SEN. LAZARO WANTS
LEGISLATION CARE
FULLY CONSIDERED
Measures Adopted At One Ses-
sion to BE Finally Passed
At the Succeeding One.
Haste in vital matters, in most

Haste in vital matters, in most
cases, have a fatal end.
Ali questions of import should
be carefully considered, and per-
haps none deserve more mature
consideration than measures Of
the Legislature of a State. The
laws passed there strike directly
home, and home is the p~ulsating
spot Of all things.
Therefore, deliberate consider
alton, Senator from this district,
for the lawmakers to consider
legislative questions, is abso-
lutely sound in logic and safety,
and the suggestions contained in
the article have the hearty ap-
proyal Of the Clarion.
Here is the article, published
in the Times Democrat:
Washington, La. April Is, 1912.
To the Editor of The m s.
Democrat:
I published a letter dated Aug.
n, 1909, ii your paper, giving
my legislative experiences Of
sixty days in our State Senate
and suggested two remedies for
hasty and loose lawmaking: one
To amend our Constitution, meet
thirty days annually, one session
to be devoted to the Introduction
of bills and the hearings before
the committees to which they
are referred, but no action to be
taken until the following session,
that to give the press time to
publish and discuss the bills and
giving the representatives an in
terVal of one year to discuss with
their constituents, study and
digest, so that they may vote in
diligently on the laws govern
the lives and business of the
people. The other remedy was
a legislative reference depart
ment, under the direction of a
man versed in political science.
This is what / said at that time
of course, the first objection
to this would be the cost. 1t is
cheaper to hire a man to draw
the laws constitutionally than it
s to convene a special session of
he Legislature as soon as the
Judges have knocked out all of
results of the regular session.
i would also tighten the labors
# the courts and save money to
he taxpayers. Under this sys-
EN-, before the Legislature
would meet, t he department J
would send letters to all the rep !
esentatives asking them what {
ubiects they will be interested !
h when they meet in Baton {
From the replies of I
hese letters the head of the $
apartment would learn u t /
that laws are likely to be in !
and would begin gath {
information. By the time {
he legislator who is interested a
i, say child labor, arrives at the U
he would find a shelf all T
lady for him in the legislative a
eference department. He g
find there, first, say, |
ritical data, that is, general
on the work done in ! /
is line all over the world; D
lid labor wages, hours, health p
a their morals. Second, he !,
uld find laws of other States {,
vering the subject.
This would be no experiment; a
6 legislative department at il
ldison, Wis. is doing admira- b
work. Beginning in 1901,

material as fast as possible. His
services proved to be SO valuable
that his facilities were increased
and at one of these sessions not
long after every bill which be-
came a law with only two ex-
ceptions) was drawn by the de-
partment. Similar departments
have been established more re-
Gently in Virginia, California and
Indiana.
Such a legislative reference
department could be established
in connection with the State
Library at the State Capitol.
This would, in the long run, Gre
ate a demand for a national
museum Of comparative legisla-
ton, and in the end would save
time and money. Any one who
has been a member of the Legis-
lature, or has been in the inside
workings of the Assembly, can
realize the Importance OF this
work in favoring the making OF
better laws. Legislators, as a
rule, are not students. They
mean well, but there are many
things involved in their duties
that they don't know. A de-
partment like the above would
give to every legislator a skilled
and confidential assistant, and
place within reach all the in
formation bearing on any class
of legislation in which he may
be interested. Thus he would
be able to give the State much
better service than he could pos
sibly render without this aid. ]
think it is a fact that we suffer
more, much more, from lack of
time to consider bills by the law
maker than from viciousness.
What we want to do under this
system is merely to aid them; in
the presence of light they will do
right.
The country is growing tired
Of the hastily written and slipshod
laws with which our statute
books are burdened, and some
thing will have to be done. We
all know how President Taft IS
being congratulated to-day on
the wisdom of having selected
Messrs. Knox, WickershaW and
Root, expert statute writers, to.
the proposed corporation
tax amendment. Why? So that
it will be proof against the at
lacks of the other lawyers and
so carefully joined and fitted to-
gether that the most ingenious
IAN find no loophole.
Why is a tariff commission
recommended by some of our
leepest thinkers to replace the
resent antiquated and made
Iuate method of dealing with
he tariff? Because it would
reate a permanent government
al agency, designed and equip
to collect, collate and study
facts of every nature,
nd to place the knowledge so
cvuired at the service of Con-
ress, to aid and guide it in
raining tariff legislation so that
shall best conform to that
neutral line which implies the
reatest regard for the interests
nd rights of all the people.
Now that public sentiment
to be ripe for these reme-
les, | propose to take the mat
r up at the coming session next
lay and do all I can to help bet
II our present system. / am

.unication from Baion Rouge,

Pubilc Health Education.

