proceeding on the economy theory, and
unnecessary expenditures are being
held down as far as possible. The
subsidy bill would take millions upon
millions out of the treasury; it would
cost more than any other bit of leg
islation Of the present session; would
swell the total appropriations, and the
present session, instead Of being one
of the most economical, would go on
record as one of the most extrava-
giant of recent years. That would be
a heavy handicap for the republicans
in the fall campaign.
Appeal to President.
Friends of subsidy legislation believe
the speaker will refuse to let the
shipping bill come before the house
this session, so they have appealed to
the president, have carried to him
all manner of stories about the dan
gers that confront American shipping,
and have strong hopes that he will in
tercede with the speaker and in that
way not only insure the report Of the
bill, but get a rule that will pass 1t,
regardless of whether or not ma
iority of the house really favors it.
To pass the subsidy bill would probab-
ly require such a rule as was employ
ed to put through the joint statehood
bill. for all the democrats are oppos-
ed to it. and a considerable number
of republicans and it is very doubt
full if a majority of the house is in
favor of ship subsidy legislation.

Nj That Is Necessary Is For Can
non to Speak.
ADVOCATES APPEAL TO THE PRESIDENT
1T is SAID UNCLE JOE FEARS
THE COMING CONGRESS
SIGNAL CAMPAIGN.

The fate of the ship subsidy bill
is in the hands of Speaker Cannon.
If Uncle Joe" says the word the bill
will be reported from the committee
on merchant marine and fisheries, and
a rule will be brought in providing
for it's consideration. But until the
speaker does give the word, the bill is
apt to remain the unfinished bust
ness" before the committee The COM
mittee is now giving hearings on the
bill, though every one of it's members
knows just how he wants to vote, and
most of them know how they will
vote. The hearings are an excuse
for not bringing the bill to vote, is
the report that comes from Washing
ton CITY,
The committee, as now constituted
is evenly divided on the subsidy bilL
nine members favoring it, nine oppos
ing it. The chairman, General Gros-
venor, wants to report and pass the
bill, but he is not strong enough to get
another vote, and so far the speaker
has declined to intervene and help
him. 1t is conceded that if the speak
err went to work in earnest he could
induce or compel at least one republi-
can who now opposes the bill to vote
to report it, but the speaker does not
action-not because he is opposed to
interfering with any committee, but
because he doubts the expediency of
passing the subsidy bill.
Fear Democratic Victory.
Speaker. Cannon knows that there is
q congressional campaign ahead; the
uncertainty of the pending rate legis-
lation makes it necessary for the re-
publicans to move with caution and
do nothing that will add to their bur-
den, for Notwithstanding their enOr-
nous majority in the present house,
there is a distinct fear among many
prominent republicans that the next
house may be democratic unless the
right kind of rate bill is passed.
The subsidy bill, though popular in
some sections, is decidedly unpopular
in others. To pass it during a repub-
lican congress would be to endanger
republican chances in many districts
in the interior where the farmer vote
is overwhelming, and the opposition to
subsidy legislation is very pronounce
ed. Nobody realizes this better than
the speaker.
But there is another thing that oc-
ours to Mr.. Cannon. This congress is
