Most of the onlookers believe good legislation depends upon the In telligence nnd tho honesty of the legis lators rather than the system. ChnnnrlnH: the .System. Norton's resolution Is as follows: "Whereas, Present legislative methods and procedure In Nebraska are In many respects Inadequate, expensive and Incon venient; nnd, "Whereas, Somo Illustrations of thlB truth may be found In these facts: "Nebraska still continues engrossing and enrolling bills by hand, Instead of UBlng the typewriter nnd printing press; "Nebrnska still uses a form of printed bill which falls to show on its face the parts omitted from the old ptntutes and the new parts which it Is proposed to Incorporate therein; "Nebraska still maintains the old cus tom of keeping a manuscript Journal, whoeo reading Is uniformly dispensed with nnd whose contents are unknown until printed months after adjournment. Instead of a printed dnlly Journal placed upon euch member's desk on tho morning of the dny following the events which It records, enabling the record to be criti cised and corrected while still fresh In tho minds of every member; "In Nebraska, as In many other states, tho number of bills Introduced Is beyond the capacity of the legislature to con elder, and duplicate bills here, as else where, aro Introduced, Involving unneces sary time' and expense; Too Cumbersome Procedure. "In Nebraska the legislative committees are too large or too many, preventing full attendance when Important measures aro considered nnd careful committee worki the house nnd senate committees do not meet together and days of delay In the legislative business nrlse from threshing over the same straw In the committees of both houses; committees meet at night, when members are weary from the dny's session, Instead of In the rorenoon ns is the practice In some states; the work of the sifting committee Is unsatisfactory and there Is no def' Inltc progrnm adopted early In the ses sion; resolutions, many of them unimpor tant and Irrelevant, block business for days at a time; the rules respecting com mittees nnd general procedure need fur ther revision. "In Nebraska, as In' many other states, tho number and the kind of employes is largely determined, not by the amount and kind of work to be done, but by the Importunity of persons desiring to be placed on the legislative payroll. Lurk IliiilKet Sjnteiu, "Nebraska, like other rtates, lacks an efficient budget system for bringing to gether In condensed form a statement of the annual production of wealth, the state's receipts and expenditures, tho sources of Income anil estimates of outgo and tho ratio of public expenditure to wealth and population for public discus sion and Intelligent criticism prior to the meeting of tho legislature, and, ' Whereas, Reform In these matters as well as many others not enumerated, will save the state many thousands of dollars, onablo the legislature to act more Intelli gently nnd directly and be In line with the general movement for social effi ciency now In progress In nil civilized states; therefore, be It Would Mnke Stnilr.
