Authority is given the board
to investigate the organization,
conduct and management of
steamship lines and to furnish
the President with information
that will enable him to seek nee
essary regulatory legislation
from Congress.
The bill extends provisions of
the existing act to regulate com
merce and amendments so as to
include common carriers engag-
ed in oversee shipping under
American registry. The Ship
ping Board is substituted for the
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, however, in the proposed
extension of the commerce law.
1t is provided in the bill that
after January 1, 1917, no cor
poration shall engage in oversee
shipping without first obtaining
a United States license and the
board is authorized to establish
rules and regulations in this re-
gard, providing they do not eff
feet the existing laws in regard
to steam vessels.
Ships which operate under the
proposed act are to be listed by
the Secretary of the Navy, with
the approval of the board, as "a
vessel of the United States Aux
iliary Reserve" and such officers
and crews as may volunteer for
the purpose may be enrolled as
members of the reserve.
To induce enrolment in the
reserve the bill provides that

each enlisted man shall receive
an allowance of So a month; pet
ty officers, SIS; warrant officers,
So, and officers, $12.
To put the act into effect at
once an initial appropriation of
$10,0OO,000 is appropriated out
of the Treasury. In lieu Of such
an appropriation, it is provided
that the Secretary of the Treas
ury may issue or sell Panama
Canal bonds to secure the S10,-
100000.

THE NEW SHIP PURCHASE
BILL


The administration ship pur-
chase bill will be presented to
Congress probably early next
week and go to the House Com
mittee on Merchant Marine and
Fisheries.
The measure was drafted by
Solicitor Thurman of the De-
partment of Commerce, and has
during the last few days been
carefully scanned by Secretary
of Commerce Redfeld, Secretary
Of Treasury McAdoo and Repre-
sentative Alexander of Missouri,
Chairman of the Merchant Ma
rine Committee. 1t will be SUBJ
mitted to President Wilson for
approval after further confer
ences by those perfecting the
bill.
In many respects the bill is
similar to the measure advo-
Gated by the President during
the closing weeks of the last ses-
sion. The latter passed the
House, but was talked to death
in the Senate by Republicans.
In several vital particulars, how
ever, the proposed measure is
regarded as an improvement
over its predecessor.
Next to his national defense
program President Wilson is
more concerned over the fate Of
the shipping bill than any other
measure to be offered by the
administration to the Congress
which convenes tomorrow.
The new bill, as drafted, pro-
vides for the creation of a board
to be known as the United Ship
ping Board, "for the purpose of
encouraging and developing the
merchant marine to meet the
requirements of the commerce
of the United States with for
eign countries and with it's ter
ritories and possessions.
This board, it is proposed,
shall be made up of the Secre-
tary Of the Navy and Secretary
of Commerce as ex-officio men,
bers, and three Commissioners
to be appointed by the President,
by and with the consent of the
Senate.
The first Commissioners nam
ed shall hold office for term of
two, four and six years, respec-
lively, but their successors shall
be appointed for six years, ex-
cept when named to fill unexpir-
ed terms.
No Commissioner may engage
in any other business, vocation
or employment, and may be re-
moved by the President for
cause.
In the absence of the Secre-
tary of the Navy or Secretary of
Commerce, Assistant Secretaries
of the two Departments may act
as members of the board.
Each Commissioner, it is stip-
ulated, shall receive $4,000 a
year and the Secretary of the
board, to be named by the Com
missioners, $4,000 year. The
board is authorized by the bill to
employ and fix the compensation
of such officers, naval architects,
clerks and other employees as it
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1915-12-10

it is provided that the President
shall give reasonable notice in
writing to the lessees or owners
of the vessels when they are
wanted for the naval auxiliary
or transport service, but, in the
event of an emergency, the YES
sells may be taken over without
notice.
It is prescribed that all yes
sells chartered or leased by the
board or the President for com
morcial purposes must be under
American registry and subject
to all the laws of the United
States.
Provision is made for the in
corporation of the shipping
board, either under the laws of
the United States or any State
or the District of Columbia.
Power is given the board to
regulate the operation Of all
steamship lines and vessels en-
gagged as common carriers in the
transportation of passengers
and property between ports of
the United States and between
the United States and foreign
countries, land to determine and
describe just and reasonable
rates or charges to be demanded
or collected for transportation
of passengers and property in
such trade and just, fair and
reasonable classifications, regu-
lations or practices to be follow
ed with regard thereto"
1t is provided, however, that
the board may prescribe prefer
entail rates, if, in it's judgment,
such rates are necessary in or
der to effectually carry out the
purposes of the act. The board
also may prescribe through
route when property is trans
ported from a point in the Unit
ed States to foreign countries OF
| territories or possessions of the
United States, the transporta-
ton being by United States rail
roads and vessels under Ameri-
can registry or enrolment.
The board also is empowered
to prescribe just and reasonable
rail and water rates and joint
| rates. 1t may even prescribe
such rates for specific sailing
and, when deemed necessary
may fix preferential joint rail
and water rates.
If railroads and vessels fail to
agree on apportionment of joint
rail and water rates, the board,
after a hearing, may prescribe
the proportion to be received by
I the carriers. In determining
the division the board is requir-
ed to act in conjunction with the
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion.

 The new system is said to be based on "the general dea that only knowledge which is useful to the pos essor is of real value"
 Too long have the methods of the schools been eyered from real life. Any effort to make vital aection between education and living necessity be step in the right direction But there is going be difficulty in deciding just exactly what knowledge will useful to the possessor."
