By ED BURCHFIEL
Co-Publisher, Pauls Valley

The constitution of the Unit-
ed States has long been regard-
ed as the finest document ever
produced by the government of
free and independent people.
With the U. S Congress plan
in mind, Oklahoma's lawmak-
ers prepared the fair represen-
tation plan found in State Ques-
tion 416. S. Q 416 is so much
like the United States appor-

In S Q. 416. neither house is
based on population; less than
one-fourth of the people of the
state could elect a majority of
the members of the senate, and
less than one-third a majority
of the house.
The bicameral system set up
in our state constitution pro-
vides for a senate based on pop-
ulation, with four-year terms
for its members and with cer-
tain responsibilities such as
confirmation of appointments,
etc , reserved to the senate.
The house membership is
based partly on population,
with a limit of seven members
for the more populous counties.
Terms of house members are
two years (thus making them
more directly reponsible to the
people', and all appropriations
measures must originate in the

Such a system, with its
checks and balances, is a bas-
ically sound one, and should
not be discarded for a plan
which purports to do that
which should not be done—
namely, set up a "Little Con-
gress Plan"—and then fails in
even this abortive endeavour
The people of Oklahoma
should reject S Q 416.
