FOOD ORDINANCE
HAS CLOSE CALL
Judge Lewis Is in Doubt as to
the Validity of the
Measure.
SPEAKS OUT IN COURT
REGARDING THE MATTER
Jury in Case on Trial, However,
Finds the Defendant
Guilty.

The section of the city's pure food
ordinance relating to the sale OF 1000
said to bc unsafe and unwhoIesome Tor
human consumption had very close
call from being declared illegal py
Judge Lewis OF the district court
Wednesday. when he raised the point
that the city, through It's food commis-
sioncr and inspectors. had no right 10
declare food unwholesomc and unsafe
for human beings in the absence OF
some fixed standard by which to de
terminc that point. The matter came
up during the closing of the trlal or
against Tom Politz.
Politz was charged by City Food
and Dairy Commissioner Walter y.
Frazier with selling nuts that were
wormy and unfit for human consump-
tion. He was found guilty in the .po.
lice court and was fined $50, after
which he appealed to the district
court.
In charging the Jury Judge Lewis
took decided stand againet an
ordinance by the city which attempted
to restrict commerce by prohibiting the
sale Of such food unless it contained
some standard by which il could be de-
termined that such food was unsafe
and unwholesome for human beings.
Guilty, Says Jury.
Notwithstanding the court charge,
the jury, after deiberating about FIVE
minutes, returned verdict of guilty
as charged. Judge Lewis instructed the
Jury that it had no right TO determine
the point of Embellishments or un-
safcness Of the food sold. but could
determine as to the freshness OF sound
ness of the same.
Assistant City Attorney Daily insisted
that the ordinance was the same as
that in many other cities in the United
States, and that 1t had invariably been
upheld by the courts of other states
He also stated that it followed the
regulations of the United States gov.
eminent in every respect.
After the jury returned its verdict
OF guilty Judge Lewis fixed the date
for passing sentence for April 9. In
the meantime Assistant City Attorney
DAILY VIII present authorities TO tho
court on the question Of the legality
of the ordinance with relation to au.
thorizing the food commissioner TO de
clare certain foods unsafe and unwhole
some for human consumption.
