Wisconsin Supreme Court Upholds Oil Inspection Law
Justice Marshall finds the 1909 oil inspection statute valid but criticizes it as an intrusion on personal liberty in handling common necessaries. He notes the act is unskillfully drawn on disbursements and audits, potentially fatal to the law, as payment of inspectors’ salaries depends on such audits. The attorney general may rule on state officer duties.
