THE AMAZING
MIR. SECO

Consider for minute the amazing case of
Mr.. Seco and Mr. Cos.
Mr.. Seco obtains formal legal contract
to do certain work for Mr.. Cos. He is to re-
ceive certain pay. The contract is TO run
for a certain period. Mr. Seco agrees to do
so and so for Mr.. Cos. if the latter in turn
will give the former a monopoly of the bust
ness.
So the bargain, we'll understood by both
parties, is signed and sealed and lived up to
implicitly by Mr.. Co.'S
But after a time Mr.. Seco comes TO the
conclusion that his profits aren't as large as
he wishes and he gets sick of his own agree
ment.
So, he says, III just break the contract so
far as il binds NE. But of course, | want ii
to remain binding on Mr.. Cos.
will be freed of all the onerous duties !
am obligated to render him. But he will
have to continue to give me monopoly OF
his business, and at higher rate of pay,
to boot.
Mr. Cos, not being fool, of course, won't
listen to such an infamous offer.
Now suppose that Mr.. Seco went to COM
mittee of typical Seattle business men and
laid the case before them. What would they
say'
They'd cali him rascal of course and
refuse to listen to his crooked proposal.
Suppose he'd go to a committee of labor
ing men, or doctors, or army officers, or
private soldiers, or ministers, or bartenders,
or chauffeurS.
Any such committee would Indignantly
tell him he hadn't foot to stand on and that
if he expected Mr. Cos to be bound by his
agreement, that he. Mr. Seco, must live up
to his They'd think him yellow cur TO
propose such duplcity.
BUT, Seattle people, suppose now that M
Seco, instead went to a committee OF nine
lawyers and laid his case before them. What
do you suppose THAT committee would
say' Would it pass on question of business
honor as any other committee OF citizens
would do, or would the question of business
honor at once become "an involved legal
question" which might be juggled like a
magicians deck of cardS'
Well, for the answer to those questions,
wait and see Because the case Of Mr.. Seco,
often known as the Seattle Electric Company,
against Mr.. Cos, our old friend the City OF
Seattle, is about to be heard by the supreme
court
Can contract be smashed all to
smithereens by one party and Still be held
binding on the other?
It's an involved legal question that our
nine infallibe Olympia minds are about to
grapple with.
