Growth &c prevented
competition

might be kept from all
judiciary excrescences,
interpretative amendments
made by legislature
only, and wd
become part of the
Code.

importing change as
well as interpretation.
36.
By these means
all judicial strained
interpretations
would cease.
37.
Thus would the rule
of action always be
adapted to the circumstances
of the times.
