Did the movement for a one,

@eesions?
The question is exceedingly pert-ipent at this time, as reportsqurrent that an effort. will

At first glance, the fact that such

to indicate that he ‘Unicameral -SYStem is gaining new support and ‘has
made definite headway. -On the othinquiry develops that anoxt

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

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,

In rural counties, the ex™ression

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.

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

sales tax, for example, would have
shunted a heavier burden onto the

taxnayers.
The senate, on the other hand—
althouch the most progressive and
