Death by own action law debate and old statutes

An irate discussion notes that the English death by own action statute was not in force in this state and that many obsolete laws linger without repeal. The piece criticizes attempts to enforce outdated rules and jabs at legal and legislative issues affecting public life, morality, and consumer protection. It also covers baking powder labeling bills and consumer rights, plus local sales and promotional notices.
