Nebraska Unicameral
Legislature Attacked
By JAMES
Steps are being taken in Ne
braska to abolish that state'i
unicameral Legislature and re
turn to a two-house body. The
one-house legislature has been in
operation in Nebraska for 16
years with sessions held bien
nially. William H. O'Gara, who served
In the Legislature in Nebraska
from 1921 to 1938 told Earl C.

examination for elimination in the
conference room on Jan. 15.
Mary Olson will represent Keizer
school in the district contest. Lynn
Conklin placed second and Carol
Harland third. Runnersup were
Stephen Billings, Lynda Lawrence,
Charles Johnson and Sally Cook.
The 7th grade boys of Keizer
school basketball team defeated
Brooks in a game played in the
Keizer gym last week.
Campaigning is now underway
at Keizer school by contestant
for the student council. Posters
are in the halls proclaiming each
contestant.

Friday night when she grabbed a

D. OLSON
San Francisco Chronicle, that
signatures are now being ob
tained on an initiative petition
to place the question of return
ing to the two house Legislature
at the November general elec
tion. No other state in the nation
has a unicameral system. Ver
mont tried the plan early in the
last century, but abolished it in
183B.
O'Gara served 12 years as
Democratic minority leader in
the House of Representatives
when Nebraska had a two-house
system and was Speaker of the
House at the 1933 session.
Present members of the Legis
lature do not want a change,
O'Gara said, but be believes the
people will take a different view
if they are given an opportunity
to vote on the mutter.
The unicameral system, ap
proved by the voters in Nebras
ka in 1934, was set up by the
1935 Legislature and came into
being at the 1937 session.
The new proposal, O'Gara said,
is to establish a House of Repre
sentatives of not less than 80 or
more than 100 members and a
Senate of not less than 30 or
more than 40 members.
Oregon lawmakers will be in
terested to learn that the pay
for' the Nebraska legislators in
the proposed initiative, would be
$20 per day "for each day in
actu.il attendance, but in no case
shall the compensation exceed
the sum of $1500." Compensation
for attendance at special session
is limited to $200.
Oregon legislators ' are paid
$600 a year plus mileage to and
from sessions.
O'Gara told Behrens these is
no partv responsibility and nres
sure grouns dictate nolicies of
the one-house legislature.
"The greatest fault of the uni
cameral system," O'Gara said, "is
its lack of checks and balances.
Unfortunately, the bicameral
with its checks and balances, -was
discarded In Nebraska, when
what was needed was improve
ment. The present plan is gen
erallv conceded to be unsatisfac
tory."
O'Gara said that many flaws
in laws passed in the one-house
legislature would have been
avoided if the legislation had
required approval by two houses
of the Legislature.

Veterans Get
First Chance
Veterans of World War II and
subsequent military duty have
first priority in the acquisition of
82 farm units being opened by the
bureau ot reclamation in the South
Columbia basin irrigation project
in Washington, it was reported
today by the Oregon Department
of Veterans' Affairs.
To receive priority, veterans
must apply to the bureau of recla
mation offices at Ephrata, Wash.,
by February 19, 1954. Their mili
tary service must have been be
tween September 16, 1940, and July
3, 1952.
To qualify, a veteran must have
had two full years of farming ex
perience since age IS and must
have assets of $4,500 in excess of
liabilities.
The 82 farm units range in size
from 49 to 148 irrigable acres and
in price from $1,189 to $4,880, with
most of them listed between $1,500
and $2,000. -
The farms are located about 15
miles north of Pasco and 130 miles
southwest of Spokane. The bureau
of reclamation expects to deliver
the first water from the Grand
Coulee canal system to the farm
unit in 1955.
Application forms may be ob
tained from county veterans' ser
vice officers, from the state vet
erans' department in Salem or
Portland, or by writing to the rec
lamation office in Ephrata, Wash.
Pamphlets Published
About Civil Rights
Nine new pamphlets on civil
rights subjects went out this week
from the Oregon Bureauvof Labor
to each of 10 school and public
iioranes in Marion County.
Forty-two pieces of such litera
ture have now been made avail
able by the labor department in
its Intergroup Relations Resource
Book to 250 libraries throughout
the .state.
The resource information is
kept curent as part of the educa
tional program conducted under
the State Fair Employment Prac
tices Act which prohibits job dis
crimination because of race, creed,
color or national origin.
W. S. Van Meter, director of
the program, states that Marion
County with only five percent
of non-whites in its population,
also has its. religious and national
minorities as does ever- section
of Oregon. The program hopes to
enlist the aid of every communi
ty in abolishing prejudices to
ward all minority groups.
A study of state legislation on
fair employment practices shows
that Oregon is one of the nine
states having truly enforceable
FEP laws.

Construction of the proposed

adjacent to the state fair grounds

said that during that time the
inmates could be locked up but
could maintain and rehabilitate
the fair grounds and buildings
during the remainder of the year.
"With the talent that probably
would be available," Hatfield
said in his letter, "under proper
direction, the state fair grounds
could well become even more of
a beauty spot and even more
functional than it is now."
Other than building and
grounds maintenance Hatfield
suggested that vegetable gardens
and small orchards could be de
veloped in the future on this site
to help sustain the institution.
"If this is properly done in co
operation with the state depart
ment of agriculture and Oregon
State college," he added, "these
projects could well become val
uable demonstration areas at the
same time cut institutional costs."
Hatfield was frank that his
plan might prove impractical,
stating that he was throwing out
the idea "without consulting any
one." "Should that prove so after a
fair trial, the building could well
serve . for state fair purposes
alone, as a 4-H dormitory, ex
hibit building or as an annex for
one of our other state institu
tions" Hatfield was chairman of the
house committee on state and
federal affairs in the 1953 ses
sion, his second in the legisla
ture. He is a professor of politi
cal science and dean of students
at Willamette university.

Women Lead
Amonn Dolors
Women are leading the men by
a ratio of almost two to one in
Willamette University students'
contributions to the "challenge
fund," according to latest tabula
tions by Kent Holmes, general
manager for the effort.
The students are endeavoring to
raise $10,000 to be turned into the
general challenge fund of a half
million dollars. Contributions to
date have passed the $2500 mark
and renewed efforts will be made
to secure $5000 by mid-February. .
Two Wilalmette University bene
factors, whose names have not
been revealed, each gave $250,000
providing an additional $500,000
could be secured, The money is
to be used in the construction of a
woman's dormitory and a combin
ed fine arts and auditorium build
ing. The level of the Caspian Sea
is controlled largely by evapora
tion and there have been large,
irregular variations in its level
in historical times.
