GROSSBR'S IDEAS.
HE WOULD DO AWAY WITH
SPECIAL BILLS.
Tayors q Constitutional Amendment
Regulating tho 1atter-state
Needs General Legislation With
Careful Safeguards.

ENTERPRISE, Dec. 2l.-Emil Grosser,
Dickinson county's representative iu
the legislature, has given out the fol-
lowing as his views on what the leg
islature should do at its coming ses-
sion:
"I believe the legislature could 40
not better than submit. to the people a
constitutional amendment doing
away with special legislation Two
years ago the Legislature was flooded
with special bills; bills to disorganize
school districts, vacant townsites,
permit townships, counties and cities
to erect public improvements or to
raise their maximum tax levy or is
sue bonds; bills to build public roads,
county high schools, etc., and bills to
repeal other special laws that had
been passed at previous sessions. Had
the legislature attempted to give
these bills the time and attention the
law designs, it would have been
swamped. As it was, these bills we're
not read as the constitution requires;
they were in nearly every case not
considered at all, and were generally
passed as a matter Of courtesy to the
member introducing them. So farci-
cal was the manner OF enacting these
laws that the governor refused to
sign them, but allowed them to take
effect without ailixing his signature.
In q few instances the people Of a
county that was affected BY some
special law were up in arms after
they discovered what had been done,
and returned a member to the legisla-
ture pledged to the repeal OF that lfw'
ut needs but moments thought
to realize how grave abuses may
creep in with such hasty and ''Ne-
less manner Of placing laws upon oar
statute books. 1t is but just to say,
however, that the ends sought to be
attained by these bills were in most
cases meritorious. But there should
be a simpler way of providing for
such needs. 1t is unjust to compel a
community to ash the consent OF the
legislature every time it wishes lo
make some needed local change or
improvement; it is wrong to occupy
with local affairs the time OF the leg
islature which should be given to the
consideration Of questions affecting
the welfare of the state generally
"Amend the constitution so as to
do away with special legislation
Then pass comprehensive general
laws, properly safe-guarded, allowing
communities, upon their own initia-
tive, to meet the exigencies that ordi-
narily arise. Unless something of
this kind is done, our growing popu.
lation and rapidly increasing and di-
versiiying industries will soon make
so many demands upon legislative
time that the consideration of gen.
eral legislation will be out Of the
question"
