PAUL WEST PUBLISHING CO. 1920 PREFACE 1 THE publisher of the United States Compiled Statutes Annotated, 1916, presents, in two volumes, a Supplement continuing that publication, with its various features. All laws of general application enacted after December 20, 1916, the date of the closing of the main edition, and up to and including March 4, 1919, have been included in the Supplement. The new laws have been classified in accordance with the scheme of division employed in the edition of 1916 and according to the method of distribution adopted by the Revised Statutes of the United States. To determine whether a provision now appearing in the edition of 1916 is still intact and a part of the laws of the United States, the searcher can turn to the same section number in the Supplement. If the number does not appear in the Supplement, the reader can take it for granted that no change has been made in the former provision. If the provision has been repealed or superseded, a note will appear in the Supplement, under the appropriate section number, indicating the subsequent history of the legislation. The annotations have been continued on the plan of the former edition to March 1, 1919. To facilitate ready reference from the edition of 1916 to the Supplement, the notes have been given the same numbers that they bore in the original edition. In addition to the text of the statutes, executive proclamations have been inserted in the notes following text provisions giving power to the executive to declare by proclamation some matter or fact essential to the operation or enforcement of the act.
