The Judges Musings
PANAMA CANAL TOLLS.

, the real motive is the promotion Of
. monopoly.
All this involves the venerable eco
nomic fallacy Of taxing the people tc
support an industry which complains
that it cannot support itself under
free competition. Instead of granting
the demand for toll-exemption for the
coastwise shipping, the proper step
would seem to be in an opposite direc-
tonic repeal the registration laws
and thereby throw the coastwise trade
open to the vessels of other nations
that is to say, to repeal the monopoly
now enjoyed by the coastwise marine.
One can hardly see why the ship
ping industry should be made spe-
cial favorite, or why the consumer
should support a self-confessed indus
trial pauper. Industrial paupers usu-
ally drift into some profitable line of
employment as soon as the govern
ment hand-out is withdrawn; or rath-
err, as usually occurs, it develops that
they, in fact, had always been able
to shift for themselves and that their
poverty had been merely assumed
"for revenue only"
The sentimental plea that the
American flag is being driven from
the seas for want of some form of
ship subsidy should not avail The
fact is that in the days of wooden
ships this was not true. but that
it only threatened to become true
when steel was substituted for wood |
in ship construction; and it threatened
to become true only because the
American producer of steel enjoyed |
a privilege which enabled him to sell
his product to the ship bailder at
Liverpool than to the ship builder
at New York and Norfolk. When this
is destroyed, the domestic
of ships in the country
where steel is produced the most
,heaply will revive; and the revival
,an also be FASTENED by permitting
he registration of foreign built ships
n the coastwise marine.
Aside from treaty obligation, there
are sufficient reasons why the ships
If all nations passing through the
Panama canal should be treated with
absolute impartiality-the coaatwise
ressels of the United States as well
Is others. The coastwise trade be-
ng open only to American ships, it
annot even be argued by the pro-
ectionist that the exemption or re-
mission of tolls would encourage that
lass of American shipping; but it can
cry seriously be argued that the ev-
mption or remission of the tolls will
ield two undesirable results: IL the
government will lose the toll charges,
nd (2) sum at least equivalent TO
he toll charges will be taxed to the
onsumer of goods transported by
ray of the canal by the shipper by
irtue of his advantage over compet-
,ors.

How is Your Boiler?

II has been stated that mans
stomach is his boiler. his body is his
engine and his mouth the fire box. Is
your boiler (stomachl in good work
ing order or is il so weak that il will
not stand fun load and not able TO
supply the needed energy TO your en-
gine body? If you have any trouble
with your stomach, Chamberlain's
Tablets will do you good. They
strengthen and iavigorate the stom-
aeh and enable it TO do its work nat
urally. Many very remarkable cures
of stomach trouble have been effected
by them. For sale by all dealers.

" HOSE who advocate that the
American coastwise shipping
should pass through the Pana-
ma canal toll free are usually those
who believe in ship subsidies and the
other fallacies involved in the ideal of
protection. President Wilson, in TAX
ing the stand he does on the subject,
] is prompted by two motives: On the
desire to sacredly preserve our treaty
obligations as they are understood by
Senator Root and the best experts or
international law; and ~ his oppo-
sition to the doctrine of protection.
The ideas involved severally in
ship subsidies, bounties, exemption
from tolls, and protective duties are
fundamentally identical. 1t makes no
difference, as a matter of principle,
whether the government favors an
industry by custom duties, or by a
subsidy or bounty, or by exemption
from tolls and tonnage; because each
and all of these methods, in ultimate
analysis, means that the duty, the sub
sidy, or the exempted toll or tonnage
will be charged to the consumer with
interest and profit to boot.
The American coastwise marine is
already given monopoly of the
coastwise trade by our registration |
laws. Under those laws none but |
American built and American owned
ships may ply the coastwise trade.
1t is mistake to say that the United
States has no merchant marine. Our
coastwise merchant marine has a lar
ger tonnage than that of any other
nation, Great Britain alone excepted.
1t is only in the deep-sea marine, or
in the shipping engaged in interna-
tional trade, that the American mer- {;
chant marine is at a disadvantage
when compared with the merchant
marines of other great powers.
Enjoying as it does an exclusive {
of the coastwise trade, this {

Panama canal tolls. Having the ex-
Elusive right to carry goods from {

lace at a disadvantage in competi- a

rom the toll-charge will be able to t
AIRY its cargo at lower transporta- n
ion charge, and the owner of the c
argo will be able either to undersell v
he competitor who has the toll-charge e
dded to his transportation charge, or y
D add the exempted charge to his g
cling price to the consumer. 1t is a
y this process that it is sought to Il
re-enact some of the old c
rovisions of the Payne-Aldrich tariff W

THE FARM ADyIs Err.

Alfalfa is one Of the most valuable
crops in the country now, but ii never
would have been here if the govern
ment hadn't sent a scientist to Asia
TO get IT, Something like 30 million
dollars worth Of Durum wheat was
grown in the United States last year,
but there never would have been a
spear Of it raised here if some scien-
fist hadn't gone into the high, dry
steppes Of Russia and found it and
brought il here II was the govern
mcnt that first imported Kafr corn
and the agricultural experiment sta
tons that showed the government how
10 raise it. II was the work of the
farm adviser that showed the farmers
Of the South how 10 grow cotton in
spite of the boil weevil or how T.
raise other crops If the weevil got too
thick for them. IL was a farm adj
wiser who showed the fruit growers
of California that il wasn't necessary
to cut down their orchards in order
TO get rid of the San Jose scale. 1t
was farm adviser in Connecticut
who showed the tobacco growers
there how to produce tobacco that
would sell for 81 pound instead of
for 20 cents It was a farm adviser
who showed the orange growers of
California, who had been in the bust
ness all their lives, how TO ship their
fruit with 10 per cent less loss than
they had ever been able to do it them
selves, And so it goes, and has been
going all along the line.
