GOVERNMENT
 FILES BRIEF
Case Goes to Supreme Court From the United States Circuit Court of
 Appeals
I.ISSociatcd Press DiSbdtch |

WASHINGTON. March r.. - The fight to split the merger of the Union Pacific and southern Pacific systems. was opened today in the supreme court. Wickersham and his special assistants. F. B. Kellogg and C. A. SeV erance, filed comprehensive brief and their argument is to be made orally shortly after April l. In ad- dition to the brief of arguments second brief of six hundred pages was required to set forth the facts in the case" The court was told in the secCnd brief the railway combination sought to be dissolved, originated with F. II Hartman. Jacob II. Schiff. and associates. It brought under con- mon control. the government stated. the Union Pacific. Southern Pacific. Salt Lake. with various steamship lines in addition. and secured an in fluential voice in the management of the Santa Fe.
 The government censured severely tl.c circuit court of appeals for the Ninth district. which dismissed the petition for the dissolution of the merger Judge Hook alone dissented. The brief asserted the government cannot understand how the lower court became impressed that the gov errment did not aver the Union Pa cific was a competitor of the South ern Pacific for any business origi- mating nearer than a thousand miles or more away from its lines.
 This statement is contrary 10 the
 
 says the brief. and is contrary to the evidence Of scores of witnesses"
 The decision is attacked because the Union Pacific could not be competitor of the Southern Pacific by reason of the fact it's traffic is moved to California points over the Southern Pacific from ogden.
 .Is it possible asks the brief. that the Union Pacific. with it's thousands of miles of railway and steamship lines. reaching from the Missouri river to Portland and San Francisco. has no appreciable effect on commerce in its competition with another complete system reaching the same general territory?'
 The government asserted the trial court was wrong in holding :he two railroads could not be competitors un less competitive business could be handled by them wholly over their owr rails. Instead of there being no impairment of the service. the gov ernment asserted the merger resulted in a gross increase in rates. proven ton of construction of new lines into competitive territory. and a 'sensi- ble deterioration" of the service The gcv cvernment attorneys centended the rule of reason" applied by the court iH the Standard oil and Tobacco cases can not be applied in passing On this merger

With the near approach of the time when the members of the Salt River Valley Water Users association will face an election of officers of that or ganization. there is a general stir among all in any way connected with the association, particularly because of the unusual turn affairs have re- ccntlv taken with relation tO the man ner of payment for the entire recla- nation project under which the valley comes as well as the increasing be- lief that it is no more than just that q detailed statement of the actual cost of the project to date be submitted to the members before demand is made for payment.

 Briefly. his platform includes two points:
 F'irst-Distribution of water: (aD A checking system for the distribu- ton of water; (b) water must be de- livered to the corner of every mans land by the zanjero.
 Second-Before payments begin: (a) The total acreage and the partic rlJar acreage to be watered from the reservoir must be ascertained; tb) the total cost of the project must be as- certained co the total acreage above mentioned must be receiving water.
 Senator Wood is n candidate of the recently organized Land Ownsrs' Pro- tective association. and will very like ly have the solid support of that or ganiZation The association is in sympathy with his declaration of prin- ciples as contained in his letter recent ly published in The Repubncaletaoin ly published in The Republican. Mir. Wood Is pledged. whether elected or not. to work in every way possible to carry out his platform. The election will be held in the ten districts GOV cred by the association on Tuesday, April ?.

WASHINGTON. March I2-Bills to c.rG the monopolizing power of pat eniees over unpatented articles used in operating patented machines be- gan to show life today in congress. This is in response to the appeal of Chief Justice White. of the supreme court, for congress to change the law which the court found yesterday gave pItentees practically unlimited priv ileges regarding the manner in which their patents should be used. F. E. Moore. commissioner of patents. pre- pared a bill to amend the law so that patentees may not impose Onerous conditions upon purchasers of their patent articles. Senator Gore may e-introduce the bill he presented to congress last year regulating the sale Of patents Representative LittletOn. of New York. after conferring with the commissioner of patents. an nounced he would introduce bill to meet the decision.
 Senator Brown. chairman Of the senate committee on patents. and members of the house committee on PatentS. have expressed themselves since the courts decision as willing tO act promptly. Any amendment to the patent laws agreed on will con- tSir in some form blow at the mpardtively recent plan of public trading license restriction on the use of patented articles sold by patentees. The proposed amendments would en- deaVor to bring within the law the vast area spoken of by the chief justice between restrictions placed on rights by the patent laws and the laws of the land" There are now pending before the judiciary commit tee several bills intended to reach the same results. inspired by the gov ernment's suit against the United Shoe Machinery company. According to Representative Norris. of Nebraska. they were side tracked in that com mittee because of a question of jur- isdictiOn. President Taft. when d circuit judge. it was learned today. cCHcurred in an opinion substantially the same as the supreme courts and also rendered by Judge Lurton. then judge of the Sixth circuit with Judges Taft and Harmon concurring The Op:niOn involved the right of a pat cHtee of d machine for fastening but tons on shoes with metallic fasteners to sell such machines subject to the condition they be used only with fasteners manufactured by the sellers. The purchaser of the machine. ac- cording to the opinion. would be in effect a mere license and the use of it by him contrary to this condition would be not only a breach of con- tract, but a violation of the patent monopoly.
