AND TARIFF

1t is reported FROM Beverly tina
President Taft will try to force ;
sbip-subsldy bill through con
gress. We trust the Presid.n
will further consider this recon
mendatioE; for such "a bill canno
pass at the short session hecauS:
All the Democrats will oppose it
and some, if necessary, will talk il
to death All forms of subsidy
are sheer robbery of the tax pay
ers for the benefit of the few who
receive it. If our shipping inter
e-ls can only revive through iii
rect subsidy, there must be some
thing radically wrong with the
fundamental organization Of the
business. We are now paying
subsidies for trans i. tlantic mai
o the American Line, which is
virtually controlled by the Penn
sylvania railroad, but that steam
ship company does not prosper
even with the subsidy Of over
100000 lis ships are old and
slow, and although larger subsi.
dy might be granted by Congress
there is no guarantee that tb.
service would be improved
The Protective tariff Is virtually
a subsidy paid TO those interests
that are protected. The only diff
ference between the ship subsidy
and the tariff subsidy is that the
government pays the first directly
