SHOWING LAW DISAPPROVAL
The charge Is being; made by the'drys that the wets
would like to build up public opinion so as to make the Con
stitution a dead letter, "not repeal it, but disregard it." Re
ferring to the question of popular opinion regarding consti
tutional provisions, a periodical makes. the following editorial
comment: .
. .;.. .-...'
"We are in full accord with the proposition that as
,: long as a law remains a law it should be enforced and
obeyed, and that the way to treat an unjust, obnoxious
or unpopular law is to repeal it. But how are we to know
' that a law .is unpopular, undesirable, (unwise or unjust 1
until we hear the popular voice regarding it? i And is it
-not most likely that popular disapproval will .lie .shown
! i most effectively by disregard for the law iiv question
; before it can be repealed?; It,is not proposed to build up
" a body of public opinion on the effect that any part of the '
Constitution should be disregarded, but to show that a
Iwdy of such opinion exists large enough to -'warrant the
.y , , Tli ere is no question about disapproval' of a law being
shown "most effectively by disregard. But disapproval and
disregard are two different things
while holding to the belief that the law is unjust and unfair;
the other implies disobedience as a means of expressing that
belief. One means observance and the other non-observance
of existing law the difference between civilized, or
ganized government and chaos if carried, to the extreme in
all individual cases.
No one is going to sny that all laws and all constitutional
provisions are right and just and necessary. , Experience
with the state legislatures and national congresses convince
almost anyone that mistakes in law making are about the
easiest things made in a democratic nation." But the founda
tion of all government, whether it be horribly poor or happily
perfect, must include the element of law observance. When
poorest and most unpopular, the opportunity for correction
lies not in disregard of law with nttendant violation but in
disapproval while complying with, the obnoxious provisions.
. If the people of La Grande, for example, disapprove of
the ordinance providing stop streets (which we are sure they
do not), can they get the traffic law changed most effectively
and quickly by disregarding the "stop" signs and setting up
their own rules of traffic regulation? Or can they accom
plish the change by continuing to observe the law but reg
istering protests in a dignified, law-abiding manner and by
seeking to convince others that a change would be generally
lienef icial ? Highwaymen probably disapprove of the laws
against robbery. Their disapproval is best shown by their
disregard. But do we find any great popular movement 'un
der way to change the law and give them free access lo the
wealth and property of others? i
Disregard of law will not, we are afraid, help build public
opiuion in favor of the repeal of that law. It constitutes evi
dence of disapproval but not the kind of cvideuco that re
sults in betterment.
