Maryland Legislature a bill to
cut off of the statute books
about four hundred laws that
are obsolete. Could not Della
ware profit by such. Haven't we
too many laws, laws that are lit
tie or rarely ever made known
to the public. United States
Senator Reed has appealed to
the people to live under a sane
condition and do away with so
many enactments of the legisla-
tive bodies of this country.
The Centreville Record says:
'These suggestions should be
given very careful consideration
by the Maryland legislature and
an effort should be made to clear
up the statutes of Maryland.
During this session a curb
should be placed on passing laws
The making of new laws is an
easy matter but it is not always
possible to advance the material
or moral condition of the state
by law.
''Bills very frequently are
drawn with little regard to laws
already on the statute books and
in many instances little thought
is given to the ultimate effect of
a law that is the pet hobby of
some person or of organization.
Let the motto of the Maryland
Legislature of 1927 be Fewer
and Better Laws"
Along this line William p.
Helm,Jr., who specializes in gov
eminent statistics, in an article
in the American Mercury, en-
titled, '"The Plague of Laws, "de-
clares that total number of laws
theoretically operative in the
United States, including city,
county, state and national, ap-
proximates 10 million, and that
the time has come for a new
Justinian to junk the whole COM
plicated mess and to substitute
a simple code, like that of the
Roman lawgiver.

the situation, the Salem, Oregon

"The growth of bureaucracy
can be traced directly to the ex.

him with &C lrn and contempt be-
cause he acts like a little pig:
but his primitive urge should be
checked,
When he reaches for food at the
table before anyone else has been
served. either make him wait until
last or else tell him to run along
to the kitchen and eat there until
he can behave like q gentleman.
Be sure to let him understand
that he can come back to the
family table without further re.
proaches as soon as he feels
able to restrain his piggish ways.
1t is this comeback that drives
the lesson home.
Stinginess and greed are all
too common faults among grown.
ups as well as children. These
faults seem worse in children,
because they have not learned
to camouflage.
II your little boy or girl is

popularity and adverse criti-

There are ways and means of
routing out these traits, and the

DUNCAN is greedy and Evelyn

people say, HE Is exactly like his
father" His fathers sisters
chuckle to each other and say,
THAT stingy little Evelyn! The

The sad part about 1t is that
what the in-laws say is perfectly
true.
There is a difference between
greedihess and stinginess. After
Duncan has all of anything that
he wants he Is more than willing
to give the rest away. In fact,
he is quite generous with. what
ever is left over after he has been
too completely supplied.
Evelyn is never greedy, but she
had rather let things go to waste
than give them away or divide
with others. She doesn't want
anyone to touch her dolls. to ride
her tricycle. or to have q single
piece Of her candy. OF course,
Duncan grabs part of the candy
and Grams it in his mouth before
she can call for protection; but
no other child ever shares the
good things of her life-not il
she can help it.
