Martin Cites Need lor 2-House System State GOP Chairman Talks Here ofr-h»eMMurti?’ state chairman ot he Nebraska republican cen is , ,^mmittee- says a movement is under way supported by re publicans and democrats alike for the return of a partisan, two house legislature for Nebraska. bpeaking before a group at the «<?U5thoi!Se assembly in O’Neill Wednesday night, November 25, Martin said, “Petitions are now being circulated in the state to get 65,000 signatures for placing on the ballot next year the prop osition of a partisan, two-house legislature.” • Martin named as one reason for a partisan legislature the liick of responsibility on the part of the present legislators. “These men are not elected on any. platform and do not stand for anything in particular. If elected on a partisan basis, both parties set forth very clearly the platform, and anyone elected to - the legislature on a partisan basis, is bound by that platform,” hi declared. With regard to the proposed two-house system, Martin add ed: “In the proposed basis of change in the legislature, we have followed the national gov ernment with a senate composed of members elected on a geo graphic basis and the lower house fleeted on a population basis. In th£ senate, outstate counties such * as Holt are going to have more representaion than ever before.” In conclusion, Martin told the group that an increased member . ship in a two-house system will help control the lobby influence upon the legislature, with the statement, “When you have a two - house system where both houses have to pass upon legis lation, the lobbyists’ power of persuasion is going to be curtail ed. This is the most important feature of the two-house sysem,” he concluded. John O’Neill, chairman of the Holt Young Republican club, presided. Only a small handful of young and adult republicans heard Martin’s talk.
