that you have got to get together effective legislation.

You have to dignify the office of representation in the

General Assembly, so that it will attractive to well-

educated and public-spirited people and, unless the

|
|
19
|
a while I felt that the unicameral legislature had too

|
20
|
many dangers, and one comment of Senator James was this

|
21
|
check and balance system, but from the short experience
