legislature has come into
existence as a curb upon the power OF
ROYALTY. Originally there were no leg
Iislatures. As the people became better
educated and as civilization advanced,
various methods and means were adopt
ed to curb the power of the king and
TO give the people some voice IN gov
ernment. Gradually, through the cen
turtles, various devices were invented
and tried with varying degrees OF sue
cess. Eventually the legislature came
into existence.
The first assemblies which had any
resemblance to a legislature were call
ed together by the king, usually Tor the
purpose OF advising with the monarch
as to how best he could preserve all his
authority from the demands OF his
people who were dissatisfied and who
were complaining OF alleged tyrannical
acts. These assemblies had no repre-
sentative functions whatever. They did
what the king desired, and if they did
not, their services were terminated.
These assemblies were composed, OF
course, Of single bodies, but they had
no function that a democracy would
confer upon a legislature as it is now
understood. Gradually these assem-
blies, under various names, began to
have some legislative functions, and the
people had some degree of participa-
ton in their selection. They gravitated
into two groups, one representing no
bility and wealth, the other represent
ing the people.

~UNICAMERAL FEDERAL LEGIS,
LATURE IMPOSSIBLE

In advocating the adoption Of a one
house legislature by our states, | am
often asked why | do not advocate a
change in the Federal Constitution, pro-
viding for a one-house legislature. To
this question there is an easy answer.
Regardless Of the merits or the de-
merits Of a one-house Legislature as
compared with a two-house legislature,
it is impossible under present conditions
to secure a one-house Federal legisla-
ture.
The Constitution OF the United States
provides that each state regardless OF
size or population, shall have two mem
bers Of the United States Senate, This
gives to all smaller states an advantage
over the larger and more %populous
states in the Senate. Delaware, with
its area and comparatively small popu-
%lation, is entitled to as great represen-
tation in the Senate as is New York
Little New Mexico having a vast terri
tory but not enough population to en-
title it to two members in the House
Of Representatives is equal in the Sen
ate to the State Of Pennsylvania.
An amendment to the Constitution
of the United States must have, before
it can be submitted, a two-thirds vote
in the Senate and also in the House O
Representatives The smaller and les
populous states, which under II Con.
stitution have an advantage in the Sen.
ate, vastly outnumber the more popu
lous states. 1t would be an impossible
ity to secure a two-thirds vote in eithe'
house to submit the necessary constitu
tional amendment. But even if such al
amendment were submitted, it woulC

ENGLISH AND AMERICAN LEGIs.
LATIVE STRUCTURE

IN 4 ' Il
In England, one group became known
as the House OF Lords representing the
nobility and the people of wealth, the
other became known as the House OF
Commons, representing the common
people. Other countries had very sim
liar experiences.
Although the American eolonists re-
belled against Great Britain and formed
a government Of their own, still, in
setting up the new government they
used the mother country as a model.
At that time England was governed by
a Parliament consisting of two houses,
the House of Lords and the House OF
Commons. Each one of these houses
had the same jurisdiction. The House
Of Lords, however, owed no response
bility to the people. Its members were
appointed for life, by the King. The
two houses of Parliament therefore
represented two classes of people. They
obtained their offices from entirely dif-
ferent sources. The members Of the
House Of Commons received their
source Of power from the common
people, while the members of the house
OF Lords received their authority from
the King. Thus constituted, it was sup
posed that one would be a check upon
the other, and the arrangement would
prevent either one Of these classes
from getting any undue advantage in
government.
When our forefathers adopted the
Constitution, they placed the legislative
function in a Congress divided into two
branches, the Senate and the House of
Representatives by the people them
selves. That is the only place in the
Constitution, as originally agreed upon,
where the people had a direct voice and
vote in the selection of any Federal
official. Provision was made that the
legislature should select the Senators.
In the main, it wa intended that the
House Of Representatives, like the
House Of Commons, should represent
the people and that the Senate should
be elected from the wealthy, a%ristocra-
tic class, to represent the %aristocracy
This remained the fundamental law foi
more than a century when the people
amended the Constitution and provided
for the direct election OF Senators by
the people.
1t is worthy OF note in this connec-
ton that Great Britain, as her people
have become more democratic in theii
ideas Of government, las gradually
taken away from the House Of Lord:
most OF its legislative authority. II
1911 the House OF Lords was shorn o.
practically all its legislative functions
and today Great Britain, for all prac-
teal purposes, is operating under a un-
icameral or one-house legislature. L
is important therefore to observe tina
the pattern used by Il forefathers il
the formation of u government ha.
been abandoned by the mother country
We still adhere to the ancient form
while the substance of legislative au
] thority has been entirely changed b,
the country after which we modelled OH
Federal and state constitutions.

late February now, due to shortage Of
funds.
Talk is that the Democratic Party
will draft for its campaign film produce
ton such prominent movie Democrats
as Jack Warner, Winfield Sheehan,
Joseph Kennedy and Eddie Bowling.
How this will be done has not yet been
decided. But the party is said to fig
ure these people will more willingly
contribute their services than any vast
sums Of money for campaign purposes.
The Republicans, not to be outdone,
have already gotten Pathe News to re-
lease a series of Snapshots of promi-
nent possible choices for the Repub-
lican candidacy. They are moreover
attacking Roosevelt's popularity through
figures released concerning his radio
talks. According to figures adduced
by the New York Consolidated Gas
Co., and circulated by Republicans
there was a decrease in electric con-
sumption Of 10000 kilowatts during the
time Roosevelt held sway on both ma
ljor networks with his address to Con
gress. The Baer-Lewis fight, a very
popular feature, had accounted for an
increase of 10000 kilowatts.
Whether or not the Republican fig
ures are any true indication Of the
presidents popularity, it remains OBJ
vious that radio and films will play a
part in the 1886 campaign such as they
never have before.
