Hie Law Making Race
The new race in Amegic* U between l*ws and
antomcbile8. There are 1,0OQ/MX) law« nqw on oar
statute books, Merle Thorpe, editor of the Nation’a
Business, reveals in the current issu e of Oollier’s
Weekly, and these are bein£ increased on a mass
produotion basis.
“ Ninety per cent of legislation proposed has to
do with business,” he say«» “ A shoe dealer, an in­
telligent, thinking man in a Middle-West city, asks
my support in 'getting a law passed .to limit styles
of shoes.
“ ‘The curse of the shoe business’, ” says he ‘is
snddeq style changes,
“ Me suggests a law forbidding aqy shoe manu­
facturer to have more than four selling seasons a
year and more than fifty styles to show in any line
of shoes.”
»
“ The Texas State Commission of Agriculture
proposes a law which would prohibit Texas cotton
farmem from working more than eight hours, from
breaking land with a tractor, plowing with a culti­
vator, or picking in any other way than by the hu­
man hand.”
“ In the* Government'Printing Office repose 17
tones of type metal, composing a Codification of
United States laws, hut Congress fears to authorise
printing because it would be incomplete before it
could eome from the lander.”
“ If a New York policeman read rapidly aad
steadily eight hours a day all the laws with which he
is required to be familiar, it would take him over
seven weeks to read them alL”
A < mild relief measure to this urge to law­
making, Thorpe proposes that one general law might
be passed making it obligatory on aay legislator,
state or federal, introducing a new law, to provide
in it for the repeal of some already existing law»
