san to a partisan basis.
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. All persons
negotiating the distance to the
Legion auditorium from hotels,
motels and private homes had
to make the journey afoot be
cause of the snow.
A dance featuring the Aces of
Rhythm orchestra, intended to
climax the meeting, was cancel
leded because of the storm.
