Wireless Telegraph Laws.

The difficulty experienced recently
in communicating VITA a sinking ship
by wireless telegraph because of the
interference of an experimental sta
ton and a. student operator has dem1
onstrated the need of rules and regu@
lations for the protection Of the wire
less service against indiscriminate and
irresponsible hindrance. 1t is a mat
ter of serious import, not only threat
enfng the destruction of property
values, but of human life as we'll.
No one will for a moment question
the value of the wireless telegraph and
it's offspring, the wireless telephone.
They are of economical construction,
requiring much less expense than the
regular wire system, and are of in
estimable value because of their In
versal practically, especially in
emergency. Under any and all circum-
stances the protection afforded to life
on the high a against disaster due
to storms or accident would of itself
make protection imperative. That is
the prime reason for it. But, in addi-
ton, the service would need guarding
in times of international trouble in
order that every possible leakage Of
news or of Official communication
might be precluded.
The request now being made of con-
gress to pass laws restraining ire
sponsible individuals from further i'm
pairing and interfering with the eff
cheney of the service VIII probably be
considered %favorably. 1t is a practical
request and will appeal to all as rea-
sonable and desirable. Every device
or invention of a like value merits
every reasonable projections which can
be thrown around It by federal statute.

cause Of his breaks on matters con
corning which he is but slightly in

injudicious and people smiled, but

Omaha daily bee., 1910-03-04

The first year Of President Taft's
administration as chief executive of
the country is just being completed,
and while It must be admitted there
are more or less murmurings Of dis
content over the prevailing high cost
Of living and the apparent slowness
in carrying out campaign promises
which the administration is trying to
redeem, nearly every one comedies
that the president has made the best
of trying conditions and that the oun
try is enjoying prosperity in a degree
seldom before known.
For his first year President Taft has
TO show the new tariff law. enacted
at the special session of congress
called for that particular purpose, In
der which the Industries Of the coun-
try have been steadily expanding and
the revenue of the government con-
stantly increasing. President Taft
signed this bill TO make it a law, and
has more than once affirmed his con-
viction that, while by no means per
feet, it is a decided improvement over
the Dingley law which IT supplanted.
The president has likewise put him
self on record from time to time on
nearly all the current issues, outlining
the legislation which he thinks ought
to be enacted in orcer TO clinch the
Roosevelt policies inaugurated by his
predecessor. The cases instituted
against the trusts under the Sherman
law are being prosecuted, and the rate
law is being invoked to prevent the
efforts Of the railroads TO raise their
schedules of transportation charges.
While there has been some friction
here and there in the odcial family,
the most conspicuous of which has
produced the' Ballinger- Pinchot con
troversy, the most notable feature OF
the new administration has been the
movement for retrenchment all along
the line with a view to cutting off I'M
necessary expenditures and placing
the government on a more economic
basis.
1t goes without saying, of course,
that the democratic opposition will
give Mr.. Taft no credit whatever for
what he has done so far. But that is
what usually happens on that score.
Four years ago when Mr.. Roosevelt
was completing the first year of his
elective tenure of the White House
the democratic organs were likewise
assailing him as a gallery player"
and a "do-nothing," and they would
be barking up the same tree, no mat
ter what republican might be presi-
dent, so long as the democratic candi-
date failed to land. President Taft
has no bed of roses, but neither has
he shown the white feather.

A Car Fare Mystery.

In the tabulation of the expenses in
Cured in running the county govern
ment last year are two items for street
car fare charged up to the probation
officers and the Detention home, aggre-
eating $52O.46. Assuming that this
investment in street car fares was at
the retail price of 8 cents per ride, this
means that the county paid for 1O,409
rides in connection with the work of
rounding up mischievous youngsters,
or for an average of nearly thirty rides
a day for every day in the year, in
Guiding Sundays, Christmas, New
Years, the Fourth of July and each and
every other holiday.
OF course, this riding in street cars
is much cheaper to the taxpayers than
riding in carriages or automobiles
would have been. But IL everyone for
whom street car rides were bought at
public expense got their full moneys
worth some of them must have been
riding around town from morning until
night, and perhaps have slept in the
cars so as to be ready for the first run
out the next day. Children who want
free street car rides should connect up
with the probation officers.

A billboard Decision.

