GERMAN SUBSIDIES.
win nannn NcNcr Lcnrnt

Ihat Senator Hanna Possesses great
tcnaclty OF purpose and that to this Is
principally owing his political ana bust.
ness success Is wen known. This
quality he again exhibits In his en-.
deavor 10 save his ship subsidy bnl I'm
such n very remarkable manner that
we can hardly speak OF his pcrscvcr.
nucc, but rather OF his thick headed.
ness In spite of the fact that lac has
owing TO different causes not the slight
est prospect of reaching his goal in this
session. he never ceases his cndcavor
TO carry on propaganda FOR II.
a short time ago his chief argument
was that the development OF the Ger.
man merchant marine could Bc traced
TO the subsidy and therefore was dc.
serving OF our Imitation. We took
occasion, forthwith. to give the infor-
nation that senator Hanna was gross
ly in error, and hc has allowed this
argument to drop. but has Immediately
thought out a new enc. He now ad
mita that the German government az
rcctly subsidies only those lines which
maintain the intercourse with the
colonies anl which could not support
themselves without aid. But he as
scrts. as we are informed from Wash
ington, that The German government
grants especially favorable railroad
freight charges upon products intend
cd Tor export and consequently puts
tile exporter IN position 10 pay higher
freight charges on the sea. which
amounts 10 thc same thing as an ndi-
rect support 10 the merchant marine
by the imperial government. In this
assertion SIR. Hanna Is again greatly IN
error.
Upon oct. !. lbJS. n universal specific
tariff was introduced upon the collect
I've German railroads which rests upon
the principle Of making lower charges
for grca! distances, in fact sort OF
zone tariff. In passing We may remark
that this policy VGs previously follow
ed here with us by the railroads, but
was warmly opposed by the public.
Through the we'll known "lOng and
short haul clause" OF the interstate
commerce law discrimination of any
sort Is expressly forbidden.
In the German railroad tariff policy
this idea Is particularly aimed at to
furnish the agricultural products OF
the east market place IN the wcst-in
fact. u partially 10 the same at The cx-
pcnse Of Industry which has given
cause enough for complaint over the
fayortism 20 the agrarlan and the In
habitant OF the cast Of the Elbc. ok
ceDt lif this particular the now specific
freight tariff admits Of no special IA
yor for certain wares That arrive for
export, and It cannot. therefore. be said
that by this means higher shipping
freight could be possible. with this
the entire Hanna argument falls TO
pieces. We are curious 10 see what

FOR THE CLUB WOMEN.
Santa Fe Makes Official Announce
ment of the Los Angeles Trip.

The Santa Fe has made official an
nouncement of the plan mentioned in
the State Journal some days ago. rela-
tive to the setting aside of the Califor-
mia limited for the exclusive use of the
members of the women's clubs who
plan to go to Los Angeles for sixth BIZ
ennial convention of women's clubs to
be held from May ! to s. 1902
A special rate of $45 for the round
trip has been made by all lines, and as
1t costs no more than this, plus the
Pullman fare, to travel on the special
train, the possibility is that a great
majority of the Topeka club women
viii use the Santa Fe for the journey.
In the official announcement, which is
preliminary to the booklet on the sub
ject, now in press. the Santa F'e officials
say;
Recognizing the Importance of tire
woman's clubs of the United States
and the social position of their mem
bers the Santa F'e system has decided
