before, T. B. Moss of the lawbook pub
fishing firm of Bender-Moss in San
Francisco arrived this afternoon to sell
the state 120 copies of Kerrs cyclopedic
codes of California.
Moss declares that his company. with
view TO spreading legal lore in both
houses of the legislature, will not
charge the retail price of sos a set for
these 12o copies of the annotated codes.
but will give them to the state at the
holiday bargain price of $3.50 a set
The cyclopedic codes published by the
Bender-Moss company and edited by
James NJ. Kerr of Berkeley have come

work in which the decision of the su-
prems court of California in the
Schmitz extortion case was carefully
digested and emphatically overruled
Whether this fact would commend ii to
some OF the legislators is open to con-
servative doubt.

umes and would unquestionably look

pared TO spend $500 for the privilege
of placing it at the disposal Of states
