THE LAWMAKING MANIA

Uncle Sam is afflicted with the law.
making disease. His case, is the
. worst in hisory Of the world.
The output is SO large the law
libraries cannot house it, the lawyers
cannot digest or assimilate it.
It is said to be q fact that the 49,
state legislatures enact more laws
than are even proposed by FIVE great
nations.
The ratio before the war was fifty
new laws in our country to one by
any great nation of Europe.
It takes $50 large volumes to hold
in printed form the Supreme Court
opinions on questions Of constitu-
tionality
The library of Columbia Univer-
sity contains 100, 900 volumes and in
creases at rate of 5000 year.
Why not stop manufacturing so
many laws, try to enforce some Of
them and repeal some Of the others :?
A smaller legislative output would
be an evidence Of political sanity.
