GEO. F. MEYERS RENSSELAER, INDIANA Obnoxious Laws By James C. Kelly Contempt for law is characteristic of the American people. Petty legislation, as a rule, is respected to the extent with which it conforms with the popular sense of justice. Disregard for law becomes more and more pronounced as the succeeding bodies of law-makers write volumes of statutes, a practice which the people tolerate because they do not propose that they shall be seriously affected thereby. It is not difficult to explain the remarkable growth of the law-making habit. To support a measure which he knows will be ignored in his community involves no great mental stress upon the part of a legislator, especially when such support may mean votes for his own pet scheme or may mean political support from some set of faddists. Our disrespect for law has, in fact, been the inspiration for myriads of new laws which are made only to be openly violated. ■ ■ ■ , A recent and growing sentiment for less legislation and more -f law observance is a hopeful indication. Such a reform might work a hardship on the professional faddists, but in the end it would insure content and.justice for the masses. Xip y It may be impossible to respect certain legislation, but it is possible, and also important, to enforce and observe the very laws which are most obnoxious. Once the people are inconvenienced by an undesirable statute, they will be quick to demand its repeal.—Adv.
