IS LEGISLATORS
WORK NEVER DONE?

Their chalrmen named, their member
ship filled and funds available, some 43
interim Legislative committees are loose
IN the state on special studies Of legiSla-
tlOn either proposed, deferred, defeated
or suggested, at the last session. Of these
committees % were authorized by the
assembly and IA by the senate.
How did these committees originate? :?
For the most part when d member de-
cided he needed to know more about
certain subject He then made his sug-
gestion for an interim committee, an ap-
preparation and then in the nature Of
things, became chairman Of the home
study committee. In few instances
tbs appointment Of the committees and
thc subject to be studied We're the spon-
taneous and unanimous sentiment Of the
whole assembly or the whole senate.
Some Of the subjects are Of major
inlportance some could as we'll have
been forgotten and few are among the
"die-hards' Legislative subjects debated
and defeated
Outstanding in importance is the in
trrim study Of super-eXpreSS highways.
In this instance a Joint resolution form
ed 4 Joint committee and the appropria-
tIOIl bI NIUD,OUU SIOulU insure Il carer vi,
comprehensive study and an intelligent
report tO the next session.
Much Of the state road program was
lett to future consideration, possibly at
4 special session. Pressing as is the need
for an expanded highway construction
program. it probably was wise that the
legislators decided to make the study
which now is getting under way. Event
uallv the program Will cost many mil
lions Of dollars and it should cover the
entire state in the best possible way.
Certainly this interim committee has
hard and responsible job. Well cOordi-
mated support should he given the mem
bers Of this group.
Health Insurance. the compulsory type
Of which suffered defeat at the last ses-
son. also is under study. Need for this
study exists in light Of the haphaZard,
expensive and un-American brand which
was proposed. fought for to the last ditch
and badly defeated.
Since the lawmakers saw fit to init
ate these more than two score special
studies and since the money has been set
aside for them it is best that everybody
lend all the assistance possible to the
Investigators.
