|P.ATENT COLLECTING
SYSTEM ENLARGED
Filing and Final Fees Increased BY
Economy Act, Levies Being
Effective July 81.

The United States Patent Office to-
day was readjusting its collection
system to collect additional fees i'm
posed upon inventors by the economy
bill. These levies become effective
July 81.
The act increases the fee for filing
an application for patent from S25 to
$50 and the final fee. which must be
paid before the patent is granted, has
been increased a like amount.
Patent Commissioner Thomas E.
Robertson estimated that the new fees
will net the Government approximately
100000 during the coming year
Mr.. Robertson said his bureau
granted more patents during the fiscal
year just closed than in any previous
year in its history The total was
52,572, an increase of 8.255 or 1876 per
cent over the total for the previous
year.
The commissioner pointed out that
a patent is not granted until the final
fee is paid, and during the past fiscal
year $4,000 patents were allowed but
not granted on which this fee was not
paid. This compared with 9,945 in the
previous fiscal year. and $500 in the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1880.

Ex-JUSTICE HOLMES TO LOSE
$4,000 UNDER ECONOMY ACT
His Retirement Pay Cut to
Half by Interpretation
of Law.
Federal Judges Remaining in
Service Cannot Suffer
Salary Slash.

BY the Associated Press.
After spending q lifetime interpreting
and applying the laws, that master OF
them, Oliver Wendell Holmes, finds
legal technicalities will cost him $40 900
this fiscal year.
Justice Holmes Is the hardest hit
among the comparatively few former
Federal judges affected by the economy
measure which reduced the pay Of
Government employees.
He resigned only few month ago, on
the eve OF his 9lst birthday, after al
most 80 years on the Supreme Court
bench. Then he was eligible to draw
$4,000 a year for the remainder OF his
life, only to have that cut to half by
the economy bill.
AS interpreted. it provides that no
Federal Judge who had resigned could
draw mere than $4,000 year in retire
ment pay. The law did not AFFECT the
salary of Federal judges in active ser
vice, since the Constitution prohibits 1t.
There are. however, 10 or IL former
Federal judges no longer on the bench
whose retirement pay was untouched
by the economy measure.
Some Federal judges eligible to quit
with pay retire" This means they
can be called back into service if needed,
although the calls are few and far be-
tween.
The Interpretation Of the economy
bill is that this group of judges still
theoretically hold Office and that Uncle
Sam can take no money from them.
Other judges, like Holmes, resign" ="
and may not be called back into service.
