A renewed attempt will be made at
the approaching session of Congress
to secure the passage of law to en-
courage the establishment of steam
ship lines between the Atlantic ports
of the United States and South Amer
lea and between the Pacific ports and
the Philippines via China and Japan.
A line to Australia will probably be
included. There will be the usual op-
position no doubt and the same cd OBJ
jection-that it isn't fair to tax the
people at large for the support of
American shipbuilders and shipown-
ers. But if that rule had been applied
to all of the expenditures of tho Gov
eminent this would still be an unde-
veloped country. The assertion that
such a measure is intended to enrich
one class of the population at the ex-
pense of another is answered by the
results of calculation which shows
that if the maximum compensation
proposed which is "a a mile for the
outward voyage, were to be paid to a
modern 16-knot steamer it would
amount to less than per cent. upon
the original cost of the vessel, with
out making any allowance for mai lte-
nance, operation, insurance, repairs,
depreciation, or any other of the innu-
] nf i,,pr ~
ship line.
The objects of the legislation, how
ever, are not to benefit the shipbuild-
ers or the shipowners, but to benefit
the farmers and manufacturers OF
this country by furnishing them trans
portation facilities TO the markets

fleet of transports for our Navy, il
time of war. The payment of fail
compensation for carrying the mails
for a term of years, it is believed, will
give sufficient encouragement to cap
ital to ruin lines of 16-knot steamers
between our ports and certain foreign
markets with which we have INSULT
cient communication, and it is pro
posed to pay for it out of the profits
which the Postoffice Department re
ceives from foreign postage and not
from taxation. This arrangement will
conclusively meet the objections that
have been raised against taxing the
people to pay subsidies for ships, fol
it would simply apply the surplus
earnings of the foreign mail service
to its own support and extension.

that pays a profit, and it has been
paying a profit of several millions a
year for many years, which has been
turned into the Treasury. In 1908 the
receipts from foreign mail were S.
5S5,564 and the expenses weer ST.
S75,911. During the fiscal year 1909
the receipts were $S,627,O95 and the
expenses were $2,734,665.
Therefore, the profit enjoyed by the
Government from the foreign mail SER
vice in 1908 was S5,7O9,655, and in
1909 it was $5,S92, $50. From this
should be deducted the receipts from
the railway mails to Canada and Mex
leo, and the cost of the land transpor-
tation of foreign letters from their
place of origin to the port of ship
ment. This can be easily calculated,
and will leave a net balance of not
less than $5O00,OO0, which can be APP

Urged by Taft.
This proposition will be strongly
urged by President Taft. 1t will be
the leading administration measure of
the session, and assurances have al
ready been received of support from
the Southern States, whose represent
atives in the House voted solidly
against it last year because it was a
Republican measure, although the
representatives themselves and
large proportion Of their constituents
are in favor of the measure.
Indeed, this plan was proposed by
Senator Simmons of North Carolina,
and was adopted by the Senate unan-
imously. The House of Representa-
tives showed a majority Of three
votes against it, although it would
have passed by one vote il two repre-
sentatives from Louisiana had not
been persuaded to change their votes
from yea" to may" after the roll
call, but before the result was an
nounced.

BUILT UP GREAT BUSINESS
Frederick Mayer Boot and Shoe Conn.,
pany a Monument to German
Thrift and Industry.

That the key to real business success is
often based on a sound principle, rather
than money, is best illustrated by the re-
production of the following biographical
sketch of Frederick Mayer founder of the
+. Mayer Boot & Shoe Company, repro
duced from an issue of the German
American National Alliance
Frederick Mayer, founder of the fac
tories at Milwaukee and Seattle now bear
ing his name, came to this country from
Niernstein. Hessen Darmstadt, in May,
1851, and Immediately proceeded to Mllwau-
kee, Wisconsin, where he entered the en-
ploy of r. Suhm as journeyman shoe
maker.
The spirit that prompted him to seek
his fortune in the new world was soon
responsible for another change, and in 1852,
a year later, he embarked in business on
his own accord, making boots and shoes to
order as only a German apprentlced artl-
san knows how Subsequently a stock OF
goods was carried and retail! business con-
Quoted until 1880, when the manufacture of
shoes was engaged in at wholesale to the
trade.
In 1890 the business was well established,
the foundation firmly laid and the policy
well determined. From that time on the
growth was more rapid. The capacity of
the present Mayer factories at Milwaukee
and Seattle is 5000 pair per day, giving en-
ployment to an army OF people, paying an
nually over six hundred thousand dollars in
wages, and employing siXty-five statesmen
who travel "a states in the interest of
Mayer shoes.
Frederick Mayer died on March l6, 1893,
after building up a large and successful
business. He is succeeded by his sons,
George p. Mayer, Fred }. Mayer and Adam
j. Mayer, who by rigidly maintaining the
policy of the founder, have succeeded in
bringing the business up to its present
of German thrift and industry.
