"T h e re ’s a chance for everybody h ut
a q u itta r.”
T here is much criticism ab o u t o u r
inefficient and
in eq u itab le laws.
Such laws are th e re su lt of sending
inefficient o r designing re p re se n ta
tives to th e le g isla tu re to do o u r
law -m aking. Again it too o ften h ap
pens th a t good laws a re not enforced
because of th e inefficiency or c u lp a
bility of officers who are elected to
ad m in ister th e law. T hese m en do
not get in to office unless the people
vote them in, and if they are guilty
of m aking bad laws, o r fall to en
force law they are g u ilty of m al-ad-
m in istratlo n and th e people who
vote to p u t them into office are g u il
ty of co n trib u to ry negligence, and
th e person who fails to vote a t all is
surely g u ilty of such negligence.
R eg ister and do your duty.
