Ohio Prohibition Commissioner
Airs Views Before. Anti

by International News Service.

Increased Federal appropriations
and personnel for prohibition enforce
ment was urged today by Judge Don
v. Parker. prohibition commissioners
for Ohio, in an address before the con.
vention of the Anti-Saloon League.
I'VE must organize our citizens into
law enforcement leagues in every
county to ferret out the bootlegger,
the lax and crooked officials and to
help secure higher fines against of.
lenders" Parker said.
Organize these bodies and see that
you get honest and determined Of
ficials, and that your States create
State prohibition enforcement depart
ments. Organization Of such bodies
will be the greatest factor in secur.
ing proper results. for when officials
find that organized bodies of their
citizens are ready to pat them on the
back for doing their duty. and stand
just as ready to kick them out of Of
flee when they don't do 1t. we are 60
ing to have law enforcement"
Parker declared that there are still
TOO many public officials charged with
the duty Of prohibition law enforce
ment who let their personal opinions
interfere with the proper discharge
Of their. duty"
In discussing prohibition enforce
ment in Ohio, Parker said:
To-day we do not claim that Ohio
is like the desert of Sahara, but II
any one were to tell you that drinks
are still sold openly In our State.
just tell him you'll pay for the drink
IL he'll find 1t, and the argument will

PATENT OFFICE
IN HARD STRAITS,
DECLARES CHIEF
Low Salaries and inexperienced
Help congests De-
partment.

The Patent Office Is in a deplor-
able condition, and unless remedial
measures are applied the present con-
dition Will become intolerable. This
IL the statement made In the annual
report of the Commissioner of Pen
sions made public today.
Some of the divisions are eleven
months behind in their work, the
Commissioners says. He continues:
During the time the Patent Office
has been losing 1853 Of it's best men
the number Of applications received in
this office has increased. The num-
Der Of applications for patents has In.
creased "a per cent during the period
under discussion, while the trade
mark applications increased ssh per
cent.
There are now about $4,000 ap-
plications awaiting examination. A
number Of divisions are over eleven
months behind in their work. and to
Illustrate the large turnover in the
personnel, there Is cited one OF the
chemical divisions where five out of
the nine examiners have been ap-
pointed in the last few months. At
the close of the fiscal year one of
these had been In the office only one
week. another, three weeks. another,
seven weeks, and another two months.
There are many industries which
can not enter into development work
on account of the doubtful status of
their applications for patents.
Reference is made to the entrance
salaries OF the assistant examiners.
who are highly educated and picked
corps of scientific men. who receive
the same initial salary as clerks who
perform routine duties in other
branches Of the Government service.
Note Is made Of the inadequacy of the
salaries paid to these technical men
as compared to their qualifications
and the requirements of their posi-.
tons, showing the necessity of cor.
recting the disparity of conditions.
Undoubtedly unless proper remedial
measures are applied, the present de-
plorable condition will become intoler.
