CARELESS LEGISLATION.

CARELESS LEoIsLATiON..
Des Motnes Register and Leader: In
practically every proceeding In court,
since tho adjournment OF the legis-
lature. attack has been made upon the
validity Of new laws because Of care
lessness>
In some instances It has been the
carelessness of those who wrote the
laws. and In other cases the careless
ness Of those who had them in keep
ing after they were written.
The emphasis put by the attorney
general, IN the Injunction suit in
volving the validity Of the proposed
capitol grounds extension, on the
proposition that part Of an act may
be invalid, and yet the essential pur-
pose OF the act be not affected, is q
confession that this important piece
OF legislation was not as carefully
guarded as 1t should have been.
It has been demonstrated in too
many instances that the duties fall
ing to the Judiciary committees Of the
house and senate cannot properly be
performed by those committees In
the hurry Of a short legislative SEES.
sion, into which hundreds Of bills are
hastily and unpreparedly intro
duced.
The cost to Iowa Of doing in the
court what should have been done
in the Legislature is becoming a serf-
Gus matter, to Jay nothing OF the
disappointment and disgust the state
experiences when important measures
are finally set aside for want Of q lit.
tie proper attention at the right time
on the part Of men charged with the
responsibility.
From this 1t would seem that even
In Des Moines, the belief exists that
the recent legislature over.stepped the
bounds In It's law-making proclivities
and In view Of the fact that 1t Is the
capitol grounds extension controversy
which is causing the administration
considerable embarrassment, 1t might
also e that the editorial in the
Des Moines paper deals with the fact
that the legislature passed a bill which
was clearly not in accord with the
constitution.

New Orleans, La, October 9Th That
tha United States in the last month Of the

Of the Isthmian Canal Commission are con-
WINGED that an understanding has been
reached whereby the Government Of Great
Britain will build the canal for which the
United States sought al option. It is said
plans for the work already have been drawn.
The report that the Colombian canal,
