Indeed. the Assembly has rarely
done so foolish and petty a thing as 1t
did when in May. one year ago, 1t
passed the bill prohibiting the trading
stamps.
OF course. the Supreme Court has
overthrown and denounced the whole
business and the Assembly will proba-
bly, be n trifie more careful before IT
makes a nuisance OF itself again or
bothers with trifling matters which are
none of it's business.
Lots of people condemned the trading
stamp scheme at the sime and lots more
took little stock In 1t. Many others liked
1t, however. and many reputable mer-
chants availed themselves of its ad-
vantages. There were differences OF
opinion between which, however, II was.
as the court says in effect, none of the
business Of legislation to interfere.

1T throws a curious sidelight on the
action of the assembly. by the way. TO
recall that at the time the expressive
legislation against the trading stamp
scheme was being promoted. some of
Senator Freemans relatives. or a rela-
tive. were, or was, engaged in operat-
ing a similar scheme with a small diff
ference to IT..
And 1t appears also as a curious
feature OF this trivial history that the
act prohibiting trading stamps was so
framed that while il shut out the trad
ing stamp operators, 1t still permitted
the Freeman family to continue busi-
ness, which. / suppose, has been going
on ever since unless II has died a nat
ural death in the interval.
In other words. the legislation was
not silly and only offensive, inasmuch
as II was a busybody sort Of an act.
but it was positively ubiquitous in that
it drew line between two competing
concerns. permitting one to flourish
and prohibiting the other.
