Louis Brandeis

“ To require that goods received in or discharged from public warehouses shall be weighed by public weighers and that no one else shall issue certificates of or make charges for weighing under those circumstances is not an unreasonable or arbitrary exercise of the discretion vested in the Legislature. Compare House v. Mayers, supra; Brodnax v. Missouri, 219 U.S. 285, 31 Sup. Ct. 238, 55 L. Ed. 219. Nor can we say that to limit the application of the provision to grain and hay is an arbitrary discrimination against dealers in those articles. ”

“ Louis is a city of more than 75,000 inhabitants; that public weighers of grain are maintained there at all public warehouses and elevators in compliance with the act; and that the respondent in violation thereof and in abuse of its corporate franchise maintains a bureaufor weighing grain, grants weight certificates, and makes charges therefor. ”
