SHIP SUBSIDY BILL
WHICH TAFT APPROVES

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Represen-
tative Humphrey of Washington today
introduced in the house bill provid-
ing for ship subsidy by the United
States government, The measure is un'
derstood to have the approval of Presi.
dent Taft and the administration and
TO be the ono upon which the propo-
uents of the ship subsidy bill concen-
trate their efforts.
The Humphrey bill provides an in
crease in pay to American ships for
CARRYING the mails to South America,
China. Japan, the Philippines and Aus
tralasia bringing it up to 50 pei, mile
for an outward voyage of 40G0 miles or
more. An increased tonnage tax on
the transoceanic trade is provided, and
it is proposed TO admit foreign built
ships to American register for the
foreign trade.
The author of the bill in an explana.
tion of its provisions said the propo-
sition to increase the pay for carrying
the mails was the most important fea-
ture of the measure The postmaster
class ships for carrying the mails the
same rate of 81 per mile that IS now
paid to first class ships.
Subsidies Now Recognized,
Mr.. Humphrey points out that oppo-
nents of ship subsidy seem not to be
aware that we already have this sub
sidv for first class ships under law
enacted in 1891. This law, he claims,
'fis responsible for every American
vessel on the Atlantic ocean and if re-
pealed would cause the American flag
to disappear from the seas within SIX
" days.
"The law Of 1891 says Mr.. Hum
phreys. "dehues a first class ship as one
of moro than 5000 tons and of twenty
knots speed, which has been such n
high requirement that vessels of that
class have not found it profitable to en-
gage in South American, and Pacific
in his bill to give the same subsidy to
vessels of 5000 tons capacity and of
sixteen knots speed. The bill lays
down many requirements for vessels
before they can obtain the subsidy.
The ships must be built according
to plans approved by the secretary of
the navy, of iron or steel and with a
view to their use in time of war, and
be able to carry three or more cannon
of not less than six-inch caliber, They
must at all times be Mt the demand of
the government. They must carry
American boys and train them in sea
manship and be ofticered by American
citizens and have crews composed OF 5C
ner cent or more Of American sailors
The vessels cannot be sold without the
consent of the secretary of the navy,
Mr.. Humphrey adds:
''It might be well to add for those
who have been declaring that the pro
posed legislation was benefit TO exist
ing lines, that not ship now running
can take advantage of the provision:
of this bill. Neither need any of the
I"watch dogs Of the treasury exercise
their lungs, for there is no danger OF
national bankruptcy. II is specifically
provided that the amount that can b'
expended in any one year shall no
exceed the estimated revenue from
the foreign mail service for that year.
