MORE FEAR THAN REVOLT

At the trial Of Police Captain Foody before Com

THE FIRST STEP Fatal.
ship subidy Bill Merely an Entering
Wedge to Commit the Country
to n Policy.

The Chicago Chronicle correctly es-
Inmates the effect of the ship subsidy
Dill should its friends succeed in en-
cheering 1T through congress.
According to an estimate which
seems to have been made by some
advocate of the shipping grab bill
the total annual cost of our ocean
mail service under the provisions of
the bill will be 81, ZOO, 900 and the an
nual receipts from all ocean postage
will be 100000, leaving an annual
deficit of 81, zoe, 900 on this account.
The amount to be paid for general
subsidies, estimated on the basis of
trade in 1900, is placed at $1,072,000
and the amount of the deep-sea fish
cries bounty at s475,0OO.
This would make total expendi-
ture of So ,947, 900 in excess of the
postal receipts.
This may be a fair estimate of the
cost at the outset. Let us not forget,
however, that the avowed object of
the bill is to bring into existence a
great merchant marine. If it fails
to accomplish this object it's advo-
Gates must admit that it is a failure.
Before the marine can become
great under it's provisions the cost
will be enormous. This is virtually
admitted by the friends of the bill
in the senate when they voted down
the Pettus amendment limiting the
total expenditure under both it's
branches to- 10000 900 year and
when they left the expenditure under
the general subsidy absolutely un-
limited.
Nor should we forget that this bill
Is merely an entering wedge. It's pur-
pose is to commit the country to a
policy, as the London Times has
pointed out. Our own history shows
that when policy of aid to any in
dustry has once been entered upon
more and more aid is demanded and
granted and that it is next to impos-
sible to scrape off the industrial bar
nacles.
The advocates of the subsidy grab
understand this perfectly. They have
no idea of resting content with the
bill as it left the senate. 1t will not
be long before they will appear with
the plea that the measure has not
been successful because congress has
been too stingy. More will have to
be granted before we can have that
oversee merchant marine which is
supposed to be so essential to the ma
tiona1 welfare.
If at last enough should be granted
to secure such a marine the bounty
system would at once become as in
violable as the tariff, and for the
same reason. The benefciaries and
their attorneys would assure us that
a reduction of the bounties by the
smallest fraction would ruin our over
sea shipping, destroy our foreign
trade and plunge the country into
panic and everlasting ruin.
1t is the first step that is fatal in
all false economic policies. 1t should
be resisted to the utmost, because
when that step is once taken others
are sure to follow. What begins as
an infant in these cases is sure to de-
velop into gigantic master whose
exactions are continually growing
more intolerable.
The best time to quit paying sub
sides is before we begin.
