THE cone MUST BE REVISED.

The difficulties which every member
OF Assembly experiences In drafting
bills should OF itself be argument
enough for the passage OF the Viii
liams bill providing for complies
revision of the Code Of Virginia, No
member can a;tompt to amend any sec
ton OF the Code without finding HIM
self in such maze of enactmeuts. re-
peals and re-enactmcnts that the title
is often as long as the bill itself.
1t is not to be wondered at. More
than Twenty-Five years have elapsed
since the Assembly of Virginia au-
thorized a revision Of our statute law.
since that time It is safe to say that
at least 90 per cent of the sections
have been amended, while at least
1000 new laws have been passed which
should be numbered as Il part Of the
Code. Old sections have been amend
ed, changed. revised and enacted again;
new laws have been passed t!mo and
time again on subjects covered by ex-
isting statutes. The whole body of
tangle that begFars description.
other interests than those OF our
lawyers are to be served by complete
revision of the Code. Every business
and professional man should have at
hand, -f he desires 1t, the law OF the
Commonwealth In which he lives, pub
lished in such form as to make 1t in
telligiblc to one without technical
training. This is Al present impossible.
Tho OLD Code is now worthless; Pol
lard's revision, though a monument to
the energy of the present Attorney
General. Is bulky, unhandy and all but
out-of-date through the enactment of
laws subsequent to its issue. The two
volumes OF the Code as prepared by
Mr.. Pollard. and the biennial supple
ments printed since that time, make
up library at once too large for CON
venience and too expensive for general
circulation.

carefully drawn. provides for the nomi-
nation OF ten lawyers by the supreme
Court Of Appeals. from whom the Gov
ernor is TO select three. These are to

for the press and Issue the Code In
a single volume If practicable. An APP
preparation OF 100000 Is contemplated
by the bin, but If the revision be good
and the code he sold at a reasonable
figure, we feel sure that n pront will
accrue in time. But even if there were
no return to the state, the revision
would be worth It's cost.
