legislative Mistakes.

An exchange urges the members Of
the incoming Legislature to read all
article by Samuel P. Ortiz in the latest
Atlantic Monthly which deals with
legislatures in general and their short
coinings In particular. The article is
amusing and Of general interest, but is
hardly needed for the enlightenment of
a body of men so sensible, intelligent
and conservative az these who make
up Maine Legislature. The author
points out the carelessness and stupid
ity too often apparent in statutes en-
acted by state legislatures and the alb
surd mistakes due to the careless en-
grossment of bills, Of which he gives
several ludicrous instances. Then
come the FOOL measures" as Mr.. Orth
calls them. Among these are the Ne4
braska measure to prohibit the wearing
NJ corsets by women; the Kansas bill
TO repeal the State Constitution and
enact the Decalogue in it's place; the
Gill proposed by an Indiana philosopher
to change the mathematical ratio Of
S14lS to 3.l5 because it was easier to
calculate: the Michigan bill to pro-
nibit the use of any language except
English on restaurant bills of fare; the
Arkansas antitrust law prohibiting a
member of any pool or trust in any
part Of the world from doing business
in that state.
These measures. be 1t understood
were simply introduced ir the legisla-
lures mentioned, and were not passed
by them. 1t takes only che member
to introduce fool measure" and as
