Show AS the session of the Legislature draws toward a close, the legislative machine guns and French 75's are getting the range and are pouring in a fucilade of bills and billets which keep the senators sena-tors and representatives who are trying to hold legislation down to actual needs, busy to even read them, we imagine. At least they have gotten got-ten beyond the capacity of an overworked country editor to assimilate. While this storm of bills no doubt contain many measures which, if carefully considered and revised, will be an improvement, the safest course, unless the lawmakers are able to fully satisfy themselves that the various measures meas-ures are wholesome and necessary is to kill them on suspicion. If this is done in a majority of cases, cas-es, we will be no worse off than we were before, while if we try to experiment with too much new legislation we may find ourselves in deep water. m 1 |
