tain Range to the Yellow
stone

On Board President Harding S
Special Train, July 1.-Two days
spent by President Harding in ici-
lowstonc National Park has had the
effect of making him strong advo-
cate of the proposal to add the
Teton mountain region to the park
area. Shortly before leaving the
park late, yesterday, after having
travelled through it. and obtained II
welcome surcease from the almost
continuous train rides Of his western
trip, he indicated that not only would
he approve legislation to add the
mountain to the park, but that he
would use his influence to bring
about the passage by Congress of
such an act. Both the President and
Mrs. Harding had visited the park
previously, but they each declared,
on boarding the train at Gardiner,
that yesterday and Saturday had
been two of the most pleasant days
of the trip.
The Presidents party spent most
of today travelling across country,
with Spokane as the next stop There
the President will make one of the
principal speeches of his trip to-
night, discussing reclamation, hydro
electric development and similar
questions of interest to the North

WEIGHTS LAW
OF S0L0NS IS
HELD INVALID
Changed Provisions of Initial
ed Law, Attorney-Gencr-
ais Opinion
EFF EjCTIVE TODAY
Would Have Transferred Job
of Inspecting Weights,
Measures to Sheriffs

The law of the 1923 legislature
placing the duty of inspecting
weights and measures in the hands
of the sheriffs Of the various coun-
ties, effective July 1. is declared
invalid by Attorney General
George f. Shafer, in an opinion an
nounced today.
The bill passed the legislature
by less than a two-thirds vote, and
since a previous initiated act had
placed the duty Of inspecting
weights and measures in the hands
of the state supervisor of grains
and grain grades, the law IS not
effective, the Attorney Genera
holds. An initiated law can be re-
pealed only by two-thirds vote,
under the constitution, the Attor-
ney"General points out.
Senate Hill No. 3S7, by Senators
Stevens, Kaldor and Murphy, was
enacted by the legislature last win
ter after marked opposition, espe-
cially in the house. 1t was urged
hy proponents as an economy
measure, it being held that the
work of inspecting weights and
measures had been done by the
sheriffs Of the counties years pre-
ious at less expense and with
greater efficiency.
The new law provided fees which
might be charged by sheriffs, and
provided that the Commissioner of
Agriculture and Labor should
keep standard measures for test
ing purposes The law carried an
emergency clause. which requires
a tWO-thirds vote, but an exanaina-
ton of the senate and house jour
mails it is stated, showed that It
p%s %ssed only by a majority vote.
The state supervisor OF grains
and grain grades is John N. Hagen.
His office is functioning in limited
manner because Of the attack on
the cOnstitutionality Of that ac:.
Elevator companies attacking the
act and attorneys for the state
agreed upon a modification of the
federal court decree, pending final
determination by the United States
Supreme Court in the fall, to per
nit him to supervise bonding of
elevators taking grain for storage.
Funds in the department having
become exhausted, the emergency
commission a few days ago votei
to transfer any unexpended bal
ances in the grain grading fund
under the old law to the depart
ment.
