Its Members Almost Forced to Accept an
Increase of Salaries
The President Has Few Words to Say the Great
Desirability of Ship Subsidy BilI-Other Items of
Interest From National Capital.

Washington. Jan. 23-The senate to-
day accepted the proposition of the
house of representatives to increase
the salaries of senators, members and
territorial delegates 10 $500 year and
those of the vice president. the speaker
of the house and members OF the pres
ident's cabinet to $4,000. This action
was taken by q vote Of SO to q, fol-
lowing a discussion of nearly three
hours. An amendment confining the
increase to cabinet officers and the
presiding officers of the house was
voted down as was also n proposition
to postpone the increase until 1913.
President Roosevelt gave his views
in advocacy of the ship subsidy bill in
a special message which was read in
both houses.
Mr.. Beveridge of Indiana began an
extended address setting forth the
child labor conditions of the country
i'm support OF his pending bill prohibit
ing from interstate commerce articles
which are the product of child labor.
Mr.. Beveridge gave notice that he
would conclude his address tomorrow.
The urgent deficiency appropriation
bill was reported by Mr.. Hale who said
he would ask for its consideration to-
morrow.

A Half Score of Bills introduced in The
Two Houses
The Councils Committee Northumberland l. Still
Painful PerspiratiOn of Blood Over the Extra
Committee Clerk Question.

Though neither house of the legisla-
ture is completely organized Yet the
business of active legislation is already
under way Several bills We're intro
duced into each branch yesterday. In
the house, Mr.. Crenshaw put i'm one
providing for a three cent fare on the
railroads of this territory. For chill
dren under ten years of age. there shall
be a half fare. In case a passenger
boards a train at a station where
tickets are sold. the conductor may
make an additional charge Of ten cents
The three cent passenger shall be al
lowed to carry $50 pounds of baggage
Mr.. Crenshaw offered three bills af-
fecting the offices Of justices of the
peace and constables. One of them re-
duces the fees generally Of those Of
fees and another provides that neith-
er the justice nor the constable shall
be allowed to retain or collect more
than $25 a month for costs in cases OF
disturbances of the peace. This bill is
similar in principle to a law by an
earlier legislature restricting the costs
which precinct officers might make out
Of vagrancy cases. Since then there
have not been so many vagrants in the
country and it is apprehended that if
the pending bill becomes a law the
territory of Arizona will be more peace
ful than formerly.
Another bill by Mr.. .Crenshaw pro-
poses an increase of the salaries of
counties of the first class from S75 to
500 a month.
In the council Mr.. O'Neill Introduced
bill for the suppression Of samb
ling. The provisions of the bill are
similar to those OF the Littlefield bill
Mr.. Hunt of Gila also brought in 4
bill for the same purpose. 1t is simpler,
merely repeating that section of the
statutes which provides for the licen-
sing of gambling. 1t was this form Of
legislation against gambling which was
recommended in the governors mes
sage and il is thought that the Hunt
bill will be the one passed. for it is
certain that one Of the bills will be
passed.
Mr.. O'Neill presented a bill to pro-
hibit women from lettering about sa-
looms. Mr. Hunt has a bill for the
mentions saloon singers, sporting wO-
men, barmaids and in fact all kinds of
women.
Another bill by Mr.. Hunt proposes an
increase of the territorial license for
saloOns and dramshops to $3.50 a quart
er. The measure is said to be advOcat-
ed by the leading saloon keepers In
several towns which are closely sur
rounded by small mining camps and
road houses, though 1t is understood
that the saloon keepers of Phoenix and
Tucson who are already paying a city
license of $1,000 a year are not in active
sympathy with this movement.
Another bill by Mr.. Hunt proposes
fee of SO day for all jurors and
mileage at 20 cents one way. All the
council bills were referred to the ju-
dietary committee.

cannot but arrest the attention OF peo-
pie To the continent to the south of us
which should be knit to US by the clos
est commercial ties. and who are now
hardly i'm direct communication with us
at all, its commercial relations being
almost exclusively with Europe.
Between all the principal South
American ports and Europe lines of
swift, commodious steamers. subsidized
by their home governments ply regu-
larry. There is no such line of steam
ers between these ports and the United
States. In consequence, our shipping
TO South American ports is almost i
negligible quantity. for instanC,, in the
year ending June 30. 1905. there en-
tered the port OF Rio de Janerio over
5000 steamers and sailing vessels from
Europe, but from the United States no
steamers and only seven sailing YES
sells, two of which were i'm distress. The
prime reason for this state of things is
that those who now do business upon
the sea, do business in a world not OF
natural competition but subsidized
competition.
State aid of steamship lines is as
much a part of the commercial system
today as the state employment con-
suls to promote business. Our CONNER
cial competitors in Europe pay in the
aggregate S25.OOOOOO year to steam
ship lines. Japan pays between three
and four millions. BY the proposed
legislation the United States will pay
relatively less than any one OF our
competitors. Three years ago the
Trans Mississippi Congress formally set
forth the. automatic statement that ev-
cry ship is a missionary i'm trade; that
steamship lines work for their own
countries just as railroad lines work
for their terminal points. 1t is as
absurd for the United States to depend
upon foreign ships to distribute its
products as it would be for a depart
ment store to depend upon the wagons
of competing houses to deliver its
goods This statement is the literal
truth
Moreover it must be remembered
that American ships do not have to
contend merely against the subsidiZa-
tiOn Of their foreign competitors. High
er wages. the greater cost of mainten-
ance and crews make it almost impos-
sible for our people who do business on
the ocean to compete on equal terms

BETTER JOB
FOR SHONTS
He Quits the Isthmian
Canal Commission
He Was Not Entirely
Satisfied With Senate
Restraint.

