of the United States shall apply To
and with proviso expressly except
ing sections 1850 and 1890 of the Re-
vised Statutes. The amendment en-
larges the exception by including 9TH
er sections of the Revised Statutes
and certain later statutes. The main
object of the amendment " to re-
move the uncertainty, which has not
infrequently caused difficulty, as to
whether the provisions of the organic
act are exclusive in regard 10 the
subjects to which they relate or
whether other provisions of the fed
eral laws which were enacted with
special reference to other Territories,
although in general terms, apply also
Ia Hawaii, Notwithstanding the spe-
cial provisions of the organic act of
Hawaii upon the same subject.
The method OF stating the amend
ment, namely, by reference to the fin
al report of the commission to revise
and codify the laws OF the United
States. dated December 10, 1906, in
stead of enumerating the statutes IN
question, is adopted partly for brew
ity, because the list of statutes would
be somewhat lengthy. and partly for
convenience, because all these stat
utes are collected and set forth In one
place In this report. The exclusion
OF these statutes from application to
disinterested commissioners appoint
ed to revise and cOdify the laws Of
the United States under authority Of
Congress, for all the statutes in ques-
ton are included In chapter little
NLlV. chapter 9. OF the report, the
first section of which has been pre-
pared and inserted by the commission
as follows:
Sec. 5S17. The provisions OF this
chapter that are general in their
terms shall be applicable only to the
Territories of New Mexico and Ari-
zona; ana the words any Territory
and each Territory and other words
of like import, wherever they occur
