PATENT OFFICE IS STILL
 WAY BEHIND IN ITS WORK
Additional Clerks and More Salaries Does Not Enable Workers
 to Keep Up

Washington, Una. 29.-Despite the marked increase of salaries and the additional twenty-nine examiners and twenty-two clerks granted last spring, the Patent Office is no more advanced in it's work than it was a year ago. This is shown by the fact that the number of pending applications await ing action which on Jan. 3, 1922 was 60,244 has now increased to 71,173 (Dec. 29, 1922).
 It has been expected that the in crease in salaries would have the ef- feet of checking the large number of resignations of the examiners to &C.,, cept more lucrative positions else where. This has not proven to be the case, however, and the Patent Office is still having difficulty in getting and retaining first-class examiners. It was recently stated at the Commissioners office that within 49 working days, 22 submitted resignations.
 The seriousness of the situation is shown in the fact that even before that exodus began. there were seven- teen vacancis on the staff. Since it re- quires two men during their first year of service to do the work of one experienced examiner, it will be ap- parent that this deficiency of thirty nine indicates a need of seventy or eighty new men in order to put the staff on suitable working basis.
 It may be argued that this problem and it's solution is wholly for govern ment considerations; but there are re- responsibilities outside the Patent Of fee that cannot be lodged. There has been altogether too great raid on the Patent Office staff during the past few years. Recognizing its own re- sponsibility in this matter. the Amer ican Patent Law Association has just taken step that should be of ma terial help. The managing board of | that body has written vigorous let ter to it's members urging that for at | least two years they refrain from hir- | ing members of the Patent Office staff. | Thus the association hopes to create a two-year closed season. during | which the Patent Office can recruit it's | personnel and bring it's work more | nearly up to date.

REP, P,TILSON BACKS
 UP THE SWEET BILL
Wants Changes in War Risk
 Insurance Measure
BY GEORGE IT. MANNING

fWashington Bureau of New Britain Herald).
 Washington, D. C., Jan. 29.-Tes- tifying before the house interstate ana foreign commerce committee, Repre- sentative John Q. Tilson of Connecu- cut put up strong case for the Sweet bill, in which are incorporated two hills introduced recently by Repre- sentative Tilson amending certain sec- tjons of the War Risk Act to pre- vent men in the naval service being improperly deprived of compensation under the act.
 Representative Tilson cited two cases which had come to his atten- ton as showing the necessity for modifying the present terms of the act. In one of these, a man who had been given a bad conduct discharge by summary court Gone man) from the navy, contracted tuberculosis. Under the terms of the War Risk act, he was disqualified from receiving any compensation, on account of this dis charge. His offense was overstaying shore leave.
 The second case was that of sailor who had been given an undesirable OlSCudTEts NliCu Cdil pt uOuC even the formality of any kind of trial. He also was excluded from the benefits of the insurance act when he contracted tuberculosis.
 Under the modification proposed. men could only be disqualified from compensation on account of discharge by a general court-martial. This would place the navy on an equal footing with the army, in which there are possible only two forms of discharge honorable and dishonorable. the lat | ter being inflicted by a general court martial.
 It is expected that the Sweet bill. | which makes several other changes in | existing legislation for the benefit of | war veterans. will be reported out favorably by the committee within a

MAYOR DEVER DEFINES
THE ISSUE
(From the Chicago Evening Post,
Sept. 1o)

(From the Chicago Evening Post,
Sept. 19)
"The time has come for show
down between the law-breaking and
law-enforcing forces in Chicago"
The sentence is taken from an ad-
dress by Mayor Dever before the Ro-
tary club yesterday - an address
which lifted the industry responsible
for three murders in ten days out of a
swamp of sentiment regarding light
wines and beer and placed it on the
hard ground of deliberate lawbreaking
where it belongs.
For it has become lawbreaking of a
character which cannot be winked al
even by those opponents of the Vol.
stead act who pride themselves on
obedience to the laws of their own
choosing and number a bootiegger
among their commercial acquain-
tances. Thuggery-cold-blooded kill
ing-cannot be condoned, even by
those who like an occasional glass oi
pre-Volstead strength.
We've got to lay aside all political
differences" to quote the mayor again,
"all discussions as to wet and dry, and
put an end to this crime that Is going
ON in the CITY,"
The mayor needs every ounce OF
cooperation which the decent citizen
ry can give him in achieving the
sought-for goal. He and the agen-
cies which, he seeks to coordinate face
stiff opposition from both financial
and political sources,

