The objections of the Governor to
House Joint Resolution No. 6, which
provides for selling the Revised Code
at six dollars copy, were given in
his message somewhat as follows !:
In the first place, the Code cost the
State more than that amount, and
to reduce its price now to six dollars
would be equivalent to robbing the
treasury of about twelve thousand
dollars in money, which the State
would realize were the price kept
up to ten dollars copy; and all
this for the accommodation of few
lawyers and professional men, who
are really the principal purchasers
of the Code, the people at large car
ing but little about its price, so that
the State is well paid for its publ
cation, ami at the same time is en-
abled to realize little surplus fund
therefrom. Another reason is, that
the book is worth the price asked,
and, as rule, cannot be bought for
a less sum anywhere. The motion
to pass the resolution over the Gov
errors veto, was lost by a vote of
forty-three to Ihirty-six.-Pilot.
