THE LEGISLATURE
T III'I leo'islative si ssimi il' l!)171i;is paused into history,
and a sigh of relief goes up over the state as the
official ciipies f new laws are awaited to prciierly esti
mate the effect upon ( lie state and its development.
The remark is commonly heard that this was the worst
session in history hut the same remark is prevalent after
every session. As a matter of fact, the legislature did not
dii'ler materially from other legislatures.
There was the usual sprinkling of grafters, hut the ma
jority Avere prohahly honest men. .Lack of an efficient or
ganization and lack of leadership in either house showed in
1 hi: unusual amount of log rolling and dilitory tact ics.
it is the system, rather than the pcrsonnal of the legis
lature that is responsihle for the hiennial scandals. There
hit too many legislators, too many hills, and too frequent
sessions. Measures are seldom considered upon their
merits, hut are enacted or defeated according to the
persona or political pressure applied or the Irades
consummated.
We have gone law crazy. AVe want to regulate every
thing and everybody except ourselves. Karh legislature
introduces seme one thousand or more hills, half of which
become laws and few of which are csscuiial. A legislative
sessin! mice in five or six years with the. hoard of control
authorized 1o make annual levies for needed expenditures,
would he a real saving to Hie taxpayers.
I'niii the copies of bills enacted are received, it will he
impossible to comment intelligently upon their merits, as
as till were more or less amended front t heir original forms.
The big work of the legislature has been the promotion of a
definite highway policy and the submission to the people of
ii six million dollar bond issue for permanent highways,
the adoption of which will enable Oregon to keep pace with
"Washington am'. California in highway development.. An
insurance code, highly favorable to the companies instead
of the policy holders, and it new irrigation code has been
enacted.
The process of popular government is always painful,
but if as a result of this legislative session, a good roads
program results, the people can overlook the many shortcomings.
