A Judge Criticizes Anti- BevolveV Laws At the recent annual meeting of the National Rifle As- 1 tlon Judge Joseph E. Corrlgan, Chief Magistrate of York City, turned tlie jearchllght of his expenience on **** ,, .g Sullivan Law, which forbids the general possession T volvers and pistols. The Sullivan Law Is often held up ''model of legislative excellence by crime reformers agit- *tlng for similar laws In other parts of the nation. According to Judge Corrlgan, the law has been a "flat d absolute failure." It was passed In the hope of reducing Il!!mictdes but they have Increased ever since Its Inception. d he says, the law "disarms the reputable citizens for the ta tit ot the thug, and hold-ups are now a much safer pas- [•" than before. Every cItUen is entitled to... .have a gun |« the protection of his home; the underworld has no trou¬ ble getting its guns." He states tlmt defendants brought before him have dis- pUyed permits to carry weapons. Irrespective of the fact that tbey had criminal records. It is to be hoped that Judge Corrlgan's remarks come to ... attention of those who are now busy seeking anti-gun relation in other states. Restrictive legislation of any kind u usually a failure: restrictive legislation which seeks to make a crimitxal of any citizen who possesses a gun Is a leg¬ islative monstrosity. Taxes For Buses -j\-.':^X.-'"^:''^'^-' A recent compilation by the National Motor Bus Division of the American Automobile Association shows that taxes nald bv comiuon-carrler motorcoach companies increased 82 ner cent between 192'3 and 1928. These assessments against •he bus were based on various factors, including value of use of highways, potential use of highways, actual use of hlgh¬ wavs and all special taxes. The average bus pays an annual UX ci $311.81-24 times that paid by the average private car. It is often charged that buses are wearing out highways tor which thav do not pay. but this is largely, nowadays, un- hiitifled The bus has become an Important service Industry -id like all service Industries Its place In the community u s taxpayer la rightly being on a sound and stable basis. Need Better Laws—Not More Laws This country U surfeited with laws.. There are so many statutes that it ia utterly Impossible for tbe average cltUen to be conversant with them, even superficially. This super¬ fluity of sUtutory law tends to lower general respect for law. It should be the purpose of all legUlaUve bodies to keep down to the mlnmum the number of legislative enactments. Fewer laws, and laws of better quality. Is the supreme need of the hour throughout the Nation, says the Pasadena Star-News. The Nazareth VOL. xxxx NAZARETH, PA., THURSDAY MORNIx\G.

A Judge Criticizes Anti- BevolveV Laws
At the recent annual meeting of the National Rifle As-
1 tlon Judge Joseph E. Corrlgan, Chief Magistrate of
York City, turned tlie jearchllght of his expenience on
**** ,, .g Sullivan Law, which forbids the general possession
T volvers and pistols. The Sullivan Law Is often held up
''model of legislative excellence by crime reformers agit-
*tlng for similar laws In other parts of the nation.
According to Judge Corrlgan, the law has been a "flat d absolute failure." It was passed In the hope of reducing Il!!mictdes but they have Increased ever since Its Inception. d he says, the law "disarms the reputable citizens for the ta tit ot the thug, and hold-ups are now a much safer pas- [•" than before. Every cItUen is entitled to... .have a gun |« the protection of his home; the underworld has no trou¬ ble getting its guns."
He states tlmt defendants brought before him have dis- pUyed permits to carry weapons. Irrespective of the fact that tbey had criminal records.
It is to be hoped that Judge Corrlgan's remarks come to ... attention of those who are now busy seeking anti-gun relation in other states. Restrictive legislation of any kind u usually a failure: restrictive legislation which seeks to make a crimitxal of any citizen who possesses a gun Is a leg¬ islative monstrosity.
Taxes For Buses -j\-.':^X.-'"^:''^'^-'
A recent compilation by the National Motor Bus Division of the American Automobile Association shows that taxes nald bv comiuon-carrler motorcoach companies increased 82 ner cent between 192'3 and 1928. These assessments against •he bus were based on various factors, including value of use of highways, potential use of highways, actual use of hlgh¬ wavs and all special taxes. The average bus pays an annual UX ci $311.81-24 times that paid by the average private car.
It is often charged that buses are wearing out highways tor which thav do not pay. but this is largely, nowadays, un- hiitifled The bus has become an Important service Industry -id like all service Industries Its place In the community u s taxpayer la rightly being on a sound and stable basis.
Need Better Laws—Not More Laws
This country U surfeited with laws.. There are so many statutes that it ia utterly Impossible for tbe average cltUen to be conversant with them, even superficially. This super¬ fluity of sUtutory law tends to lower general respect for law. It should be the purpose of all legUlaUve bodies to keep down to the mlnmum the number of legislative enactments.
Fewer laws, and laws of better quality. Is the supreme need of the hour throughout the Nation, says the Pasadena Star-News.
