Representative Smith has introduced a bill in Congress which
is designed so to amend the patent law that it will be impossible to
monopolize patents of nseful or necessary articles, and to prevent
corporations from buying them up and retiring them from the
market. His bill provides that any person may make and sell any
patented article on the payment of the royalty demanded and OIL
stamping on the article the amount of the royalty bald. He be
ieves this will fully protect the patentee and at the same time pre-
vent articles from being monopolized or withdrawn from sale.
