RECOVERY IN MORALE
(New York Times)
By a consensus of opinion and resolution, it would seem
that Americans have determined to make an end of the de
pression quickly and entirely. Chambers of Commerce and
other business organizations have agreed to unite forces for
this end. Banks are pledging their fullest co-operation to
the government.
On its side, the government has promised to cast aside
every weight and the monetary sins that do so easily beset it,
so as to give added confidence and strength to this expression
of the national will. It is an extraordinary change to have
come so suddenly over the spirit of the country’s dream.
One reason why there has seemed to be a delay in com
ing to the present unison of belief is that the time was not
ripe for it. Too many obstacles in the form of disturbing
legislation and projected measures and rumors of the un
favorable attitude of the administration have long stood in
the way of this union of hearts and purposes.
But now everything seems to poiftt to a clear field for
co-operation and hopeful activity, so that people in all parts
of the land feel that times are getting better, and that they
will soon be much better, provided every citizen and every
agency of the government put their backs and their wills in
to the work of recovery.
It may be said that these recent demonstrations have al
ready wrought one form of recovery. It is the recovery of
morale. When people feel better, they are better. If a new
spirit of hopefulness spreads through many minds, it rapid
ly becomes infectious. One man catches it from his neighbor.
One business gives it to another.
The thing has to be classed with the intangibles, but its
reality is not in doubt. No one can strike his hand upon all
the causes that are making for a more tonic and optimistic
public sentiment, but they are there just the same. They
do not, of course, guarantee that everything will at once be
rose-colored that there will be no further business or finan
cial set-backs. But the new and brighter morale is already
visible and increasing. It perhaps is the most telling proof
we have that recovery is under way.

NEBRASKA’S DECISION
(Cincinnati Enquirer.)
One of the most important decisions made in the elec
tions was that of the voters of Nebraska to establish a single
chamber Legislature. While it was overshadowed in the
news by the toppling of Senatorial giants and the sweeping
Democratic vote throughout the country, the Nebraska poll
authorizes very drastic departures from Amercian practice,
in a field where inefficiency will not become effective until
1937, but its definite approval may meantime stimulate the
movement for the single chamber Legislature in Ohio and
other States. -
As approved by a majority of 85,000 votes, the Nebras
ka plan calls for a State Legislature of one chamber of 30
to 50 members, elected from districts on a non-partisan tick

et. Thus it embodies the essential principle which Cincin
nati has used in municipal affairs since 1926 in the small
council. This small State Legislature replaces a two-cham
ber body of 33 Senators and 100 Representatives, typical of
State legislative machinery.
Nebraska’s plan is probably a more extreme depart^
ure from the usual State Government than would find fav
or in most States. The abandonment of party columns on
the ballot would meet too much opposition to warrant its
consideration for the present in Ohio or a similarly political
ly-minded commonwealth.
It is often said that the States of the Union are labora
tories for the Nation. Nebraska is demonstrating this fact
anew by a complete remodeling of her legislative system.
The results, although they will not be evident for some
time, will be of surpassing interest in many regions, because
it is dawning on great numbers of citizens that the process
of legislation in the States is sadly behind the times.
