THE MONTHLY BULLETIN. 207 



It has been repeatedly held by the Supreme Court of the United States that it 

 is within the power of the state in the exercise of its right of inspection to examine 

 all articles produced in each state and shipped therefrom to other states or coun- 

 tries; that it may do this in furtherance of the interests of its own citizens and as 

 a protection and advantage to its own products so that the quality of such products 

 may be maintained and the state and the citizens thereof not be endangered by the 

 exiwrtation therefrom of unfair and diseased articles. 

 Tiiriivr vs. Mariiland, 107 U. S. 38. 



There is provided in sections 2.310a, 2.310?> and 'T?A^f of the rolitical Code a 

 procedure whereby the State Horticultural Cunnuissiuner may. with the approval 

 of the Governor as therein provided, establish a quarantine within the state against 

 another state or foreign country. Tln^se provisions may be extended not only to 

 importations from such other states and countries but also to exportations from this 

 state to other states and countries, when the effect of such quarantine is to benefit 

 and protect the products of this state. You are therefore by these provisions of the 

 Political Code fully warranted in preventing by means of such quarantine the ship- 

 ments of disea.sed potatoes to sections outside of Califoiniia unless a certificate is 

 affixed to them that they are free from insect attack. 



It is provided in section 2319 of the Political Code that the State Commissioner 

 of Horticulture may appoint by and witli the ai)proval of the Governor such teni- 

 l)orary deputies from time to time as may be reiiuired. and that such deputies shall 

 receive such reasonable compensation per diem as may be fixed by the Commissioner. 

 I'nder the authority of this section you could appoint with the api)roval of Ihe 

 Governor a competent i)erson, other than coiinty horticultural commissioner, who 

 would then act as a State Quarantine Guardian under your authority and at su(rh 

 reasonable comitensation per day as you might fix. 

 Very truly yours, 



U. S. Webb, Attorney General, 

 By Robert W. Harrison, Deputy. 



This gives warrant for preventing sliipnients to other states and also 

 for appointing extra in.speetors and quarantine guardians. — A- J- C.
