During the present stage OF un-
certainty in regard to the shipbuilding
outlook the many vessel owners and
builders in Bath find themselves con-
fronted by a troublesome problem.
Vessel owners are waiting to see what
action Congress proposes to take to
improve their business, but, owing to
many measures which have and are
now confronting Congress, including
the ship subsidy bill, the Philippine
shipping bill and the American registry
of foreign built vessels, the situation
has developed into a very complex one.
Although it has been a long time since
any member of Congress has referred
to the ship subsidy bill, vessel owners
frequently discuss it. Although this
bill is not project. they think that it is
the best one that has ever been pro-
vided, for reasons which have already
been fully given, when the matter was
under discussion. But the passage of
a subsidy bill is not half so prominent
in the public mind at the present time
as the American registry matter and
the Philippine bill. This American
registry matter has been brought about
by the efforts to bring the steamer
Beaumont and other foreign built
vessels under the American flag. The
American Carriers Association, repre-
senting 100000 tons of shipping owned
along the Atlantic coast, and many
Individual owners who are not members
of this organization, are against this
proposition. What is most desired by
shipping men in Bath is legislation that
will prevent the admittance Of foreign
built vessels to this American registry.
Great interest is also manifested re-
garding the Philippine shipping bill.
Faith vessel owners are a unit in wish
ing to have this trade restricted to
American vessels, as it is pointed out
that not only are there enough Ameri-
can vessels now built to easily carry
the entire commerce between the
United States and the Philippines, but
there is an oversupply. Since the
outbreak of the Russo-Japanese war
many Bath vessel owners have been
considering the effect on American
shipping. a prominent builder and
owner says this is Il difficult question
to answer, but it seems as if there
might be general tendency to improve
the industry.

Franchise Tax Law.

The attention OF the general assem-
bly, was directed two years ago to the
fact that the revenue of the state is
not increasing in proportion to the
growth Of necessary expenses. When
the annual appropriation for pensions
was increased from $150,00O to $780,
600, the state fell behind in meeting
its expenses, for it was this same year
that $4,000 was given to the Charles
ton exposition.
The legislature appointed a COM
mission to look into the matter of the
states revenue, and this commission
was empowered to sit during the re-
cess and report by bills or otherwise.
That commission introduced three
revenue" bills, only one of which be-
came a law. The bills which failed

entire machinery of the tax depart
