SHORT WEIGHING THE PUBLIC

Shortweighting the public is OF the mean
est ways on earth of taking the publcs money that
has ever been practiced. yet it looks like from the
repors in some papers of the work OF the weights

being generally practiced throughout the State,
and even after the necessary wranng has been
given. continue, and we believe they should GER
tainly be punished along with the common herd
of criminals There is excuse tor short meas
ure or short weights, especially after having the
laws explained to them and their scales tested We
note that lO4 cases have been filed in the courts
of Amarillo against firms who are charged with
short weights and measures in various ways.
The buying public has probably been beaten
out of more money this way than any other, and
while we do not mean to say that all merchants
are dishonest Intentionally, there many more OF
them short-veighing than they think for Taking
the other fellows weight and passing them on to
the public is responsible for lot OF this, but the
law requires more care than this, and the weights
and measures department Of Texas proposes to
educate the people in correcting these things and
if talking and writing will not do it, it seems that
the strong arm Of the Federal Law will be brought
to bear upon them The Inspector was in Lubbock
recently on his official round, and stated to the
Avalanche that he found very few irregularities
here and these were promptly corrected he also
stated that comparatively few are found in the
towns the size of Lubbock but in the smaller places
and in the larger cities he has much trouble
