prescribed by the bylaws, and the
mutual cooperation, benefit and pro-
lection of its members.
Assuming that the kind of service
in which the Associated Press is en-
gagged is interstate commerce Ga ques-
tion not free from doubt, | am never
theless of the opinion that it is no
violation of the antitrust act for a
group of newspapers TO form an as
sociation to collect and distribute
news for their common benefit and
to that end to agree to furnish news
collected by them only to each other
or to the association: provided that
no attempt is made to prevent mem,
bers from purchasing or otherwise
obtaining news from rival agencies.
And if that is true the corollary must
be true, namely, that newspapers de-
string to form and maintain such an
organization may determine who shall
be and who shall not be their asso-
ciates
1T is perhaps unnecessary for me
to point out that if the Sun Printing
and Publishing association is not
satisfied with the conclusions | have
reached, it may itself bring suit
against the Associated Press, either
for an Injunction or for damages, and
thereby obtain a judicial determine
tion as to the merits of its complaint.

NoPAH WoMAN'S CLUB
FOR ACTION

The attention of the Tonopah Wo-
mans club is respectfully directed
to the practice of certain business
houses in permitting their employees
to deposit the contents of cuspidors
in the alleys to the rear. This sputum
contains germs of disease. When still
in liquid form it is innocuous, but
when il dries the germs are caught
up by the breezes and waited into
the threats and nostrils of passersby
1t is understood that the Tonopah
Woman's club has taken upon itself
certain duties for the betterment of
sanitation in this city and this sug-
gestion, which is not of the Bonanza s
originatlon, but made through this
paper by a subscriber. is offered not
as a criticism, but as a helpful sug-
gestion.
