MAIL SUBSIDIES FOR OCEAN
AND FOR RAILROADS.

The proposal to grant such liberal
compensation to a few lines Of steam
ships for carving mails "a viii amount
TO modest subsidies. Is likely to receive
conclusive action this session of Con
gress. It IS said by those who have
long favored the plan of ship subsidies
that there Is excellent chance for the
Senate bill getting through the House.
This measure provides for the es-
adjustment of three lines to the ORR
emit, one to Japan, one to China, and
one to the Philippines, and of two to
South America, both from ports in our
Atlantic coast. It is simply a mail
subvention.
Plainly enough. this effort TO secure
shipping subsidies Is going to be
pressed until it wins. Right OF wrong,
it is a condition which confronts Us.
Other nations subsidize steamship
lines IN order to encourage commerce
abroad and to develop their merchant
marines. If the United States is TO &C
cOmplish these results, 1t must employ
the same methods As we'll abandon
ne policy of protection when all the
world is building tariff walls higher
and higher, and try TO stand alone
against the commercial world, as TO try
10 develop a merchant marine without
subsidies when everybody else pays
them. 1t Is simply a question of
whether the shipping is worth what it
viii cost.
BuC there is one feature OF this mat
ter which should have attention The
Government pays heavy subsidies now
for carrying mails; subsidies which it
need not pay, because they represent
excessive profits TO the railroads The
railroads are VIGOROUSLY overpaid, in
large proportion Of cases. for hauling
the mails. Why, then, would it not be
a good plan to reorganize the whole
system of paying for mail haulage by
rail, including the leasing of mail ears
at prices which pay the cost OF the car
each year, effect an economy Of sew
eral annual millions by putting this
business on a business basis. and then
invest the money thus saved in ocean
mail premiums
BY this plan it would be possible
easily to assure the establishment OF
all the lines of steamships now pro-
posed, and several Others. without a
dollars additional burden or the treas
ury. It Is the bUsiness-like. reason
able way of getting the results. Con
gress and the POstoffice Department
well know that the railroads are ex-
sessively paid They know how to OBJ
tain reform. Why not have reform. and
extend the merchant marine at the
same time, without additional expense.
We are paying immense subsidies for
carrying the mails; why not pay them
where they will do some good?

Making Ad0e1Hsng Dollars Pay

The biggest job the boss has around
any business is to see that he gets 100
cents out of every dollar that goes out
In buying Cloth, he knows just what its
worth, and pays the price
In buying men, he can generally size up
the amount of gray matter and initiative
he's getting. The weekend manila is a
regular barometer of the state of his orig
inal estimate
But eternal watchfulness is the price Of
advertising success
Which means getting 100 cents out
of every advertising dollar
The worst reason in the world for doing
