THE LAST IS ALWAYS
TF THERE IS a good law tlie presr-nt lefriKiuture liasn't killed and
A a bud law it hasn't passed, we have yet to discover it." Thus
remarked an up-stnte paper, at the close of a legislative session ten
years ago. " ' . . ' 'i,''., '
That expression finds prompt echo at the close of every legislative
session. Nevertheless, it wasn't literally true, ten years ago, and it
isn't literally true today-. There arc no 100 per cent legislatures- good
or bad. Each legislature is astonishingly like its predecessor.-- They
are all depressingly average. ; . .. .
Anil they will continue to be average, mixing the good and the
Lad, the wise and the foolixh, always concluding with a jam of con
fused congestion as long as the present system continues. And the
key-stone pf'.the. present system is
which Heaven Iti.ows is antiquated
Jyvvnue. and lethargy-pf the public. . . ' '
The people', as a whole, take no interest in the legislature,
'.neither in the' men they send to it, nor their conduct when they get
lliere.'' Only nsuiall minority show uny us'tivjty, u"d that minority
only .win n there? is some-selfish interest: ,o' serve. ,As a result, the
legislature- is entirely HtiiToiimlc(d by lobbyists, professional well-fed
'anil well-paid, while the 'public is, fur away and quiescent. '
Efficiency uOdei; such circumstances is impossible. , The mnjorify
of the legislature are honest and, capable men, sincerely anxious to do
Yi'liut they believe to lie for the best interests of the stale ; but the con
fusion is so great, the coiil'licfof petty interests so intense, that they
soon tire out. nierelv trv to nlease tlie most voeilVriiiiu iA' llw.it' nan.

homes anil real vocations, .jolly glad to be out of it, and. marvelling
that, the results are not entirely disastrous.
'.' ' '''" -
'Youthful reformers would change all this.' They would create a
legislative body of disinterested and efficient experts, men above petty
pride and local interest, men impervious lo clamour and buncombe,
men with a broad view of state welfare, liud a knowledge, of construe,
tivn'iT-fnrm, a system which in one year would save the pimple of the
state. perhaps millioii'dollars. - , ' ., ' ,;

is no immediate prospect of anything doing. ' ; , '-
