FOREWORD BOB GOLDSWORTHY Bob Goldsworthy and I were both elected to the Legislature for the first time in 1956. We were among the first members of what would become, in a few years, a whole new generation of Republican legislators and officeholders. Bob was always a friend to everyone. With his long experience in farming and in the Air Force, he wielded substantial influence in agricultural and military affairs. He was most influential, however, when he became chairman of the House Appropriations Committee in 1967. By then, I was governor and I depended on Bob’s leadership to produce a good budget; one that would adequately finance education, better transportation facilities, and the preservation of the environment.

WASHINGTON LAW REVIEW Volume 45, Number 4, 1970 JUDICIAL SANCTIONS AND LEGISLATIVE REDISTRICTING IN WASHINGTON STATE W. Basil McDermott* INTRODUCTION History has been unkind to state legislatures. As one looks at the development of those bodies in our society today, only the dull are even mildly optimistic about the ability of such assemblies to under- stand, let alone manage, the immensely disruptive changes that have been taking place in this century. Change is history's joker slipped openly into a deck of stacked problems that frustrate the most able politicians and bewilder the vast majority. Like generals who are best prepared to fight yesterday's war, state legislatures look boldly toward the past hoping against hope that the times will stop a-changing. Wise men will make no bets. In a sense the story is an old one-the problems facing men out- grew the capacity of the political structures designed to handle such problems.
