Points he made for the uni cameral: The low number of senators (43) makes it easy, Matkze de clared, to fix responsibility, pro vides for less bickering, more unity, a better informed senate, and he notes that each senator can watch the others more close ly than in large body. He points out the governor cannot dictate to the present senate and there are no patisan obligations. It was Matzke’s considered opinion that the lobby influence in Nebraska was “about as bad in the days of the two-house system as under the unicameral system now.” A point he stressed discredit ing the unicameral included: Representation is out of pro portion. Twenty-three counties out of 93 can produce 21 senatj votes enough to assure passage of legislation). The district m which O’Neill is located, for ex ample, embraces four counties— Holt, Rock, Boyd and Keya Paha. • * * Hanson The Wyoming rancher, wb *se mother was an O’Neillite, was the most appealing and impressive speaker of the lot and he ripped into government price supports —a subject he knew very well. Hanson said it’s “just a question of time when the American pub lic will react to the entire price support idea—the policy of mak ing artificially high prices f ir food products.” Hanson’s rough-hewn, western appearance belied oratorical abil ity. Few in the audience knew he had been a member of the Wyoming legislature. Several reporters questioned whether Hanson had written and pre pared his own speech, but The Frontier learned through rela tives here it was Hanson’s own handiwork he has studied for a number of years. (See editorial on page 2 for de tails of Hanson’s talk.) * * * Rohlwing As a representative of the American Meat Institute, Mr Rohlwing’s job is to stimulate meat consumption. He carried the promotion message to the stock growers because, as he pul it, “it’s an education job that we must carry to every segment ol the people in our country.” He pointed out the Institute has purchased full-page adver tisements in several publications, booklets have been prepared for consumer groups, and money is being spent to teach beef cutting and beef preparation for home economics students in the na tion’s high schools. The Institute, Rohlwing said, works with all consumer groups at the slightest opportunity to stress the “eat beef story.” • • • Dance Cancelled The snow that whipped intc northern Nebraska late Wednes day, December 2, and continued throughout Thursday limited at tendance sharply and strand all present overnight. H. J. Lohaus presided at the evening banquet which was held at the American Legion auditori um and served by the Legion auxiliary. The program was in formal due to the fact the fea tured speaker, Mr. Bahmeier, could not be present.

A dance featuring the Aces of Rhythm orchestra, intended to climax the meeting, was cancel leded because of the storm. ■•, Real Estate, Insurance and Bonds GEO. C. ROBERTSON O’Neill, Nebr.
