LawsAreSoNumerous

By GEORGE B CORTELYOU. formerly
Secretary of the Treasury
«I
1IATEVER may lie the reason, law
with us is not held in ns high regard
ns it should be. I do not mean sim­
ply law in its narrow sense, as the
punishment, of petty offenses or the mere rou­
tine administration of justice, essential as both
are, but I mean law in the BROAD SENSE
of general and willing conformity to the well
settled teachings of our experience as embodied III those rules which
have been established for the regulation of our social and industrial
relations.
It must be admitted that the somewhat, lax attitude of our people
toward law in certain of its aspects is NO'l WHOLLY WI l’HOU 1
CAUSE, and. though this cannot Lie excused, it can at least be par­
tially explained by the wav in which many of our laws are made.
Along with obedience to law must, go wisdom and moderation in the
making of law.
But it too o ften happens that laws are PASSED IN A HASTY
AND SLOVENLY MANNER, with no proper study or considera­
tion and with little or no thought for their effect on the general wel­
fare.

When this process has gone on for a considerable time RESPECT
FOR ALL LAW IS IN DANGER OF BEING WEAKENED. So,
while we appeal fora FULLER AND MORE THOROUGH OBE­
DIENCE TO LAW, we must couple with it. nn appeal for more
antic and conservative and patriotic methods in the making of laws, for
MORE SIMPLICITY in their construction, fora material reduction
in their number and for the highest standard of ability and integrity
in our judiciary.
