I do not appear in that role. In business, as in all things else, ther» is but one measure, and that is the old fashioned standard of honest? of our forefathers. The individual or corporation that departs from that standard should be as drastically punished as any public official WHO IS RECREANT TO HIS TRUST. That a number of individuals or a score of corporations are deserving candidates for such punishment does not justify an indiscriminate assault upon th» corporation AS AN INSTITUTION or the individual who > recta it. lhere is too much unhealthy legislation and not half enough healthy resjiect for the laws we have.
