'simplifying state govern
ment.
The question of simplifying the ma
chinery of state government is engag
ing some attention in the West,
where new ideas receive greater con
sideration than in the more conserv
ative East. . > , i
The slate of Oregon is to vote in
November on a plan to establish a
legislature composed of a single
house of fifty members. It is pop
ularly referred to as a plan to abolish
ilie senate, though why the senate
should be abolished in preference to
the house, in case a smaller and
better selected legislative body is
desired, is not apparent.
Governor Hodges of Kansas is in
favor of what he calls a “shortened
legislature," and has advocated the
idea energetically since he has occu
pied the executive office. His legis
lature would be smaller in number
than the proposed house in Oregon.
If would be composed of represen
tatives from the various congression
al districts, according to outlines of
the plan that have been published
and would be in continuous session.
In Colorado a vote will be taken
in November on a plan of commis
sion state government, said to have
been originated by Judge Ben Lind-,
sey, of Denver. The short ballot is
one feature of this plan. The gov
ernor would be the only elective state
officer and would appoint a cabinet
somewhat similar to that named by
the president of the United States.
The laws would be made by a sen
ate composed of eighteen or twenty
members. The governor would have
vastly greater power, but would be
subject to recall.
Legislative bodies as at present
constituted are unwieldly and the
outcome in legislation is generally
unsatisfactory. They are made up
largely of inexperienced men and the
sessions are so short that a new
member scarcely gets his bearings
before he must give way for another
new member. Whether a similar body
would be composed of better mater
ial and do better work is at least a
debatable question.—Ex.
