Congressman Butterworth (rep.) in his
recent speech on the steamship subsidy
bill, sought to arouse his republican col
leagues 10 the wrongs resulting from the
extreme turih and subsidy legislation pro-
posed In apt and glowing terms he set
forth the burdens constantly being inn
posed upon the people, and how few
grown immcn nsciy wealthy 10y the system,
were struggling to Justify their work. He
then summed up the whole matter in the
following -rong and expressive language
"The fact of the bu,iness is, we have
become q, ,custCmcd to permitting those
who have the advantage, 10y reason of
great wealth and consequent ability to
own or control old established republican
