Our Legislative Madness

IN the United States we have gone Well-algh mad
legislatively." says Lews z. Lswes, wsrden Of Sing Sing
penitentiary, and one Of the most celebrated American
authorities and students Of crime, in q recent book.
"Instead Of a few clearly defined laws we have
thousands upon thousands Of ambiguously written laws
Of whose meaning and intent there is a difference OF
cpfnion even among our leading jurists," Warden
Lawes writes. Frequently these laws do not represent
the real wishes Of the majority and they become dead
letters, or even worse, sources Of graft which corrupt
police, the courts and the citiEenIy.
"Legislators as a rule have little or no knowledge
Of the great fundamental problems involved in crime
The whole body or criminal law needs revision both In
practice and principle. Laws should be made so that
they will function along commo sense lines rather
than along technical lines understood only by lawyers
and judges. Really effective laws would sni should
reach es per cent Of those who commit crime instead
Of only about two per cent"
Any observant person must see the logic Of this au'
thority's statement. In the United States IL Is no. an
common for trials TO be spread out over irterminable
periods Of time. while lawyers INTRODUCES technicalitlss
and wrangIe over abstract legal red tape. Fewer laws
With enforcement, not more laws without enforcement,
should be a national slogan.

MORE GLARING HEADLIGHTS
(HousLon Poat.D ispatchl.

Few who drive much at night have failed TO neticr
the widespread violation Of the law against having
glazing headlights on automobiles. To the casual OBJ
server 1t looks as though this law was being honored
more in the breach htan in the observance. Official
testimony Of the extent to which the law is ignored
comes from James L. Hill. headlight engineer of the
state highway department, wh0 declares that In the
first year the measure was In effect only 35 per cent
OF the accidents to automobiles occurred at night. but
that during the past year ~ per cent Of the mishaps
came at night. "Abuses OF the headlight law are re-
sponsble for the increase in accidents after dark tha
engineer states. A more vigorous enforcement Of this
act is very much needed. Motorists should be gwen TO
understood that they must take the law seriously.
There is not much doubt but that many drivers, after
complying with the requirement to have their ligh'S
tested BY official testing station, 60 home and exchange
the lenses sanctioned By the law, for those that mako
a glaring light. IL Is not TO be believed that testing
stations are putting their o. X. on the lenses Of many
cars that dash about the country each night with head
lights that would do credit to the mosuls Of the rail.
II is OF high importance that attention be given to the
regulation Of the lighting on cars. There is a great
increase in driving at night, since cars have become
much more numerous and roads better. In the inter-
est Of safety on the highways. those who deliberately
and selfishly use glazing lights should be made to feel
the full penalty Of the law against that offensc.
