THURSDAY. DECEMBER 30. 1880.

It'd to vote of the people. We voice
what we feel assured il the almost
universal sentiment of Pierce county
in heartily endorsing this proposed
amendment. AMI trust that Mr.. GIL
son will record his vote rs Il member
Of the legislature, in its support.
An excessive amount of needless
legislation has heen the misfortune of
Wisconsin from its organization.
much of which may be reasonably
attributed TO the frequent opportuni-
ties afforded therefor by annual ses.
sions. This great amount of unnec-
essary legislation and the frequent
changes of laws are prolific causes of
litjg ttion and strife among the PEG.
pie and contribute largely To swell the
1ockets of I'll our courts The re-
1uremeuts of laws upon given sub
iectS Are not accorded fair trial I'M
til some one secures their repeal or a
change in them to suit his individual
case or preference with hut lit lie if
any regard for the convenience of the
people. Less frequent opportunities
FIR chlnging laws will tend to secure
greater stability in our statutes as
fewer needless alterations would be
made. Iowa is a biennial State and
Ter people are well governed by far
less legis ttion than are the people of
Wisconsin. During the period be-
tween 1880 and 1880 Iowa managed to
maintain her existence in a creditable
manner with $50 new laws enacted
1t thirteen sessions of the legislature.
While Wisconsin was provided with
9.045 new laws by twenty-three legis-
lative sessions. That much less leg
islation will satisfy the requirements
of the people is clearly illustrated by
the fact that since 1871, when the
opportunity for making laws was
modified by constitutional amend
mont, legislation has decreased one
half.
Besides the economey in the num-
her of laws that in our opinion would
he produced by biennial sessions, IN
important financial saving would be
effected. The people generally think
that they are heavily taxed and are
constantly casting about for sources
IF relief. They feel that one of these
sources will be found in less frequent
legislative sessions, and in this they
ire Doubtless correct. The average
expense of legislative session is
lbout sos 900, and we are convinced
chat by a proper application to the
work before them on the part of
members. a biennial session need not
be of greater length than annual SEES
sions have heretofore been thus re-
ducing the expense of legislation one
half. As the present salary of a
member of the Legislature is 1850 for
a regular session which the proposed
amendment increases to $500, the
casual observer may be curious to
know how expenses are to be reduced
half. The increase in the salary
simply represents the amount of
stationery, newspapers, and postage
thlt each member now receives, and
which together with all other per
qusites, such as state, town laws,
ma other books, are cut off by the
proposed amendments.
