Earl Van Dorm at Pea Ridge, and In the

Thus far in the legislative ses.
sion at Boise a whole lot Of newfang.
led legislation has been proposed,
but nothing Of direct interest to
the people of the state at large. II
instead of wasting time on new
legislation, our solons would devote
attention to amending the defects
in the registration law, thereby re.
leving the people of each county
of a whole lot of useless expense al
each election, we shall have some.
thing to show. Local option, direct
primaries and railroad commissions
may be of paramount Importance
to some, but the needed changes in
the existing registration law are
of more direct benefit to the county
governments than all other matters
combined, and we trust that the
session will not expire without
some attention being given to this
very vital matter.

CURSE OF LEGISLATION.

An unusual number of profess
sionally reformatory measures are
pending in the state legislature
that seem likely to consume more
time than the practical affairs Of
state that require attention and
action at stated periods. Most, il
not all, of these measures are pro-
posed not because of any visible
and pressing need, but because
other states have them. What
Idaho trusts, for example, are
aimed at in the bill now under dis
cussiOn? There are some monopO-
lies here, to be sure, such as the
public service and transportation
corporations, and some trusts, such
as the union labor trust and peri
odical agricultural, livestock or
woolgrowers' trusts, but is the bill
intended to reach them? Not in a
thousand years. There is an anti
child labor bill, but who in this
state is employing child labor that
ought not to be employing it?
Speak out, and give some instance
OF the evil it is proposed to correct.
There is now compulsory school
law on the statute books, and if
this is not effective, why not? One
house has passed an anti-lobby law,
but does anyone suppose that this
will prevent a woman crusader from
buttonholing legislators on the sub
ject of temperance, delinquencies
and social disorders that are the
subject of proposed legal reforma-
tions?
And SO it goes-just a round of
ceasless law-making and law break
ing, the like of which has not been
seen in any country in any age. OF
course the special injuries and
dangers of such revel in legislation
are not understood, but they ought
to be. They are numerous and are
matters of daily occurrence. But
the one general result is far more
serious than all the individual or
special losses combined. The gen
eral result is expressed in popular
loss OF respect for the laws. The
people have come to look upon
legislation as special favor, to
be lobbied and schemed for and
sometimes paid for even as mer-
chandise on bargain counters: as a
means by which one side may get
the better of the other side and the
strong secure even greater advant-
age over the weak.
Too much legislation has weak
ened the force aud effect of all
legislation, and has emphasized
strongly the old truth that govern
ment is best which governs least.
we hope the gentlemen of the ninth
assembly will set in with this basic
principle to guide and assist them
in the heavy task which now lies
before them.-Lewiston Tribune.
