PROVISIONS RELATIVE TO ACTS OF REPEAL.

SEC. 12, R. S. Whenever an act is repealed, which repealed a former act, such former act shall not thereby be revived, unless it shall be expressly so provided.

SEC. 13, R. S. The repeal of any statute shall not have the effect to release or extinguish any penalty, forfeiture, or liability incurred under such statute, unless the repealing act shall so expressly provide, and such statute shall be treated as still remaining in force for the purpose of sustaining any proper action or prosecution for the enforcement of such penalty, forfeiture, or liability.

This provision (sec. 13 R. S.), has been upheld by the courts as a rule of construction applicable, when not otherwise provided, as a general saving clause to be read and construed as a part of all subsequent repealing statutes, in order to give effect to the will and intent of Congress. (Hertz v. Woodman. 218 U. S., 205 (T. D. 1636), quoting United States v. Reisinger, 128 U. S., 398: Great Northern Ry. Co. v. United States, 208 U. S., 452).

SEC. 72, act August 28, 1894 (28 Stat., 509), repealing and saving clause.

SEC. 41, act of August 5, 1909 (36 Stat., 90), repealing and saving clause.

Repeals by implication are not favored, particularly in revenue laws, and will only be held to exist when the repugnance is positive, and then only to the extent of the repugnance. (United States v. 100 Barrels Spirits, 12 Int. Rev. Rec., 153.)

Nothing is better settled than that repeals, and the same may be said of annulments, by implication, are not favored by the courts, and that no statute will be construed as repealing a prior one, unless so clearly repugnant thereto as to admit of no other reasonable construction. (Cope v. Cope, 137 U. S., 682, and cases cited.)

A later statute covering the whole subject-matter of a former one where the objects of the two statutes are the same operates as a repeal. (United States v. Claflin, 97 U. S., 546. See also United States v. Tynen, 11 Wall., 88.) When a later statute is a complete revision of the subject to which the earlier statute related and the new legislation was manifestly intended as a substitute for the former legislation, the prior act must be held to have been repealed. (United States v. Ranlett and Stone (1898, 172 U. S., 133.)
