BURY ALL
DEAD LAWS
THE SLOGAN
LUNI1ED FREss LEAsED wIRE.l

Columbus. Ohio, March le.-Wlth
"bury all dead laws as its slogan,
large and Influential faction Of the
Ohio constitutional convention, in ses-
sion here, today is conducting fight
to include in the new state code a
statute which win purge the law books
Of the state Of thousands OF obsolete
statutes, which have come down
through the hundreds Of years of
British and American Jurisprudence.
+. w. Doty, one Of the delegates to
the convention from Cleveland, is the
father Of the idea. He declares that
in every state Of the Union there are
thousands Of laws which, by the
changes in communal life, are as dead
as herring. But every one Of them, he
says, Is In full force, and II is largely
Through musty old precedents dug
out Of these decayed measures that
litigation Is made tedious, and that Of
ten justice is denied
There are 10000 dead laws on the
statute books Of Ohio" said Doty,
outlining his plan, Most Of them
are dead. Why keep them2" And then
he advances the idea which is making
the Ohio lawmakers ponder.
Doty's plan is simply a statute OF
limitation on all laws, He urges that
each law have a natural life of ten
years, and that II shall die by automat-
ic repeal II the law fits and is use
ful the people may re-enact It for an
other term OF ten years. II not, well
for then II will be clear that the law
was useless and a burden.
Doty's amendment TO the Ohio con-
stitutlon, as proposed Is designed Ia
take effect December 81, 1912. II
would clear the stataute books on Jan
uary /, 1923 of every law now thereon
unless that law had been previously
re-enaoted.
Judge G. b. Okey, Of Columbus, Is
one OF those who fayors Doty's plan,
"ln my opinion he said, ut is en-
tirely feasible. It would operate as a
constant revision OF law to III the
needs Of the times, and would do more
TO acQuaint the people with the laws
under which they are living than any
thing else ever devised by the wit o.
man"
