PROPOSED SHIP SUBSIDY BILL

100000 to $6,0OO,000 in increased
taxes, the 500 ships which could be
secured under the plan favored by
the democrats and progressive repub-
licans. would not cost anyone a
single penny.

ITO sugarcoat the subsidy bill, y
said Mr.. Kustermann, lit is suggest
ed that we only spend in subsidies
the S5.O00,000 or S6.O00,00O which
aecrues from the profit our govern
ment is making on its present for
eign mail service.
1T was only by this profit that the
deficit of our postoffice department
was kept below $20,O00.00O, and l
do not believe that the people of the
United States are willing to have it
increased to 100000 by taking
out of our postoffice funds $4,000, 900
or $4,000, 900 for the purpose of add
ing about dozen ships to our mer-

ships are necessary as transports in
