The Fowler case in the county
court last week to take the two
Pugsly girls from their mother
and to place them in the home
for friendless children is an ad-
monition of the fact that too
much care cannot be taken in
making the state which means
the county, a party to such cases.
1t is somewhat of an outrage on
the county to have to pay the
costs of a case where the par
ties bringing the charges are not
able to prodnce a particle of evil
dence.

would be inclined to limit the
discussion to residents of Baca

wants to take part in the affairs
uf the county, it should move its

Congressman Keating'S Letter

resentative last week set high
record for constructive legisla.
tion.
In six days the house passed a
rural credits bill which will save
farmers of this country tens of
millions in interest charges, and
a shipping bill which will restore
the American flag to the seas,
from which it was driven by the
stupid tariff and maritime legis-
la'ion of the Republican party.
Probably never before in the
history of this country were two
measures OF such widespread
Importance put through the
House between Monday morning
and Saturday night.
Wilson's Shipping Bill
The shipping bill is regarded
as one Of the big items on the
administra 5ion's program. 1t
provides for the investment of
$50, ,000,O 900 OF government funds
in merchant ships which may be
used in the trade with South A.
merica and other countries times
of peace and as naval auxilia ries
in times of vvat. President
Wilson urged the measure in the
last Congress but the Republican
majority In tbe senate, aided by
a handful of democratic sena-
tors. talked it to death.
At that time there was a great
NUN ber of fine vessels on the
market which could have been
purchased at Bargain-counter
prices. 1t is estimated that if
the President had been given his
way, the government would have
more than doubled its money be
cause of the increase in value of
the ships, besides forcing a re-
duction in the outrageous trans
oceanic freight rates.
Thanks to the activities of Re-
publican Senators these millions
of profits instead of going to the
national treasury have been de.
posted in the strong boxes Of
the shipping trust.
Prior to tie Civil War, the
Stars and Stripes were seen in
every port in the world. Today,
after Gfty years of Republican
lule, practically all American
trade is carried in foreign bot
toms.
Supported by a Republican
No wonder Congressman Mil
er, one of the Republic IN mem
bers from Pennsylvania, said
during the debate on the
shipping bill:
This is great business
proposition which every man
who has any products to ship to
foreign countries, every manu-
facturer who wishes to ship his
products to foreign countries,
is interested in. We have prac-
ticalIy no merchant marine, and
when the people of the United
States heretofore wanted to ship
their products to South America
they had to ship by way of Lon
don or liverpool in English bot
toms, because we had no Ameri-
can bottoms in which to ship
them. | therefore will vote for
this bill when it comes to final
passage. Personally, | would
prefer subsidy; but that is i'm
possible. This house will not
vote for a subsidy. Past Repub
lican Congress have tried il time
ard again, but never could get
enough Repu blican votes to pass
Il subsidy, and the result is that
we have no merchant marine and
all our products shipped by sea
arc carried by German, English
and French bp' toms. | want t.
see the american flag float over
our shipping as it did 80 60 20
years ago. it will never ONE
by private enterprise, because
there is not enough profit in 1t
to encourage private Enterprise. "
