L, "To the honest business man who

complains of bearing the expense of
such an Institution, I would answer
that there is no such thing in this
life as absolute Justice," said Senator
George V. Norrls, in his talk on the
federal trade commission before the
Commercial club at noon. "All must
pay for the depredation of the dis
honest. We have to maintain courts
and departments of justice, while
the majority of those who support
these institutions do not need them.
I think, however, that when this
commission conies into full operation
it must eventually be to every hon
est business man a boon and a great
help.
