Myers & Co., of Chicago, Illinois, and all revisions thereof, are hereby declared to be admissible in all courts of this State as legal evidence of the statutes therein contained.

Provided, that this declaration shall not preclude reference to the Revised Codes of 1877, the Compiled Laws of 1887 or to any of the acts of the Legislative Assembly of the Territory of Dakota, or to the Session Laws of the State of South Dakota; nor to prevent their control in case of any discrepancy between said statutes of South Dakota and such Codes and Session Laws.
