.BI1L-DRAFr1NG ABROAD.

AS a matter of fact the United
States, for many years, has been en-
titled to the distinction of being the
only country having popular lawmak-
ing bodies which do not employ epe-
cialists in statutory law to assist
them, writes Charles Frederick Carter,
in the American Review of Reviews
for May, in an article on First Aid
for Legislators.'' France. Germany
and other continental countries have
long given their lawmakinE bodies
such assistance. Away back In 1887
the British government appointed a
barrister of experience to draft bills
for the administration. In 1869 the
importance Of the task assigned to this
ofncial had become SO fully recognized
that parliament reorganized the work
by creating the office of "parliamen-
tary counsel to the treasury" The
counsel, who receives q salary of $12,-
500 a year. has an assistant at $4,000
a year and a treasury allowance for
ONCE expenses and the payment Of
such outside legal assistance as he may
require.
