reasonable cost and with the privilege
of having the first cost to him reDat-
ed over a term of years."
! do not know what is meant by
having the privilege of having the
first cost to him rebated over "a term
of years" and so cannot attempt an
answer.
AS To the first part of the question
j think that competitor has as much
right to demand and receive the same
news service as he would to demand
and receive the use of the other pa
pers presses, composing room, editors,
reporters and every other facility.
Just as much right and no more.
And that is absolutely no right at
