betrayal of the trust we assumed when
we took them over from Spain. The
President not only reversed himself
on this proposition. but sought to drive
his party into submission to his Will
through the caucus. Thirty members
OF the House refused to abide by the
caucus action. and maintained their
independent stand. and voting with the
solid Republican minority defeated the
Senate measure which proposed ex-
tending independence to the Philip
pines within four years. II was a dis
tinct defeat for the administration,
which made a strong fight for the bill.

THE SECOND DISTRICT

The Democrats OF the Second Con
gressional district are calling to their
aid their best orators in the state and
the most attractive talent outside, IN
the hope OF making a respectable
showing In the special election to b.
held next Tuesday. when a successor
10 the late Congressman Brown will
be chosen. From all The Intelngencer
hears OF the situation the prospects
are for the election of the Republican
nominee, the Hon. George NJ. Bowers.
OF Berkeley county Conditions that
obtained in 1914 are no longer preva-
lent. The Republican party has been
reunited and a harmonious spirit pre-
walls throughout the entire district.
II an approximately full vote is polIed
there will be no doubt OF the result.
As the Republican candidate is an
old campaigner and an accomplished
organizer 1t is presumed he will see
10 II that the vote comes out.
10 Is well known that Mr.. Browns
successive elections were due solely
TO the division IN the Republican ranks.
That division has been happily healed.
and II is not likely that the Democrats
are any stronger than they were two
years ago. il a. strong. In 1914 Mr..
Brown received 20.6j9 votes: Bowers
ls.3O9, and Keim. the Progressive can
didate. LIS, which shows combined
Republican majority Of Sos over the
Democratic nominee. But that was
much less than the real Republican
strength Of the district. as Mr.. Brown
had elements OF personal popularity
that attracted many Republican votes
which will not be cast for the present
Democratic candidate. Another thing
that will Increase the Republican vote
this year Is the alienation OF the
farmer vote through the refusal OF the
Democratic nominating convention TO
recognize the importance Of rural
credits legislation now pending in Con
gress. But above and beyond all other
considerations the second district
should be represented b. a Republican
because b. is in interests and senti.
ment fundamentally Republican.

Government REGULATION OF OCEAN CARRIER,
New Legislation Proposes Cooperation. Not compet,ion
BY EMORY R. JOHNSON PhD SGD
Professor Of Transportation and Commerce. University
of Pennsylvania

The committee on the merchant
marine and fisheries OF the house
OF Representatives is now putting
INTO final shape a bill providing
Tor the regulation OF ocean car
rlers. The measure will have the
active support OF the administra-
uon and Is expected TO pass the
house. The hnal success or de-
feat OF the bill will depend upon
the attitude OF the senate and upon
the complications in international
or domestic affairs that may in
tertere with the administration
legislative program.
The history of the bill began
more than three years ago with
the investigation of the ocean
shipping business by the house
committee. In 1914. at the con-
clusion of this investigation, the
committee introduced a bill legal
lzing steamship conferences. re-
curing publicity OF conference"
agreements. and giving TO an en-
iarged Interstate Commerce COM
mission the power of regulating
the ocean transportation business.
The outbreak OF the European
war in August. 1914. prevented
consideration of this bill and gave
an unexpected turn to legislation
on maritime questions. The ad-
mnistration gave its support to a
Dill providing for the government
purchase and operation OF ocean
vessels through the agency OF
shipping board. but the bill was
defeated by the senate in Febru-
airy. 1915.
Shortly after the opening Of the
present session OF congress the
administrations ship purchase

was reintroduced in the house OF
representatives. Two sections
were included that conferred upon
the proposed shipping board the
broad powers over carriers by
water that the Interstate Com
merce commission has over car
riers by rail. This bill met with
much opposition.
The measure now about to be
introduced and pressed for pas
sage through the house and sen
ate Will put five year limit upon
the government purchase of ships
and will provide for the regula-
ton or ocean carriers. not by con-
ferring upon the shipping board

be filed with the board. which shall
approve or disapprove the agree
ments. The board is given full
powers OF investigation. and IL
rates are found TO be unreason-
ably high or unjustly discriminat-
ory. the board may nix reasonable
maximum charges for particular
services. The act does not re-
quire ocean carriers to publish
and file their rates. nor does II
prevent the carriers from making
changes in their rates as frequent
~ as the varying relations of
freight offered and available ship
tonnage may require. The ship
ping board is TO consist OF i've
men. three OF whom shall be ap-
pointed by the President and con
hrmed by the senate. The other
two members OF the board are TO
be the secretary of the navy and
the secretary OF commerce.
The proposed legislation Is based
upon principles that have not
hitherto prevailed in the laws of
the United States in the regula-
ton OF carriers, whether by rail
or by water. In the past the gener-
ally accepted theory has been that
the public interest required that
whether by rail or by water. be
enforced by law. and that the CO.
operation as well as combination
OF civil carriers be prohibited.
In spite OF the theory of legisla-
ton that has been adhered TO,
steamship companies now engag-
edgaged in the coastwise and for
eign trade of the United States
are practically all members of
ocean conferences. Moreover. il
Is probable that law prohibiting
these conferences would be as inn
practicable as IL would be inadvis-
able. IL Is necessary in the inter
ests Of the public as well az of the
carriers that interline competition
be regulated. but at the present
time regulation is by means OF
secret agreements entered into by
carriers through conference or
CARNATIONS. Ocean carriers en-.
gagged in the domestic and foreign
trade OF the United States are
carrying on a business of a public
nature by secret methods This is
wrong in principle. The agree
ments of carriers should be sub
1ect 10 the fullest measure OF pub
Lefty. and the rates. practices and
services OF those engaged in ocean
transportation should be subject
to appropriate regulation by the
federal government.
Under present conditions the
transportation field can be largely
preempted by the conference lines
and the door OF opportunity can
be closed To the independent car
rler seeking 10 build up n profit
able business. II Is necessary. by
means OF government regulation.
To keep the ocean transportation
field open 20 all carriers on like
terms. Otherwise the United
States will not make much perma-
nent progress in the development
Of its merchant marine.

He asserted il time and time again on
the floor of the House Then he SAYS
that the great trouble with the war
was that 1t shut off a vast amount OF
tariff revenue
But the war is not altogether TO
blame for that. nor can the amount
be called vast In his annual report
for 1914 the Secretary of the Treasury
estimated a revenue OF 1920. 900 .us1
from customs. for the fiscal year 1913.
and We collected S2Os 600. 600. The
volume OF imports now coming into The
country is the greatest in our history.
but they are mainly duty-free goods.
Even Mr.. Redneld admits that The
decrease in customs Is due TO the in.
creased amount OF products which
come in without paying revenue to the
