Washington. Oct. 13-"Boost along
the ship subsidy idea! This time 1t
must be put through"
This is the word that has been pass
ed to the standpatters in congress, and
the approaching session may witness
the passage of a ship subsidy bill,
which came within an ace of becoming
a law at the hands of the Goth con
gress.
President Taft started the ball roll
ing in his Seattle speech, and there is
every indication that the Aldrich Phil
istines will permit the steamship COM
pauies to receive millions of dollars
in contributions from the treasury OF
the United States, Notwithstanding
there was a deficit of $S9,000,000 in
the national finances for the fiscal year
ending June so.
There will be plenty of opposition
to the passage of ship subsidy legisla-
ton Not only the democrats will OPP
pose it. There viii be few repub
licans who may refuse to bow to the
will of the Taft-AldTich-Cann trium-
virate.
VIII OG Through Congress.
However, if the Taft wing of the
party, which is the wing that will here
after collect the campaign funds of
the special interests, have resolved to
have ship subsidy legislation passed,
it will go through congress. Aldrich
will grease the rails for it to slip
through thu senate, while good old
