ONE HOUSE LEGISLATURE
(Ketchikan Chronicle)
Recent news dispatches say
Delegate Dimond's bill to give
the people of Alaska an oppor
tunity to declare whether or not
they want a one-house legisla
ture has gone to the White House.
Once a law’, the matter will go
on the ballot for the 1938 election.
Meanwhile, the voters will have
plenty of time to think about t.
j The only example of a one
house legislature is to be found in
Nebraska. There it was urged for
years by Senator Norris, author
of the lame duck amendment to
the constitution and an outstand
ing student of government, the
jNieibrastka one-house Brrfslature
has met once. Experts have stud
ied its record, compared it with
the record of the previous two
house legislature, and reached
various conclusions, or no con
clusions at all.
Theoretically, there is no ques
tion but that a one-house legis
lature sounds good. It eliminates
a lot of back-scratching, elimin
ates salaries, and simplifies the
general legislative procedure.
But its very simplification of the
legislative procedure makes eas
ier the task of getting a law pass
cd.
Other factors must be consid
ered: how many members should
a one-house legislature have to
make it most efficient and yet
safe from panic or pressure? How
often should the members be el
ected?Shou!d all members be el
ected at once? or should half be
elected every two years?
But in Alaska the problem go
es even deeper than the simple
question of whether we shall have
a one-house legislature or a two
house legislature. The entire bas
is of our present legislative set
up is a peculiar and inflexible
one. Suppose the Territory were
to double in population. We still
would have an unchanged legis
lature except in personnel. Their
numbers would be the same. Or
suppose that the First Division
trebled in population, the Second
division remaining unchanged.
Then we still should have the
same representation in the legis
lature from the First as from
the Second.
It is generally considered pol
itical dynamite to encourage a
change in the organic act of con
gress by which we could create
a legislature modeled after those
of the states. So, instead, we hear
talk of a one-house legislature

which presumably would be en
trenched just as inflexibly as our
present two-house legislature.
Of course, the referendum
would merely express the peo
ple's choice. Once that were es
tablished, the delegate could
press for action in congress if
that were the people’s will, or he
could drop the whole question if
that were the people’s will.
