" Perhaps as long as Nebraskans are thinking about changes they should give some thought to changes in legislative pro cedure not particularly in changing from a one-house back to the two-house system, but perhaps in terms of giving the state legislator the status cf a professional in government rather than that of a part-time, under-paid job holder. Currently, legislators receive $1,744 per biennium, wrhether there is a special session or not. Most legislators feel that salary just about meets their expenses for a regular session. They re ceive no allowances, meals 1 or room, for special sessions. They pay such costs out of their owm pocket and, furthermore, if they are self-employed lose at least some time and income from their business or profession. Just as a suggestion for Ne braskans to think about and dis cuss not as a recommendation either of this columnist or his employer, w7e offer the following for your consideration. That members of the Nebras ka state legislature be put on an annual salary or per diem basis of sufficient amount to encour age full and adequate attention to state problems in regular sessions or special sessions with out being concerned about "rushing back to the job at home". A number of Nebraska prob lems have been created in re cent years by the reluctance of legislators late in the regular session to take adequate time to consider measures brought be fore them. On the other hand, highly desirable legislation has been "killed" because legisla tors, concerned with their busi nesses and professions, have "been in a hurry to get home." Again warning that this is only a suggestion for Nebras kans to discuss, it appears that Nebraskans in their zeal to econ omize and keep the costs of government down may be in some cases "penny-wise and pound foolish". Perhaps it would be one of the best invest ments ever made by Nebraska taxpayers to add a fewr thous and dollars to legislative salar ies or to provision for an ade quate per diem allowance so that legislators wouiu oe en couraged to give more adequate consideration to the problems of the state in regular sessions, ; making special sessions rarities rather than common place. Why not think about, discuss the possibilities of giving our state legislators a professional pay scale so long as we're talk ing about catching up with state problems?
