of agriculture. The me tai ages caused great I'm
provement in tools and handi crafts. During the
past century half the rapid advance Of science
and technology has increased production enormously
AS consequence the population Of the world has
doubled treb1ed. The level Of living has also
risen greatly. This is reflected in tho manifold
increase in the per capita expenditure Of energy

The Patent System

All the greatest inventions Of our
country are protected by patents is
sued by the United States Govern
ment. For $50 years the Government
has stood back OF inventors and their
inventions. in order that the full
benefits of their contributions TO pro-
gress might go to the people OF the
United States. The patent system
began with the beginning OF the Gov
eminent. The steam engine, nail
machine. cast iron pillow and cotton
gin were all patented IN George Wash
ington's time. The reaper and now
ing machine, harvester, sewing ma
chine, rotary printing press, vulcan
ICED rubber and the safety pin came
during the next fifty years.
No one has ever offered serious OBJ
jections to giving monopolistic con-
troll to the inventors who have con
tributed so much to the national pro
gress during the century and half.
Nov, most strangely, patents fall un-
der suspicion. Electricity, commu-
nication, transportation, photogra-
ply, flying, radio and the most scien-
tifc improvements the World has
ever known are to be searched for
traces OF monopolies.
Senator McAdoo mas bill pending
in Congress for the establishment
OF what he calls a Court Of Patents
Appeals. This is supposed to be a.
BIN to protect small inventors who
now have to defend their claims for
patents through the usual courts IN
the usual way. The United States
Patent Office and 5000 lawyers com
prising the patent bar oppose the bill.

SATISFIED

BY t. A. HALL. Milford
While with our loved ones here we
dwell
In peace or war we cannot tell
But we do know some day We'll die
And say to one and all good bye.
So let's let love be stronger than hate.
And try to get along with our earthly
mate
For the sake of children and earthly
friends
Before our existance comes to an end.
In every home there's some OF strife
And will be as long as there is life
But when this life on earth shall end
Wen to a life Of peace ascend.
And then when the mist is cleared
away.
And we look back Ger life's little day
From heights sublime and far above
Wen then be satisfied with love. 49, 1t

Business And LaIOs

The only business that seems &c
profit by the passage of more laws il
/ the law business. That appears to
be the conclusion to which business
as a whole is arriving after several
experiments in trying to build bust
ness by law.
In the last seven years or so there
has been something of a fever on,
particularly among small town mer-
chants, to erect a sort of Legislative
wall around their towns, with the
idea of keeping all their trade for
themselves.
They have been especially hostile
toward the direst-selling or house
toulouse method of distribution by
some Of the most reputable manufac-
turers in America.
But now they are finding that what
they overlooked is that this legisla-
ton bears most heavily on their own
neighbors and fellow townspeople,
who engage in direct selling either as
a livelihood or to augment an other
wise inadequate income.
They have discovered that these
people in 9095 of the cases live where
they sell, pay taxes there, send their
children to school there, buy their
cars from local dealers, support local
community enterprises. AS a conse-
quence, ordinances of the Green
River" type are not being enforced.
but still, so long as they are on the
books, constitute a hazard to good,
decent citizens as to the disreputa-
bles at whom they We're originally
aimed.
It's probably natural to wish that
one could get all the business in his
line But there never was
nor can be a law that will bring this
about.
Listen to Hector Lazo, the execu-
tive president of a large grocery CO.
operative; "The cry for laws to do
this, laws to do that. Is always loud