have grown rich In the near, etheriEed,

THAT ALDERMANIC REVOLT
(From the Chicago Evening Post,
Sept. 2S)

cSPA' -Ot
The long list OF licenses which have
been taken from hitherto immune ex-
saloons shows that Mayor Dever's
drive against the industry which pre-
cipitated three recent murders is very
much in earnest. As result some OF
the Democratic aldermen feel very
much abused, to put it mildly.
Every ounce of influence which these
city fathers with high ideals have been
able to bring on behalf of their law
breaking friends has only resulted in
added proof that the mayor was not
joking when he said "any license re-
voked is going to stay revoked" As
a result. the indignant ones are talking
of curtailing his power of license revo-
cation if they can muster enough
strength to pass the amendment.
The threat is of value chiefly for
two results which it has already
achieved. The first is that it proves
once more crooked beer running can
only exist with the connivance of
equally crooked politicians. The sec
ond reaction shows the nonpartisan
character of the support which Mayor
Dever has already won in his fight for
decent and efficient government of
Chicago.

and real beer industry. They are not
going to yield their profits willingly
because OF few unfortunately fatal
clashes between rival gangs. Rather
they will bend every effort to circum-
vent any remedial measures which
may be instituted.
There is also a political angle to the
beer. running industry and two of the
points which determine its degree lie
reputedly within the local Republican
and Democratic parties. Mayor Dever
knows politics, knows it from the city
council up. He doubtless realizes that
his call for cooperation in ending this
species of crime will meet only with
lip service from many agencies which
ought to back him to the limit. Pos
sib1y it was this knowledge which led
him in the same Rotary club speech to
say:
THE poison that Is in the system
itself has been getting into oficialdom
in way that is very discouraging to
say the least
The mayor has sounded tho rallying
cry for the contest. In way that does
him the greater credit when It Is re-
membered that the wet faction In his
own party is supposed to be dominant.
He Is. as he said, mot seeking to shift
the responsibility" to the federal arm
of the government, but rather to gath
er such weapons and such co-opera-
ton as will enable him to cope with
the issue successfully.

quote again the Rotary club speech,

NO LICENSES FOR LAW
BREAKERS
(From the Chicago Daily News,
Oct. y

(From the Chicago Daily News,
Oct. y
Judge James S. Baldwin of Decatur,
sitting in the Circuit Court of Cook
county, has held in typical manda-
mus proceeding instituted by a pro-
prietor of drug store whose license
Mayor Dever had revoked that the IL
legal sale of liquor is sufficient war
rant in law for the with drawal of the
license.
This common-sense decision should
serve to check the rush of lawyers in
to the courts with mandamus petitions
on behalf of persistent violators of the
prohibition law who have lost the IL
censes which authorized them to do a
legitimate business
1t is settled legal doctrine that dis
cretion vested in court or an execu-
tive officer must be exercised reason
ably and judicially, not arbitrarily.
But, as Judge Baldwin pointed out, it
is not an arbitrary action when a
mayor revokes license where evil
dencc of wilful violation of law is pre-
sented against the person licensed. The
sufficiency OF the evidence is a ques-'
ton for the mayor, not for the court.
In mandamus case the legal right of
the petitioners to relief must be abso-
lutely clear; otherwise, the court is
bound to deny It.
Those who alleged that Mayor Dew
er has been arbitrarily revoking IL
censes know better. The community,
too, knows better. Patience, indeed,
had ceased to be virtue In booze
selling cases. Warnings had been re-
peatedly given and disregarded, Boot
ieggers and beer runners had assured
