Taft will give American business men
in China renewed confidence to push
the lines of trades in which the United
States is Interested.
There seems to be an organized CT
fort to create the impression that there
is friction between Admiral Evans
and the Secretary of the Navy and the
Staff officers in Washington. Moth
ing could be further from the truth.
The utmost harmony prevails between
Admiral Evans and his superior Off
GERS and the Secretary, whose entire
respect and confidence the Command
er of the Atlantic fleet enjoys.
Admiral Brownson, Chief of Navi-
CATION, has more than once recently
taken occasion to give unequivocal
expression to the high respect and es-
teen in which Admiral Evans is held
and to the qualification of the depart
mcnt that the Admiral is available to
command the Atlantic fleet on the
notable forthcoming Pacific cruise.
The department is at a loss to under
stand who can be circulating these
fallacious reports, put forth apparent
ly for the sole purpose of making
trouble, or what object there can be
in thus seeking to injurc Fighting

Mr.. Wilbur F. Wakcman, Sccrc-
tary of the Protective Tariff League,
in an interview with various Wash
ington correspondents, recently, cx-
pressed amazcmcnt over the extent
of the tariff revision sentiment which
he has found in the Middle West and
admitted that reports from all parts
of the country to the organization he
represents indicate general tariff re.
vision sentiment; but he hastcns tc
add that it is conviction that all such
sentiment will have dissipatcd before
time for the elections. 1t is the opin.
ion of politicians in Washington that
the tariff revision sentiment will pre-.
vail and that Mr.. Wakeman places
himself in rather ridiculous light
when he undertakes to prognosticat,
it's evaporation before the elections

WASHINGTON LETTER.

(FRoM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT
WASHINGTON, d. c., OcT. 18TH
The National Association of Rail
way Commissioners, in annual session
in Washington this week, has placed
itself on record as opposed to Federal
control of the railroads of the country
and has virtually repudiated the pro-
position advocated by the President
that the Federal government assume
complete control over all interstate
railways.
The sentiment of the National AS
ISOLATION was formally manifested by
the :. unanimous adoption of the re-
ports Of two committees; to-wit, the
committee on powers, duties, and
work of state railway commissions.
Franklin Mcneil of North Carolina,
chairman of the committee on amend
ment, submitted a report declaring
against any material amendment of
the Hepburn law, at least until the
act had been fully tried. Benjamin
f. Chadbourne, of Maine, chairman
of the committee on powers, etc.,
pointed out, in his report, the use
fulness of the commissions of the var
ious states, and declared in favor of
an extension of their powers, instead
of curtailment, as has been propos-
ed by the President.
Throughout official Washington the
greatest qualification is felt over the
result of Secretary Taft's visit in Chi
ma and from the cables received from
there the people in that far off land
are equally enthusiastic. Evidently
the Chinese consider the United States
to be the only power not wanting to
annex part of the territory OF China
and as being disinterestedly concerned
in China's welfare, and it is regarded
as assured that the utterances Of Mr..

duction in the light rates. In fact,
there had been rumors afioat for some
months of something of this kind coming.
Dollar gas is the cry in most cities not
already supplied throughout the land
today, and the benefits will come to
Rock Island. Moline and Davenport,
not only in the saving to consumers,
but in the inducement the reduction in
both gas and electricity offers to 9th
ers to come here to locate. 1t will
contribute to home building and to
factory building as well.
The assurance of the coming of the
long sought for interurban is, of course,
hailed with delight by all classes of
people. This is one advantage in
which Rock Island has suffered by
comparison both with cities of its class
throughout the state and its adjoining
sister cities. and it has proven a seri-
Gus handicap.
The proposition. well weighed in ali
its bearings and specific requirements,
and fully considered, should receive the
full measure of encouragement con-
sistent with public welfare.

Failure of the Ship Subsidy Bill.

One of the presidents pet measures.
already doomed so far as the seth cor
gress is concerned, is the ship subsidy
bill. There seems reason to believe
that even the presidents recommends
tons in his message at the opening of
this session were decidedly guarded
Few measures before congress have
created so much talk of graft and of
lobbying. That money has been spent
lavishly to influence public sentiment
through the press and other ways is
matter of common nOtOriety. an asser-
ton easily proved. And yet the ex-
tent of the subsidy system, to which
the republican party is pledged in it's
platform and which has the active sup
port of most of the powerful leaders of
that party, makes absolutely no head
way.
The reason seems clear. The present
subsidy for transatlantic lines is
practically bonus of millions of dol
lars paid over to the American line
owned by J. PierpOnt Morgan. The ex-
istence of the subsidy so far from slim
ulating the establishment of new lines
or the building of new ships. has prac-
tically stopped both. Mr.. Morgan has
the subsidy. Another steamship COM
pany would have to operate without
one. at least until new legislation could
be had or a new contract offered and
would thus be at disadvantage More
over, since the American line secured
this subsidy it has not built one new
ship.
The gross injustice. and the hurtful
effect. of the transatlantic subsidy
was so apparent that Mr. Grosvenor of
Ohio offered a substitute for the Origi-
nal subsidy bill combining the payment
of bonuses to lines between North and
South America or Pacific lines. This
measure found some friends that the
first one could not secure. but was
antagOniZed by many of the support
ers of the Gallinger bill. Mr. Sulzer
of New York has a bill which bases
the amount Of the subsidy on the size
of the cargo, a device which he and
his friends believe will enable small
steamship lines TO get their share of
the government gratuity which. under
the other measures. would go alto
gether to the big fellows who can best
afford to dispense with il.
But not one of these measures will
get out of committee this congress. In
the house three of the supporters of
the Grosvenor bill are away booming
senatorial candidates-any excuse for
Il representative to be away is enough.
Three other members are opposed to
any subsidy legislation whatsoever
and the remainder of the committee
are about evenly divided between rival
measures
So people who look upon a subsidy
as a mere effort to loot the
treasury and TO grant special privi-
leges may calm themselves with the
certainty that nothing will be done
this year.
