Neglect to Enforce Laws.

Another fruitful source of legislation 4
the neglect or failure to enforce exb~rZS
laws A lax public sentiment, plus ~ In
competent executive, renders of ~ effect
wholesome law until the breaches of it
become so numerous and offensive that
an aroused and indignant public senti-
ment demands relief. The result is often
a demand for further legislation, because
IL Is enormously assumed that the wrong
suffered by the public could not have
happened had the laws been adequate for
It's protection. And crop of new and I'M
necessary statutes is the outcome-unnec-
essary because all that is needed is rigid
enforcement of existing law. This has
been demonstrated within the past year,
when, in the midst of the most hysterical
demands for new laws aiming at certain
offenSes, successful resort has been had
on large scale to existing laws. The
continuance of such efforts will demon
strate the adequacy of the laws when
rigidly enforced. to put an end to the
practices which they were intended to
prevent, and at the same time demon
strate anew the wisdom of enacting only
such laws as can be enforced. and then
to secure their enforcement.
In many cases the miSdirected or ig-
norant zeal OF an executive officer is re-
sponsible for many new and useless laws.

against classes or individuals, only to find
that juries do not convict, or that, if they
do, courts will not sustain. Then comes
a new harvest of laws in order to justify
or supplement the zeal of men who may
be honest, but who are wanting either in
judgment or knowledge. In addition,

lrstrates the perils which lurk in the
carrying of inert laws upon the statute

In like manner there should be added
to the causes Of over-legislation already
enumerated the industrious and persis-
tent efforts of executive officers to pro-
cure legislation which is either agreeable
to their parties or to the ideas they rep
resent as individuals 1t was the funda-
mental idea of the founders of our gov
eminent that the three branches of gov
eminent should be kept distinct with
certain well defined and understood diff
ferences. The executive officer might
recommend legislation, but it was as
sumed that any interference on his part
to command Ii would not only be going
beyond his powers but would also excite
resentment.
RELOCATED TO the Rear.
Now, however this idea has gone to
the limbo of other beautiful, but dead,
ideals. An executive officer may not only
recommend, but is expected to urge, and,

ton as he deems wise, and will be con-
sidered justified if he distributes or with
holds patronage for the avowed purpose
of inducing or forcing legislation. if at
the time there is a public sentiment in
favor of such legislation. Instances are.
however, not uncommon. in which such
an official will make short work of cor
rupt combinations to get public money,
or of bills intended to promote class in

pose is theft or miSapprOpriatiOn. Leg

gress to village council, pass bills deal
ing with their own employees, with let
ter carriers or other classes of officials
with departments and bureaus. or with
police and firemen, with no other pur-
pose than that of putting the response
bility upon the president. the governor or
the mayor. To the credit of the latter
il must be said that seldom is such a re-
lance vain.
