Assemblyman. 68th District ," When you stop to think about it, it's wonderfully amazing how well our world gets along on the basis of trust in the honesty of our fellow mortals. Even that device called "money," which is the medium of exchange in prac­ tically every commercial tran­ saction, is based upon trust in the government which issues it. Without this confidence, modern business and our stan­

dard of living could not con­ tinue for more than a brief period.

Experience over the cen­ turies of history has indicated, however, that it is necessary to erect legal bulwarks to sup-

ONE IMPORTANT area in which the earliest governments were called upon to establish standards trusted by both buy­ er and seller is weights and measures. Laws to make sure that a pound is a pound to both parties in a sale, a yard is a yard, a quart a quart, go back far in history. Precise fixing of the measurements in­ volved has become an exact and complicated science.

Under our California law, these and other weights and
