worked effectively and efficiently. The proposed amend-
ment does only one thing, as I see it: It provides a
ceiling, it shall not exceed the present legislature.
But if it will make the people from the rural areas
happier, if it will protect their interests to a fairly
logical and legitimate extent, I frankly would much rather
see the compromise of this number than to have people
going away unhappy, feeling they have been slighted.
I frankly don't think the. argument in favor of
a more efficient operation carries nearly as much weight
when there is only a difference of approximately 45 in the
entire group. I would therefore vote against it.
THE CHAIRMAN: Any delegate desire to speak in
opposition?
Delegate Scanlan.
DELEGATE SCANLAN: I am against this amendment.
If the Gilchrist compromise was not a good amendment -- and
by a majority the delegates have indicated it was not --
this one is far worse. I will not repeat the arguments
against the amendment made by Chairman Gallagher. The
Gilchrist amendment at least had some flexibility to it. |
