The Ship Subsidy.


The following very pertinent editorial appear
ed in recent number of the Kansas City Star
1t is we'll worth your while to read it and pom
der over its meaning:
1t was to have been expected that President
Mckinley would urge congress to take immeiate
action on measures to promote American ship
ping and foreign trade.' The president is so
thoroughly imbued with the Republican doc
trine of special legislation for the benefit of ia
vored classes that shipping SUBSIDY bill natur-
ally appeals to him strongly. He argues, as in
the case of the protective tariff, that America
can compete with other nations in building
vessels only with the aid Of government support.
The Hanna Frye subsidy bill, introduced at
the last session, will probably be the measure
which the administration will push. 1t pro-
vides a subsidy of from cent to 3.8 cents a ton
for every 100 miles sailed. The grading is
done according to the speed and capacity of
ships and the inducements offered for swift pas
senger steamers are more than twice as high per
ton capacity than for freight boats. A limit of
nine million dollars year is set to the subsid-
izing and the aid is to be given for term of
twenty years This nine million dollars is
probably only ''starter." Representative
Goosvenor, chairman of the house committee in
charge of the bill, said last spring that if the
measure should prove Every beneficial" con-
gress would probably increase the limit.
The only possible reason for the adoption of
such measure would be the presumption that
America cannot compete in ship building with
PrSfo SC oA, tod hot cto
principal material used in construction, is
cheaper here than abroad, and that American
labor is the most efficient in the world. Great
Britain's only advantage lies in the size of her
yards. But the United States builders are in
fair way to achieve all of England's facilities
without government aid. During the ten
months ending with last April, ten plants to
cost from one half million six million dollars
each were begun. The yards already in exist
ence had sixty million dollars worth of vessels
under construction. To-day, they have more
orders than they can fill Yet, this ustv in
dustry is to receive government aid under the
subsidy bill
Details of the measure present it in even
more unfavorable light. The Standard Oil
Company, which owns fleet of tank steamers
for carrying oil, by complying with certain fea-
lures of the bill, would receive about 100000
in subsidies for doing its own work. The In
ternational Navigation Company, which is own
ed in part by Standard Oil men, expects to profit
to the extent of one and one-half million dollars
yearly by subsidies. No party can afford to be
suspected of aiding the Standard Oil trust.
| Furthermore, in view of the prosperity of the
shipping industry in the United States, the Re-
publican organization is running tremendous
risk in proposing to tax the people for the ben
eft of ship builders and owners.
