THE PREMIUM LAW.
Bismarck, N. D., May "a, 1911

Bismarck, N. D., May "a, 1917.
Editor Tribune:
The Legislature passed an act
known as House Bill No. 427, reuuir-
ing local merchants to pay an annual
license OF $4,000 to use or give trad.
ing stamps or coupons as a rebate
with merchandise sold for cash, but
this act permits manufacturers, Job
bers. packers, etc., to attach to, or
contain them in their particular goods,
in the original package.
The Massachusetts Supreme Court
on April % last, gave an opinion to
the Legislature of that State holding
unconstitutional a similar bill which
was before the Legislature, and which
made it legal for local merchants to
issue, and use any kind of coupons
or rebate ticket so long as they were
redeemable directly by the merchants
and not through third parties. That
act had for its purpose discrimina-
ton against trading stamp companies
only, while the North Dakota statute
discriminates against the local mer-
chant, and in favor of the manufact-
urer and packer, by allowing them to
redeem coupons without paying the
$4,000 prohibitive license. The
same constitutional question appears
to be involved in both acts. The Mas
sachusetts Supreme Court says: "The
proposed act, upon which our opinion
is now asked, declared trading stamps
redeema BILE by the vendor alone, to
be legal, and those redeemable by
any one other than the vendor, to be
legal. The. question now asked of us
in view of opinion of Justices, 2O8
Mass. COZ, in substance is whether
such distinction can be made. We
are of the opinion that no such dis

D. D. Brennan, Assistant Attorney
General, gave an opinion to the North
Dakota Legislature holding House
Bill 427 constitutional. In his opin-
ion, he says: "The gist Of the bill is
that the retailer as such, cannot use
his own stamps, or stamps furnished
him by any one but the manufacturer,
!jobber, INSTRUMENTATION packer of the
goods in which the trading stamp or
other devices are contained, or to
which they-are attached may be used
and redeemed without license
Mr.. Brennan holds this can be done.
That such an exemption does not make
the bill unconstitutional Citing some
late United States Court cases as au-
thority, the Mass. court reviews these
same decisions and says:
"The Supreme Court of the United
States has determined in Rast VS..

upon which the decision of the Su-
preme judicial Court of this Common

A positive statement has been made
in writing to Commercial Clubs in

sage of House Bill 429, in the Legis-
lature that more than $4,5OO.OO was
used to pay Attorneys and Lobbyists
to pass this bill, and it is understood
that if the Referendum which is being
invoked against this measure is sue
cessful or not the Bill will be. at

Those things that the administra

which the navy went into action.

Congress can, in emergency, really
act with despatch and completeness
But Congress will have to get busy
auckland do a lot of things that
there is no present Indication It will
do. We wait and watch, with less
patience each day.
In various sections of this country
an insidious and underhandel cam.
paign is being waged, whose purpose
is to cripple the United States in the
war and to help Germany Tic ia
vorite line of talk may be boiled down
to two harmful questions:
."Why should we fight sor England?
"Why should we lend our money to
England?'
The object, of course, is to retard
the sale of the Liberty Loan bonds
and throw damper upon the enthusi-
asm for this war for the liberty Of
the world.
Now, as a matter OF cold. hard fact,
we are not going to fight for England,
nor for France, but with them, .,dii}Hlt|
For nearly three years they have
been spending their money and their
best and bravest blood in a cause
which was not only their cause, but
as it has turned out. our cause.
When we advance money to our
allies we merely enable them to fight
a dangerous foe while we slowly
make ready. g.:
When we finally place our own men
in the trenches of Flanders and
France we will be fighting for our
own safety and freedom, as we'll as

THE AVERAGE BOY.


What would the average boy do If
he found $4,000?
Is William Diliwiski an exceptional
boy?
Or is he just an average American
lad who believes honesty is the right
system and playing the game Of life
on the square gets you further than
playing it like an outlaw?
William is a messenger boy in New
York. A great many people think a
New Yotk inessenger boy wouldn't be
their choice as q nearer of great
wealth. But, of course, that idea
should be- buried along-yes, messen-
gers do hustle-with his kilograms,
when he stumbled over a fat envel-
ope. That envelope contained $4,000
in negotiable express money orders
William marched right back to his
office with that big envelope, to the
great relief of a much worried ex.
press driver.
1t is fitting that William has been
promised a better Job
William could have bully time on
$lO,G00-and wound up in stripes.
Now, we think William did just
what the average boy would do. We
believe the average boy is about the
finest thing there Is. What do you
think about It? -
We're strong for William-and the
average American boy!
