SHIP SUBSIDY IS CONDEMNED
Umatilla County Farmers. in Mass
Meeting, Adopt Resolutions.

Umatilla county farmers are radi-
cally opposed to the ship subsidy pro-
gram as outlined fy certain members
of congress. Resolutions were passed
at mass meeting of farmers and also
by the Farmers Cooperative Union,
at Pendleton Saturday.
The mass meeting of the farmers
was planned by J. L. Lieuallen of
Adams and was called together by
him. He explained the purpose of the
meeting and then O. A. Barrett was
named as chairman and Il. A. Skies
of Milton was elected secretary.
In addition to the ship subsidy reso-
Iutions the secretary and the chair
man we're instructed to sign a reso-
luton calling on the reclamation
service to adopt the proposed exten-
sion of the next expenditure OF recla-
nation money in this state.
The resolutions relative to the ship
subsidy propositions, in full are as
follows:
Whereas, under the high tariff and
navigation laws of many years past
the American merchant marine has
steadily declined, until less than eight
per cent of American commerce is
carried in American bottoms;
Whereas, this decline is due princi-
pally to the refusal of our government
to allow registry to foreign built ships,
and to excessive duties on all ship
materials, SO that it costs more than
fifty per cent more to build ships In
this country than abroad, and
Whereas, extreme ducies tend to re-
strict imports and also exports and
are heavy handicap on commerce,
and
Whereas, all other commercial na=
tions admit all ship building mater
ials and supplies free of duty. and
Whereas, government subsidies to
in contraversion OF the doctrines OF
equal rights to all and special privil-
eyes to none, and ship subsidies would
lead to the formation and operation
of another great trust constantly
growing by the increased subsidies 1t
was fed on, and
Whereas, the subsidies would have
to be paid by the taxpayers and pro
ducers, especially the farmers and
particularly the wheat growers with
no compensative advantages to them
whatever, but would be a constant
and growing burden upon them for
the benefit Of a combination of cap
italists,
Therefore,: Be it resolved, the far
mers of Umatilla county IN mass
meeting assembled, hereby declare
ourselves emphatically opposed TO the
ship subsidy bill pending in congress
or any similar measure.
Resolved. That in lieu of such ac'
tion we favor granting American
registry to foreign built ships, the
admission OF materials for ship build
ing free of duty, and such reduction
of excessive duties as will encourage
foreign commerce.
Resolved, that as between a ship
subsidy and the position to discrimin-
ate in duties in favor of imports car
ried on American ships, we prefer the
latter as by far the better method.
