Its of the direct contract plan of deal
ing between customer and wholesaler.

magazines on the so-called "druggists'
trusts," and the attempt of the gov
ernment to make It appear that those
who have engaged In the contract plan
are participants in a conspiracy, fie
held that druggists might as well pro
tect themselves against cut rates as
railroads against v realp«h*a of tickets.
He took* up all the questions which
bf drug-
hare attrnctbd the attention
gists during the past year.

wrote John A. Boykin, an attorney,

'It is easy to tell how the street
