In giving its reasons for setting
aside the sales-by-weight law the SUI

guaranteed by the constitution. This
act places an unreasonable and burden

conflicts with the right to make con-
tracts" In explaining the reason for
refusing to grant the application of the
drys for recount of the votes cast on

points out that no such recount may be
made because of the failure OF the leg.
