any suggestion to that effect. AS between
the American settler and the awful pos

other, the Canadians will take the former

the Americanization of the Canadian west

Gas franchises.

ST. Paul has been drafting q. new
franchise for the st. Paul Gas Light
company. The company claimed that
1T had perpetual franchise, but as
result of lengthy negotiations by the
lighting commission and the city
Council it has agreed to accept linn
1tation of twenty-five years from the
present time.
l. Besides this limitation. the city has
gained the concession of gas at 81 a
Thousand. beginning in 1907 with a.
minimum monthly charge of rs cents
1nstead of 81. and a gross earnings
revenue of per cent IT is expected
that this revenue will eventually
amount to as much as $50, 600 year,
and that the company will. therefore,
pay the city at least 81, 900, 900 for the
privilege of selling gas in ST. Paul dur
1ng thesnext twenty-five years. Dollar
gas, however, will not be enjoyed by
the people of ST. Paul until 1907.
There has not yet been an agreement,
sbut 1t is probable that an agreement
will soon be reached along these lines.
At first the city insisted on provis-
ions for the purchase of the plant by
the city at the end of any fve-year
period and the absolute requirement
of the plant at the end of twenty five
years upon the payment of a certain
sum The company however, was
resolutely opposed to these provisions,
and might have preferred litigation to
agreement if the city had insisted on
them.
The proposed St. Paul franchise is
o. distinct improvement on the Min
Fneapolis gas franchise, or franchises,
(which were granted in the unenlight-
sned days of the early seventies, when
western municipalities We're accus-
toned to give away valuable privi-
leges, with a bonus to the recipient.
The Minneapolis West Side franchise
was granted in 1870 for a, term of forty
years, and the East Side franchise
was granted in 1872 for period Of
fifty years. There is no provision for
a. municipal gross earnings tax and
no prescription of maximum price
for gas, that being left to the deter
n1ination of the council and the com
pany, or, In the event Of a failure to
agree, to arbitrators.
&8@As a result of an agitation in 1894.
the company is now charging $3.50 a
thousand feet net. which is the same
that is now charged in ST. Paul. Next
year st. Paul. will get a rate of $1.15,
and the following year S1.10.
The present Minneapolis franchise
has one advantage over the proposed
St. Paul franchise in that the city has
the absolute right to purchase the
plant at the expiration of the fran
chfse period-191o for the West Side
the value thereof to be determined
by arbitrators
When this West Side franchise ex-
pires, the city will have an opportu-
nifty to drive better bargain than st.
Paul has made with its company. In
Hlle intervening seven years, however,
y ssst. Paul is going to get its gas much
cheaper than minneapolis, unless the
scity should insist on lower price
than that paid a present and should
be sustained by arbitration.

Ship Subsidies.
To the Editor Of The journal.

To the Editor OF Tne journal.
In editorial comment cn a letter of mine,
YOU suggest the Philippine. and also the
Hawaiian and Porto Rican, trade as exam
pies of business secured to American ships
without the bonus of subsidies-and there
fore as proof of Mr.. Hil's contention that
subsidies are not essential to the upb,1ild-
ing of the American merchant marine.
The Atlantic ard Pacific coastwise and
lake commerce might nave been cited also.
1t is our historic policy to reserve water
borne trade between American ports to
American: vessels-and this policy has
been splendidly successful. So far AS our
merchant shipping has been thus protect
ed, 1t has praspered beyond any other
shipping in the world III
We can provide by law that none but an
American ship may convey freight and
passengers between Duluth and Buffalo,
or New York and Hawaii, or Seattle and
Manila. because. in spite of the magnf1
cent distances. this commerce is domestic
commerce, and both ports are within
sist that none but American ships shall
| bring cargoes to Boston from Liverpool or
to San Francisco from Buenos Aires or
! Hong Kong. There was a time. in the
early history Of Our country. when we
could do this, and we did 1t, by discrimi-
mating tariff duties and tonnage dues, and
| then the stars ard stripes flew over hun
dreds of the best ships af1oat on every
ocean. Thru many commercial treaties
| we have now surrendered this right. and
the only present method of protecting
American ships in foreign trade seems to
/ be by subsidies or bounties-a policy fol-
| lowed tn a greaterEor less extent by every
/! one Of our maritime competitors.
