Holhrook IncsUsratcs to Kind if Purchasers Get WclRht Th"y Pay Fur .11-Siat' Inr-pcc-tion Statute l-'avoretl. After pesslng a day in Investigating weights and measures in Portland. F. .8. Holhrook, of the Department of Com merce, and Labor, announced last night that his sen-Ices would be st the dis posal of any member of the Oregon leg islature who Intended to Introduce a state-wide Inspection bill. Should such a bill be Introduced. Mr. Holhrook stands rendy to co-operate in making It an effective measure. The Federal ag"nt saya he will be pleased to give any Oregon legislator access to Information on th high cost of living obtained by him In Portland and other cities of the state. Mr. Holbrook passed a portion of yes terday In the company of the scaler of th City of Portland, and fn investigat ing the city ordinances and state. laws relating to weights and measures. He did not say whether the result had con vinced htm of the necessity of additional legislation on the subject. Scale System Inspected. "There is nothing to say to the public as yet concerning actual conditions In Portland." said Mr. Holbrook. "I am now trying to find out how Portland resi dents buy their groceries. For Instance, tf th cltv ordinance or the state law requires that scales shall be inspected, I will aid the city or the state in estab lishing an effective system of checking scales. "If it is required that articles (hall he stamped with the weight of their con tents I shall be glad to help place In effect a method of enforcing the laws. "In many cities tt has been necessary tn establish an Inspection system of scales ar.d measures, and to clothe the Inspectois with authority to aelze and dispose of defective machines. Dellvary wagons are frequently stopped on the streets and their contents weighed. Pur chasers have a right to receive what they pay for. the grocer should get every ounce of the material he pur chases and the producer should be guar anteed remuneration for all of his ship ment. None Is Injured by such a sys tem. Few Swindle Expected. "Portland Is inspected territory, and It Is probable that the number of frauds will be found at the minimum. Such action as I mry determine to take will be the result of the demand for aid com ing from the people." , Inspector Holbrook declares that the regulation of the use of scales and meas ures, the contents of packages offered for sale and manufactured tn the state, are largely a subject for state and mu nicipal control. "I find thaf sometimes an article Is bought and sold by the pound, and In other Instances the same article Is sold at a flat price for the package." he said. "Frequently the purchaser thinks he Is buying two pounds of an article, when he Is really paying for the parcel, or 28 ounces. These things are a subject for regulation. "I do not Intend to begin throwing scoops and scales out of store doors and windows, nor to watch the sire of a mutton chop thrown on the butcher's scales. We will probably secure some information as to how merchants weigh their articles, and if the city wants our aid, the department stands ready to ren der It." Annual I Dividends J Soon Christmas will be here, passed and New Year's will be A behind us for another year. J Then the large and small con- M cerns of the country that have made a profit during 1919 will A distribute their earnings in (J the shape of dividends.
