Decision Breaks Grip Of
Monopoly, Says CouzenS

The Ford Co. was the only automo-
bile concern I'm Detroit against which
the patent suit was directed. The
case, which has been in progress
since 1903, has cost the Ford Co
much more than the royalties would
have amounted to, but the fight has
been waged because the existence OF
the Independents was at stake.
Nearly every company In the coun-
try paid the royalties demanded" said
James Couzens, OF the Ford Co., but
We decided to close our doors rather
than pay the sum demanded of us. We
have spent about $250,0O0 In litigation.
Had the Selden patent been sustained
II would have made a complete mon
opoly of the automobile business, as
the owners of the patent could have
licensed only the concerns they wish
ed to continue In business and this
would have controlled absolutely the
output"
When the A. L. A. M. first organ
lied 1t charged royalties OF 1-2 per
cent on the selling price or the ma
chimes" continued Mr.. Couzens.
Lately 1t was reduced to 1 per cent.
and lastly to .0S per cent. About 80
per cent, according to the A. l.. A. M,
OF all the automobile manufacturing
interests paid royalties for the pat
ent"
When informed that the A. l.. A. NJ,
was considering an appeal to the
United States supreme court, he said
that he was perfectly willing to con-
tinue the fight.
"But the appeal can only be taken
in a writ of cer.iorari, which means
that they can only get the case to the
supreme court IL the court will -;e
It," said Mr.. Couzens. 1T Is well
known that the supreme court is many
months behind with It's work, and that
In all probability the case would be
long delayed. The patent expires in
November, 1912, and 1t is quite certain
the court could not hear the case be-
fore than time. But we are willing
that the appeal be taken, for we have
perfect faith In the invalidity of the
patent"
In the event that the case was ap-
pealed to the supreme court, and that
court decided the patent was valid,
Mr.. Couzens said the Ford company
could be compelled to give an account
Ing of every car II sold and made to
pay the royalties In accordance. How
ever, he said that such action was en-
tirely with the court, and that in pat
ent cases II was only In few In
stances that accountings have been
given.

FOREST COUNTY CASES END
Prosecution of Graft Charges Brings
$4,000 Into Treasury and So
go More Viii Be Secured.

Crandon.-The graft" investiga-
tons and fight which has been rag
ing in Forest county for the last nine
months was practically closed at the
recent term Of Circuit court in which
thirty-seven criminal actions and
thirteen civil suits were disposed of.
OF the total number of criminal suits
all but three were disposed Of, those
affecting one man who secured a con-
tinuance. Some were convicted, 9TH
ers pleaded guilty and the rest COM
promised without coming to trial. OF
the civil suits, all were settled out Of
court.
1t Is probable that a few may be
appealed, but the prosecution has
brought over $1,000 into the treas
ury and 1t is expected that about
$1,000 more will be added to this
sum.
Attorney 4. G. Umbreit, Milwau-
kee, who has for the last nine
months been acting as district at
torney followi & the suspension and
disbarment of former District Attor-
ney John G. Mars, started the inves-
tigation into conditions on Jan. II,
1911. Since then both the sheriff
and the supervisor of assessments
have been removed from Office and
new men appointed TO their places.

NO ENLARGED CAPITOL
COMMISSION DECIDES NOT TO
MAKE CHANGE IN BUILDING
PLANS OF STATE HOUSE.
Structure, Which Viii Cost $1,000.
900, to Be Fully Completed
in Four More Years.

Madison.-The capitol building
commission will not change the
plans of the new statehouse SO as to
provide for a larger assembly cham
Der. The present chamber in the
west wing of the new capitol will
continue TO be used by the lower
house of the legislature and a small
er chamber Tor the senate will be
prepared in the south wing. which Is
now under construction.
The plans have been partly
changed so as to provide for larger
rooms for legislative committees
than those first adopted. The sem
ate at the last session of the legis-
lature reduced the number of its
standing committees from seventeen
to five, but increased the member
ship Of each committee, thus requir-
ing larger committee rooms but
fewer of them. To meet this change
the plans for committee rooms for
the senate were altered by the cap
itol commission. Two Of the four
wings of the new capitol have been
finished, another is about to be
rooted and the steel work for the
central or dome part has been fin
ished. 1t Is planned to complete the
wing now building and the dome
part before the next legislature
meets. leaving only one wing, the
north. to be built hereafter. 1t Is
estimated that it will take the entire
fourteen months intervening before
the next legislature meets to COM
plete the work now in hand. All of
the work on the new capitol has been
pushed faster this year than at any
time since 1t was begun about six
years ago. The new capitol will
probably be finished within four
years and will cost about 100000.

,s40,235 IN STATE
TAXES IS RENTED
FUNDS IN TREASURY SUFFiCI-
EMIT TO HELP BEAR COST
OF GOVERNMENT.
LEVY is $4,000 BELOW 1911
Governor Discovers There Is Money
Enough on Hand to Neary Meet
Appropriations Made at the Last
Legislative Session.

Madison.-A remission of $780,
235 from the tax levy as recently
made was ordered by the state board
of assessment which consists of Gov.
McGovern, Secretary of State Frear
and State Treasurer Dahl.
This means that instead of a total
levy of $5.557.255.95 the actual to-
tai levy will be but $4,617,020
that instead of an increase of $751;
996.42 over the total levied In 1910
for the tax OF 1911, the increase is
only $21,761.42. 1t means more
than this, for the amount RENTED
exceeds the amount OF all the in
creases of special appropriations
made by the legislature of 1911 by
$6,973, and were 1t not for the In
crease of the amount levied for spe-
cial charges against the counties the
total of the levy would be consider
ably less than the of a year ago.
The remission is made possible by
the large income the state has re-
ceived from the inheritance tax and
other sources of indirect taxation.
The present remission is of the
special appropriation for the new
capitol. s450,000, and the appropri-
alton for the normal schools, $780,
235, making total of $940.235.
The condition that made this re-
mission Of tax possible. almost neces-
sary In fact, was that there appeared
In the treasury an extraordinary
balance on Oct. 81, 1911, of $780,
1888, sum in excess of that in
the same fund on the same date q
year ago by $1.231.73S.33 and ST.
