on being rugged individualists and during the 187 years of their history as a nation they have produced some mighty individualistic laws. The nation’s talent foe producing unique and sometimes bizarre laws in the various states and cities is one of the despairs of purists who dream of a uniform legal code. Most of the odd laws date from the 19th and even the 18th century. But legislative bodies still manage to add a few per-

iodically. For example, in 1983 Washington’s Legislature made it a crime to transport lady bugs out of the state. Seems someone had been bugnapping them and shipping them to Claifornia. In the same session, the states lawmakers derailed an attempt to repeal Washington’s ban on carrying toy pistols. In 1962 New Jersey became the first state to require licensing of municipal planners. Racing horses within a quar-

ter mile of a church or school, or. selling soft drinks near a church or school, is unlawful in Arkansas. In Louisiana it is practically impossible to disinherit a parent or child, no matter how a will reads. Classic Examples Classic example of unique laws are Delaware’s whipping post and Texas’ right to divide itself into as many as four additional states. But few outside Illinois know about that

state’s proportional representation, which provides for cumulative voting for the lower house of the state legislature and allows a single voter to .cast as many as three votes. In Arizona a SIOO license is required for efforts to modigy or control the weather. Florida allows notary publics to perform marriages under an 1860 law. California’s agricultural code officially classifies bees as livestock. Another California law

makes it a crime to bet on th« outcome of an election. . Sheriffs Get Rich Mississippi has the nation’s highest paid sheriffs under a state law which designates them as tax collectors and allows them a percentage of all taxes collected. Some sheriffs earn as much as SIOO,OO a year. A newly adopted Mississippi law allows disqualification of a voter pir moral grounds. Everyone knows Nevada is the only state in the nation to per

mit all types of gambling. Less known is South Dakota’s law permitting betting at horse and dog race tracks despite a prohibition in the state’s constitution. Oregon's presidential primary act requires its secretary of state to place on the ballot the names of all persons he thinks might be contenders for presidential nominations of the major parties. Michigan still authorizes oneman grand juries despite a dec-ade'-Tong drive to repeal the law. Liquor Law Confusing In Montana liquor sale on Sunday is against the law but the act creating the state’s liquor control board allows it. It is also illegal in Montana to carry a frying pan on the open range with the intent of using it to obliterate livestock brands. Even if you have bacon and beans in the skillet, you are in trouble if there is cow or horse hair on the bottom. Two of the grand old odd laws went off the books in ihe.past two yeate.
