SHIP SUBSIDY IS
REVIVED AGAIN
PLAN TALKED OVER AT DINNER
GIVEN TO REPUBLICAN
LEADERS.
MERCHANT MARINE LEAGUE TO
TRADE INFLUENCE FOR SUP
PORT OF PROPOSAL.

Washington. June 24.-Ship sub
sidy was revived and a new form of
campaign inaugurated at a dinner
given at the New Willard hotel last
night The new bill has been pre-
pared and viii be introduced in the
house today by Representative
Humphrey Of Washington, and in the
senate by some friend of ship sub
sidy, probably Senator Gallinger.
Speaker Cannon was guest of 'uor
at the dinner last night and emit
Taft gave encouragement to TIE pro
moters of the measure by dropping in
upon the diners shortly after 8
O'Clock and remaining for a short
time. The hosts were officials and
members of the merchant marine
league, headquarters at Cleveland,
Ohio.
The ayowed purpose of the dinner
was TO persuade President Taft
Speaker Cannon and the republican
leaders that the Humphrey bill
should be made part of the republi-
can legislative program next winter.
The officers of the league explained
the details of the organization with
members in 200 of 391 congressional
districts to create sentiment in behalf
of the Humphrey bill. They offered
to turn this organization to the ad
vantage of the republican party in
the next campaign. Two naval fea-
lures OF the Humphrey bill are free
ships and a new system of tonnage
taxes.
Under the proposed law American
registry will be granted foreign built
ships of coo gross tons or more,
wholly owned by Americans These
ships are TO be restricted to the for.
eign trade or trade with the Philip
pines and Hawaiian islands al are
to be barred from coastwise trade and
from mail compensation under the
act of 1884, or the Humphrey act
Tonnage taxes in the waters of this
hemisphere are to be reduced while
tonnage taxes in transatlantic trade
and in eastern trade are to be ma
lterially increased. The reciprocal
law relating to tonnage taxes is re-
pealed. This will mean an increase
of a million dollars in tonnage taxes
to be paid = foreign ship owners and
it IS expected to decrease the ton
mage taxes now paid by American
ships which trade chiefly in local wa
! ters.
Further than this, a rebate of So
per cent. of all tonnage taxes win be

American boys or apprentices to be