The supreme court Of Missouri has
just handed down a decision in a bill
board case which ought to contribute
materially to the campaign against the
billboard nuisance, not only in that
state, but throughout the country.
The decision upholds the right, al
most without limitation, of the city of
st. Louis to regulate and control bill
boards erected and maintained within
its city limits. The opinion of the
court declares hat the average bill
board display is a constant menace to
public safety, health and morals; that
the billboards constitute hiding places
and retreats for criminals and that the
city has a legal right to enforce re-
strictive regulations on billboards or
to abate them as a nuisance altogether.
AS a consequence the injunction which
a big billboard agency had secured to
prevent interference with a most con-
spicuous and Objectionable exhibit of
advertising signs has been dissolved
and the decision of the lower court re-
versed, with specific afirmance of the
validity of the st. Louis billboard
ordinance.
If the law as laid down in Missouri
rests on the same principles as does
the law in other states the authorities
vested with power to regulate and con
troll the billboards have all the legal
backing necessary to cope with them,
and If these n~uisances are permitted to
continue and to spread it will be the
fault of the city officials, and not be-
cause Of want of authority.

KNOCK ON PATENT GRABS.
Ia the Government O-ver-Generous to
I~nventOrsR

Is the Government Over-GenerOus to
I~nventOrsF
Charleston News and Courier.
The United States n all other civilized
countries are generous to inventors. This
country grants patent rights that are ex-
elusive for a long term OF years, thus as
surfing, as far as can be done, to the in
ventor Of a meritorious article a full re-
turn for his service to the nation. How
ever, 1t Is questionable II the government
is not too generous when it in no way
limits the profit which the inventor is TO
make from his invention.
Some years ago a man obtained a patent
on a basic principle used In all gasoline
motors. His invention was Of little prac-
tical value until some other man or men
perfected the motor car. Now every auto
mobile manufacturer In the United States
pays a royalty to this inventor and his
profits are out Of all proportion to his de-
serts. He has taken advantage of a sit
uatlon and Is using the government Of the
people to tax the people. Would 1t not
have been perfectly proper for the patent
office 10 ave determined the price at
which this inventor should have permitted
the use Of his i%nvention2
There is another man who invented a
new shaving apparatus. 1t is said that
he exaots a profit Of 800 per cent on every
one OF his articles sold. Plainly this Is not
fair. 1t is as bad as a protective tariff.
The list might be carried on indefinitely.
It seems that the government should de-
wise some scheme for preventing inventors
abusing their rights. No man should be
allowed 10 exact az unfair profit from a
necessity simply because he happened to
invent It. He should receive a large re-
ward, no doubt, but the overnmen should
grant patents in such form that continued
monopoly Of a product would be impossible.
We do not know exactly how II could be
done, but there is doubtless some way.
Edison might have mad the price OF cleo
trio cars prohibitive had he followed In the
wake OF some OF the grasping inventors
who went before him. A reform Of some
kind Is needed.

NORTH DAKOTA RATE CASE.
Important Issues Argued I'm FEEDERS
Supreme Court.

CHICdBO news,
North Dakota's Legislature has passed a
law making tile crate for hauling coal
within hat state considerably lower than
the rate hitherto 8 prevailing. The object
is to render it possible to mine and ship
Ignite coal, which is found in large guam
Titles in the state. The railroads affected
the law. The case had a hearing on ap-
preme court at Washington.
The proceeding is important because Il
involves a question of rate making power
with respect to commodities which hereto.
fore has not been clearly raised before the
federal supreme court. The railroads do
not contend that their business within the
state of North Dakota, taken as a whole,
Is improbable. Their argument is that
this particular rate is made too low. Coun-
sci for the state take the ground tina the
railroads complaint as TO the injustice of
a particular rate cannot be heard unless
they are prepared to show that their bust
ness as a whole is Improbable. It is ar
gued further that If the railroads may at
tack separate rates as fixed by the gov
erning authorities, they can make a fiasco
Of public regulation.
The principle of legal ratio making for
which the railroads are contending in this
litigation is at variance with their own
practice. Their usage is to charge what
the traffic will bear. Rates rendering IL
Improbable to mine and ship North Da-
kota's Ignite coal are higher than the
traffic will bear. Railroads aim to carry
no commodities at less than operating cost.
But they frequently make rates which,
while leaving a margin Of profit above
operating cost. are Improbable is main
%tenance, repair, interest and expenses Of
general management are taken into &C.
count. If the governmental authorities, in
fixing railroad rates, m not follow the
same principle they will be handicapped In
trying to protect the publlc's interests.
