OUR BIENNIAL MADNESS
Assailed on all sides the legislature struggles on in its wrestle
with the problems of the state. Forty days, forty-five days and
perhaps on up to sixty days the bout continues and still the. prob
lems of state have all the honors without the legislature making
■
good competition
‘ Questions regarding the election of national committeeman
and woman, the changing of the names of cemetery associations
and speeding-up work of circuit courts (as if the legislators could
give any advice on that subject) have been considered. Perhaps it
it is unfair to comment unfavorably about the lack of public dis
cussion of the really important measures. Surely these matters
have been before committee after committee in many forms but
there is no one with*a complete program that the many bills can
be made to fit and therefore delay and waiting is still the fare of
the solons
It will have to end sometime for the businesses of legistators
will need them and $120 cannot be made to stretch many days
past the regular forty
Are the people to have a sales tax, a property tax or will the
lawmakers finally decide to cut and slash budgets until neither is
needed? What will be done about highway funds? W hat about a
lot of things that have been left until the last unremunerative
days when legislation is hurriedly passed, often to be regretted later?
We doubt if the individual legislators are to blame x The system
is at fault in that it gives rise to the presumption that ninety mtn
hitherto unacquainted can meet, organize and ayree in forty days
upon the momentous problems of the times. When it is consider
ed that each legislator must read, study and form a definite conclu
sion on twenty bills per day, a^ an average, to finish the session on
time' The task immediately looks staggering.
It appears now, that some reform must be made in <ur legisla
tive processes if legislatures are to really represent the people-
from whom they derive their power, in theory at least.
