MERCHANT MARINE ACT

Pointing out that other countries

subsidies and that their vessels oper-
ate at lower cost than American
ships, r. NJ. Semmes, traffic adviser
OF the Alaska Territorial Shipping
board, has issued statement de-
Tending the new Jones Merchant
Marine act in general and section IS
in particular. This section provides
that the preferential import and ex-
port rail rates shall apply only to
freight carried in American bottoms.
Foreign countries had carried the
commerce of this country SO long
when the U. S. had no vessels that
these countries had come to look up
on this traffic as their own--not on

CAUSE BANKRUPTCY

A deficit of s16.732,OOO was
created by losses from flu for one
cooperative insurance company in
four western states.
This is being met by increased
assessments upon the members and
IS, 100000 Is being raised BY higher
rates.
This company had 1.0s4.131 pol
icy holders and they are paying over
six dollars per capita extra TO meet
FLU losses.
That Is but small part Of what
would have been paid b. the four
states under . system OF general
health Insurance by the state.
Az a private business. health IN
surance Is legitimate and those pay
the bill who get the benefits.
But under the operation OF state
insurance It falls on the general tax
payers wheather he Is benefited or
not.
The two flu epidemics would have
bankrupted western states under
state Insurance.

OF their service in the army We hear
a great deal OF talk Of the debt we

mainly those OF circuml0cution, inter
