have any notice. A publication OF such
notices in the county PAL er would bring
out plenty OF buyers where none are now
seen and the property to be sold would
bring much larger sum and result in q
great saving to the debtor in such cases.
The law providing for the publication OF
Insurance statements should either be
amended or repealed. II it is any protec-
tion at all to the people to have such state
ments published, then the pubfcat ton
should be such that the people would see
them, and to accomplish that the old law
requiring such publication in one paper in
each county where the company does busi-
ness should be revived. The law as it was
amended provides for the publication OF
such statement in one paper in each judi
cial district and some OF our judicial
districts are large enough for a re-
spectacle state. Besides there is not as
yet newspaper OF such general cir
culation, SO far as know in any OF them
that Il publicatian OF n notice in such pa
per would he OF any value To the mass OF
the people interested in insurance. Surely
the profits OF foreign insurance companies
for the last year in Dakota. as shown by
official reports, indicate that such com
panies can well afford to publish such no.
tices in at least one paper in each county
where they do business. 1t is a notable TACT
that the change made in the law did not re.
duce the rates OF insurance. on the con-
trary they have been materially raised since
that time.
The time has arrived when the laws
passed at each session OF the legislature
should be published in every paper in the
territory having fair circulation; such
provision has existed in Wisconsin, Mimi.
and other states for many years and the
experience ofsuch states justified with them,
the increased expenditures which need not
necessarily with us be large compared with
the value to the people OF such publica-
tion. The laws could as well be published
in our patents as any other matter, and
those not using patents could purchase
supplements OF the patent publishers. The
cost to the entire Territory would not ex-
ceed $40, GOO, or about $50, to each news
paper small sum indeed when we con-
slider the convenience such publication
would be to officers OF the law who do not
receive copies OF the session laws until six
months after adjournment OF the sLegisla-
lures and OF the people who have no means
OF knowing what the laws are or when they
were violating them; do not think there
are o druggists in the Territory that know
anything OF n law passed nearly two years
ago in relation TO sale oil opium or any OF
its preparations or OF anything OF which

The newspaper more than any other In
