AIDS TO GOOD LEGISLATION.

Among the things shat tend to pre-
which often make for the passage Of
foolish ones. are the haste with which
bills are rushed through the lcgisla-
lures. without opportunity for proper
examination by the men who are to
vote on them. and the fac that in 4
few states is there provision for an
examination Of a bill competent au-
thority for the purpose Of having its
constitutionality passed on. The fol-
lowing from the New York Times dis
cusses some methods which are being
adopted to remedy both Of these de-
fects:
"Assemblyman Eisncr has proposed
Ia constitutional amendment prescrib-
ing that bills shall nct he damned
through hut shall be N the desks of
the legislators az least three calen-
dar legislative DAYS prior to final pas
sage. unless the governor shall have
certified to the necessity of Immediate
passage. 1t guards. also. against
'iokcrs' by fcrhiddins amendment up
on the last reading of il hill. More
over, each house of the legislature
shall have authority to require cpin-
ions OF the Judges of the court of ar-
peals upon important hills pending
in the legislature before their third
reading as to their constitutionality.
Private hills, Of course. are excepted.
Certain states. like Maine and Mas
sachusetts. already have laws requir-
ing opinions by the courts of appeals
upon the constitutionality IT pending
measures. Assemhlyinan Eisner calls
attention TO the word important in
his amendment. which leaves it open
to the cour tn reject as unimportant
a. bill submitted to it, He urges that
the adoption of this provision would
stop much of the talk about recall
Of judges and recall Of decisions.
Within a single year the New York
court of appeals has decided fourteen
cases purely on questions of constitu-
tional law: when desirable ends are tn
be gained in the public interest. such
decisions are disappointing."

The house has passed. and the sem
ate is likely to pass the amended inn
migration bill as 1t came from the
hands Of the conference committee.
The literacy test is retained in the
bill, and It is about as useless a thing
for the purpose Of keeping undesir-
ables out of the country as anything
that could we'll be devised. There is
no reason in the world why a man of
good character and industrious habits
should not be admitted to this country
whether he al read or not. II he
can't read he will learn, il he Is not
too old. and If he does not learn his
children will. and they will be as good
citizens az any OF us. The only pur-
pose of the literacy test was to restrict
the importation Of a certain class Of
labor into the country.

The case Of General Sickles is a sad
one. He was a capable soldier. and
so far as the public is informed, he
has meant to be a good citizen. lie
had the respect and confidence OF men
who had been his personal and mill
tary associates to such a degree that
he was made the custodian of a large
fund devoted to the erection of civil
war monuments. He Is now short
some $4,000. and a warrant for his
arrest has been issued. Apparently.
like a good many other men who have
ability in other lines. the general has
had no conception Of how to handle
money. There are plenty Of such men,
men Of fine character. of ability. but
who have never learned how to keep
their expenses within their incomes.
and who are consequently laboring
under a perpetual load of debt. 1t
has been unfortunate for General
Sickles that he had the funds OF other
people at his disposal. To a man of
the temperament which he appears to
have possessed it would be a simple
thing to use a few hundreds or thou
sands Of this money now and again.
and the question Of how 1t was to be
replaced would. by such a man. be cas-.
lily ignored as n Of the unpleasant
problems that need not he solved to-
day. To change this attitude in a per-
son Of mature years is almost impos-
sible. To cultivate the business sense
in a person the subject must he caught
young. Within certain limits this fac
ulty can be developed in practically
every person, not to the extent which
will make him a Morgan or a Rookie
Teller, hut enough to enable him to
keep out Of a lot Of trouble. and 70
get a little ahead. This sort of train
ing Is often overlooked In the manage
ment Of children. One Of the worst
things that can happen to a boy is to
be given all the money he wants to
spend. Perhaps mex to that is to
permit him to have o n at all.

THE NATIONS PROPERTY.

One of the state exchanges tells Of
an incident in it's neighborhood which
illustrates the need for a sauer policy
governing the disposal of the property
of the nation. According to the pub
liShcd statement the homestead fling
ON a claim in Burke county was can
celled for some reason not given. and
the land reverted, Of course. 70 the
possession Of the federal government.
The land had been held under the fill
ing for several years. About 100 acres
had been cultivated for some time.
and buildings worth some $4,000 had
been built. 1t is scarcely likely that
property would willingly abandon IL.
but there appears to have heen IN
element in the Ease which caused the
cancellation Of the claim. and the re-
version of the land to the government.
Being again public property il was
subject to a new filing. and such fling
was made. For all that appears to
the contrary the new fling is good.
and the new claimant will come into
possession OF a valuable farm in a
settled community where land is worth
as much as 1t is in most parts OF the
state. The former claimant will
doubtless be permitted to remove his
buildings. and he may be able to col
lect something for the breaking OF the
land. But II the land is considered
on the basis Of raw prairie 1t has a
present cash value Of q good deal Of
money. and some chance person who
learns by accident that the original
filing has been cancelled. and who has
given no value whatever for the prop
erty. receives a gift Of a valuable farm
which could have been sold for per-
haps $4,000.
This is one Of the absurdities OF the
working of the homestead law. The
law as 1t was intended was a splendid
one. Its purpose was to encourage
the settlement of the frontier districts.
in the great homestead states had no
value until settlement gave It value.
There were millions Of acres Of It. and
it was exceedingly desirable that set
Element be made upon 1t. The giving
away Of land under those conditions
was a wise thing. But there is no more
reason why the government should give
away a valuable farm in a settled dis.
trict where land is already at a pre-
MUM than there Is hat the first
passerby should be permitted to take
possession Of the postof7ce in Grand
Forks and use it for a residence on
the score that 1t is public property,
and he has as much right to 1t as any,
body.
The whole system, as applied to such
property. is wrong. There are still
districts 30 far from means Of COM
munication, and SO surrounded by 9TH
er conditions that the land in them Is
not specially desirable at present, and
into which settlers would be unwill-
Ing to move IL they had to pay money
for their land. In such cases the reg
ulations Of the homestead Law may
very properly be continued. But the
public land Of the United States be-
longs to all the people, and it is not
just nor expedient that any Of It that
has a present and very substantial
cash value should he given to this or
that individual. There is no more
reason why the government should
give n of Its citizens $4,000 worth OF
land than there is that 1t should give
him $4,000 in cash.
