American shipping In the Hands of Our
Rivals

Winthrop L. Marvin, formerly chief
editorial writer of the Boston Journal
and more recently secretary OF the mer-
camille marine commission. has prepared
a paper on American shipping in which
he points out the interest which European
manufacturers and merchants have in re-
tanning control of foreign trade, also he
refutes the familiar claim that Americans
will not go to sea as in former days The
foreign steamship corporations now mon
opollze nine-tenths of the ocean carrying
trade OF the United States, and receive
about 5000, 100000 a year for conveying
our exports and imports, our mails and
passengers. This enormous revenue en-
ables the European governments to main
tain their huge naval reserves at our ex-
pense, and the monopoly of the ocean
carrying gives Great Britain. France, Ger
many and Italy, our competitors in the
foreign trade, the power to check the nat
ural expansion OF American commerce.
The great European steamship COM
panies are made up of European manu-
facturers. bankers, merchants and others,
whose prime interest in many cases is
not after all, in their steamship dividends,
but in the sale OF their European goods In
the worlds markets. They would like
to have us buy heavily of the articles they
make, but they do not want to see us
selling similar goods, made by ourselves,
in the neutral markets of South America,
Africa and the Orient Thus, though
these European steamship corporations
maintain on the whole very good service
N
Europe, they provide either a very poor
service or no service at all between our
ports and the ports of South America,
Africa and Asia.
Controlling the delivery Of our own
wares to our foreign customers, our COM
petitors for the trade can decide at any
time to smother a threatening increase in
American exports. by raising their freight
rates or withdrawing their ships or con-
Quoting an infrequent and irregular ser
vice. They have done this time and time
again in the past and they will do 1t
time and time again in the future, unless
the American people provide vessels Of
their own 10 deliver their goods to their
customers without depending upon their
European rivals
l
young men have lost their racial in
stinct for the ocean, Mr.. Marvin calls
especial attention to the significant fact
that at a time when Great Britain finds
it more and more difficult to man her
ships with her own subjects, the number
OF American citizens afioat is steadily
increasing, in spite of the lack of national
encouragement. This is manifest in the
personnel of the United States navy
Twenty years ago not one-half OF the en-
listed men upon our ships Of war were
American citizens. Now the American
proportion is the overwhelming one o.
92 per cent, of whom 81 per cent. arr
native born and IL per cent. naturalized
The same drift is seen in our merchan
marine, in which the per cenJage o
American sailors rose from 25 in 1896 u
40 in 1905.

Down to Business at LAST.

The net result of the special village
meeting last Friday evening was to wipe

The village charter amendments which
Mr.. Gibson will ask the legislature to
enact will provide, in brief, for the crea-
ton by the village of a water board who.
have the power to negotiate for the pur-
chase of the existing system, or to agree
upon terms of arbitration for its pur-
chase, or, If the village so decides, to
construct an independent system. The
water board may consist of not more
than twelve or less than five members

MIX sIx cents a euart.

On and after tomorrow the price OF
milk will be advanced to six cents quart
by the Brattleboro dealers. Copies of a
printed statement to that effect are being
distributed by the dealers to their Gus
toners. The reasons for the advance are
the scarcity of milk, the great demand
and the high cost of production. Grain
is high, labor Is scarce, the shipment Of
new milch COWS to market has reduced
the supply and the demand is increasing
constantly. The decision to advance the
price from cents to cents was reached
at a meeting OF the dealers a few days
ago. The question Of advancing the
price was agitated a few years ago, but
at that time the dealers adopted the wine
measure instead Of changing the price.
H. G. Smith states this morning that his
name on the circular announcing the ad-
vance was printed without his permis-
sion and that he told the other dealers
he would have nothing 20 do with any
circular. Mr.. Smith says he does not
want any more trade, but that he shall
continue to sell milk at five cents a
quart. trff

BRATTLEBoRo, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1906

II is apparent to the commissioners that
the state should not be asked to con-
tribute toward the expense of making free
the toll bridges now in use without reim-
bursting the towns that have already
freed toll bridges by funds raised by tax
alton.
Here is where the local end of the story
comes into prominence. Brattleboro has
expended in the freeing Of bridges s47,-
075, Rockingham s2O,9S5, Westminster So
062. The total cost to reimburse all Yer
mont towns would be s94,61s. and under
the plan of the commissioners one-half
of this amount would be paid back to
the towns by the state. This means that
the three towns named would receive
one-half of the figures given above. The
commissioners estimate an expense Of
S22, 400 for the purchase of the toll bridges
now existing in Barnet, Guildhall, Lem
ington, Newbury, South Newbury,
Springfield, Waterford and Windsor The
sum of $4,000 is also needed for new
bridges. This makes a total of $685.
709 to be furnished by the state and by
dividing It into 30 annual payments the
amount would be less than $4,000 a year.
exclusive OF interest, so that, as the COM
missioneIs state. the expense need not
frighten even the most conservative. 1t
is figured that Vermont should provide
one-third Of the amount for freeing the
bridges, two-thirds to come from New
Hampshire, as such bridges are within
the boundaries of that state. The scheme
of the commissioners contemplates di-
viding the Vermont third into two parts,
one-half to be paid by the state and the
other half by the town in which any par
ticular bridge is located

Brattleboro. Rockingham and Westmin-
ster will have an experience like finding
money II the entirely reasonable recon-
mendation OF the Vermont commission
ers to consider the matter OF freeing toll
bridges over the Connecticut river are
adopted. These commissioners are Gil
bert A. Davis OF Windsor. George o. Ford
Of Kirby and James B. Seaver Of Wash
ington. They find that 81 bridges span
the Connecticut river in 27 towns on the
eastern Vermont border and that ten are
toll bridges. They are Of the opinion
that the border towns have been unjustly
burdened, public business handicapped
and the passage Of persons from
one state to another prevented by the ex-
action Of tolls, and that the bridge cor
porations have held valuable franchises.
They believe that turnpikes and toll
bridges must "all go and be relegated to
history" They recognize the fact that
while the towns contiguous to any par
ticular bridge are especially interested
the state as a whole has an interest in
the freeing and maintaining of the bridges

The Bennington Banner believes the
lawyers plan for reorganizing the state
judiciary, which provides for a supreme
court of five judges and five superior court
judges whose duty it will be to hold court
in the several counties, is more expensive
and extensive than is now needed. and it
makes an original suggestion which is
certainly entitled to serious consideration
when 1t says: why not add one judge
to the present list OF seven and consti-
tute the five senior judRy the supreme
court and have the other three do circuit
work entirely? The five senior Judges, or,
perhaps all but the chief judge. could as
sist in the circuit work when not re-
quired in supreme court Another advan-
tage would be the having OF three judges
of training and experience who would be
promoted to the supreme bench in case
of vacancy and in order of seniority of
election or appointment"

Vermont volunteer regiment. After the
civil war he entered the regular army

mont is something OF figure in the army
but it is in the navy, with three live ad-
mirals and other high ranking officers,
that the state takes precedence.
