' ' :, : ? . : .; Most of the adverse fcriticism directed at tho legislature during its specified 40-day period was to the effect that nothing was being accomplished. That was true, and news papers, all over the state emphasized the importance of action particularly on the tax program. NForty days of argument and discussion without producing anything constructive was deserving of criticism. Bu the last and extra ten days the legislature got down to business.. It passed, a lot of important legislation and finally provided thri raws that hrid been urged by the state press (in general) 'fliid by the special property tax relief commission as a way out of tax chaos. ; .; With that accomplishment ,ta, Us credit, the legislature was generally and properly praised as' one of the most con structive in the last generation;.- In spite of the fact that some things were passed or turneddown very hastily' during the Inst week pf the session, that stands out as the most im portant period in many legislative gatherings. Then the leg islators deserved praise and commendation and got it, just as they deserved and received considerable condemnation in the earlier days of the assembly. , It might be futile, of course, to say that perhaps tho early criticism had something to do with the late constructive ac tion, but it is no less futile than to say that legislators didn't pay any attention to what the press said about them. They puy a great deal of attention to what is said about them, especially if it isn't favorable. ,. It is true that neither tho newspapers nor the general citizenship of the state can know all that is going on during a legislative session. They haven't the time nor inclination to be bothered with specific details in most cases.' But they can, on tno other hand, tell quite definitely about the prog rebii being made or the luck of it. And recognizing that lack, pointing to it, urging its correction is part of the duty o t.ood citizenship and tends, incidentally, to promote con btiuclive action. ' ' ' Individual legislators are often not guilty of the very tl.ing with which the whole body is justly charged. They i.i..y be working, most diligently along constructive and. pro gressive linos, with a very clear understanding of existing needs.: They may bo spending hour after hour in committee sessions convincing their muddle-headed colleagues of the need for direct, intelligent acliun. We happen to know that some of our own delegation were set right and working right from the start. But a legislature, and its work, is known by its majorities, not its minorities.' Results are the things that count. And in this particular session both the results and tho majorities turned out to be, on the whole, very satis fying. They wore not, however, at the end of 40 days.
