TnF NEWS COPYRIGHT BILL.

A copyright or patent secures to th,
writer or inventor for limited time Z
monopoly 10 his own creation or invention
For what purpose is this monopoly grant
ed? II Is 10 stimulate creative talent. rhi,
must be the only reason. for during the
life oil the copyright or patent the public
is the poorer for the grant of the monop
oily. All legislation must be for the public
good, and hence there can be no justifica-
iion in copyright or patent laws, except on
ihe sound theory that the ultimate results
justify temporary monopoly.
Now does the business OF news gathering
need the slimulnnt Of copyright? il
would be folly TO say that !. does. The
rewards oil Judicions expenditure in the
collection oi news are ample, aud the
strong newspapers which are ihe cham
pions of the news copyright bill are among
the most prosperous business enterprise
In the country.
The metropolitan newspapers claim that
they expend large sums in the collection
of news, and hence that they should be
protected In it's Use by copyright. C,py.
right and patent laws are not made h
reward individuals or corporations for the
expenditure OF money, but 10 slmulaie
creative aud inventive talent. II copy
right can he granted on news, IL must I,e
10 him who creates or invents news, and
not to The newspapers which are buyers OF
and dealers in news.
What 10 news? The statement OF facts,
The history OF current events. Can. an,
one create or invent fact or event? I'm,
qseslionahly not. What therefore are the
reasonable grounds Tor copyright?
News Is the history Of the time. TIL,
law should not make II the property OF any
person or monopoly.-Et.
