ACCORDING 30 close estimates ths peopie
Of this country will be taxed, by the new
posssl subsidy bill, about three million dol
lars year for the benefit OF few rich suo-
si,,ized ship owners. The actual amount
will probably be- great deal more. ana
yet the idea upon which this government.
was formed was that under 1t eli should
have equal opportunities, and that special
isyors should be granted to none. why
should few rich shlp-owners be specially
selected out of all the other people OF the
country as the annual recipients OF millions
from the public treasury? Why not treat 6
fsw poor farmers, or merchants. or mechsn'
leg, or any other clsss OF the oouDtry's pop
u alton es generously? The whole theory
upon #h;ch the government was founded
hiss besn radically changed, and instead OF
granting special iavors to none, it is now
conducted almost entirely upon the favorlte
plan. Is it al Ill wonderful that the idea
that tie government ought TO open pawn
chops should be popular IL many paTle OF
toe country?
