by any means. With the honors and
power and salary go heavy RESPONSE
bilities, and arduous work.
Mr.. Burtons public service will be
remembered principally in connec-
ton with his work on the rivers and
harbors committee of the house, of
which committee he was for 13 years
member and for ten years the chair
man. Under his regime river and
harbor legislation was further d.
vorced from pork barrel" methods
than under any other. He studied
every project which congress was
called upon to consider. and because
of his thorough knowledge of his sub
ject and because his colleagues had
every confidence In his fairness and
justice he had little difficulty in get
ting his appropriation bills through
the house.
Mr.)Burton is more than sixty-two
years old, but Is well preserved. He
is much sought after socially in Wash
ington. When he gets out of congress
he expects to travel for a time be-
fore settling down at his home in
Cleveland. Travel has been his great
est diversion for years. and he has
made many trips abroad. where he
has studied river and harbor improve
ments and water transportation.
Being a lawyer by profession, it is
presumed he will devote his attention
to his practise.

ness which has been delayed through
no fault of the men in the patent Of

themselves, has resulted In greatly in.
creased receipts by the Office In the
belief of Commissioner Ewing It may
become possible, with proper admins
tration, to limit the time during which
an application for patent may be kept
pending in the office to less than five
years, and perhaps to less than three
years. The commissioner of patents
hopes that the announcement that the
patent Office officers dislike the dila-
tory tactics of the applicants In de-
laying the issue of patents will be
sufficient to insure the speeding up
of the work and the cutting down of
the list of delayed applications. II
commissioner will consider the pro-
priety and wisdom of having old appli-
cations published. thing which has
not been done in the past. There is
no law against this, although the rules
and custom of the office have been to
preserve applications in secrecy. II
these means, which the office has
adopted to encourage lawyers to trans
act their business promptly. are not
effective 1t is likely that Commission
er Ewing will recommend corrective

ANTEDATEs THE GOVERNMENT

1t is 1873 years since Benjamin
Franklin became the first postmaster
general in America az representative
of the colonists, and the postal serv
ice of the United States antedates the
government by just one year. The
first declaration of independence ever
made by the colonists was in the
establishment of postal service OF
their own to evade the Crown post
masters. who spied upon the mails
This service aided In bringing the col
onists together and raising the voice
of public opinion. Though Ben!an

The Colorado statesman., 1914-05-23

There is an interesting story back
of the figures which show Uncle Sans
increased activities in issuing patents.
When Commissioner Thomas Ewing
came into office about a year ago he
felt that long-delayed applications for
patents and the operation of a time
consuming system of amending pat
ents were the principal abuses of the
American patent system. Many old
cases had been delayed by the appli-
cants for the patents for long time,
in some cases as long as fifteen years.
One reason for delaying applica-
tions is that on a certain class of
patents inventors believe there will
be greater demand for the article
In future years than there is at the
present time. For this reason every
thing possible is done to protect their
idea after the application has been
once filed and to delay the date of
final issue of the patent as long as
possible. The law allows one year in
which to make answer to various let
ters. Commissioner Ewing found that
there was a scientific system of de-
laying applications by certain patent
attorneys using the limit of time al
lowed to make answer to letters writ.
ten about the patents for which they
had applied.
The number OF applications for pat
ents delayed more than FIVE years is
less than 5000. AS there are 125,0O0
applications in the patent office, 1t can
be seen that about four per cent of
the applications have been slowing up
the work of the office. The fact that
SO per cent of the applications went
through the Office in less than five
years and that the average applica-
ton went through in less than two
years convinced Commissioner Ewing
that most of the delays were due to
time-consuming tactics of the appli-
cants. or the 81 applications which
he found in the office January 1 which
were older than 10 years, he has al
ready reduced the number by 1S. or
nearly 20 per cent.
Commissioner Ewing has not been
slow to let those patent attorneys
know that he does not like this dila-
tory and time-consuming system OF
delaying applications for patents. His
expression of disapprovai has had the
effect of speeding up dilatory appli-
cants who have tried to hold back

hold UP THE CORONER'S
S67 AUTOMOBILE BILLS

When bills from the coroner's office
to the amount of S67 for automobile
hire from May Is, were presented to
the Levy Court yesterday afternoon by
Commissioner Bnrris, the latter declared
that the bills have become so large that
they have got his goat" After some
discussion the members decided 90 call
halt on what they termed "extrava-
gance."
u was explained that the bills We're
to pay for the transportation by auto
mobile Of eoroner's juries. and while the
law calls for the payment Of Transports
tion for the iuries and witnesses in cases
that are investigated by the coroner
yet the members Of the Levy Court be-
heve that in many instances other
means OF transportation could have
been utilized which would have been
much cheaper
Smith believed there should be some
limit placed on the allowance for this
purpose. and he then offered a resolution
referring the matter to the Levy Court
attorney for a decision. This brought
up considerable opposition, especially
from Commissioner Groves. who sait
that he did not think the matter should
be passed on to the attorney, stating
that it was the duty Of the coroner's
committee to settle the matter Mr.
Groves said they should not shirk their
duty. He further offered q resolution
, in lieu of the one presented by Mr.
Smith calling on the committee TO settle
the matter and referring the payment
OF the bills TO them. Commissioner
Foreacre then stated that according tc
his Interpretation Of the law. the bills
must be paid, and moved that payment
on them be deferred for one week, the
matter to be placed in the hands Of the
committee to meet with the attorney OF
the court and see what could be done
in the matter Mr. Scott asked ii the
bills were not just ones, to which Mr.
Burris replied that they were without a
doubt. Mr.. Scott then asked why not
pass the bills and then take up the mat
ter later, to which Mr.. Foreacre replied
that as long as the bills would be pass
ed, just so long would they continue
to come in, as they have in the past.
Mr.. Scott stated that he knew the
names of the members of the coroner's
jury by heart, having seen their names
50 many times as serving on the inry.
Several Of the others members said they
know there was one Jury and that they
did not know but what it was profes-
sional jury, having seen their names
SO often. The matter was finally closed
by Withholding payment on the bills for
one week while the committee will con
fer with the court attorney in regard to
the matter.

Harry Taylor, proprietor Of the

permission TO shoot. While doing so
