The Senate commerce committee
considered this morning the Hanna
Payne ship subsidy bill. Ex-senator
Edmunds, of Vermont, counsel to the
committee in these matters, said that
when he was first retained be had al
understanding that he was merely to
explain treaties and such things as they
apply to shipping. Having served so
many years in the Senate he did not
wish to be regarded ss lobbyist. He
admitted he might have been oversensi
tive, but subsequently, he became so
deeply interested in the general SUB
ject as he began TO study it, that
ne was willing to take his changes
of being considered a "buston,
holer" and q "cloakroom visitor"
He stated that while he was still an
anti expsnsionist and cid not agree en-
tirely with the policy of the admins
tration in this particular, conditions
had to be met. He was opposed to
Hawaiian annexation, but it had come
about and could not be undone, and 10

ly to happen in the Philippines, he de.
clared that the United States must ap-
pear on the other side of the globe
with power and commerce. The
United States must send to that portion
of the earth strong vessels of every sort.
He then went on in the presence of
many of the leading vessel owners of
the country to explain the bill and to
urge its passage this session.

at the national capital are wobbllng
and talking of compromises. 1t Is u
poor beginning in the new trusteeship.
The extension Of the American tariff
system to Puerto Rico by removing
present tariff barriers Is absolutely
necessary to the commercial life Of
that island. We have eminent au-
thority for this statement. The gov
ernor general of Puerto Rico. General
Davis. has testified to this effect be-
fore the committees Of congress In
charge Of insular affairs, ana on Sat
urday he personally assured the presl-
dent that If the United States did not
extend TO Puerto Rico a market at
least equal to that taken from her
when Spanish sovereignty was extin-
guished. absolute destitutior would
overtake a large majority of her in
habitants and the island would be
ruined. The same testimony comes
from the special commission recently
sent by the president to study the
question Of a government for the is
land. Freedom Of trade between the
dependency and the mother country Is
a boon which will benefit both alike.
The intelligent labor OF the United
States will not need to fear the So
called coole labor of Puerto Rico; but
on the contrary prosperous business
conditions on the island will tend to
raise the level of insuar wages, Great
ing a new demand for erticles Of
household necessity and comfort which
can be manufactured with profit in
the United States This is the uniform
experience in the extension of our
boundaries over new territory 1t is
not free trade in the doctrinaire sense;
but free trade within American limits
a wholly different thing. The aim Of
American sovereignty should he to
build up prosperous business cond!-
tions in the new territory. This will
reflect itself in larger prosperity at
home. The body cannot hope to pros
per at the expense of the limbs; but
the prosperity Of every part adds to
the prosperity of the whole.
1t is important to begin Alright in
this matter: to take the larger view:
to work for the ultimate welfare. The
perpotuation of artificia! barriers be-
tween mainland and dependencies
would be most unwise and most un.
fortunate.

Whether enough money is raised in
the various townships to pay for ex-
cellent roads, as he asserts, or not, it
is undeniable that in large majority
of cases the money now raised Is
either wasted or expended to littl,
purpose. 1t would be very desirabla
to have the required improvements
brought about without extra cost TO
the individual taxpayer; and if the
present commission can effect this re-
suit it will more than justify it's ap-
pointment.
But in any event the time has coma
when the question of cost, within rea-
sonable limits, must not be the only
question to be considered in this con-
nection The economy and necessity
of highway development are sufficient
ly recognized to warrant progressive
steps even though to take them may
involve some increase in taxation.
Legislature after legislature has
fought shy of the main point in road
construction which Is the building OF
the roads. The people will expect the
next legislature to get down to real
business in this matter.
