_@uent deadlocks between er hand, 3 grams and many leg islative proposmeu HOUSE LEGISLATURE? By RALPH H. TAYLOR . Did the movement for a one, heuse legislature in California gain fmpetus, or lose ground, as a result a ‘the partisan bickering and frethe two ipsisiative houses — the 1937 @eesions? The question is exceedingly pert-ipent at this time, as reportsqurrent that an effort. will to submit an initjative ac sto 4 fornia voters at the next “general election, designed to, establish a onehouse legislature. { At first glance, the fact that such @ move is contemplated would seem to indicate that he ‘Unicameral -SYStem is gaining new support and ‘has made definite headway. -On the othinquiry develops that anoxt of the new support for the scheme gomes from leftist ~ groups awnicn were’ unsnecessful im) jamming @hrough rafal and experimes}al legislative proposals during the séssion just drawing toa Close. SBS The other side of the -picture is that trends during the 1937 session ; revealed the inherent weaknesses ina one-house legislature system for a State such as California, where the single house would be dominated: and controlled by two or three large cities s, with rural and agricultural. areas Ajorfed effoetive renresentas . tion. And although the nied oval . plan donhtless gained new recruits from citv maleontents. opposition ue the plan from taxpayirg grouns. tar-. mers and rural districts has generally increased. if the plan is submitted to vote of the people, ft is possible that the almost unanimous disapproval of rural: areas, combined with the vote of city! taxpayers, fearful of letting down: the bars to extravagant spending and . legislative experimentation, would, He: sufficient to insure its defeat, al-. though ‘such a campaign would un-! doubtedly precipitate one of the hot-. Nevada City with his parents, Dr. test political battles in many vears. In rural counties, the ex™ression has ‘been commonly heard during resent months, ‘Thank God for the, Senate!” Such exclamations followed . defeat in the senate of millions of dollars worth of special appropria. is of the “pork barrel’’ variety, i rejection of one-sided Wrhar. . sr7als which were more visionary than @ractical. Yet it is unfair to con. demn all assemblymen as dthrifts or radicals. Some of agriculture’s finest champions were in the assembly, but the fact remains that on many issues tne e'tycontrolled assemb!y swept like a steam roller over the wishes-and desires of the minority members from rural districts. “Indicating the vital need of twe) live and sympathetic to the problems } ES, either .# legislative houses, with one res"onsof the producing areas, the assembly . (dominantly urban in its membership) evidenced the following unmistakable tendencies: First, unquestion‘ng. approval of anything. which earried the approval of organized labor, regardless of cost, need, fairness of workability. Second, a lavish hand in providing for the unfortunthe unemployed and indigent. without regard to that other “forgotten man’’—the fellow who pays the ADD PEOPLE Or n‘}is, Third, a disposition to cut city tax bills at the expense of _ rural areas. Repeal or reduction of the sales tax, for example, would have shunted a heavier burden onto the “armer and’ dther common proper‘y taxnayers. The senate, on the other hand— althouch the most progressive and liberal-upper house in many years— was more responsive to farmers and other producing groups, which -create he state’s wealth and «share the heaviest part of the. burden.of making the wheels go ’round.
