4 SUCCESSFUL PATEyT APPEAL.


One of the foreign patents revoked in the last
few months under the provisions of the new
English law is owned by the Westinghouse
company. Taking advantage Of a right conceded
by that enactment the defendant appealed from
the decision of the Comptroller of Patents to
one of the courts, and reversal of the decree
has been secured. possibly on the strength Of
new evidence which the Westinghouse COM
pany was permitted to introduce The disposi-
ton of the case now announced is final and
hence the rights originally granted by the Brit
ish patent remain unimpaired.
1t was apparent from the testimony presented
at the hearing given by the Comptroller that the
article thus protected ian electric lamp was not
manufactured chiefly or exclusively in the
United Kingdom. 1t was necessary, therefore,
under the terms Of the law to consider whether
the Westinghouse company could give ''satis-
factory reasons for not making more lamps
in Great Britain. The reasons offered did not
convince the Comptroller, but Mr. Justice
Parker, who heard the appeal, reached differ
ent conclusion.
Much interest has been felt in this case he
cause of the prominence Of the company whose
property was involved, but the outcome is note
worthy for other reasons The reversal Of the
decision seems to indicate that the new law or
ar least, the revocation clause Of the new law,
is not likely to prove so hurtful to foreigners as
was feared ar one time OF course. 1t would be
foolish 70 assume that sll appeals will result
as favorahIy as did the Westinghouse COM
pany's. Every case should. and doubtless will,
be decided on frs own merits, and a perfect
parallel TO the just decided may not soon
occur. Nevertheless, what seems 10 be gen
erous Interpretation of the new law cannot
fail TO produce a favorable impression IN this
country.

INTERNATIONAL TAX PRoBLEMs.

An international tax problem has arisen in
Japan which is causing the foreign residents of
that country much concern, which will probably
give diplomats much work and which may
finally have to be disposed Of by the arbitral
tribunal at The Hague as similar and cognate
problem recently was. Four years ago there
was referred to The Hague the question whether
the japanese government had a right to tax
land which was held by foreigners on perpetual
lease or the buildings erected thereon The
Japanese government insisted that II had that
right while the leaseholdeTs Contended that the
rental which they paid included all taxation,
and they pointed out that such was recognized
to be the case before the abolition of extra-ter
ritorisiity and that the revised treaties provided
that property holders should continue to enjoy
the same rights before. The decision Of The
Hague in 1905 was favorable to the property
holders, and the Japanese government
quiesced in it and relinquished its claims to the
right of taxation
Intent however, upon increasing in some way
its revenue from the land thus held by foreign
ers, the Japanese government ingenously de-
vised q system Of taxes on business and on in
comes which it levied against the occupants of
those leased lands which were free from land
tax and house tax. It argued that there was
nothing in the decision of The Hague or IN ar
rangements which existed under the extra terri
torlaI system which FORBADE the leYytnR OF taxes
upon business or upon incomes, and that hold
ers of perpetual land leases were properly sub
ject to such taxes In common with everybody
else. To this the property holders replied that
exemption from taxation on land and buildings
logically implied exemption from taxation on the
business conducted on and the income derived
from such property. Indeed they insisted that
a tax upon the business or the income of prop
erty would in effect be tax upon the property
~
of The Hague.
The issue has already been acutely raised
Various municipalities have arranged their
budgets the basis of levying and collecting
these business and income taxes, and If they do
not collect them their finances will be seriously
deranged. Foreign property holders, on the other
hand, had held meetings to protest against the
proposed taxes and have appealed to the diplo.
matte representatives Of their governments for
counsel and aid 1t is understood that the
British, French and German ambassadors have
advised their clients to nay the taxes, perhaps

THE STRAIGHT FIVE CENT FARE.

Mr. George H. Earle, who recently trtumphed
IN the sugar refinery case, who IS head OF five
or six banks ana altogether one Of the I'M
portant men financially of Philadelphia, has
Just been made one Of that city's representa-
tives in the directorate of the Philadelphia
Traction Company. He was formerly director
representing the interests of the stockholders.
and now he is n director representing the IN
terests Of the public. His point of view does
not appear to have changed, perhaps because
he is sure the interests of the two are identical
His letter accepting his present appointment
ends whatever hope may have existed that the
city's representatives would work 10 restore
transfers or six-for-a- quarter tickets. The abo-
iition of cut rate tickets was due to 'agitators,
he writes, but nevertheless, the step was neces-
sary if the traction company was not 10 be
driven into bankruptcy.
Apparently then, the theory which traction
managers have been holding for year or more,
here and elsewhere. that If transfers could be
abolished all would be we'll Is 10 have a test
in Philadelphia. The straight Scent fare exists
there now, and It is going 10 save the street
railways from bankruptcy We shall see what
virtue there is in this remedy when 1t has had
its test. The only evidence that now exists IS
the testimony Of Mr.. Whltridge. the receiver
of the Third Avenue Railway Company, that
the extensive cutting of of transfers between
MS system ana the httTpFoliidu IidCtIph Noiil-
panv lines did not affect the revenue Of the
Third Avenue company percephbly. The peo-
pie have a way of promptly adjusting their
habits TO a reduction in traction accommoda-
ton. Of riding less and paying only p single
fare after all
reduction In traffic on the Philadelphia
lines will very likely be fonnd to balance all
the advantages to the company of the increase
In fares, and if the prospect Of bankruptcy was
really before the company 1t will probably be
found not 10 have been removed by the expe-
dient of a straight 5-cent fare The heavy fixed
charges Of the Philadelphia system. loaded
unon il hv the sam group of financiers that
piled up the fixed charges which the receivers Of
the Metropolitan Traction system here have
been cutting down, still remain to he met.
Nevertheless, the results Of a straight 5-cent

serve. and we do not know Of any people bet
ter fitted by temper to he the subject OF the
experiment than the patient Phladelphians.