Washington. Jan. 23.-The rcsigna-
ton of Theodore p ShOnts as chair
man of the Isthmian canal commission
was announced at the White House
today to take effect not later than
March 4. Mr. Shonts having been
elected today as president Of the In
terborough Metropolitan company,
which controls the rapid transit and
many surface lines in New York.
No announcement was made as to
who will succeed Mr. Shonts but il
was learned that the headquarters
would be removed from Washington to
the isthmus and that a high salarled
chairman to serve in that capacity
alone will not be named. This being
admitted it follows that John F. Ste
vens, the engineer in charge Of the
construction OF the canal, would not be
made subordinate to another official
on the isthmus. II is regarded as a
certainty that Mr. Stevens will be
named as chairman of the commission
in connection with his post as chief
engineer.
Mr.. Shonts' retirement does not
come wholly as a surprise. IL has
been rumored persistently that as soon
as action had been taken on the prOpO-
s,tion to build by contract Mr.. Shonts
would resume calling more congen-
al to his taste. Secretary Taft today
confirmed that rumor by saying that
Mr.. Shonts' resignation was voluntary
which fact is borne out BY the presi-
dents letter i'm accepting
The correspondence follows:
MY Dear President: | hereby ten
der my resignation as chairman Of the
Isthmian canal commission. effective

March 4.
1t is unnecessary for me to assure
you of my great appreciation oG the
confidence you have reposed in me and
Of the splendid support you have al
ways accorded me since my first ap-
pOintment by you.
Very sincerely yours,
ct. p. SHONTS."
The presidents reply follows:
My Dear Mr.. Shonts: / accept
your resignation with extreme rNuct-
ance. do so merely because 1 do
not feel justified in preventing your
acceptance of the position you have
been asked to take in New York. a po-
sition of such great consequence not
merely to the people with whom you
will be associated in the management
OF the enterprise but to all citizens of
New York. You have shown through
out your association with the commits

THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
Secretary Taft tonight called atten-
tion TO the fact that the work Of or
ganiZing the commission had been COM
pleted and that as Mr.. Shonts had
been brought here to assume the exc
cutive duties necessary for such organ
iZation his presence was not absolute
ly necessary.
The Ryan Belmont syndicate which
has now secured Mr.. Shont's services
sought them some time ago. Before
doing so Paul Morton. formerly secre-
tary of the navy. called on the presi-
dent and acquainted him with the In
tentions of the InterbOrough MetropOl-
itan. 1t is said the president then ex-
pressed regret at the thought OF losing
Mr.. Shonts' services but agreed not to
stand i'm the way if he should be elect
ed president of the company.
Shonts became chairman of the COM
mission April 3rd. 1905. coming from
the presidency of the Clover Leaf
Route.
This in connection together with the
fact that Mr.. Shonts spent little time
on the isthmus caused considerable
dissatisfaction in the senate, which re-
fused last session to confirm the nOmi-
nation of the canal commissioners and
they have not since been confirmed.
The failure Of the nominations have
nothing to do with his decision, eX-
cept in so far as the incident caused
him to chafe under the restraint Of
red tape" through which he was COM
PEELED to work. He often expressed
dissatisfaction with conditions and said
TO friends that were it not for his
friendship for the president and Mr..
Taft he would resign apd again take
up railroad work where he would not
have to ask permission to buy a lead
pencil"
In removing the headquarters of the
commission from Washington to the
Isthmus the expensive offices here will
be abandoned. In the Washington Of
flee there has been the secretary %
the commission with a definite line of
work, the auditing and purchasing de-
partment as we'll as a number of other
branches. 1t is obvious that some Of
these departments will have to be re
tanned but it is likely they will be plac-
ed under a bureau of the war depart
ment.
1t is expected that before Mr.. ShOnts
actually sewers his connection he vii
dispose of the matter of letting the
canal by conract which is now pending.
Mr. Shonts left here yesterday for Kan
sas City where he will make an address
tomorrow night

Il call your attention to the great de-
STABILITY of the expected legislation to

encouraging the building and running
of lines of large swift steamers to
South America and the Orient. The
urgent need OF our country's making an
effort TO do something like its share
in the carrying trade on the ocean has
been called to our attention in striking
fashion by the experiences Of Secretary
Root on his recent South American
tour. The result of these experiences
was set forth in an address, before the

in Kansas City on November 20 last, an
address so important that ii deserves
the careful study Of all. The facts set
