Editorial,


This year there seems 10 be
q more thsn usually ardent
desire on the part Of MEM
bers-elect TO renovate aged
legislative machinery In the
interests Of economy. eff
cheney and speed.
In particular. number Of
members have urged that q
long step IN reform con be
taken by reducing the period
for introduction OF new bills
from so 10 30 days.
Such a change would give
more time for study Of and
action on bills. II would force
all interests. including state
department heads. 10 bring
proposed legislation into the
light Of day in time for Its
adequate scrutiny prior 10
statutory adjournment Of the
session.
This il no new proposal.
Members have mouthed about
II IN thu past. II would be an
attempt at reform which
probably would do much good.
II could do no harm because IL
involves a simple change in
