Legislative Laches

For seven years past, a great
deal has been said about the mex
cusable defects in the administra-
ton of Florida laws, particularly
those enacted for the protection Of
life and property. General" Gil
christ, in making his campaign
for governor, was persistent and
emphatic in declaring against
those technicalities. which are U.s.
ed to effect the escape of criminals
from the penalties which they de-
serve. AS the people elected him,
it followed that they endorsed his
viws.
In his first message to the legis-
lature, he reiterated what he had
ture, he reiterated what he had
said on the stump and did his
best to impress upon the members
the great Importance Of enactng
measures to eliminate the evils
complained of. But the only thing
that the legislature did in this be-
half was to authorize the governor
to appoint a commission of able
lawyers to consider the subject
and to prepare and submit bills
for correcting the evils.
This commission was duly ap-
pointed and consisted of Judge
Whitfield of the supreme court,
Hon. w. A. Blount of Pensacola
and Hon. John C. Cooper of Jack,
sonville. They met and, after duo
and earnest consideration, drew
up and submitted several laws
which, in their opinion, would &C
far towards accomplishing the
objects desired. The proposed
new laws were printed and giver
wide circulation and they me-
with general approval.
After this, Governor Gilchrisr
called the circuit judges to Tai
lahassee and, at his request, they
also prepared and submitted sew
eral laws designed to eliminat,
technicalities and expedite justice

Will the Florida legislature so
handicap an industry that brings
ten millions of dollars into the
State annually, and represents in
taxable investments over six mil
lions of dollars, as to practically
force those engaged in the indus
try to quit their businesses, and
work a hardship on those now de-
pendant upon that industry for a
livelihood? That will be the re-
suit if the drastic bills affecting
seacoast fishing that are now be-
fore the legislature become laws.
1t is all right to regulate fishing
in a reasonable way to conserve
the fish, and yet not anihilatc the
industry, but none of the bills 50
far proposed will accomplish that
end.

Wauchula Advoc a e II h e
present legislature gives promise
of being just an average lcglsla-
ture-simply this and nothing
more. The majority Of members
have already shown that they
think more of furnishing political
snaps for their friends shan they
do of economizing. The people OF
the state felt that probably there
was need for half a dozen new
laws and the amending of lew
old ones, but there has already
been bills enough introduced to
govern a continent, if they were
of the proper nature. We are he
ginning to think Editor Jordan
was right when he said the legisla-
ture should be done away with.

Lakeland Telegram The edi-
tor of this paper has frequently
expressed the opinion that every
bird is worthy of protection, the
most Objectionable more than
counterbalancing the evil it does
by its usefulness. We may have
made a mental reservation in the
case of the buzzard; but now
comes the federal bureau of ami
NAL industry and enters p lea for
that much maligned fowl, declar-
ing that it also is productive of
more good than evil. AS this
cannot be said about all legisla-
tors, we would suggest that the
Legislature leave the buzzard
alone.

met two years ago and
did nothing to remove these cry
ing evils.
Now we have another legisla-
ture in session, and to it have been
submitted by Governor Trammell
the same recommendations that
Governor Gilchrist made to the
two legislatures that met during
his administration. Will this leg
islature do any more than its three
predecessors to remedy these evils,
to surround human life with adj
.ditional SAFE guards, expedite JUS
tice and increase the certainty OF
punishment for those who violate
the laws.
We doubt it. No member in the
time allowed for the session, can
even read all of the great multi
tude of bills that are introduced
and which but serve to take his
attention from matters of the
greatest importance to the entire
state. His attention is distracted
not by these bills alone, but by the
output of the political mill which
always begins grinding as soon as
the legislature convenes. We,
therefore, think that the remedy
is to abolish the legislature.

Come to think of it, Lake
county, once the home of we Her
aid editor and one of the most
progressive counties of the State,
ought to feel very kindly towards
former governor, Albert w. Gill
christ, whose next step on the po-
litical ladder will be to represent
Florida in the United States Sen
ate. While governor, GilchriSt,
amongst the appointments it fell
to his lot to make, gave the two
highest to Lake county men. He
appointed w. V. Knott, Comp
troller, and j. C. Lunning, State
Treasurer, both from Lake, and 1t
would seem that that county
would feel that it was highly hon

that will not give the former gov
ernor a good vote for Senator III
