At the home of the BRIDES parents,
George F. Mack, ST., and wife. Rev.
=. E. Pettis performed the ceremony
which united in the holy bonds of
wedlock, last Monday morning. Miss
Agnes Mack of this city, and Robert
b. Flather of Oakland. The bride is
the third daughter of Mr.. Mack and
wife, and one of Ione's sweet girls.
She was born and reared here and has
hosts OF friends. The groom is man
ager of an electrical manufacturing
company at Oakland, and a young
man who is sober and industrious
and held in high esteem by those who
know him. After the wedding iour-
ney to Del Monte, Mr.. and Mrs.
Flather will take up their residence
in Oakland. ''The Echo" joins with
their friends in wishing the young
couple long, happy, and prosperous
life.

TO OVERTHROW THE LICENSE.

Sheep owners of Yuba and Sutter
coun ties will institute proceedings
against Sierra, Plumas and Nevada
counties, to recover the amounts
paid for licenses on sheep taken into
those coun ties to Craze during the
summer months.
Their action is based on the recent
decision of the United States su-
preme court in the action of Wheeler
and Ridenaur and John Flanagan of
Nevada, against the tax collectors
of Plumas and Sierra counties where
in Judgment was given plaintiffs
Banner.
The same situation confronts the
cattle and sheep men of Amador and
adjoining counties, who for many
years have been driving their stock
into Alpine county and pasturing
them upon the government land,
paying a license to Alpine county
for this privilege. The tax thus col
lected has been an important item in
main tanning the local government of
our eastern neighbor, and to repay
the sums so collected would be a
serious matter. 1t is doubtful, how
ever, whether a claim against the
county on such point would hold.
No doubt the stockmen here will
await the outcome of the suits in
other counties before taking any
action. This will bring another
question into the controversy, name
ly the outlawing of the claims against
the county, assuming them to be
valid in the first place.

CODE REVISION.

On another page of this issue ap-
pears an article from the Sacra-
mento News relative to the practi-
cal work accomplished in the way of
revising the codes by he present
code commissioner. Probably of all
positions SO lavishly provided by the
state for ffice-seekers, the one most
perilous to public interests is that
of code commissioner. This is say
ing nothing derogatory to the ability
of the present holder of that posi-
tion, nor of his predecessors. The
article referred to says the sum total
of results in the revision work con-
sists in transposition of words, ap-
parently immaterial and needless
changing of phrases, correction of
grammatical errors, and so forth
the predominant idea being to give
the law verbiage a more classical
and euphonious rendering. For this
sort of work the state is paying at
the rate of over $4,000 per wear. If
the money were simply wasted it
would not be so bad. But the dan
ger is that by such changes for the
love of change the whole question of
Interpretation will be raised anew,
and have to be again passed upon
by the courts. Most of the sections
of the codes as they formerly stood
have passed the ordeal of the courts.
But any change, however trivial it
may seem on its face, will almost in
evitably raise fresh crop of litiga-
tion to settle the question of mean
ing. The truth is no man--it mat
ters not how well versed in the law
he may be- is qualified for the task
of revising the law codes. The field
is too vast to be covered by one
brain, however comprehensive the
mentality of that brain may be.
Blackstone himself would be pigmy
in the presence of such task. 1t
is not to be wondered at therefore
that code revision has simmered
down to matter of making the laws
smoother and pleasanter reading for
the fastidious literators. 1t is re-
ported that two hundred of these
code revision bills were passed in
few hours by the last legislature
They were passed at the rate of one
every two minutes, or as fast as
their titles could be read. This was
blind legislation. No attempt was
or could be made to look into the
merit of the changes. One man had
recommended the changes, and that
was deemed all-sufficient to justify
the passage Of the laws as amended,
without any investigation whatever
A system of laws should never be
confded to one-man power in that
way. The commissioner may be
actuated by the best of motives, and
honestly of the belief that the
changes recommended are for the
public good; nevertheless changes
of seemingly innocent nature are
more apt to be productive of harm
then good.
