Show THE legislature LEGISLA it has come to pass in the order of things for another legislative body to commence for the enactment of laws for the benefit of this territory it is to be hoped that they will make a better record than did their predecessors of two years ago who neglected the really essential things of the territory and treated the people to luxuries there are many matters that the legislature should consider before the session is allowed to go too far of cheso should bo the passage of an law that an and every judge who happens to como along can not declare unconstitutional simply because of bome whim of his own farmers have got to he protected from stray animals and the latter also have got to be cared for another matter that should receive the earliest attention of the legislature is the protection of our ansh and game interests A good move was made in this direction by the last body but the law then enacted has proved to be insufficient to meet the occasion provi is should be made for the of all cpr bons having ponds which are directly or indirectly communicative with any boly or stream of public water in there is ansh protected b law the Leibl aturo must bear in mind also this timo that a very liberal appropriation must of necessity ba made for the territorial asylum tho shameful manner in which this institution was left by the last body is a lasting disgrace to them for two poor unfortunate beings have had to bo almost herded together for the want of proper room room that should have been provided for by money that to pay for luxuries it is to be hoped that such another scene will never be enacted again then acain the jaw in regard to the settling up of estates should be amended As it is now a poor widow loses almost every cent there is in her estate before it comoe out of the probate court this is a matter that should by all moans br attended 10 we think it would be a good aso for the legislature to cause an investigation vesti gation into the manner in which tho compiled laws were printed wo refer to tho shameful way in which the proofs were road and tho naan other defects connected with ahr work for which the lasos of the people have been paid out or the public treasury there is no doubt bat that erable trouble will ba made by tho few members sitting in the legislature who have been sent there by the gentile element of this territory but as chev are not numerically strong donough to hurt there is no fear of any serious complications we have great faith iu the present legislative b ody and we look to soa soma good work done by them in tho sixty days that they have to live |
