FOREWORD The reception extended the 1919 edition of this work was gratifying. The preparation of the present edition was postponed in order to include such legislation as might be passed by the Thirty-seventh Legislature. The present edition includes a number of additional laws. The Validating Act of the Thirty-sixth Legislature is not as broad as anticipated and as shown by the paper of Mr. Smedley the provisions of the laws then in force may apply. The paper of Mr. Smedley will be appreciated, as his studious research makes plain the many apparent conflicting statutes and opinions. For convenience, the chronological order of the laws is continued. The Conservation Law and the Pipe-Line Law are followed respectively by the Rules of the Railroad Commis sion. We trust that this edition will prove of as great service as our other publications. FEB 1 1922 Copyright 1921 |
