Ranchers on the land will be per-

Byrne said there was nothing def

ROAD DEVELOPMENT

Plomasen Points Out Depart

North Dakota will face a crisis in its
roads development program next year,
unless the state legislature provides
law changes giving the highway de-
partment right to motor vehicle
license monies once more, +. G. Plom-
asen, state highway commissioner.

The state must match federal aid

after July !, Plomasen said, under
terms Of national enactment. Di-
rect and complete federal ALLEGATIONS
Of money such as obtained under the
present system will halt with the end
OF this fiscal year. he explained.
If we want any highways next year,
the legislature will have to give lis
back the state motor vehicle tax
money" Plomasen said. instead OF
allowing it to be diverted to the state
bond fund.-"
The only other alternative, Plom-
asen said. would be special appro-
priation by the legislature. giving the
highway department sufficient mon
les with which to carry on construc-
ton work.
Funds received from other revenues
are too small to be effective in con-
struction work, Plomasen said.
Approximately $4,000000 will be
earmarked for North Dakota during
the next biennial period, H. j. Taylor,
head Of the U. S. bureau Of roads here,
said.
Taylor said there was possibility
congress may pass new legislation,

to 1872 was seventy-three. and fos
the first decade %.
The first patent was granted to
Samuel Hopkins Of Vermont on Z
process Of making pot and pearl
ashes. It was signed by George
Washington, president, Thomas JET
ferson, secretary Of state, and Ed
rlund Randolph, attorney general.
The first successful application from
e woman was recorded in 1909 by
Mary Kies, who invented q method
Of weaving straw with silk or thread.
Although man was granted the
first patent this does rot make him
the first American inventor. for the
records state that the process was
found out by sybille his wife"
It would be impossible to name the
greatest or the most useful inven-
tions, for In the last analysis such
q pronouncement might rest upon
individual opinion. However, patent
examiners were prevailed upon to
name 10 Of the most outstanding re-
cent inventions. They selected the
electric furnace, steam turbine, in
ternal combustion motor, moving pic
lures, airplanes, wireless, vacuum
tube, induction motor. linotype, and
electric welding.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 15.-Ths
new home Of the patent office Is II
the north wing Of the great depart
ment of commerce building. Aftel
nearly century and q half thu
priceless records are safe from fire
and the highly trained personnel ha.
quarters designed for Its needs. The
headquarters OF this truly American
system OF patent law is now magnifi-
cent and adequate.
The mainstays Of this govern
mental department which issues pat
ents and registers trademarks ore
the public search room, scientific
library. and the force Of examiners.
Each is essential to the other and to
the structure Of wealth and eff
cheney which they support through
the patent system. It Is impossible
t, imagine the America, OF today, and
ir turn the world. without the tools
given the agriculturist and the In
dustrialist through the protection and
stimulation Of the American method
Of granting patents.
The records Of all patents which
have been issued in this country
and they approximate two million
are in the search room which is
easily accessible on the first floor.
They are classified In some $4,000
classes and subclasses and anyone
may search them to determine
whether 1t Is worth while to apply
for q patent. Amateur inventors
often are astounded to discover how
many others have had ideas similar
to theirs-and how long before.
Although anyone may search the
records, usually trained persons are
for this specialized work.
The library contains copies Of
about three million patents issued
In foreign countries and q valuable
collection Of scientific books and pub
locations. Models Of inventions are
no longer required, except In rare
cases, and the work Of the examiners
depends upon these storehouses Of
information on science and iuven-
ton.
It Is the duty Of the examiners to
ascertain whether q patent ought to
be issued, and 1t Is this policy that
made the American patent system
unique until other nations followed
suit. They determine the questions
G: novelty, operativeness, usefulness,
ard whether the applicant has made
an invention, as the bases Of their
decisions. Patent examiners are
trained both In law and In science
and are divided into sixty-five divi-
sions which run the gamut Of inven-
ton from bread, pastry, and confec-
tior making to power plants. They
must know heating engineering, pho
Biography, aeronautics, chemistry,
metallurgy-in fact, every branch Of
scienke that has been put to mans
use. Among the subjects investigated
are cutting and punching, pulling and
pushing, internal combustion en-
gines, agitating, textiles, undertaking.
earth boring, jewelry, winding and
Keeling, radiant energy. horology,
music, fishing and trapping and 30
ad infinitum.
More than 400 employees are
housed in the Patent Office. 400
work In the government printing
office, and 100 more In photolithog-
raphy plants.

 heretofore have been regarded as | preferred claims with tho result that no depositor ia entitled 10 col. feet cent of the banks assets un-
 tii the state has been paid in full Robert l.. Bracken, Polo, acting
 as attorney for Barrett, who is re- | celver for all closed state banks,
 in arguments before the high court,
 holds that tho state is not entitled to preference in that there Is a | stnte banking code which does not
 specify state deposits aS preferred claims.
 The action of the state auditor in challenging the right of the state to collect deposits in full from assets of defunct banks is in the nature of q friendly suit to de- termine whether bondsmen for the state treasurer should be compelled
 to pay for state losses, or whether tho state rally has a right to make
 q preferred claim.
 Should tho court hold that state deposits are not preferred claims, it would mean the releasing of many millions Of dollars to bc di- vided equally among all dcpositors,
 including the state. Such deci-
 sion also would probably affect de- posits of other political units which heretofore have been recognized by most receivers and the courts
 as having preferred claims to pub lie deposits.
