That the weights and measures law
is an unqualified success in operation
is pretty well conceded even by those
who once opposed it and every house
wife in the state is prepared to furnish
expert testimony as to its value to the
consumer, but the cold figures of the
annual report of j. @. Emery, ex-ofieio
superintendent of weights and meas
ures, showing the results of the inspec-
tions made in 1912 are startling The
summaries are as follows: Total mum
Der of inspections, 1873, 100, condemned
TO- repairs, 12,951, condemned for fur
the, use, 21,179, adjusted, 1921. The
percentage of all weights and measures
inspected found correct was T2.6, which
means that one-quarter were defective
in some way. This does not mean that
d, alers were knowingly defrauding
their customers except in very few
cases but the results were the same to
the consumer. The results of the opera
tion of the law bear out the assertions
that were made by the hackers of the
bill in the legislature when the measure
was up for passage when their state
ment of conditions was derided as
greatly exaggerated by the opponents
of the law. The law has been of great
er direct benefit to the people of the
state than any measure that has been
placed on the statute books of the state
in years and so thoroughly has its use
fitness been demonstrated that any
amendments which may be proposed in
future legislatures will be along the
line of strengthening the law No lit
tie damage could have been done by
the arbitrary enforcement of the law
in the beginning but it has been ad-
ministered with such common sense and
fairness that none of the people who
have come in conflict with the inspect
ors has any ground for complaint. It
is noticeable also that most of the re-
tailers now admit that strict enforce
ment of the law is the greatest protec-
ton they could have against unfair and
dishonest competition and that no hon
est dealer has anything to fear from
the law.
