THE INESCAPABLE ISSUE
OF SHIPS

n HE department of COM
W merce reports that ian
increasing share of the
imports and expopS of the
United States is being carried
in American vessels" In eight
months our exports have in
creased 2.5 per cent; those car
ried under our flag so per
cent. Imports have fallen off
19 per cent, but imports under
the flag have grown 90 per
cent.
What has happened is this !:
Germany was second to Great
Britain as a carrier of Ameri-
can commerce. Her ships and
those of the Austrians are tied
up. Deducting the eight
months decrease of total, that
has left S221,000,000 of
freights to be divioed among
other nations. British and
French ships have carried
slightly more of our exports
than last year, but failed by
$163,000,000 to bring as many
imports. Italian ships gained
only S30,000,000 of American
commerce; and they have now
other work. Dutcn, Danish
and Norwegian ships have
taken a much bigger share, but
their number is limited, their
pathway thorny with mines
and torpedoes. American ships
have had to carry our COM
merce if it was to be carried.
1t has been carried only in
part. With South America es-
pecially there has been a ship
ping famine. No other need
drew so much attention at the
recent Pan-American confer
ence as the need of shipping.
No other utterance was so
strongly seconded before it as
President Wilson's that, if pri-
vate enterprise will not carry
our commerce, government
must do so.
When the subsidy influences
and the foreign shipping mo-
nopoly combined to kill the
presidents shipping bill in
congress, they did not settle
the problem. They merely post
poned it.-New York World.

~ lawns this year it is
very noticeable that the
pressure is much stronger than
it was under the old water sys-
TEN. 1t is a bad thing of
course.
Another drawback is that
the water is always cool and
clear. There is an absence OF
the nice little fish and other
choice muck that could form
erly be found in the mains.
Further difficulties about
the new system are that it has
reduced insurance charges in
Pendleton and at the same time
the economy brought about by
the gravity system is such that
the people are now given 25
per cent more water at the
same old price.
1t is timely to mention these
grievances because they show
what usually happens when
people listen to local progress
sives who want the town to
grow and amount to something.
The same sort of people have
just manipulated another bra
zen piece of business in con-
nection with the north side

city to pay $4,000 to secure a

WHY BE so FOOLISH

IN NE AedSuu pcopiG uGCOlllS
VI diStrustful Of big busi-
ness may be found in the
work of idiotic but well paid
writers who endeavor to stall
progressive movements of any
nature and create pro-corpor-
alton sentiment,
To illustrate, here is a sample
utterance from the Pacific
Coast Manufacturer, edited by
Col. Hofer, which publication
with each issue speaks Scorn-
fully of efforts toward greater
social and economic justice:
Application OF the Southern Pacific
railroad and the Associated Oil COM
psny under the Panama canal ac5,
TO continue operation OF a fleet OF
oil steamers from Monterey, Gaviota
and Port Costa Cal. to points in
Oregon and Washington, was denied
by the interstate commerce commits
sion.
The commission held, however, that
operation OF those ships TO the Ha-
wiian Islands or to Alaskan ports
would not be in violation of the law,
This ruling Of the interstate COM
meree commission does nothing but
deprive Oregon and Washington oi
cheap fuel and road oil, and TO that
extent hampers the development OF
the two states.
It is only another Illustration oi
regulatory laws hamper industries
how over-zealous commissions ans
regulatory laws hamper industries
and tie up business operations. The
political management OF national re-
sources has been a complete failure
Could there be anything
more imbecilic than the fore
going? The provision in the
canal act referred to is the one
that bars railroads from Oper-
ating steamer lines in compe-
tition with their own rail lines
No saner measure was ever en-
acted in the history of the ma.
ton.
Instead of increasing the
price of oil the enforcement OF
this law against the Southern
Pacific oil ships should lower
prices. The action means in
dependent steamer lines may
now be established and that the
railroads cannot longer drive
them off by cut throat tactics
The way is clear for real COM
petition between ocean and
rail lines and it is logical to
expect reduced carrying
charges.
When those who defend cor
poraton interests deal in bun
combe of the variety promul-
gated by the Pacific Coast
Manufacturer it is not surpris-
ing people generally doubt
statements made in behalf of
big business.
