RAIDS ON
NATIONAL TREASURY
Pacific Steamship Lines, Hawaii, the
Philippines and Alaska, All Want
TO Share In Loot.

San Antonio, Texas, Oct. 7.--En-
dorsement for subsidy for five lines
OF steamships to ply between Ameri-
can and South American ports will be
asked by the Pacific coast states of
the Trans-Mississippi Commercial
Congress, which will meet In San An
tonic November 1925. This PROPOSE
tion has already been twice defeated
In the federal congress by narrow
margins. II will be pointed out that
the Pacific ocean, which was once
considered, commercially, to belong to
America, Is now dominated by subsi-
died steamship lines from Japan.
Japanese ships now come to San Fran
cisco carrying American passengers
and American freight at exhorbitant
rates. American companies can not
compete against them because the
Japanese government gives subsidy
for mail service and naval service In
time of war.
Honolulu will also send representa-
tlves to the Mississippi Com
mercial Congress asking endorsement
for an additional appropriation for
harbors and Jetties, and fund for de-
fense of the islands. The island will
also ask special immigration laws al
lowing them to import labor to work
their sugar plantations, which are now
suffering from lack Of help. They will
also ask the congress TO petition the
United States congress to apply home
stead, mining and other land laws OF
the United States to the islands.
Similar requests will be laid before
the Trans-Mississippi congress by del
egates from the Philippine islands.
Alaska will also send delegates ask
ing endorsement for a federal survey
and territorial form of government.
These insular possessions, doing bust
ness chiefly with the trans Mississippi
states, have written that they feel
they have peculiar claim on the con-
gress 10 assist them in their efforts OF
development.
Texas will ask the endorsement for
movement to secure the application
to this state OF the reclamation act OF,
congress. Other Western states will
appear before the congress presenting
their special needs. for this organiza-
tion Is a sort OF clearing house for
Western ideas along commercial lines.
1t gathers together information con-
cerning the needs of all states and
territories affiliated with IL and car
ries these recommendation to the
federal congress. These recommenda-
tions are regarded in Washington as
the unselfish and outspoken opinions
Of the people Of the West and are con-
sequently correspondingly influential
More of the recommendation OF the
Trans-Mississippi congress have been
enacted itno laws OF the nation than
that of any other non-legislative body
In the country.
