What stuff and nonsense to say

We seek to build up q merchant

Then why should $3.50. 100000 year

Why Is 1t undesirable that America
should require any payments at Al

given except that the debtors prefer
not to pay their debts. that the debt
is burdensome and that Europe would

the $1,O00,000,000 interest already
overdue. why cannot such reasons
or protests pass muster?

New Weight Law Effective

The standard weight of a quarter

Milling companies having sacks oil
flour on hand weighing As pounds may
sell them after May 8, when the 40.
pound sack law goes into effect. pro.
vided they are marked as weighing As
pounds and not quarter of a barrel
This opinion was written by Roy l.
Black, attorney general, for an Idaho
milling company which requested in
formation concerning the disposition
of 4S-pound sacks on hand.
Senate bill No. 102 amends section
1868 of the Compiled Statutes to read
the weight of quarter of a barrel OF
flour shall be 40 pounds; this was
done in order to keep the standard
weight of a barrel at 1876 pounds.
In answering the query of the mill
ing company the attorney general
said:
LAS to those sacks which you have
on hand containing As pounds or will
have on hand when the law goes into
effect, will say by special contract or
agreement made you may still sell
those sacks without change. They
must, however. be stamped as 48
pounds and could not be stamped as
quarter barrel sacks. Section 1868 as
amended provides for that when they
are sold and no special contract or
agreement is made to the contrary "
