The prevailing obsession seems to be that statutes, like the erops, enrich the country in pnqmrtiou to their volume. Unfortunately for this notion, however, the average legislator does not always know what he is sowing and Ihe harvest which frequently results is made up of strange and unexpected plants whose appearance is as astonishing to the legislator as it is disconcerting to his constituents. This situation, I am bound to say, is not wholly unrelated to a mole or less prevalent superstition entertained by the electorate that previous training in legislative affairs is a superfluous adjunct of the legislative mind, which should enter upon its task with the sweet inexperience of a bride coming to the altar. As rotation in crops if 1 may return to the agriculture figure improves; the soil, so rotation in office is supposed-timprove the government. The comparison, however, is illusory since the legislator resembles the farmer who cultivates the erops rather than) the erops themselves, and previous experience, even of the most thorough,! character, on the part of the farmer lias never hitherto been supposed to destroy his availability for continued service. I think it was the late Mr. Carlyle, who is reported to have made' the rather cynical observation that the only acts of parliament which were entitled to commendation were those by which previous acts of parliament were repealed. I am not prepared to go quite that far, though I am prepared to say that in my judgment an extraordinarily large proportion of the statutes which have been passed from time to time in our various legislative bodies might be repealed without the slightest detriment to the general welfare. rI'he trouble with much of our legislation is that the legislator has mistaken emotion for wisdom, impulse for knowledge, and good intenHe means well is a sweet and wholesome tion for sound judgment. field of ethics.
