cent decision OF the United States supreme
court in the case OF George R. Eaton is
liable to be misunderstood by persons not
familiar with the facts. That particular
case, he explained, arose under the orig

partment regulation, but provision of
law that requires the dealer to report to
the mmissioner, and suffer penalty 10
