TARDY JUSTICE.

Just as the war tax is taken off small
checks, money orders, proprietary medi-
cines, etc, the United States supreme
court decides that express companies
must under the law pay the 1-cent tax
on express packages received for trans
portation. The express companies have
lodged this tax since the passage of the
tax law, have thus forced their patrons
to pay thousands of dollars and now
when there is little at stake, they per-
nit the supreme court to deciue the
law against them just as the law goes
out of effect.
The parcels post is the proper medi-
cine to administer to these express COM
panies. When mail and express pack
ages are often carried in the same car
and always on the same train, there is
no reason why both should not be car
ried by the government as postal mat
ter. Now each train has an express
messenger besides the railway mail
agent. The mail agents could look
after all and this expense be saved to
the public. When express companies
and banks dodge their just taxes it is
time to retire them from business. They
should be compelled to put up or shut
up. 1t Is these same express companies
and banks that are pushing the Loud
postal bin at every session Of congress
and thus trying to muzzle the country
press and give to the great city dailies
monopoly Of the newspaper business.

The registration Of trade marks has
become necessity Of late years, for
unless an article of merit Is protected
hy such means or by letters patent it
is sure TO be initiated by some un-
scrupuious person. 1t is only within
few years. however, that the question
of protecting trade marks has assumed
grave Importance This is due to the
enormous increase in advertising or
health foods cereals, patent medicines
and athletic novelties. The tariff OF
charges for registering trade-marks IN
tile various countries seems in some IN
stances to be based upon the idea that
authorized labels and the like are as
much luxury as Il coach and four. In
Zululand Peru. Uruguay, Hong Kong
and Granada the tariff fixed by law for
each trademark Is Si43 in gold, the
highest on the entire list.
In this country trademarks are filed
with the patent office. and the price for
registering one is so, which Is the low
est rate charged anywhere. Canada
charges 500 for a general or special
trademark. There are some countries
of Furone that demand $100 for reg
istering a trademark but IN Great
Britain Germany. Austria, France and
Spain the fee In each case is SO. This
is the rate asked in the majority OF the
English colonies, including New South
