SOME IDEAS ABOUT LAWS

No office in the whole political body
of the state should lbe so highly re.
spected and honOred as the STAT leg
islature. Men who are chosen 10 Lake
the laws of the state must be expect
ed to be the wisest ald the most ma
ture and finished men of the commun-
tiles by which they are sent. Laws
also must be expected to he what the
name implies, something laid down,
something fixed and permanent.
1t is a peculiar feeling with which
men who keep this in mind look upon
the large list of bills which have been
introduced to the legislature during
the past few days.
February 8 had a regular food OF
bills; 109 House bills were presented.
Of these fifty.five begin with TIE
words: "A bill for an act to amend
The same day saw 81 new Senate
bills; of these 81 begin with the same
words: "A bill for an act to amer.d.'
If one keeps in mind ttat among
the other bills quite a number arc
reading: "A bill for an act to re.

the other bills, he necessarily

the work of former legislators.

The main reason why SO many bill;

undoubtedly, the practice of praisins

INSPECTION BILL
IS ACTED upon
Places Fees at Point Within the
Recent Supreme Court
Decision.

After travelling around in commit
tee for several weeks, Senator
Kretschmar's oil inspection bill was
passed by the senate yesterday with
out a dissenting vote. The salaries
which were raised slightly, were put
back at amounts allowed under the
old law.
The chief inspector will be paid
$500 a year and his deputies sal
arlies range from $50 to 500 a month,
according to the number of barrels of
oil inspected.
Tests provided are practically the
same. The fee is 7A cents a barrel,
or less. Fifty gallons to constitute a
barrel. a..
The ord law recently was invalidat.
ed by the supreme court because the
fees were revenlk producing. It was
held by the c0urfthat the fees Should
owe only the cost Of inspection.

RETURN BILL
TO COMMITTEE
Chiropractor License Measure
Goes to Ways and Means.

Senator Englund was unable yes
terday to get the bill licensing chiro'
p%ractors to a vote in the senate. Sew
eral members raised the issue that
the bill was not clear enough in its
;terminology and should be re-referred
to some committee and be rewritten
in certain essential points.
The author of the bill objected to
the chairs ruling sending it 10 the
committee on judiciary. He moved
that it be sent to the committee on
ways and means, which motion pre-
vailed.
Senator Rowe, a physician ana
chairman of the committee on public
health, declared that he medical pro-
fession were taking no hand o in
opposing the measure. He preferred
having the bill go to some other com
mittee.
There seems to be a sentiment fav.
orable to licensing the chiropractors,
bur several! of the members want the
bills language made more definite.

RED TAPE.

Washington, Feb. 1O.-To inspect a
little postoffice in far-away Guam,
which pays its postmaster only 1926
a year is the object of a $4,000 mile
journey which Postal Inspector B. p.
Smith of this city, is making, simply
to satisfy the demands of law.
A legal technicality precludes the
inspection of the Guam postoffice by
inspectors from the Philippines. The
inspection of the Guam office will be
the first since 1908.

paragraph which is not strictly neces
sary, and would in all things leave tc
the people as much freedom of action
as is compatible with the rights Of
others, it would deserve the highest
esteem of the whole population. II
would also live up to the glorious
principles of liberty, of which we al
boast, but which we do not practice
enough.
There is another very widely spread
error which leads to an unreasonable
multiplication Of laws; it is the idea
that laws can be and must be the rem
edy of every evil.
One finds short sheets in a hotel
bed; he demands a law that bed
sheets in hotels must be sever or
eight feet long; a COW strays into a
neighbours melon patch; therefore d
law is proposed for such a case.

lars: Mr.. Everson has his bill for the
investigation of every convent. The
boys like to have some fun with a
bridegroom and the bridegroom wish
es to keep it secret till it is over:
therefore a law is needed to take out
the license ten days before the mar.
riage AID thus ad infinitum.
There are men who forget entirely
that we need common horse-sense
even more than laws. Sound common
sense and a good public conscience
are more essential t. the welfare of
every community than laws which en-
ter into every particular ase
Nothing undermines the authority
and sanctity of the laws as much as
uncalled for, unnecessary laws.
Wherever a state or other society has
too many and often strictly useless
and arbitrary laws, all, even the best
and most necessary laws fall into cob
tempt among the people. Laws will
be despised and t~respassed most fire.
guently when the citizens have come
to the conviction that they unneces-
sarily restrict their freedom and their
God given rights. Laws must be SO
that we can see in them the. divine
laws which God implanted into man
by nature; and not SO as to bring to
us the conviction, they are merely
the product of the hobby of some men
or OF some SOcletleS.
If the members Of the legislature,
would always keep these principle.
in mind, our law books would be a
great deal smaller, and the legisla-
ture would usually be able to finish
all it's work within less than a month.
Then could the lawmakers bring to
their constituents the happy news
that the expense of the legislature
has been cut down wonderfully. We
think, this would make them all mucn
more popular at hone than all the
bills which they introduce in order to
make their people understand that
they are wide awake statesmen.
