Publication Of the Laws.

The State Register, in an article in
favor Of the system Of publishing the
laws of the State in its newspapers,
quotes from the current report OF
Hon. John Elliott, Auditor of State, as
follows: aa
1.-The publication Of the laws As pro-
vided for in chapter us, Acts of 1866,
has become All item of considerable ex-
pense to the State, but, in my opinion,
1t is money well expended. BY this
mean. all the laws passed by your
/ honorable body are brought to the notice
of al the people of the State (for the
people Of Iowa are a reading people') at
the expense ofthe entire State. Every
man Is presumed to kaoW the iaw, and
this gives every one the opportunity that
makes such presumption reasonable"
After giving deserved praise to this
pointed argument in favor of the system,
the article quotes Mr.. Elliott's sugges-
tions in regard to the time Of publishing
the laws, which might be judiciously
acted upon the Legislature. He says:
"The act referred to fixes the time at
which the papers shall be selected to
