The ship subsidy bill. which is a
proposed steal of $3000,000 annually
for IA term of years was passed in the
United States senate Thursday. The
two senators from Wisconsin John
c. Spooner and Robert NJ LaFollette
voting in ht negative on its passage.
If the bill should be concured in by the
House and the President atfixes bis
signature to it. there should be Il po-
litical house-cleaninr in this country
at tie next election and honest men
elected to congress. The writer has too
much confidence however in President
Roosevelt to believe for single mo-
ment, that he would attach his name
to such piece Of legislation and by
such an act rob the taxpayers of the
country for the benefit of IL lot of
scheming grafters. 1t will be well for
the voters to keep tab on the men,
beers in the House Of Representatives
who vote for the bill, and turn them
down hard when they ask for renom.
