He cites a 7 percent potential revenue based on prior year tables and suggests a special levy on distilling industry income over 508 dollars per year. Stills above zero capacity would lose registry rights unless within limits. The aim is to curb illicit distilling, as current rates spur illegal production.

15 Years Longer By Supreme Court Berliner Patent Decision
Washington May 10 The Bell Telephone Company wins title to the Berline patent by the United States Supreme Court. The decision sustains government claims that the 1891 patent was improperly granted and continues Bell’s control for about eleven years beyond expiration, despite allegations of collusion and prior patents. Justice Brewer writes the opinion with Justices Harlan Gray and Brown differing on certain points. The ruling upholds the government’s position that the Berliner patent was invalid and that delays were not caused by the Bell company. The case originated in the U S circuit court for the district of Massachusetts and involved the same invention as the 1830 patent, leading to the ultimate reaffirmation of the government’s claim in the high court.
