confront us. Aiming only at the public

powers and duties both SPECIFIC ana
broad These powers and duties may
be stated in general way:
First-to codify the laws of the State
so as to embrace the subjects of the
present codes. and as far as possible
all laws. Some hesitation to do this
has been expressed because it would
involve a REMEMBERING of sections OF
the codes, and this is not desired be-
cause many sections have received jul
dicial construction, and some difficulty
would attend the application of the
decisions of the courts to the sections
as reconstructed and remembered.
But. second-To note under each Sec
ton of the new codes the number of
any former code section whenever any
portion of a new section embraces any
of the subject matter of such former
section, and to also note under each
new section the date, paging and num-
Der of every Independent statute, or
section thereof from which the subject
matter of the new section has been
taken.
Third-To prepare a. repeating stat
ute embracing a specific repeal of every
code, section or statute not intended to
be continued in force, or which has be-
come obsolete or been repealed by i'm
plication, or the subject of which has
been embraced in the new codes.
| Fourth-To prepare in one body all
| provisions of law for re-enactment
which it is impracticable to codify, and
which it is desirable should be pre-
served in the law.
There should be provision for some
stated meetings of the commission. at
which suggestions upon the subject of
! Legislation by citizens should be heard.
and the commission should be required
to report in some form thereon to the
Legislature. The commission should
