BETTER QUALITY
IN OUR LEGISLATORS
Present Salaries inadequate to
Retain Efficient Men.

There is an old saying there i,
no evil without some good. This
will certainly hold good, especially
in the case of our last legislature.
One by one as the facts come to
light, we are almost forced to the
conclusion that it was made up of
lot of the most consunmate igno-
ramuses ever gathered together I'M
der one tent, or a pack of knaves.
Either conclusion is not conductive
to elated thought in the minds of
the average citizen.
Laws were placed promiscuouslv
on the statute books in a hit or miss
style something after the manner
OF crazy quilt. Laws were pass
ed and laws repealed in their stead
that never had an existence. or if
in existence they were upon an en-
tirely different subject than the law
passed would indicate. For in
stance, the law to repeal the old
road law making four supervisors
districts of the county and enact
one making twentyfour districts
instead, was one of the worst MUIR
dered things of the imbccile session.
In repeating the old law they refer
red to the section in regard to poll
tax and repealed it instead of the
old road law.
Now comes the law exempting
mortgages and money from taxa
ton which was passed by the last
legislature, which is found to be
another sample of imbecility, but
this time in favor of the people.
The same incompetency is shown
here. Judge Warren in rendering
his decision last week at Davenport
has this to say:
Now coming to the other objcC
ton made by the relator mentioned
above. The act in question is ell
titled An act amending all act,
entitled, An act to amend Sec. 3,
OF Chapter SO of the laws of 1897,
relation to revenue and taxation;

June II, 1901, Notwithstanding the
veto of the Governor, and declaring
an emergency"
Sec. /. That section Of
Chapter SO Of the laws Of 1897,
amended June 18th, 1901, is
hereby amended to read as follows,
Sec. 3 ETC., etc. BY refer
ence to Chapter 50 of the laws
OF 1907, which is the act re
TERED to in both the title and the
Dody IN question, we find it to be,
An act to prevent the destruction

marks, monuments and notices up

penalty therefor -
And we further find that the
act last above mentioned has no
section 3 to be amended"
Here we have the sublime spec

"orance OF these legislators has pre-
vented grievous wrong being done
