The talks Of tho day were divided
into five five minutc periods. devoted
to discussing business and profession
al ethics. B. K. Skcels led off on 1.-THE
merits and dement's Of installment
selling" There weren't any dement's,
nc said. The plan gives people what
they need on all easy paying basis
budget buying" he would call 1t. He
could not see that it led to extrava-
sance-the tale of the savings bank
deposits belied the suspicion, he said.
As to buying nOn-esscntials. who can
tell in this age what a o n-esscntial
is? he asked.
Roy Logan spoke on Undue de-
mand for service by customers He
also failed 10 see any such phase in
business.
A Lawyers Duty
Whether 1t is right for a lawyer
to defend a person he knows to be
guilty was answered affirmatively in
a theoretic sense by G. l.. Young. He
qualified this by saying that a lawyer
is an officer Of the court and as such,
has q duty to discharge. In the case
Of q person guilty, the duty is to see
that the defendant gets a trial in con-
formity with law. that all hts rights
under the law are respected and that
the jury trying him is composed of
peers"
Some lawyers lose all their pep, Mr..
Young admitted, when they learn that
their client is really guilty. They are
apt to advise that he either plead
guilty or hire another counsel. In
fact. In such a case. Mr. Young sug-
gested. it was the safer course for a
defendant to employ a lawyer who
has not yet become wise.
Fec Splitting
Whether it Is right for phySi-
clans and surgeons to split fees" was
answered by Dr.. l.. w. Larson with
an emphatic No. He said 1t isn't done
here and 1t has been frowned down
BY the American Medical association.
One objection is the c0mmercialism
involved, the possibility that the fee
splitting surgeon may be incompetent
for the case involved and. lastly. the
patient may be given unnecessary
treatment.
Labelling Goods Honestly
The value Of honest labelling and
frank description of merchandise was
discussed by Henry J. Duemelatd. He
made an illustration Of what that
means by comparing two cans Of peas.
Each bore q label showing sizes by
grading numbers and pictures, but
one bore the number of the grade
contained, while the other was filled
with the leavings Of all sizes Of peas
after various patches had been
canned. That completes with the
honestly labeled pea by selling ut .
lower price.
Mr.. Duemeland showed a sample Of
the new description of goods-a glass
jar containing carrots. The goods arc
sold In tin cans. but the glass con-
tainer enables the buyer to sec what
he will get. This is going to become
4 general practice, Mr.. Duemeland
predicted.
