BALED LAW.
The secretary of state of Missouri
has been taking an inventory and re
ports that there are thirty-five bales
of Missouri laws on the books. To
give a better idea of the volume of leg
islation, the secretary states that a
good active reader, working eight
hours a day, including Sundays and
holidays, would be able to read the
Missouri laws in two years.
Missouri is older than the state of
Washington by a half century or so,
but the fact remains that in this
young state we nave almost as many
bales of laws and reports as Missouri
boasts. The Missouri secretary of
state suggests the very simple rem
edy of having the supreme court re
frain from writing opinions in cases
where the opinion would be of no
'general value. This suggestion is so
♦practicable and sensible that it is
worth passing on to our own law
makers and interpreters of law. It is
charged by attorneys of high stand
ing that the Supreme court of Wash
ington has rendered voluminous opin
ions month after month, practically
reiterating former decisions and set
ting them out at greater length, with
the result that Washington court de
cisions form a pretty good sized law
library.
It might be a good plan for the
courts to withhold long and labored
opinions, except in cases of general
interest, and the reduction of work
might be facilitated by having the
legislature meet in special session,
as has been urged, to repeal a few
bales of obsolete statutes.—Tacoma
Tribune.
