Professor Munn's Committee can not continue to assume the duties of the Freshman Advisers every year, unless more instructors are assigned to do this work. The Committee should either be enlarged to take over the job of advising on a much larger scale, or preferably it should be allowed to resume the work it was originally intended to do, namely to supervise the flexible Quota System and continue to collect the information for the University, which it has done so far in a most efficient and praise-worthy manner...
...independent U. S. grocers, druggists, jobbers and their lawyers. Their purpose was to lobby for anti-chain-store legislation, particularly the so-called Robinson-Patman Bill, one of a score of measures introduced in this session of Congress with the avowed intention of undercutting the advantages of large-scale merchandising.

For years, in spite of perfect law enforcement against crooks, grafters, gangsters, and passion murderers, the real, big-shot law-breakers, men who did things on a large scale, have escaped not only with their lives, liberties, and reputations, but with fat fortunes, offices in Wall Street, houses with swimming-pools and hot baths on Long Island, innumerable servants, debutante daughters, jewel-laden side-kicks, clubs with arm-chairs and whiskey, in fact, all the good things in life, as well.
