If a practice initiated by Senator Prohs in the conduct of his committee i.s a precedent, this se.ssion will have taken a long step backwards towards the very evil the iini- ameral was supposed to have brought to an end. Senator Prohs thought it up to help smother the watershed bill, and to do so in such a way that responsibility could not be fixed. Since the unicameral was started, it has been the to admit reporters to all committee sessions, including executive where, although honor-bound not to report the actual remarks and proceedings, they could serve as the unofficial eyes and ears. While they could not attribute what was and done in sessions to committee members individually, hey could write up the action in a general way, and of course they could see and hear for themselves whether a statements and actions jibed. Over the years this committee procedure, where nothing was done without the knowledge of the press, was widely acclaimed as in sharp contrast with the secret skulduggery of the old conference committee.

In the case of the watershed bill. Senator Prohs changed all this by the simple device of taking all committee votes on the bill by secret ballot. Since only the chairman looked at the ballots, to announce what he said was the result, only the chairman knew how any member of the committee voted. A senator might talk for the bill and vote against it, or vice versa, without either the or, in fact, the own colleagues on the committee, being any the wiser. The public can readily see that if the Prohs system were generally applied, it would be open to vicious abuse.

An unscrupulous committee chairman could announce any result he pleased. The members of his committee might not suspect anything remiss until they got to visiting afterwards. Even then they could only each would suspect the other of two-timing. In any event, it is a system that enables the Inhhyista trha could not be in the open to get in their licks behind the. scenes.

In the ease the watershed hill it enabled just that; it played into the hands of Senators illiams and Hern, committee trho had made no secret of their opposition to the hill eren though they did not attend the hearing; and it prevented a measure with tridespread public support from getting full consideration hy the committee, or any consideration by the legislature as a tchfde.

LATTA. V8. Kids the many young people who are raising families in Lincoln do not bestir themselves, they are likely to take a licking at the polls come May day. Rather, I mean their little kids who are swarming all over the many new additions in this city will fake a licking. It is really amazing to see the flocks of little tykes that are sprouting up in these new sections of the city.

One need to follow the carefully prepared graphs of Superintendent Watkins to believe! that our schools are going to be increasingly crowded in the years: to come. The parents of these i little kids are too busy finding shoes and food for them to give the attention to their education that the matter really deserves. If the fathers and mothers of these kids would examine the dollars in bonds issued since! Fifth, if the bonds are voted down, as they probably will be, a broadly representative should be organized to consider the critical financial needs of both city and school district, and formulate practical realistic proposals for relief. These proposals should be submitted to the voters at an early special election, and their meaning and importance explained and adoption urged by a thoroughly organized campaign committee, L. E.

AYLSWORTH Time lo Hall is time our officers and legislators consider the times. How can a man with family meet expenses with increasing taxes and the raising of salaries of every man in office and now a six million dollar -school building? I say it is time to halt our spending before our country is bankrupt. ELIZABETH.
