Talks TO State Bar.

Crude Legislation was the subject
Of a paper read at the meeting OF the
Bar Association Of Indiana at the
Country club by George II. Clifford OF
Upton. who prefaced his remarks by
saying that in f%fty-seven years the
statute law OF Indiana has grown from
one small volume until II has reached
at the present time three large vol
umes. containing a total OF 1000
pages.
"In our legislative machinery" said
he, we have not kept pace with the
age. and we are trying to have our
Legislators do the work with a legisla-
tive OK team instead OF a legislative

during the first so days bills be car

be placed on final passage except
bills for appropriations: that there be
an adjournment for 30 days. and that
upon adjournment a copy Of all bills
which stand for final passage be fur
nished to the governor. Upon the sec
ond converting there should be no
original bills introduced. combining the
work entirely to the bills pending.
This would give the governor time to
familiarizc himself with the pending
legislation and also to have his attor-
ney general and other legal advisers
