MILK AND MUNICIPALITIES
By Walter K. Towers. A. B.
of the Michigan Bar
J. D .
The regulation of the milk supply
is a matter that is of vital Import
ance to all of us. To the hahlrs ihe
difference between good and bad
milk Is a difference between life
and death. To a good many of us
milk and cream mean either 'nourish
ment or disease according as It Is
par or impure. Typhoid epidemics
have been frequently traced to an
impure milk supply and tuberculous
cows spread a dreaded plague to
those who consume the milk.
The law has given the weight, of
its authority to the regulation of
milk by municipal ordinances and by
state legislative enactments. These
laws have for their purpose not only
the safeguarding of the milk supply
against disease but also the separa
tion of all relations between the pro
due' of the cow and the far-famed
'iiilkinan's pump. Watered milk has
frequently drawn down the light
nings of the law as well as furntah
Inspiration for the professional joke
snilth. It was the subject of the fol
lowing diatribe, of which a St. iouls
juoge recently relieved himself in
the case of the city against a pur
veyor of diluted milk.
"Milk," said the wearer of the er
mine, "an object of profound and
vigilant concern to the modern law
maker, has always been part and
parcel to the dally life, the adages
and toiKiore or mankind. Kor ex
ample: We are told not to cry over
spilt milk that is, not to fret over
real logs that can't be helped. The
Russian has an adase, That which is
aken In with the milk only goes out marked with their capacity.
i
with the soul that Ip, early Impres
sions last till death The Swede has
one denoting hospitality, viz!, When
there is milk In the can for one.
there Is milk In the can for two. In
the phrase, "The milk of human
kindness," Is expressed the very
heart and office of that gently but
noble virtue. The bard of bards
loes not hesitate to connect milk
with philosophy, deeming that nei
ther loses dignity by the Juxtaposi
tion, he speaks of 'Adversity's sweet
milk, philosophy.' All such amiable
metaphors, saws, similes, associated
ideas and folklore eschew the be
littling idea of water in ml a'. Con
tra, the milk held In mind is good
milk. I recall but one instance to
the contrary (seemingly the Inad-
venture of a daring and erratia gen
ius), viz:
'Oh Mirth and Innocence! Oh, milk
and water!
Ye happy mixtures of more happy
days."
Indeed, the universal, primal and
spontaneous mental conception we
have of milk, in the first Instance,
Is that It Is unwatered. Take one
case for example: Milk and honey

