One House Legislature VVouia
«—'
Give Us Fewer and
Better Laws
Composed
of
Sixteen
Members
By GEORGE H.
HODGES
Elected
on
Nonpartisan
Ballot
Governor of
Kansas
THE session laws of Kansas for 1013 is a book of 591 pages and eon
tains 3TG laws and resolutions. The legislature was in session forty
nine days, consequently something like seven laws passed
houses each day.
It is hardly possible for a member to read SEVEN ENACTMENTS
A DAY, and it is an impossibility for him to comprehend and under
stand them.
One of the stock arguments in favor of the bicameral system is that
the second chamber is a valuable check on bad legislation because there
are two bodies through which the bill must pass. From personal leg:Na
tive experience I know how FARCICAL this contention is.
I proposed to the Kansas legislature the substitution for the pre it
svstem of a ONE HOUSE LEGISLATURE, CONSISTING OF ,\ T
TO EXCEED SIXTEEN MEMBERS. One-half of them might e
elected from districts and one-half of them at large, or they might all
be nominated bv districts and elected at large, with PROVISIONS Fi<R
RECALL AND THE INITIATIVE AND RElTiiKXHrM. These
legislators should be elected for TERMS OF FOUR YEARS EACH,
with provision for expiration in rotation in order to secure stability and
experience.
I further believe that these legislator* should be nominated and
elected upon a NONPARTISAN BALLOT.
IN MY JUDGMENT SUCH A LEGISLATURE AS I AM ADVOCAT
ING WOULD GIVE US FEWER BUT BETTER LAWS: IT WOULD GIVE j
US LAWS THAT NEED LESS INTERPRETATION FROM THE COURTS j
AND ACCORDINGLY GIVE US LES3 LITIGATION. IT WOULD BEi
REPRESENTATIVE.
