a CASE WITHOUT PRECEDENT.

Judge Dale, of Oklahoma, Says United
states Statutes Belong to All of Us.
GUTHRIE, Ok. March 29.-Judge Dale,
In the district court here, rendered a
decision without a precedent in the
United States. 1t was in a case brought
by the territory against the State Cap
ital Printing Co. for printing and sell
ing statute books which the territory
had copyrighted. Judge Dale holds
that the government is not person
or ''citizen" in any sense, and that
only persons or citizens are entitled to
copyrights that state govern
ment is not an institution organized
for profit out of anything arising from
its sovereignty; that the laws belong
to the people, and any citizen has
proprietary interest i'll them and can
publish them if he sees fit. The court
could find no other decision on the sub
ject anywhere on record and was
obliged to tread entirely on new
ground.

Senator Smith, OF New Jersey, Wants Ex-
port Premiums Grain and Cotton.
WASHINGTON, March 80. = Senator
Pettigrew's declared purpose to propose
an antitrust amendment to the tariff
bill, coming in such. close conjunction
with the supreme courts decision in
the Transmissouri freight pool case, is
giving much anxiety to protectionist
senators who respect aggregated
capital. Now Senator Smith, of
New Jersey, a democrat, declares
that he will offer an amend
ment to the tariff bill to provide for
the payment of a bounty on wheat ana
cotton, two of the principal articles of
export. He says that neither wheat
nor cotton are imported into this coun-
try in quantities to interfere in any
degree with American wheat and
cotton growers and that there
fore the domestic producers of these
articles cannot be protected by import
duties as can manufacturers. He in
sists that there is no essential differ
ence between a protective duty and a
bounty, and that as wheat and cotton
cannot be protected by a duty, it is but
fair to help them by bounty.

WASHINGTON, March 29.-Congress-

rotary Bliss a vigorous protest against
the proposed removal of the Topeka
pension agency to st. Louis. He de-
clares that it cannot be possible that
$1O5, 675.37 will be saved in clerk hire,
but on the contrary that it will cost at
least SIT, O3O extra for rewriting the
roll books as the result of the CONSOLE
dation, and then $780, 600 more will be
needed to compare the new rolls with
those in the interior department. He
declares also that there would be
heavy expenses from the renting of
new rooms and in conclusion figures
out that the carrying out of consolida-
ton would cost the government at
least S321. 900.
