EGG GRADING
TO THE EDITOR
Sir, —A law to regulate any matter should cover the matter. It should not when carried into practice, put the emphasis on something, however desirable, that was never mentioned in the law. which put the emphasis on a comparative triviality. Such procedure promotes disrespect for the law, and opens wide the door to abuses. If the law in practice can be manipulated so as to introduce something good but outside the law, it can also be manipulated so as to introduce something bad: a dangerous principle, in the opinion of a layman. It is a poor compliment to the law to tell it. as a North Otago correspondent does, that it is concerned only with matters which are not of common sense, to the exclusion of matters which are. though the Egg Regulations seem .to afford some ground for his saying so.—l am, etc., One-sixteenth Ounce. Dunedin. Sept. 21.
