WHY LEGISLATIVE WORK
is CROOKED.

Trickery and carelessness at the
end Of legislative sessions is the sub
Iect OF an article In an Eastern mag
asine, in which 1t is shown that in
but few states arc these weaknesses
In legislation successfully guarded
against. Utah has had an experience
With both the scheming and the care
less in legislative enactmentS.
II is related that in one of the
states recently the legislature enacted
a law to make it punishable offense
for employers to keep women en-
ployes at work more than "a hours
week. The bill was signed by the
governor. but within two days after II
had become statute the discovery
WAS made that errors OF the engross-
ing clerks had completely nullified
t. The facts. as nearly as can be
tscertained seem to be that the orig
lnal bill passed by the house Of rep
resentatives was so amended In the
senate that tho law would not be
operative during the months OF No
Temoer and December. The amend
nent was written on a slip of paper
which become lost in the mass OF ma
terial that accumulated at the close
Of tho legislative session and when
the bill was engrossed the amendment
was not added. II was therefore
signed by the presiding officers OF the
two houses in its original shape and
was SO sent 10 the governor. The er-
ror makes the law imperative and the
only manner In which the mistake
can be corrected is by the introduc-
tion and passage OF an entirely new
bill. This can not be done for two
years. as the legislature will not be
In session until 1911.
Errors of this sort are by no means
uncommon. They very often make
Intellectual long legislative fights IN
behalf of reforms. In one state of the
Union II is declared that the leglsla-
ture never adjourns without three or
four such mistakes being discovered
and on one occasion moro than a score
OF bills wore found to be defective be-
cause they had not been properly en-.
rolled. Sometimes carelessness is re-
sponsible' Sometimes trickery is re.

LAND BOARD TO BUY

Some time ago the board authorized
the purchase OF $4,000 worth OF Tooele

bonds and the bond purchase from
Lehi practically exhausts the funds on
hand for such purposes. prohibiting
the board from investing any more
money in this way until funds begin
TO come into the treasury again in
October.
The board has on hand applications
for loans of this sort amounting TO
upwards of 100000.
