fool legislators and their Quack legislative nos
trums would make them 80 conspicuous that
public attention would he effectively drawn to
the evil and some practical remedy be devised.
For as Governor Grggs himself suggests II
may be that the evil Is like some diseases-H
must get worse before it can get Deter lhere
Is some reason. indeed, to believe that the uhi-
versal ridicule which the entire press OF 'he
country hcaped upon the foollshness ana worse
than foolishness which characterized the WORK
of nearly all the State Legislatures last winter
may have a good effect and that more sensi-
bic and reasonable class Of lawmakers will be
chosen in future.
Herein, OF course the real-and. in fact. the
onlS-effectve remedy lies. 1t Is much more
easy 10 suggest than to apply. 1t puts the
blame for unnecessary and foolish legislation
where it actually beloncs-back of the law
makers upon the body Of voters who make the
lawmakers and are responsible for them. The
fool legislators may be held up to contempt and
ridiculed out Of office and public life, but until
the great body of voters are aroused to the ne
ceSsity for radical change in the standard OF
qualifications and the character of their repre-
sentatves we shall have one set OF ncOmpc-
tents succeeded by another equally unfit, only
to continue making government farce. the
Legislature circus and the somewhat serious
business of legislation a ridiculous show of
clownish antics by transforming comedians
and silly end men. If would have better
and wiser legislation, and only so much as Is
actually needed. we must seek it through a
radical change in the quality and character OF
legislators. Improvement must begin there. and
il never will begin until the average citizen
realizes his own responsibility. discharges his
civic duty unse,fshly and religiously and com
pcs the establishment Of higher standards for
public office. That. too. Is easy to say. but ire
mendously hard to bring about The almost
inSurmountable obstacle in the way rs Gov
