ogists; but. though there is a strong
public sentiment in certain states
which have advanced legislation on
this subject i'm favor of such uniform
ity, the progress toward it is slow.
Much has been said, however as to
the evils resulting from the non-uni-
formity in certain fields of state leg
islation, nothing is more certain than
that, as a whole, this non uniformity
has been productive of far more of good
than of evil. Each state. each city in
fact. has been in way a politico-
economic experiment station for the
solution of important governmental
problems. Both their successes and
their failures have been instructive
examples to be followed or avoided
And there seems no room whatever
for doubt that to the wide freedom
in legislation exercised by the diff
erent states is due i'm large measure
many If not most of the progressive
laws upon the various statute books.
The Calumet news. [volume] (Calumet, Mich.) 1907-1938, 1910-02-02
UNIFORM STATE LAWS.

There can be no question that great
benefit would result from uniformity
in state laws-in regard to many mat
tiers. But i'm regard to many. perhaps
most, such uniformity is impracticable.
Among these are the laws governing
marriage and divorce, regulation of
the liquor traffic, taxation, elections.
etc. South Carolina for instance. al
lows no divorces; New York and GER
tan other states permit them ONLY on
one ground; while many states have
what some call liberal" and others
lax divorce statues No uniform
state marriage and divorce laws are
practicable, SO greatly does public
sentiment on this subject differ in the
diHerent states; and what is true in
regard to divorce applies equally to
many other spheres of legislation. No
stronger movement in favor of uniform
state laws has existed than that in
regard to marriage and divorce; and
yet, though this agitation has been
pushed for many years by influential
moral and religious forces, only four
states have as yet adopted portions"
Of the proposed uniform marriage and
divorce laws, while 3s states have
adopted uniform laws regarding com
mercial paper.
1t must be conceded that there Is a
certain broad field in state legisla-
uon where uniformity is impracticable.
If not undesirable But there is an
other field where 1t is desirable and
ought not to be impracticable. Uni
tormity i'm laws governing bills of lad
ing warehouse receipts. sales. etc. is
as necessary as uniformity in ne
gotiable instruments: yet only eight
states have adopted a uniform ware
house receipt act and only five a sales
act Differences In the requirements
OF state laws regarding railroad. in
surance and Industrial corporations are
as much OF hindrance-to commerce
as non-uniform laws governing nego-
table instruments. bills of lading. etc
but although the need OF uniformity in
this class OF laws is becoming more
and more recognized. the prospects for
securing any great approach TO Il at
an early day are not promising. so
wide is the difference in public opin-
ion In different geographical sections
Uniform child labor and other fac
tory laws, too. are generally recognized
as desirable by disinterested sociol-

Candidate Osborn caused a stir

that certain state employees had col
lected more than legitimate expenses
for trips made on state business, says
the Mining Journal. Auditor General
Fuller, who is investigating the mat
referred 10 by Mr. Osborn were not
collected as the discrepancies were
discovered and payment refused. Other
officials have expressed the belief that
Mr.. Osborn should come across with
definite information as to names and
dates, so that the wrongdoing may be
definitely fixed on those responsible for
il. Again it is pointed out that the
matter referred to by Mr.. Osborn was
threshed out by the state board of
auditors some time ago, and that as
a result of Investigations made two
men were discharged from the states
employ and others resigned, while the
board established a new practice i'm
relation To allowances for travelling ex-
penses, requiring full information i'm

sible doubt that there have been petty
abuses Of the nature alluded to by Mr..
Osborn running back for n long per-
iod of years. only a minority of state
employees has been guilty of them, but
they should be made impossible. The
steps taken by the state board of
auditors are sufficient to that end. it
is said. If there have been any fur

itself took cognizance of the matter.
1t is plain Mr.. Osborn will doubtless
give specific information to the pro-
per officials, so that punishment may
be mcted out to the offending officials.

II is only right that the people
should take notice of the extent To
which the new tariff i'm operation is
making good the promises of its franz
ers. The law went into force August

centage of free imports has grown un-
iii December showed that practically
60 per cent. of all the imports dur
ing that month were free. The av-
erage maintained for the last five
months of the calender year, 1909 is
the largest percentage of free imports
under any law except that of 1890
when sugar was admitted free. swell
ing the imports coming i'm without the
payment of duty to 55.79 per cent. of
the total imports. During the last
twenty years the proportion of inn
ports admitted free ranged from AZ
per cent. To AIS per cent. If under
the law which the present super
cedes the proportion of imports adj
mitted free was as stated, and under
the present law it has risen To so per
cent, there is support for the claim of
those who made the present tariff that
il represents a revision downward"
