FINDING THE SUCKER"

In the current issue of Farm and Preside contributor writes an en- tertaining informing article entitled The Inventor and the Patent Game" He tells the following story:
 T asked a patent lawyer of long experience and unusual candor what he thought about patents in general and he told me this story:
 One time d man with an inVen- ton brought it to me to get it patented I loked it up and advised him not to do it. It would cost him S60 to start his proceeding. and nobody could say how much to finish it: and the device would be worth nothing anyhow. He was inn movable At length l took his money and got the patent pushed up to the point of actual issue; then I begged But he insisted, paid the fee and took it.
 He was seedy, hard up and out at the elbows felt criminal, but forgot it. Three years afterward I was in his town, and he came down to see me- driving to my hotel in q huge auto. He looked ready money all over.
 "You're the man that started me OF the road to fortune" he said. T came to thank you"
 "T gasped and asked him to ex- plain
 ..s"wen," he said. you recollect that patent you got for me"
 "'"Yes," I said T remember it very we'll"
 .''"And how you told me it was perfectly worthless?"
 .'''Wen," he went on, you you convinced me that it was worthless; but you didn't convince me that l didn't want it. I took it out, sold 1t to a man in Illinois for $3,000, and with the money bought drug store The drug store prospered, and now Pm worth half a million dollars. My friend you made my fortune, and I'm here to thank you for what you've done for me" ..Nhat became of the fellow who maid you the $3.OO0 for the patent?' finally managed to ask. "."Oh." he replied. 'he was the smoker. You thought I was, but you were wrong.
 ...Now,' continued the patent eX- nert that story represents the com monest and most effective way of making money out of patents. u may be Knocking my own game but it's the truth

group would be contiguous to the city and county building.
 The viewpoint of the country tax payer was interestingly presented by MT. Barkley of Buckeye who said that he believed farmers would gen. orally favor such civic center as the report contemplated, at least a civic center that would include all of the buildings where public busi- , ness is transacted. The farmer when he comes to town, usually has business at all these places and de- sires to reach them as conveniently and quickly as possible. Moreover. he said that farmers would feel a pride in such group as was pro- posed.
 In the course of the discussion the suggestion was made that a cheaper site could be secured conti- guous to the federal building group and MT. Pratt advised the investiga- ton of such a site. in which sugges- ton he was seconded by Attorney General Bullard
 { So frequently has the sale of the county and city pIazas entered into the discussion that Walter Bennett again called attention to the fact
 
 gestion regarding that matter. He said that since his residence in Phoe- nix the matter of selling the Central school property has been agitated and one thing had been made plain. That was that the people would nev- CT sell it and would never consent to any but a public use of it. He urged the taxpayers to look at the matter squarely and unselfishly and to bear in mind that though it would always increase in value as it has in the past it would always remain in the possession of the people. One gentleman suggested the election of site from the three. as a location for city and county building
 c. D. Doris was for a civic center not necessarily involving the pur- chase of the Central school property but if not by the purchase of block adjoining the federal building group.
 pr. Dameron of the school board who had arrived late said that the transfer of the Central school prop erty as was proposed in the report would not change ownership of the property. It would bring badly need ed money to the school district. which if not procured in this way would have to he raised by another bond issue. It was certain that the property would never be sold to pri- vate parties and it was almost equal ly certain that it would never be leased. As the revenue from leasing. he pointed out that that would not meet the growing needs of the dis trict for new school houses. that need amounting to about fifteen rooms annually at the present rate of growth.
 MT. Wilkinson fthen offered mo- ton requesting the submission of the question of the sale of the property to the county and city for $250, ,OOO, to a vote of the electors of the school district. It was proposed to

for school property. We must put it to some other use and what use can be better than that of a civic cen ter?" Regarding suggestions that had been made for the building of city and county buildings at other cheap CT sites MT Bennett said that he would oppose such sites as so distant as to be incOnvenient.
 Dr. Craig strongly advocated the leasing of the school property and stated that he was ready to enter into an agreement to take the corner at Center and Monroe at a rate which for the entire block would amount to $1S.000 annually. He was not opposed to a joint city and coun- ty building but not on such expen- siVe ground.
 C H. Pratt supporting the idea of a civic center said that since gentle men had So strongly favored the leasing of the school property and saw such alluring profits in the leas- ing system, and he asked why it would not be well to lease also the city hall and court house plazas. He regarded both the public buildings as eyesores and was inclined to favor the report of the committee.
 During a lull in the discussion, Chairman Heard urged the freest eX- pression both for and against the re- port and further urged those opposed to the suggested plan to offer sotae- thing constructive.
 Gus Noll suggested the submission of two propositions to the voters. He himself was in favor of a civic cen ter. but farther out, where it would ir bn OTTO h Cf the business district
 Joseph Thalheimer opposed the idea of a civic center at this late stage of the city's career and he intimated that he did not favor the removal of either the city or county building.
 H. B. Wilkinson who favored the report said that whatever might re suit from the discussion, the city and county now finf themselves in happy situation of owning ground for such building as they might find advisable to construct. As to the civic center idea it was growing and spreading over the country. It was a problem that Phoenix would sometime want to solve and he believed that the time to solve it had come and that the report furnished the solution.
 It is now, said MT. Wilkinson. only matter or getting together AS to the cost involved in the establish ment of a civic center, it was a small price that such wealthy com munity was asked to pay for such an improv emerlt. If we miss this opportunity, said he, it may not soon come again and when it does come the cost will be greater. The argu- ment of those who had indicated willingness to sell the plazas and not the Central school property was falIaciOus. All were alike. the pro- perty of the people and all would alike increase in value. If the idea of the civic center were carried out they would not leave the possession of the people.
 Concerning the suggestion that a civic center ought to be established far out where ground would be cheaper, Dave Golberg said he would oppose that on the ground that it would result in a depreciation of the values of the city and county plazas.
