Local yachtmen have been speculat-

fnal vote in Cong ess this week. All
are enthusiastic over the success which
followed the protests OF yachtmen in
the elimination OF the Objectionable
gross Tonnage basis OF taxation and The
substitution Of the net tonnage. But
that Is not all. Another protest, though
not so universally important 10 all OF
the yaehhnen, is that planned against
new construction.
While the legislators In Washington
adopted this tax Of 10 per cent. on all
new craft, a virtually prohlbtiye ag-
ure. with the joint idea OF raising rev.
enue and decreasing competition
against the government In Its ship con-
structlon program, yachtmen claim
that neither OF these results IL gained
by the tax. but much harm Is done.
1t Is a tax on patriotism" Is the
way some OF the more prominent boat
owners term the provision. Immediate
ly upon the outbreak OF the war The
yachtmen came forward and offered
their boats 10 the government for pa
trolboat or other service, with the
agreement that upon the close OF hos
tilities they would be returned 10 as
good condition as when they entered
the service. Nearly two years OF hard
and steady use has had a great effect
upon many OF the boats. For The pacht-
men 10 prove their damage 10 the gov
ernment would be lengthy Job, II not
impossible.
At any rate many yachtmen. who
turned over lrst-class boats 10 the gov
ernment In the emergency, are recelv-
Ing worn-out boats, the same ones to
be sure, in return. They are not OBJ
lecting. willingly doing that much for
the cause. But the emergency past
they feel that in replacing boats virtu-
ally given 20 the navy, a prob lbltlve
tax should not be saddled upon them.
And then comes the appeal from the
small boat and engine builders, who
claim that their business Is being de-
stroyed and men thrown out Of work.
u Is claimed that over $4,000 worth
of contracts have been cancelled In New
York city in the past two weeks due
10 the inclusion OF this tax clause.
Yachtmen are paying tribute 10 C. II.
