Stranica 36 - It is also true, that where great inconvenience will result from a particular construction, that construction is to be avoided, unless the meaning of the legislature be plain ; in which case it must be obeyed.
Stranica 78 - When the subject lies within the police power of the state, debatable questions as to reasonableness are not for the courts but for the Legislature, which is entitled to form its own judgment, and its action within its range of discretion cannot be set aside because compliance is burdensome.
Stranica 35 - Speaking generally, we would say that an original package, as applied to interstate and international commerce, is a package, bundle, or aggregation of goods, put up, in whatever form, covering, or receptacle, for transportation and as a unit transported from one State or nation to another.
