been a member of the Legislature, or
who has seer the inside workings of
the Assembly, can realize the import
ance 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
don't know. A department like the
above would give to every legislator a
skilled and confidential assistant, and
place within reach all the information
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
possibly render without this aid. I
think it is a fact that we suffer more,
much more, from lack of time to con-
slider 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 bur-
dened, and something will have to be
done. We all know how President
Taft is being congratulated today on
the wisdom Of having selected Messrs.
Knox, Wickersham and Root, expert
statute writer's, to frame the propos-
ed corporation tax amendment. Why?
SO that it will be proof against the
attacks Of the other lawyers and so
carefully Joined and fitted together
that the most ingenious can find no
loophole.
why is q tariff commission recon.
mended by some of deepest think
ers to replace the present antiquated
and inadequate method of dealing
with the tariff? Because it would
create q permanent technical govern
mental agency, designed and equipped
to collect, collate and study statisti-
cal facts of every nature, and to place
the knowledge 80 acquired at the
service Of Congress, to aid and guide
1t in framing tariff legislation so that
it shall best conform to that neutral
line which implies the greatest re-
gard for the interests and rights of
all the people"
Now that public sentiment seems
to be ripe for these remedies, l pro-
pose to take the matter up at the
coming session next May and do all
l can to help better our present sys-
tenn. l am especially glad to read a
communication from Baton Rouge,
dated April IL, which says that the
State University proposes
to do for the Legislature Of Louisiana
what the University of Wisconsin has
been doing for some years for the
of that State. acting as an
bureau. upon which the
members Of the General Assembly
could draw at any time. The plan is
fully given in q letter from Hon. R. L.
dean Of the law school.
l hope others will help. and that
the good work will crystalize in some
measure to give the people Of Louis
lana some Improvement on our pres
emit system Of legislation. There was
. bill introduced in Congress recently
to create q reference department.

legislative Reference,

Editor of The Times-D democrat:
l published a letter dated Aug. II
1909, in your paper, giving my legis
lative experiences of sixty days il
our State Senate and suggested two
remedies for hasty and loose law
making: one to amend our COnstitu
ton +, meet thirty days annually, one
session to be devoted to the introduc
ton of bills and the hearings before
the committees to which they are re
ferred, but no action to be taken I'm
til the following session, that to give
the press time to publish and discuss
the bills and giving the representa-
tives an interval of one year to dis
cuss with their constituents, study
and digest, so that they may vote in
diligently on the laws governing the
lives and business of the people. The
other remedy was a legislative refer
ence department, under the direction
Of q man versed in political science.
This is what l said at the time:
"Of course, the first objection to
this would be the cost. It is cheaper
to hire Q man to draw the laws con.
stitutionally than it Ia to convene a
special session Of the Legislature a.
soon a the judges have knocked out
all Of the results of the regular SEES
sion. 1t would also tighten the la.
bors Of the courts and save money
to the taxpayers. Under this system.
before the Legislature would meet.
the department would send letters to
all the representatives asking them
what subjects they will be interested
in when they meet in Baton Rouge.
From the replies to these letters the
head Of the department would learn
just what laws r likely to be intro
duced, and would begin gathering in
formation. By the time the legislator
who 10 interested in. say child labor,
arrives at the capital. he would ind a
shelf all ready for him In the legisla-
tive reference department. He would
find there. first. say. critical data
that is, general information on the
work done On this line all over the
world; child labor wages, hours,
and their morals. Second. he
would find laws Of other States COW
ering the subject
This would be no experiment; the
reference department at
Madison, Wis, IL doing admirable
work. Beginning in 1901, the legiela-
tive librarian first established a clip
ping bureau. He added every kind Of
helpful material - fast a. possible.
His services proved to be 70 valuable
that his facilities were increased and

the department. Similar departments
have been established more recently

partment could be established In con-
nection with the State Library ct

Making Roadway

The Eveleth Construction Com
pany who have the contract for
laying the cement sidewalks are
making excellent Roadway and have
finished Camp street from the
Central avenue corner to the Lake
View Hotel corner. Second avenue
will be finished today on both sides
and First avenue is getting along
at rapid rate. Before Saturday
night one side of Sheridan street as
far as Second avenue will be laid
providing the weather does not in
terfere. The other side of the
street has been graded.
Considerable rock has been
struck in the grading of the south
side of Sheridan street near
Fenske's hardware and several days
will be required to drill and blast
the same.
. Both the city and telephone COM
pany are working hard to get the
pole lines from the streets and ave-
nues in order to keep out of the
way of the contractor. The walks
and curbs constructed so far
present a handsome appearance.
The Camp street curb is four feet
from the walk and the space be-
tween will be boulevarded for
grass, flowers and trees. All the
streets in the residence portion will
be treated in the same manner.
