This man is James T. Newton. until
recently commissioner OF patents,
who has just taken a high executive
position with Marks & Clark, an in
ternational patent firm. at a salary
which perhaps would exceed in one
year the amount his Federal post
would have paid HIM in ten.
But salary, while consideration,
perhaps In secondary to the apprecia-

IL he possesses tho required ability.
At least, such seems to be the opin-
ion OF the scores OF technical and sd-
ninistrative employees who have left

SUGGESTIONS IGNORED.
Newton, as commissioner OF pat
ents. always maintained and still
holds that the Patent Office IL among
the most important In the Govern

fully made repeated attempts to I'M
press this fact upon Congress. In
stead OF receiving the required moral
and financial assistance. appropria-
tons for the Patent office were still
further slsshed, until today the office
force Is completely demoralized.
When America entered the war
Newton gave evidences OF the import
ance of his bureau which Heretofore
were not generally appreciated by the
lay mind. He prevailed upon the army
and naval officials to come into the
Patent Office and make use OF it's IN
valuable records. After some doubt,
these officers learned the files OF the
Patent Officc held secrets which, II
Immediately used, would go long
