Protecting the Public
The Task Of Congress to Make Steamboat Inspectors
Inspect
BY ALEXANDER SMITH
Edbor Marine O
for the s..

Unquestionably the reorganization
of the United States steamboat In
spection service will engage the seri.
Gus attention Of congress at the COM
ing session. The better protection OF
life and property entrusted to vessels
is found necessary, as result of the
Lastland disaster at Chicago, July "a.
Federal inspectors look after life say
ing appliances carefully, and examine
eng ines an boilers, and their appurt-
enances thoroughly; but in matters OF
design, in the vital matter OF stability
of vessels being able to stand up
under strain and stress-and, to an ex-
tent, in matters of construction, 1t has
been the custom of inspectors, says
Secretary of Commerce Redfield, TO
lead them to the builders
He proposes to have this essential
detail corrected by having board OF
naval architects pass upon design OF
steam vessels over 100 tons. the YES
sells not to be used until approved by
the board, but with appeal to higher
authority" from the boards decisions.
There must be rules adopted by the
government governing the constru.-
ton e.f vessels, so that designers may
bull | them within the law. Private
interests heretofore have formulated
such rules, and in most countries own
ers and builders control the associa-
lions and corporations whose rules
govern construction. In the United
States, underwriters control the only
association that formulates rules for
the government of ship construction,
upon which the classification and
rating Of ships are based, and which
form the basis Of insurance Of hulls
and cargoes. The rules in the case
of the American bureau are not avail
ed of to any large extent, and, 1t is
believed, because the factor of safe
tv" is so high. Owners desire vessels
built with the maximum of carrying
capacity and the minimum Of cost,
and they know that every ton Of
weight Of material added to the
Strengthening of ships in their con-
struction eliminates a ton OF carrying
capacity during the life Of the ships.
Hence their tendency to build too

INCREASE in FARM VALUES.

s. When one hears of men getting
lch quickly through great increases
n the value OF farm land, it is but
4atural to assoc iate such stories with
lew lands, places where settlers rush
81 and the price of property begins
y boom. There are numerous states
the United States that have for
,me years past been bending every
1T toward attracting settlers, tell
hem about how irrigation, or this,
or 'tother thing was making the
I'D jump In prices. Those who
bought early were pictured as having
gotten in on the ground floor and as
&ured their fortunes.

described above. Iowa is not attempt

close to the danger point, to build
vessels lightly instead Of strongly. The
governments interest is the same as
the underwriters interest-for safety's
sake each desires that the vessels
shall be strongly, and not lightly, built.
So long as local inspectors of steam
vessels are required to sign certi-
hcates of inspection Of steam vessels,
swearing that they inspected them and
found them sea-worthy and safe, when,
in fact, they did not inspect them at
all, there will be serious impairment
of the efficiency of the steamboat in
spection service. Assistant inspectors
are appointed because local inspectors
are absorbed with important office de-
tails. After the assistants file their
reports the certificates of inspection,
guaranteeing the vessels safety, are
issued, the local inspectors swearing
that they inspected the vessel and re-
citing the condition she was found In,
the completeness of her equipment
and appurtenances.
When accidents happen to steam
vessels, the local inspectors summon
the officers of the ships involved be-
fore them and examine them regard
ing the matters, and if as result OF
such examinations they believe that
this or that officer, or these or those
officers are blame-worthy. then they
hold an investigation. In this case
the local inspectors are prosecutors
Judges. juries and executioners. They
have prejudged the case in advance OF
investigating II. This is all wrong;
1t should be remedied. The inspectors
who formulate the charges against
