Yesterday l called st The seerstasy
Of statss . sffies anA asksa then what
it wssld cost 70 file so.e papsrs 10
their office. The young nan Who ans
wsred The phose gave ne the csst Of
filing the papsrs, sad tAsn added 'Of

psseas - essy then. The laws passed
BY Ne lsst legislature are sow in
fierce. They have never bees printed
in full in . singie psblie doeunent
asd the original copies, are locked i.
the vsuk u the secretary Of state,
with . law preventing hi. from al
lowing them 10 leave his office, or to
be handled BY anyone save certain
employees in that office. How are
the people to know how to obey these
laws under such conditions! II will be
September l, II not the 18th, before
they are printed in book form, and
it will be October l, and perhaps later,
before these books are circulated and
then the circulation will only be to
the attorneys and others who purchase
the books. The masses Of people have
NO way whatever Of aseertaining what
now laws are put into effect, or what
old laws are repealed. And yet every
two years our legislature sits for months
and changes the society rules which
govern their personal transactions and
liberties making penalties for their
violation.
A. . further illustration the last
assembly passed 100 bills. OF this
number l57 were signed by the esv-
ernof in toto. Eleven were signed in
