LESS LAWS AND MORE BENEFITS
Tlie .sialeni' iit made by Represents
tile James I' Daly in an interview ill
Seattle recently t" tlie effect that tie
present session of the Alaska Territor
iul Legislatin' will probably puss mor*
legislative uels than the previous see
si"ti, t ills 1.1 mind that tlie vasty mas.
"f bills emanating from the Inst legis
lature, while overwhelming in volume
were worth but little in tin way ,.i
benefits to the territory The good
intent of the lust legislative body is
not to In doubted. Tin worked like
Trojans to lie sure and the volume of
proposed enactments indicated (lint
each and every one of the legislators
was doing- his best to see how many
hills he could put through. Yet, with
al. when the work of that ambitious
and tireless crew had been summed up
if became evident tlint as far ns bene
lits an concerned thei: mighty efforts
were comparable t" those of that fabled
mountain whose labors brought forth
the mouse tattle blame attaches to
the hotly for ibis. They did their best
to meet I ha crying legislative needs of
the country and the difficulties under
which the) labored should he dis
counted in thetr favor. Still It must
not lie overlooked that the results
obtained were but trifling. The haste
with which the bills were prepared, in
'In- majority of cases, gate but little
me to a thorough Investigation of the
esired in i ds and many measures pass
I display i woeful lack of knowledge
f the conditions which they were in
tended to remedy. It is therefore to
In- hoped that the members of the pre
-•ent body will remember the time
i roll'll adage that "haste makes waste"
ml by learning thoroughly the re«iulr
ed needs ind so framing their mens
uros as not to nullify the benefits which
might lie ohtnined therefrom, give us
results at least commensurate with
(lie volume of their labors The ten
dency on the part of the embryonic
Solons to rush headlong Into the pre
paration of hills to tit conditions which
are hut indifferently understood is to
lie deplored as is also the failure to
ascertain the validity of all proposed
measures
The statement of Representative
I inly, however, leads to the suspicion
liat the members of the present body
,re already displaying the same ten
dency to over-haste, as indicated bv
the statement that the volume of busi
i css would probably exceed that of the
previous legislature, 1ml we trust that
i lie present body will ultimately see the
wisdom of going slow with the result
that we mnv have less taws and more
benefits