er than requiring licenses and pro
hibiting adulteration. They have reg
ulated the conditions under which the
milk is produced and transported and
prescribed standards of richness. Reg
ulattons forbidding the sale within
the town of milk from cows Ted on
slops, or brewer's malt, or keipt In
unsanitary premise have been up
held. The dof initials In these eas
es were not allowed to show tlmt the
milk was, nevertheless, perfectly
wholesctm : the fact that the law
prohibits the sale of such milk Is fi
nal. It is a matter properly within
the regulation of the lawmaking pow
er. The municipality may also re
quire that all cows be subjected to
tuberculin and other tests, and that
no milk be sold within the town limit
except from tested cows.
Even though the dealer be licensed
and his milk come from properly fed
and cared for cows, and there be no
iiliilieratlon of any kind, the milk
may yet be barred because It Is not
up to the required standard of rich
ness. A requirement of three per
cent of fat In milk and twenty per
cent of fat in QTMlft has been held
reasonable. Where the laws pro
vide the health officers may seize
without compensation milk enough to
make tests.. The analysis of compe
tent authorities, unless shown to be
erroneous, Is taken by the courts aa
the final test whether the milk In
question was up to the required stand
ard. Ordinances permitting the sei
zure and destruction of all milk that
Is found to be Impure or below the
required standards are supported by
the courts and generally enforced.
Of course the municipality may
make valid regulations governing the
measures of quantity in use by the
dealers. The citizens tthru their leg
islative representatives be they al
dermen or members of the village
board may provide these regula
tions as well as those protecting thei
against impure or weak milk. All
but officially-tested measures may be
barred and ordinances not Infrequent
ly require that milk shall be sold on
ly In bottles or Jars permanently
Lusk, Wvo Ranch people of W.vo llainer Informs The Herald that
molng. like those of Nebraska, are ' had a "awell time", which la not at
noted for their hospitality. Mrs. ; all surprising.
If you are a consumer of milk rec
ognize your rights. You can compel
the enforcements of the regulations
you now have and, If they are Insuf
ficient, you may do nmich to secure
the passage or acts that will be ade
quate. (Copyright, 191.1. by Walter K. Tow
Commend and Suggest
Speaking of the recent quarantine
In Alliance, The Herald wishes to
commend and suggest. Plrat, we
wish to commend the city officials
for the vigorous and successful man
ner In which smallpox and other con
tagious diseases have been stamped
out. Of course, almost any one can
see where Improvement could have
been made; but It Is easier to see
how- a thing could have ben done
better after it has been done than
to do It better at the time. The main
thing In view In ordering a quaran
tine was to make It successful, and
as It has been there isn't much
room left for knocking.
The suggestion we have to make
peace and plenty a large and a good for the future- ,r vcr there happens
land flowing with milk and honey.
(Ex.. ill. 8; Jer. xxxii. 22.) But what
: t lii' ftpriislnn l tt imp It Is hnHAl nn
the unanimous opinion of physicians
a derisive picture would rise to liar
ass the imaginanatlon by U6e of the
phrase, A land flowing with watered
milk and honey? We think the onli
nance proceeds on the notion that
however much the cow waters her
own milk in her own humble and
honest way (letting nature take her
course, the milkman has no right to
designedly duplicate nature's gift
of water by a furtive gift of bia own
from the barnyard pump. It pro
ceeds on the underlying theory that
it is a fraud, a trick and a veritable
cheat contrary to the common law
and hence of that phase cf It known
colloquially as the 'square- deal' to
sell water, when milk, not water, la
the commodity dealt in. If one is not
to get a stone who asks for bread,
no more (under the spirit of the or
dinance) is he to get wafer who
asks for milk."
The regulation of a matter of such
general and vital concern as milk is
properly within the province of the
state legislature. It is for the legis
lative power representing the people
as a whole to prescribe the meas
ures that are to safeguard the sup
ply. But the legislature may, and
very frequently does, delegate this
power to its creature, the municipal
ity; so we find the individual com
munities supported by the courts in
their enactment and enforcement of
drastic ordinances regulating the pro
duction and distribution of milk.
As these measures entail addition
al labor and expense on the part of
those engaged In the milk business
many of the laws have been bitterly
opposed in the courts, but quite gen
erally they have been sustained. It
is now clearly understood that mu
nicipalities having the usual powers
may UOtBM milk dealers and prevent
all unlicensed persons from selling
milk in the municipality. A reason
able license fee may be c-naeted and
the h il'li officers may be given the I
Itjf to Issue or withhold llcen-i
nd, unless it is shown that they
from Improper motives, their!
i in refusing to issue or in re- i
'i'ns a license, under the authority;
' .' the muni ipality, will be supported I
by the courts.

They tell us that if there were uni

quire everybody "to he vaccinated. If
thh v.cre done, business would not

less probability of exaggerated and
false reports being circulated affect

Outing in the West
Mr. and Mrs. Geo. E. Hughes and
sen and daughter, BufonI ami Helen,
left, on 41 last Thursday morning for
a two months' outing In the w -t
The object of the trip is health and
pleasure. They will visit Seattle and
Portland and other western points. At
Seattle they were to meet Mr.
Hughes' brother, Thoa. J. Hughes, a
wireless telegrapiier in the employ of
the Canadian government. A son,
Carl Hughes, at Holtville. California,
will be visited.
Mr. Hughes has been a faithful
employe of the Burlington railroad
for six years, during which time he
has not taken a vacation, altho some
times being absent a few days to
work on hiB claim. Before entering
the employ of the railroad company
he filed on a homestead claim, on
which he proved up a couple of years
ago. He la an enthusiastic north
western Nebraska man. Before he
left on the pleasure trip he showed
his confidence In this country by his
closing of a deal far the purchase of
a half section of land near Lakeside.
The Herald will carry the news to
them while they are on their vacation.
