Uniformity in State Laws.
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.
Copyright, 1881

When I studied geography I found
that Illinois was blue, Missouri was
deep green and Indiana a birds egg
blue.
The first time l crossed the state line,
on a visit to Terre Haute, 1 was sur
prised to discover that the country in
Indiana was the same color as that of
Illinois.
The division of the territory of this
nation into states is purely artificial
There is no more difference between
the New Workers. and the Pennsyl-
vanians than there is between the peo-
pie of the boroughs of Manhattan and
the Bronx We are nation OF homo
geneous population.
Our state system has some advan-
tages. perhaps. but when 1t comes TO
law making it's effect is ludicrous and
bothersome.
New York, for instance. requires two
witnesses to a will; Connecticut and
some other states require three; and II
a man makes a will in New York with
two witnesses. and therein disposes OF
his Connecticut property, 1t is invalid
in the latter state.
A couple married in New YORK are
not regarded as duly wed in Wisconsin
where they ask more questions before
granting a license.
L
and remarry in New York you may be
guilty of bigamy. as the courts in the
latter state have the right to refuse
to recognize your divorce.
Some years ago New Jersey granted
the maker of a promisorry note the
ancient privilege of three days OF
grace; while in New York this priv
ilege was denied. While this inconsis-
tency has been remedied, there remain
many other discrepancies In the laws
| of the two states regarding negotiable
paper.
Thirty states have passed workmen',
compensation acts, and all are differ
| ent.
| Cold storage food shipped from Chi.
cago to New York may pass through

sylvania, New Jersey and New YORK
and 1t will be impossible to comply
with the cold storage laws of one state
without violating those of another.
| Stock swindling and fraudulent pro-
motion prohibited in one state. are per-
mitted In another
These are samples of the confusing
and contradictory state laws. which
promote litigation. fraud and injustice
! 1t Is to be hoped that the commission
whose object is to promote uniformity
in state laws. will IN time be able te
reduce the hodge-poage of local lawi
into some semblance of uniformity.
