(By ELBERT BEDE)
About 75 per cent of hte people,
if asked their opinion of members of
the legislature would say that they
are a bunch of feeble-minded crooks,
or would speak of them in similar
terms of opprobrium. Newspapers,
through their funny columns, have
lei the uay in creating this opin-on
of legislators. What newspapers
mean a a joke the ordniary person
at home, who has never attended a
ciss,ion. takes seriously, or at least
83 partially true. This may show
a confidence in newspapers that news
Tapers iliould endeavor to deserve,
but it is bad for the regard of the
people for their legislative oodies.
It is bad because of the disrespect
it creates for governing bodies. This
may be a large part of the reason
f . r the c itimpt which ma ty 1 1 :d
f;r reitrictive and restrain, rig laws,
for the nt.in& that it is no diigr.ee
to overstep the law just so one isn't
caught at it.
But the legislator is not the kind
of person that this 75 per cent of the
people are likely to say that he is.
The legislature is made up of avenge
men from average communities of
the state. Those from other districts
are about the same in character and
ability as those from your own dis
trict. If the person at home would
not call the members from his own
district crooks and grafters, he
should not speak in similar terms of
those from other districts, for there
is but little difference in them, re
gardless of the part of the state from
which they come.
In a legislative session they act
much the same as the average person
does at a community meeting or civic
club meeting at home. It is no un
usual thing for a chamber of com
merce to adopt some resolution with
out due consideration, or upon the
word of some member interested in
the resolution, and for the civic body
to wish a day or so later to rescind
its action. The average men from
the average communities of the state
act much the same when they become
legislators as they did before. What
the legislators do here is about the
same as would be done by those at
home who are so free with criticism.
It is the unjust and unfair criticism
of men who come here and give their
services for less than the cost to
them that makes it difficult to get the
best men to become candidates for
the assembly. Despite this fact, I
have observed during 15 years that
the quality of legislators is steadily
improving, and I would venture the
guess that the. men here are more
than the average of the state, and
that their actions are above what
could be reasonably expected from
the many thousands who speak of
them in terms of derision.
Much derogatory has been said
about the batch of new laws enacted
by every legislative session, for
which reason a study of legislation
introduced at this session should be
interesting.
Firstly, no legislation has been en
acted designating any new crime,
while several obnoxious laws have
been enacted. Very few new laws
would regulate anyone or anything,
and those that would have been re
quested by those to be regulated.
New conditions under which we
live are responsible for many new
laws. For instance, the automobile
is provocation for many new laws
at every session, and no one has
found any fault with any regulatory
law except the speed limit law, and
this limit is practically certain to
be boosted to 35 miles. This is one
of the peculiarities about some
crimes. Traveling on the highways
at 35 miles cn hour will be a crime
on the day before the new law be
comes effective, making 35 miles
legal.
Several of the new laws are aimed
to carry into effect the will of the
people as expressed when thy cre
ated a new tuberculosis hospital and
new normal school. Many of the new
laws are designed to bring about a
more equable assessment of property
of the state. Surely no one will de
ny that this is desirable.
Despite all the need for new laws,
only 212 have been introduced in the
to houses this session, while there
are 326 bills to amend present laws
and 114 to repeal present laws.. There
are 110 appropriation bills, but these
can not come under the head of new
laws. A dozen laws make change in
lows effecting fish, and more than a
dozen have been designed to evolve
r.ew revenue producers for the state.
Most of the new laws are compara
tively unimportant, having such title
as "A bill ior an act to organize and
Viovide for dissolution of cemetery
associations," "A bill for an act to
provide for the appropriation for
beneficial use of the underground wa
ters of the state," etc.
