MISUNDER-
STANDING OF
A NEW LAW
Under New Weight and Measure
Statute, Sheriff will Make Test
But Once a Year.

Deputies, under Sheriff Hunt,
have begun the work of inspecting
weights and measures. under the
law which was passed last winter
and under that law the certificate
of inspection is good for one year
from the date it is issued. A mis-
apprehension exists among some
people that the inspection is to be
made twice a year. Under the
law which the present law repeals
such was the case, and perhaps
that's the reason for entertaining
such an idea now.
Many people are now asking
why it is that scales, ETC., are be-
ing inspected now which are bear
ing certificates Of inspection under
date of last January, when they
were inspected by the state in
spector under the law which was
then in effect and are they not put
to an additional expense? That
is explained by the fact that if
there had been no change in the
law the state inspector would now
be on his rounds making the
second inspection for this year
and he would be around again,
making another inspection, next
January. Under the new law
there will be no further examina-
tion until next summer-as stated,
the certificates, now being issued,
are COOL for one year.
No subject before the legislature
last winter was more thoroughly
ventilated in committee and on
floor of the house, than the one of
weights and measures. Several
bills We're introduced and so varied
were the opinions as to what was
needed to put a stop to false
weights, that it was finally decid-
ed to submit the whole matter to a
special committee Gt was one of
the house) had all of the bills be-
fore the Legislature indefinitely
postponed and it substituted II. B.
No. 275, which was introduced
and ultimately it was made law.
with an emergency clvuse attached
It follows the law of other states,
which seem to have given general
satisfaction. Under the law the
sheriffs of several counties must
during the month of December
file with the county auditors, de.
tailed report of the inspections
made, giving the name of persons
OR corporation whose scales
weights and measures have been
examined, and setting out against
such enumeration of any scales
weights or measures which by the
sheriff have been condemned.
There is feature of the law
which provides for the filing Of
complaints as to the alleged falsi.
ty Of scales, ETC., and the complain
ant must deposit SIS. If the CON-
plaint is found to be true then the
S. is returned and the party COM
planned against is arrested and
fined under law. In one or two
items the fees for inspection are a
little lower than they were under
the law which has been repealed.
The penalties for maintaining
false weights and measures, or the
removal Of the inspection certifii.
cate are very severe, and in addi
ton to fine, the scales, ETC., may
be forfeited and there is a penalty
for misleading the inspector OF
obstructing him in his duties.

4ng some 10 per cent found TO be
yalueless for agricultural purposes,
will be taken by homesteaders.

there have been anxious TO have