Enlightened pub ic opinion is the
most potent force toward better
pubic health and sanitation.
Physicians will succeed in their cam.
paign for prevention of disease in
proportion to the understanding of
The value of health measures by the
public and its cooperation to secure
them.
The Journal OF the American Med
ical Association recently commented
on the desirability OF more coop
Grafton between physicians and
churches in public health education.
The Men and Religion Forward
Movement, which has caused q ma
tion-wlde sensation. has not re-
stricted its activities to purely re-
ligtous matters. Various social
problems have been attacked; for
example, careful analysis of condi-
lions in various cities that resulted
in recommendations for improved
sewerage and quarantine systems,
protection of milk-supply, organiza-
lions of health departments, better
opportunities for harmless recrea-
ton, improved garbage collection
etc.
In many cities excellent results
followed the work. The funda-
mental basis was survey OF actual
conditions, that is, the tabuiation OF
all the ascertainable facts in the
case before taking action. This is
merely touching on the medical
phase OF this movement. It's chief
work, o. course, was religious. but
the movement seemed to attack the
human problem in all It's ramifca-
tions-spiritual, social, physical
and to recommend Improvements
wherever it was thought wise.
1t is evident that the element of
public education on health condi-
lions is working. Great improve
ments in the sanitation and hygiene
of the American people are due in
short order as soon as the public is
awakened 10 the possibilities.

Teddy's GOOD" Trust.

The following article appeared in
the New York Tribune. May 10,
1912:
In the estimation of ex-President
Roosevelt the international Har-
vester Company was good" trust,
SO good, indeed, that he refused to
permit 1t to be prosecuted for vio-
latIon OF the Sherman antitrust law
after his friend, George w. Per-
kins, had assured him OF It's benea-
cent character. In this connection
some supporters of the president
have noted with interest the state
ment of Cyrus H.. Mccormick that
the sales OF the trust OF which he is
president amounted last year to
$10S.o33,595, that these paid div
idends on the preferred stock OF
S4.2o0,oo0 and permitted 1921
3s8 to be carried to the surplus.
In view Of the fact that $50. 900, 900
OF common stock does not at all rep
resent money paid into the concern,
the profits for the last year were
much larger than the figures indi-
Gated. OF course. even as they
stend, the profits may seem large to
those farmers who were compelled
to buy harvester, reaper. seeder,
plow, rake or harrow from the Har-
vester Trust and to pay Its price, or
go without; but then, 1T is remarked
the farmers should not object to
some measure OF extortion, for had
not the Harvester Trust maintained
a complete monopoly and paid such
handsome profits. how could Mr..
Perkins now contribute SO literally
70 the much needed campaign fund
OF Mr. Roosevelt?

While president Of the United
States President Roosevelt was a.
persistent receiver Of Of special IA
Tors from railroads. He Invariably
travelled in special trains furnished
by the railroads free of cost, until,
in the last days of his administra-
ton, Congress put an end to the dis
graceful proceedings, when the
railroad presidents themselves be-
gan to eritieise the president, by
voting $4,000 a year for travelling
expenses.
During the first two years Of his
administration President Roosevelt
made twenty-five railroad trips.
many on special trains, at the ex-
pense Of the railroads. The long
est was IN 1903 when he made a
sixty-two-day trip of $4,000 miles on
a train that would cost. private cit
izen at least $1,000 day. During
that year and tho next he USED
special trains on at least three other
occasions, including one two-weeks'
trip to New England. "A bill for
$1,000 for food and drink and ci-
gars and laundry on one trip made
by Roosevelt was attempted to be
collected by the New England roads
in vain.
The Pennsylvania road, then IN
der influence OF interests now close
to Mr.. Roosevelt in this campaign,
was usually intrusted with the job
OF furnishing the special trains, and
with arranging the railroad timer
airy. In return therefor, the railroad
friends of the president had unu-
sual favors in the matter of obtain
ing advance information as to legis-
laton favored by the administra-
ton both for and against the rail-
roads. This was, of course, a
Square DEAF as between Roosevelt
and the railroads and the people
paid the freight.
