The Senate hearing at Albany to-day on the
bill introduced in the Assembly by Mr.. Bennett

Of LEROY Stewart r. d. Hewitt and Mrs. G. Demp-

an extremely diversified effect, for while the pict-
ures are all modern they are Of many different
schools.

NEW BUDGET METHODS.

The appointment by President Taft of Cabi-
net budget committee marks change OF hscal
policy at Washington which ought to result III
the saving annually of many millions of dollars
The credit of the innovation is due In the first
instance to the Appropriations Committee OF the
House of Representatives, which had inserted III
the sundry civil appropriation bill passed at the
last session of Congress a provision intended 10
facilitate cooperation between Congress and the
executive departments in the work of preparing
the annual budget and to divide more fairly the
responsibility for increased appropriations. Ihe
Tribune on February % last warmly commended
the legislation drawn by the House Appropria-
tions Committee and called attention 10 its adj
vantages We are greatly pleased to see so
rational reform undertaken with the cordial
assent of both the executive and legislative de
partments.
The old system of budget making was lax and
clumsy and promoted friction rather than co
operation. The executive departments submitted
estimates of expenditure to the House of Repre-
sentatives but assumed no serious responsibility
for them Taken together. they always exceeded
the estimated revenues Each department tried
Ia get as much as it could. without concerning
itself about the condition of the Treasury. Until
Congress stopped the practice, few years ago
heads of departments and bureaus did not hes-
tate 10 snend more than the amounts allotted 70
fcencv appropriatIons These deficiencies used
to run as high as s2O,O00,000 or S30,ooo,OOo
wear The House of Representatives, which
originates appropriation bills thus found itself
nlaced in the unenviable position of having to
combat executive extravaganza, to cut estimates
ia fit the governments revenues and to assume
the odium of reducing appropriations In which
particular sections of the country or infuentla
services like the army and the navy were inter
ested

We called attention the other day 10 the fact
that the Senate has always added TO the totals
of the appropriation bills passed by the House
For the three fiscal years 190T-0S, 190S-09 and
19O9-1O the Senate's increases amounted 10

THE RELOCATION OF PATENTS.

That clause Of the new English patent law
which authorizes the revocation of q foreign
patent under certain circumstances has recently
been the subject of discussion by outside CON
tributOrs 10 the columns of The London Times"
One writer, in a letter TO the editor complained
that the enactment a hardship to inventors
residing elsewhere than in the United Kingdom
They would, he felt sure, be dlssuaded from
taking out more patents in England. and would
be tempted to keep their money and Inventions
too"
From this doctrine Mr. J. Ewart Walker dis
sents vigorously the ground that a foreigner
would need to take out an English patent
in sef-defence If he had any really valuable
idea. Without such protection, 1t was pointed
out, the foreigner could not be sure that some
English manufacturer would not produce the
article. All the necessary information about
the invention could be secured In public libraries
containing the specifications Of patents issued in
the United States and the countries Of Continen-
tai Europe Refusal to apply for a patent in
England would not insure secrecy there Fur
thermore. says Mr.. Walker England's law is
not SO severe as Germany's and Austria's. In
the two countries last mentioned revocation is
made compulsory, whereas in England the gov
ernment does not take the initiative and IFS
decision remains in doubt even after a petition
for withdrawal of patent rights has been
fled. In Germany and Austria forfeiture re-
suits from failure to begin manufacturing there
within three years from the issue of patent
No adverse proceedings are possible in England
in less than four years.
The opinion has more than once been ex.
pressed that the new English law was aimed
rather at Germany than any other country. and
if Mr. Walkers statements are correct it is
easy 10 understand the desire TO Impose some
of the same conditions on German inventors as
Germany imposes on those Of England. The
rule threatens TO work to the disadvantage of
American inventors however, and as the United
States has not required the foreigner to manu-
facture here the Payne tariff bill meets this
situation by providing that foreign patents
