The copper era. (Clifton, Graham County, Ariz.) 1899-1911, 1910-01-13
Are There Too MANY Laws?

Ignorance of the law excuses no
one," is an old legal maxim. Every
body is supposed to know the law but
as a matter of fact nobody does.
The greatest lawyers are not posted
as to anything like all the live laws.
1t is sufficient for their purpose to
know where to find the law when they
want it.
These remarks are provoked by an
enterprising gentleman who has I'M
dertaken to make a census of the laws
of this country, and reports the result
in the Pittsburg Dispatch. He re-
ports 10000 live laws, legal rules and
regulations which people are bound
to obey or suffer more or less unpleas-
ant consequences. There are, accord
ing to his count, more than 5000
Federal statutes, and, on an average,
more than 5000 separate State laws,
| ignorance of which excuses no man.
1t has long been held that we haYe
too much legislation in this country,
and the so-called census of the laws
would seem to bear out that belief.
| When to the actual laws are added
the constructions which the courts
place on the laws, it is not surprising
that the ordinary man gives up all
notion of becoming even reasonably
informed as to what is the law, pre-
ferring to leave that to the lawyers.
