COY. Folks Speech,

Our readers should carefully peruse
Governor Folks speech reproduced in
this issue. The divergence between
corporate greed and corporate rights,
is clearly defined. 1t confirms what
the Daily News has been preaching,
protection for legitimate industry, and
not heaping injustice upon a corpora
ton only because it is a corporation.
The public should distinguish be-
tween proper and improper conduct,
whether Of an individual or of cor
poration This needs intelligence, be-
cause just discrimination is required
and this is why this paper proposes
to continue its course in separating
beneficial enterprises from those
whose sole motive is greed. Folks
speech will shed light upon doubtful
point
