In view of the confusion and
destruction of the revenue sys-
tenn of the state occasioned by
the SO called tax law passed by
the last legislature. the words of
David Logan will be heartily ap-
preciated.
David Logan was known as
one of the able lawyers of the
state. At one time he was part
ner with Benton KILN and the
late Judge Shattuck, under the
firm name of Logan, Shattuck &
KILN.
During the progress of the con-
stitutional convention when the
present constitution of this state
was framed, the point was dis
cussed as to what time and how
often the state legislature should
convene in regular session. Many
suggestions were offered and con-
sidered. when Mr.. Logan sudden
ly arose and spske as follows:
''Mr. President, [ move you, sir,
that the time for the regular ses-
sions of the Legislature be fixed
for once every ten years and that
the duties thereof be confined to
repeating all acts of their prede-
cessors. What wise sugges-
ton in view of the crazy quilt
performances OF the several legis-
lative bodies of the past few
years? Few men are elected to
the legislature who foresee that
their best duty to their state is to
prevent the passage of bills and
thus preserve uniform laws. So
rapidly are the laws changed by
each legislature that few men
can have a certain knowledge of
what rule of action they live un-
der.

Before Any Steps are Taken in
1890 Closing Law.
This Is What City Officials Say
Doubt rs to the Ordinances
Standing.
MAY BE NOW ENFORCEABLE

City officials are unable to give out
any information relative to the de-
cision of the court of appeals in the
1890 closing law. They have re-
ceived no copy of the opinoin, and
when asked about 1t declare that all
they know is what they see in the
newspaper, and they certainly will
not try to enforce law on that.
Attorneys for the civic league say
that the ordinance may be enforced
as it now stands as to the provisions
declared legal without amendment.
II this proves correct the ordinance
will probably have to be enforced as
soon as the mandate from the court Of
appeals arrives, which will probably
be within the next thirty days.
Should 1t become necessary TO amend
the ordinance, however, the law will
probably never materialize, as the
legislative boards have changed suffi-
oiently since the ordinance was passed,
1t is claimed, to prevent the passage of
such . law now. II is also limited
that an effort may be made to repeal
the ordinance should it prove effective.
IL is quite certain, however, that
the ordinance is not being enforced
now, and will not be until the officers
receive official notice of the court Of
appeals decision, and have consulted
their attorneys. Chief of Police Grow
said this morning in response to a
question what was going to be done
about IL that be was not going to do
anything until he consulted his attor-
ney about II.
