There Ought TO Be a Lawp

THE wisdom of the ancients has very little
i appeal to the members of the Industrial
Relations Commission. Verify they mis-
quote the Book OF Job, I'VE are the people;
and wisdom shall die with u.s."
The wisdom of the ancients. by a strange
freak OF fate, did not die with them. They
left II as the record OF their experience that.
in the words of Goethe, THE best govern
ment is that which teaches us TO govern
ourselves" The members of the commission
are rather of the opinion that the best gov
ernment is that which let's us interfere most
with the lives of others.
In the mass of platitudes, accusations, par
tisan argument and recommendations which
make up so much of the commissions re-
ports, the conspicuous thing is the emphasis
placed on law-making. There ought TO be
law!" sounds through every page Laws to
limit freedom and laws to force freedom on
those who do not want it; laws to abolish
poverty and laws to encourage home buying;
good laws and bad laws; laws for everything
from morals TO the money market are COW
ertly or openly suggested by this astounding
commission. 1t was once suggested by Gil
bert X. Chesterton that there would soon be
a law forbidding man to go out In the rain
without his goloshes.
The frenzy for passing laws is one of the
weaknesses of American character. Thou
sands OF unnecessary. ineffective laws are
passed each year. Is It any wonder that re-
spect for law. which respects itself 80 little,
should be waning?
There is another bit of wisdom the commits
sion might take to heart. 1t was spoken by
John Selden in the seventeenth century, and
mildly suggests that they that govern the
most make the least noise"

A strong effort is being made to have the present session of the general assembly repeal the
 Arkansas law providing death as a penalty for certain crimes. The Democrat editor believes in cap- ital punishment and has seen no
 reason in any of the arguments
 advanced by the opponents of
 the same to change his belief.
 But the editor is of the opinion
 that it might not be a bad idea
 to repeal the law in Arkansas.
 Our twenty years experience
 with Arkansas law has taught us that just two classes of men are ever legally executed here. One class are the negroes; the other class are the whites tCo poor to take advantage of all the ins and outs of the law, A man of means has never been executed in Ark ansas to our knowledge. Now we can eliminate the negro from the discussion because with the death sentence removed by law. the people of the community where the crime is committed will lynch said nigger just as sure as shooting" You can gamble on that with a certainty of winning 99 times out of 100 And if none of the whites are to be hung but the poor and friend less, we favor letting them al live.

A bill has passed the Legisla- ture to make newspapers print at the top of each statement pub lished under the Publicity Act the cost of publication in these words: This publication costs the taxpayers S--." If the Legislature wanted to be fair; if it was an act to disseminate knowledge instead of an exhi- bition of spleen, why was not the cost of publishing the 1. & R, Amendments included? It cost the taxpayers $76, 900 to publish the 1. & R. Amendments two years ago. and it cost them $45.- 900 to publish them last fall. So here is an item of $l21 ,000 that 1t has cost the taxpayers to ini- tiate and adopt four measures only. It cost the taxpayers $30,- 900 each to adopt them. and the Legislature has virtually nullified two of them.

Up to the present time we have heard no demand for the repeal of the Publicity Act passed by the voters at the last election, from those who voted for 1t, nor have we heard a good reason given yet for it's repeal by its opponents. Where 1t has been tried out it has given the public information as to what their money is being spent for at 800 per cent less cost than they could obtain in any other way, and therefore unless public off cials are afraid to have the light shine on their acts, there can be no reason to object to it.
