Stupidity
TDITORIAL)

The state breathed q sigh Of
relief when the legislature
finally brought its 18th session
TO close this month.
There wasn't much TO be
thankful for.
But. at least, the legislature
had done all the harm II could
that was what the people
thought. But the people were
wrong.
"The evil that men do live
after them" And 50 II is
with the legislature.
Tho legislature i dead and
buried, but
II now comes out that the
legislature. In passing the new
election law. entirely forgot TO
consider the school code.
And. as n result. there are
hopeless contradictions.
The new election law specific
ally provides that the governing
board OF any school district de-
string 20 submit any PROPOSE
ton to the voters shall certify
the proposition 10 the election
board In the form Of a ballot
title Of NOT TO EXCEED 25

This. no doubt, Ia an excellent
idea-in itself.
But the school code makes II
mandatory that the proposition
be plIrased in such explicit
and verbose--terIns that II IL
absolutely impossible TO couch
any bond or special levy propo-
sition in less than so or 100
words.
This. Of course. threatens the
legality OF NIL school bond is.

This. however, would probably

on the part of both the legis.
