The
girl
blushed
.
A
wealthy
woman
who
had
inherited
an
oil
refinery
,
asked
guiltily
,
"
What
should
we
do
to
raise
the
people
s
literary
taste
,
Mr
.
Eubank
?
"
"
That
is
a
great
social
problem
,
"
said
Balph
Eubank
.
He
was
described
as
the
literary
leader
of
the
age
,
but
had
never
written
a
book
that
sold
more
than
three
thousand
copies
.
"
Personally
,
I
believe
that
an
Equalization
of
Opportunity
Bill
applying
to
literature
would
be
the
solution
.
"
"
Oh
,
do
you
approve
of
that
Bill
for
industry
?
I
m
not
sure
I
know
what
to
think
of
it
.

Certainly
,
I
approve
of
it
.
Our
culture
has
sunk
into
a
bog
of
materialism
.
Men
have
lost
all
spiritual
values
in
their
pursuit
of
material
production
and
technological
trickery
.
They
re
too
comfortable
.
They
will
return
to
a
nobler
life
if
we
teach
them
to
bear
privations
.
So
we
ought
to
place
a
limit
upon
their
material
greed
.
"
"
I
hadn
t
thought
of
it
that
way
,
"
said
the
woman
apologetically
.
"
But
how
are
you
going
to
work
an
Equalization
of
Opportunity
Bill
for
literature
,
Ralph
?
"
asked
Mort
Liddy
.
"
That
s
a
new
one
on
me
.
"
"
My
name
is
Balph
,
"
said
Eubank
angrily
.
"
And
it
s
a
new
one
on
you
because
it
s
my
own
idea
.

Okay
,
okay
,
I
m
not
quarreling
,
am
I
?
I
m
just
asking
.
"
Mort
Liddy
smiled
.
He
spent
most
of
his
time
smiling
nervously
.
He
was
a
composer
who
wrote
old
-
fashioned
scores
for
motion
pictures
,
and
modern
symphonies
for
sparse
audiences
.
"
It
would
work
very
simply
,
"
said
Balph
Eubank
.
"
There
should
be
a
law
limiting
the
sale
of
any
book
to
ten
thousand
copies
.
This
would
throw
the
literary
market
open
to
new
talent
,
fresh
ideas
and
non
-
commercial
writing
.
If
people
were
forbidden
to
buy
a
million
copies
of
the
same
piece
of
trash
,
they
would
be
forced
to
buy
better
books
.
"
"
You
ve
got
something
there
,
"
said
Mort
Liddy
.
"
But
wouldn
t
it
be
kinda
tough
on
the
writers
bank
accounts
?
