THE LEGISLATURE
Our legislative session has now
more than half expired, yet not one-
half of the work which the people
expected would I* done, has been
or is likely U> la- accomplished
Some of the leading feature« desir
ed, have not vet been introduced
At th«- same time a large majority
of the lulls introduced In both
houses, were never expected to be»
come laws
In fact many members
would not have introduced numer
ous bills which carry their names. if
they had not exp«-ct«-d the measures
would go into th«- legislative dis
card.
Such procedure on the uart of
the membership is time waste«! and
almost wilful extravagance
Either
the personnel of our legislate e body
are not of lawmaking caliber or
they r«-gard the forty davs of the
tension as a sort of an outing in
which much if not all of their time
could he given up to fun and frolic,
with an occasional bit of serious
work given to ap|*eaae their consti
tuencies
This is not what th«-
people ex|wct nr require of their
lawmakers
It is this cla* of work
which has d«-*troyed the confidence
of the people in the legislative body
