FAvORs THE SHIP
SUBSIDY MEASURE
It's Author Speaks in Con-
gress on the Points In
It's Favor.

Washington, D. c., May 21.-Repre-
sentative William z. Humphrey. Of
Washington, who has given his name
TO the ship subsidy bill. reported from
the committee on merchant marine and
fisheries, addressed the house today
and made a full explanation Of the
measure. Careful attention was given
Mr. Humphrey by the supporters OF
ship subsidy among the majority party.
This BILL explained Mr.. Humphrey,
merely pays for services TO be rem
dered- 1t pays a stipulated amount
to ships, but IL demands that those
ships shall first perform government
service, and it demands full value for
the money paid. This service is di-
rect and OF the highest Importance &c

Specifications approved by the secre-
tary of the navy They must carry
American boys and train them in sea-
manship. They must be constructed
so that they can be economically and
speedily converted into auxiliary cruz
sers They must be ever at the call
Of the government in time Of war.
What higher services can be rendered
than is here imposed-that of protect
ing the government?
eff the payment under this bill is
a subsidy, then the money paid for
construction of navy is a subsidy, the
maintenance OF an army is a subsidy.

The Democratic BILL
Turning his attention TO the attituds
of the minority toward ship subsidy,
Mr. Humphrey said the pending Demo-
cratic measure for building up the mer-

bill. was in fact a ship subsidy bill.

BRYAN ON THE SALOON.

FROM William j. Bryan's Commoner.
The average saloon is the most dis
reputable place in the community; It
Is a bureau of information on vice; it
Is. the first place che would enter to
INQUIRE for gambling hell or discr-
DERBY house. 1t is likewise the first
place visited by the officers Of the law
when they are looking for criminal
ana the first place closed in case OF riot
OF disturbance. Those who defend the
open saloon do it on the ground that
IL necessary evil and that rhe use
of liquor can be better regulated by Ii
cense than by prohibition-it is never
defended on the ground that the saloon
Is center of morals, an educational
institution, social asset, or even an
economic advantage"
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1910-05-21

says: There don't seem to be any,
thing in particular the matter with US
besides what ails us, but there Is no
question but that we should be making
some sort of a united effort to secure
a good hotel for this city. The lack
of IT Is now becoming real bump 70
the town. Travelling men are coming
thicker as we grow in business i'm
portance. and they are taking notice
of its absence and discuss II with other
travelling men they meet out in the
field of commercial work. Travelling
men are a great help in advertising a
city. and If we had place TO take them
and a decent playhouse that could ac-
cOmmodate the good shows. we would
find both the hotel and the opera house
splendid assets. If nobody is going to
tackle the hotel and the opera house
business, let's get together and per-
suade somebody to come who will.

In Texas the poll tax is $1-7o per year,
of which 500 goes to the school fund.

During the year ending June 80, 1918,
the United States imported from Europe
1928 tons of flax and tow Valued ~
SEAS per ton, or S2.369,S64- This 1lort
was manufactured into cOrdaGe, thread
and coarse fabrics. The linen flax
used in the manufacture of fine thread
costs $3.50 ton.
For the same time the importation OF
linen fabrics such as table linen. sSaests,
dressgoods, toweling. etc, amounted to
5117, $50. The importation OF linen
handk erchiefs alone amounted to more
than s2.soV,6oe.S~ The duty on these i'm
ports-footed up a large sum- On
~hackled flax it was S67.20 ron. not
hacked, S22.4O a ton. on tow. $50 ton
Manufactured fabrics pay from 10 to 60
percent ad valorem.
What is the reason that America does
not utilize her own Lax fibre and save
on her imports from fireign countries?
The answer is that we can import the
flax products cheaper from countries
where labor is underpaid than we can
manufacture them at home, where
wages are high. And, moreover. that
no machinery has as yet been invented
which would enable Us to cope with the
converting it into the finished article
in any thing like reasonable time.
America wants TO DO everything in
hurry In other lines we have evolved
the finest machinery in the world. but
as yet there is none that would be much
of an improvement on the old methods
in flax treatment.
The process at present employed in
Europe for converting flax fibre into
linen and other products is almost as
archaic and primitive as that used
thousands of years ago.
The method Of treating flax in an
cient Egypt has been more or less fol-
lowed ever since with little improve
ment. Here is an unoccupied field for
an American inventive genius to make
millions. Who can turn this eight mil
lion tons of flax fibre now wasted into
big industry? There must be some
simpler process Of getting the fibre
from the straw than that of the ancient
Egyptian way The one who can find
the chemical that will do 1t will get
rich.

- ing country in the world. there is
not a yard of linen woven from this
product. We imported last year. s117.-
100000 worth of linen fabrics from
Russia, Germany, Belgium, Ireland and
other European countries, while we
could manufacture from our own flax
enough linen TO add one billion dollars
to the wealth and commerce of the ma
ton.
A prominent New York business man
recently said that he had travelled west
on the train for "a hours on the stretch
through burning flax and was never out
of sight OF this waste and that the
whole country was under pail OF
smoke like Nthe forest fires of Michi-
gan.
The annual growth of fax in America
amounts TO about eight million tons
This produces tWenty-siX million bush
els of Iinseed which in turn gives over
seventy million gallons Of oil. in value
equal to about Y50,OOO,0O0. about one
twentieth the value if the fibre were
turned into linen, as the same eight mil
lion tons would produce almost three
million tons of flax fibre which could
command q price of between 5000 and
$500 ton for the purpose of linen man
ufacture or over a billion dollars for
the whole.
In the manufacture of silk we have
$40, 900 invested, in that of wool,
$4,000, 600 and in that of cotton $780,
100000, but not a dollar in the manu-
facture of linen from American flax.
This waste of over eight million tons
of flax fibre which is burnt up every
year is not only waste but a national
sin, which II it does not cry TO heaven
for vengeance. at least should cry out
to the consciences of our men of wealth
who could turn it into source OF
wealth and enrich tens of thousands OF
the poor OF this country by giving them
employment. Think of the mills that
could be started, the hum of the indus
try that would make music in the ears
OF the idle masses by giving them
profitable work.
Despite the fact the new tariff revis-
ion has materially advanced the duty
to so percent ad valorem on flax and
flax products from European countries.
we still are increasing our imports and
giving no thought whatever to the fact
that within our own gates we could
