The abuse of legislation, of which rhe News ami Courier has Ihvii omplaining for many years, was he subject of Judge Alton 1?. 'arker's admirable address to the Vinerican Bar Association at its ecent meeting in St. Caul, Minn, knith Carolina has suH'ored, in! ommon with all other states of the Tnion,from too much legislation. | Efforts have been made from time I o time, to curtail the crop of stat- i ites with which our books are oaded every year by the Cieneral Assembly at Columbia. More than1 pages of new laws, we are old by Judge I'arkcr, are added to o the statute bceks each year, and t is utterly impossible to have any veil-ordered government as long as he country is Hooded with this vaste of words. During the years LSD!) and the Parliament of ireat Britian, legislating for 19 iwin nnn .o i?..? i i jn.\/J/IV 41V I IVnilU 41 I lit millions of dependents in other ends, passed an average of only forty-six general and only two hundred and forty-six special laws, ami' j&hgland is confessedly the best governed country in the world. Tn pointing out some of the sources of over-legislation, Judge Parker noted i>opular clamor as one )f the most efficient agencies in making new laws. Another fruit-; ful source of legislation is the, neglect or failure to enforce exist- i ing laws. Another cause of much law-making is the misdirected or ignorant zeal of the executive I >flicers who interfere with the I iourse of legislation, and still mother and favorite form of legis- i lation is that which is designed for j the henelit or at the behoof of a political party. We wish very much that every1 number of the General assembly of Purnlinn *? ?!! I VUIUII.IU, n tin 11 II ill WUVUI1U , next January, might make a study j nf Judge Parker's speech. There j will ls.> a good many new members in the next legislature of our state, j Most of them will go to Columbia with the idea of "reforming" some, if the evil conditions existing in :his state, and all sorts of schemes i will be suggested for the relief of purely local conditions, or for the! vttainment of personal ends. Our statute hooks are already packed .vith laws which should never have >een enacted. The state would he|' ar I letter otf without them. The idministration of justiee would he rastly promoted.
