TO DEFEND KANSAS CITES
Attorney General Dawson says Munl-

Over Concrete Bridges

Topeka--An appropriation by the
1913 legislature to defend Kansas m1-
inequalities in suits over patents held,
or claimed to be held. by Daniel Luz
ten OF Indianapolis. VIII be asked OF
the next legislature BY Attorney Gen
eral Dawson. a recommendation 10
that effect is included in the biennial
report of the attorney general, Just
finished.
: The state is now a party in the fed

Luten against the city OF Newton and
W s Gearhart. state highway engi-
neer. Luten charges Gearhart and
the city with infringing eight different
patents held by him IN the construe-
ton Of a concrete bridge.
after the completion of this bridge
action was brought" says Dawson in
his report, and il develops that the
complainant claims TO have about
thirty-eight different patents which re
late to the construction Of concrete
bridges, and cover 500 10 900 different
Specifications It is claimed that con-
crete bridges cannot be constructed
economically without making use OF
his patented methods consider it
very important that this case be de-
Tended.
--On every structure where Luten's
patents are used 10 any extent. Luten
/ the right to exact a royalty amount
ing to 10 per cent Of the purchase
price OF the structure, which, in the
case Of the Newton bridge. would
amount to $4,000. II his patents are
valid, then the municipalities are la
| BILE to pay him 10 per cent royalty on
a large percent of the bridges con-
| structed and to be constructed by tie
counties, townships and cities Of Kan
sas.
The expense OF the necessary Hti-
CATION to defend a suit of this nature
| is very heavy. In my judgment the
attorney general should be authorized
to give such assistance as he or the
governor may deem best in defending
any municipality Of this state against
suits that may be brought for claimed
infringement of patents in highway
and bridge construction"
Other states, Dawson points out, are
making liberal appropriations for this
III purpose.

Believe Legislature Will

General Welfare This Winter
Than UsuaI-An Set for

TOpeka.-This years legislature
rOmises to be a legislature OF real
obstructive lawmaking. In former
essions there have always been a
eW members who wanted TO tear
down much progressive legislation
AS near as can be figured from the
members Of the House and Senate
who have been in Topeka, there is
only one Kansas law that seems TO
have any particularly active opposi-
ton This is the primary election law,
and all the old style politicians who
formerly ran conventions and were
really a power in politics are dead set
against it and may make an effort 10
have it repealed.
OF course, there viii be some laws
repealed, but this will be more in the
nature Of consolidation than actual
abolition Of the laws. The board of
irrigation probably will be abolished
and it's work done by the agricultural
college. The hotel commission and
the barber board will be knocked out
and the work given to the state board

there seems to be a feeling that the
coming session really will accomplish
more for the general welfare Of the
state and its citizens than any legisla
ture for many years. The Democrats
are in the minority in the House and
have a majority Of one in the Senate
But the Democrats have announced
they are willing to help the new ad
