The proposition made by two rival
land companies regarding the selling
of lots on the Diamond Flats to the
school district were thoroughly dis
cussed at last nights meeting of the
school board, but definite action was
deferred until the next meeting, when
more discussion of the question may
be looked for.
The matter was brought up when
Chairman d. j. Roche, of the building
committee, recommended that three
lots at Albright avenue and Lowell
street be bought from the Diamond
Land Improvement company for $780,
the company agreeing to erect build
ing on the property to accommodate
the children now attending the annex
in the Twenty-first ward. The terms
are $500 down and the remainder at the
pleasure of the board.
The other proposition was read by
the secretary. 1t was from j. w.
Browning, who offers to sell three lots
to the city for $500, on which he will
erect a building, the cost of which is
not to exceed $1,000. This building he
agrees to lease to the district for a
term of five years at $25 a month.

up, to the injury Of every Western and
every legitimate Eastern interest. Thus,
in addition to the money which would
directly be taken out of the peoples
pockets and given to great ship operat.
ing companies, the ship subsidy scheme
is a menace to the West in a larger and
more important sense.
Every loyal American would like to
have American ships on every sea. But
the only way permanently to obtain this
condition is to trust to the operation of
natural causes.-Des Moines (Iowa)
Leader, Aug. 5, 1899.
What Congress Is Doing.
The Hanna Payne shipping subsidy
bill is in the hands of a committee and
will be reported to the house of repre-
sentatives. A vast lobby is here with a
number of experts who are preparing
speeches and arguments for the republi-
can members. The republican leaders
on the floor are being trained and
drilled by these experts. The bill is an
Infamous measure, designed to create
an ocean carrying trust, with the United
States treasury at it's back, that will be
able to destroy all competitors. The
%monopolists realize that they cannot lay
steel rails upon the ocean and secure
charters that give them an exclusive
right of way to plow the Atlantic and
Pacific and control the carrying trade.
They also realize that where they an
not control the trackless ocean they
cannot create a monopoly, unless they
can have the United States treasury pay
them a bounty upon their business SO
large that they will be able to crush
competitors National Watchman, Jan.

BASELEss ARGUMENT FOR SUBSI-
DIES.

not own ships will object to paying a
subsidy to the scores who do own them.
Such being the case, the business will
be compelled to stand or fall on its W
merits. and, with every American ship
yard rushed with orders, it is not likely
to fall for an indefinite period.-Port.
land (Ore.) Oregonian, Oct. 26, 1899.
Ships and Shipbuilding.
Mr.. James Boyle, United States con
sui at Liverpool, is the author of an in
teresting paper on British Shipping
and Ship Building" published in the
latest issue of Consular Reports.
1t is regarded as a demonstrated fact
that we can build ships in competition
with the yards on the Clyde; that in
quality and cost of ships we can COM
pete with anybody. 1t is certain that
we are not compelled, like English
builders, to import steel plates and
other items which, according to Mr..
Boyle, We are exporting. Having every
facility, natural and acquired, why
should we not go ahead and construct
ships for the ocean carrying trade?
Why wait for Congress "to give the
w~ord?"-Washington Post, June ~,
1899.
The Shipping-Subsidy Job.
The appetite in some things grows by
what it is fed upon, and nothing is more
encouraging to the desire for a large
subsidy than the grant of one of mod
crate proportions.
The International Navigation Com
pany had in the Payne-Hanna bill a do
nation accorded to it out of the public
treasury of unparalleled proportions.
Ships built abroad or at home were to
be subsidized in a manner that could
not fail to make them profitable to their
owners wherever they were run, and,
having granted to the International
Navigation Company this sweeping op-
portunity to thrust it's hands elbow deep
into the treasury, a time limitation was
imposed which would probably prevent
other eager claimants from competing
in the work of treasury looting. The
scheme was intended to give to certain
favored individuals the chance to call
upon the government for aid and to
deny it to others.-Boston Herald, June
16, 1899.
Subsidies Not Needed.
The United States must have plenty
of ships on the ocean, and the time is
not far distant when she will have them,
but they must be supported, like those
of other nations, by the traffic of the
world, and not by a tax on the people of
u own country.-Portland (Ore.) Ore
CONAN, June II, 1899.

solely with the intention of benefiting a
few powerful shipbuilders. The raid
upon the treasury as planned was, how
ever, too brazen to encourage it's organ
izers in the hope that the country would
permit it to pass unchallenged. So the
old e%xpedient of log rolling was en-
ployed in order to secure the advocacy
or the quiescence of other influences,
and the measure took a final shape
which appalled,, because of it's fragrant
robbery, all " the most hardened of
the subsidy promoters. 1t must not be
forgotten that the lobby controlled and
energized by the shipbuilders is a crafty
and INSCRIPTIONS one, though in this
case it has luckily overreached itself.
It's only governing motive is to benefit
itself by preventing ships carrying the
American flag being built elsewhere
than in American yards, save under
farcial conditions which will never be
realized.-New York Herald, March 3,
1899.
The Ship-Subsidy Plank.
The Leader does not believe that the
republicans of Iowa are in favor of what
has been fifty denominated the most
gigantic subsidy scheme ever proposed
on the floor of the American congress.
We gave the promoters of Western rail-
roads gigantic land grants, out of the
proceeds of which the railroads were
built, thus in effect presenting the rail-
roads to the promoters. All now admit
this policy to have been a mistake, and
that the lands should have been held for
homesteaders or sold to settlers, thus
realizing a sum which would have been
sufficient to %extinguish the national
debt. That the old land grant grabs are
now recognized to have been robbery of
the people and a dissipation of the peo-
ple's heritage is testified to by the fact
that the member of congress VINO would
now propose to give a railroad a land
grant would be kicked out of the body
by his indignant colleagues. A ship
subsidy scheme is ever worse, for it
proposes annually to take many millions
of money directly out of the public
treasury and deliberately hand it over
to certain large oceanic transportation
companies.
The people of the West are interested
in the cheap transportation of their
grain and products abroad. The cheap
er the service the better for them, for
every cent taken off the ocean rates
means that much higher prices to the
producers of the great staples. The sub
sidy scheme holds out no promise of
lower transportation rates. On the con-
trary, it is proposed by it to eliminate
foreign competition and to secure, by
an artificial stimulus, the carving to
