THE SERVANT IS WORTHY OF
HIS HIRE

Not infrequently news item comes
to the desk about dealers in some town
trying to get an ordinance passed to
keep the itinerant peddlers out. The
complaint is that wandering peddlers
who pay no taxes are willing to &C
cept a small return for their efforts
or no return at all, fill the market
with lot of cheap produce and no
one can make profit.
The complaints sound reasonable
and always arouse our sympathy.
When profit is cut off, conditions are
bad. 1t not only is bad in the field
from which profits have vanished,
but it is bad all around. People who
have lost their profit have not been
paid for their work and have no
money to spend, and the hurt is felt
in other fields.
