A strange school of logic where
you were taught! There ie no
anal igy about it. It is simply a
question whether what is sauce
for the goose shall be sauce for
the gander; whether a rule ehall

only in favor of one aide.

him? How can you destroy the
value of the property the dealer
and the manufacturer have in-
vested in the traffic without af-
fording him pecuniary re-im*
bursement for the value* so

him? No, you must show him by
something more tangible than
hollow assertions that your daily
