Object of laws for inspection of tobacco. In the organization of federal government
the state retained its power to pass inspection laws. In exercising its right of inspection,

is responsible for his conduct as any other official. Moore v. State, 47 Md. 483. As to
object of inspection laws, see also Turner v. State, 55 Md. 263 (affirmed in 107 U. S.
38). And see Patapsco Guano Co. v. Board of Agriculture, 52 Fed. 697.
