" ~~~„ r It will be seen from even a onauel reading of this Soot ion that it ooa-prehenda all combinations or sareementa entered into by any person, aorporatlon,' • `,, company or nsaootation to control the prioe of any commodity or article of mar- i! ohandise or any products to be bought or sold will be in violation of the j. emphatic provisions of the SLntute. Section 3917•of the same Chapter, namely: Chapter 101 of the Ky. j ~~ Statntee, provides that: j i, . ~' " my president, manager, director or other officer or agent or reoeivezd . ~ of any corporation, company, firm,psrtnerehip, or any corporation, company, j firm or association, or any member of any corporation, firm or ueaooiation,~ l! or anq member of any company, firm or other aaaooiation, or~~any individual ' found Dy s court of competent ~uriadiotion guilty of any o~t118 v~?one ~ • ;, oY this sot. shall be punished by a fine of not less than $b00.00 nor more ' than ~y`b,000.00, or may be imprisoned in the county ~a11 not leas than i six months nor more than twelve months, or may be both eo fined and • imprisoned, in the discretion of the court or fury trying the case. " I, { Chapter 17, of the 6ote of 1916 is even more etringent.than Chapter 101`: ~~. of the Ky. 3tatutoa above referred to, not only increasing the pennltieo for its ~ violation but making the provisions of the law much more eisoting and oomprehen- give in every respect against persona entering into any agreement for the purpose i ':! of fixing or regulating the prices of any commodity or product or food whatever. f ~ I have celled the attention of the Commonwealth.'e 4ttorn to these • '~ chapters and he agrees with me that the violntiora suggested id yourel2eeoi4tion ` are not only reprehei:eible Dut has declared hie intention ae an official to look `• • into the matter at the nest meeting of the Cisvuit Court and sell the attention l' of the Court to the violations of the law. ~! t, ~ i' There osn be no question that the hots cited in this opinion are not i •. ' only being violated but are being violated under a positive agreement to raise the ~• prioe of milk to consumers, and I heartily concur eith this.llonorable Board Sa `' the suggestion that the people ought to be protected from euoh oonopiraoies or + ~~ combines. lloweveT, I might be permuted to say that the dairymen or sailors o! - j milk and butter nre not the only ones in the City of Paducah who are guilty of . euoh oombinatione.
