The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1877-05-28

The Illinois legislature has ct last ad-
journed, ana the summing up Of its work
is as suggestive as 1t is interesting The
session began January 8, and terminated
May "a making l42 days, for which the
members drew pay, though only 50 days
were actually DEVOTED to business. There
fore, they were paid for Al days in which
nothing at all was done-a very easy way
of making money. The total expense Of
the session is set down at 100000, or
nearly $4,000 for each working day. In
the senate 1862 bills were introduced, of
which 100 got as far as the house. In the
house 1856 pills were introduced, of which
only ITO got as far as the senate. The
total number of bills introduced in both
branches was 1907, of which only ITS
were concurred iD and sent to the governor
for approval. Thus 922 bills were still
born and might just as we'll never have
been introduced at all. That they were
considered worthless is proved by the fate
which overlook them, and Of course the
time spent in their preparation and dis
cussion was utterly wasted-which, how
ever, does not prevent its being paid for
The l76 bills which went through the mil
two of them were killed by veto-couC
easily have been prepared, discussed anC
passed 10 sixty days at farthest; which
would have saved so days in time and al
least $3.50, 600 in money. Probably of the
l73 bills which became laws, fully one.
third are of no special consequence, and
not a few positively injurious to public
interests. All the bills which we're abso
lutely needed we presume could have beer
30 pushed as to reach the executive Office
in four weeks from the commencement o
the session
Here, then, says the ST. Louis Repub
licdB, we haye practical illustration o
the American mania for legislation, and j
ought to convince even the most incred
ulous that there can be too much of
good thing" IL would have been vastl
better for the people of Illinois if thei
general assembly had sat only 40 days in
stead of l42, snd Judging from the char
acter of some of the appropriations, tn
tax payers are likely to think that it woul
have been much better for them if tn
general assembly had not sat at all. Tn
simple fact of the matter is that net oul
in Illinois, bat for the country at large
legislation-Or the performance called b
that name-has attained the dimensions Q
frst-class nuisance, This nuisance ough
