u. S. TO SELL SHIPS
Government to Quit Business as
Soon as Possible.
President to Meet Members of Board
and Take Inventory of Situation
Cost u. S. $4,000, O0O, 900.

Washington, June 14.-The United
States government is going to get out
Of the shipping business just as fast
as possible.
Already having suffered financial
losses that mount high into the mil
lions in the operation of the govern
ment fleet, facing a net loss of nearly
100000 in the liquidation of the
shipping boards affairs, and with the
whole shipping situation prolific
source of criticism in congress, admin
istration leaders have decided that the
best thing to do for the government is
to get out of the business.
This will be the policy laid down by
President Harding himself when he
meets with the shipping board for the
first time to take an inventory of the
situation.
The length of time necessary to get
the government out of the business is
problematical. Some of President
Harding's advisers think it will take
two years, others three.
In any event it is not expected that
the new chairman, Albert D. Lasker
Of Chicago, will serve out his six-year
term.
The manner in which liquidation is
to be accomplished is the problem that
is proving a knotty one.
Hundreds of ships constructed un-
der the stress of war emergency are
tied up at wharves or are riding at
anchor in the ports of the Atlantic and
Pacific.
The steel ships are rusting and the
wooden ones are rotting under disuse.
The guarding and maintenance alone
costs the government nearly $500,000,-
600 yearly.
The ships represent net invest
ment of between $3,O00,O00,OOC and
$4,000,000,O0O. At the present price of
tonnage il would be difficult to realize
more than s750,OOO,OO0 in forced SALE

To Drop Reapportionment plan.

Reapportionment Of congressional
districts will not be attempted at this
session Of the legislature. This de-
cision was reached by the reappor-
tionment committee after Chairman
Claire B. Bird had received tele-
gram from Congressman James A.
Frear, stating it was impossible to
predict what congress would do rela-
tive to increasing its membership.
"We have decided againsts ATTEMPT
ing reapportionment," said Chairman
Bird, because we could not guess
what congress will do. If congress
acts before the session is over, the
committee may undertake to redis-
trict the state" Congressman Frear
wired on behalf of eight members of
the II representing Wisconsin in con-
gress The delegation was not in
favor of immediate action on reappor-
tionment. Efforts to amend the reap
portionment bill on the floor of the SEN
ate by Senator George Czerwinski
failed by vote of 20 to 8, and the bill
was ordered to third reading. The
measure reapportions assembly and
senatorial districts, following the, ten
tative plans announced some time ago.

BONUS BILL is

and Material Changes,
Reported.
FOR ACTUAL FIGHTING men

ooo-WiII Not Cause Any In

Washington, June 15.-Under a new
dtle and with material changes in it's
features as approved by the house
the soldier bonus bill was laid before
the senate for prompt enactment.
Announcement was made by Senator
Penrose, chairman of the finance COM
mittee, that he will move an amend
ment that only actual fighting men
shall participate.
The new bill will be. known as the
McCumber veterans adjusted compen-
sation bill. Calling it the soldiers
bonus bill stamps upon a just and
unQuestiOned national moral obliga-
ton the designation 'gratuity,'" the
report of the subcommittee says in eX-
planning the change in title.
In simple, plain English, the pur-
pose of the BILL" the report states, lis
to give to the soldier who offered his
life with his services a compensation
that will more nearly approach that
of the laborer who remained at home,
secure from danger, and whose COM
pensation increased from 200 to 300
per cent.
Even on this basis the report adj
mits the veterans still will be getting
relatively far less for their risks and
hardships than laborers received in
their absence.
The report expresses the hope that
in time this inequality will be re-
moved. but at present, it says, the de-
pleted state of the nations finances
will not permit.
According to estimates, the cost of
the adjusted compensation will be ST.
sec, 100000, on the basis Of every vet
eran accepting cash, and $5,273,OOO,OOO
if all take the deferred payments,
which run for 20 years. The commit
tee figures that the total cost will not
exceed $780, 100000.
The bill provides that payments be-
gin July 1, 1922. The report says in
the meantime congress and the treas
ury will readjust the governments ifs
cal deficits to meet the increased LA
bilities. The opinion also is expressed
that by reasonable economy the bill
will not cause any increase in taxa

Three States Fight Old Boundaries.

Michigan is threatening to sue Wis
consin to obtain possession Of Hurley,
the richest village" in the world, and
800 square miles of Wisconsin terri
tory. Illinois and Wisconsin are in
dispute over their boundary line. The
upper peninsula of Michigan wants to
secede and form a new state of SUI
the rich peninsula country to herself.
And a mapmaker's error in the year
1855 is responsible for all the trouble,
according to Reuben G. Thwaites, sec
rotary of the State Historical society
of Wisconsin. The mapmaker, man
named Mitchell, made the mistake of
charting the foot of Lake Michigan in
latitude ~ degrees and 20 minutes in
stead of latitude Al degrees and 81
minutes. The error of less than one
degree, according to Mr.. Thwaites, was
responsible for the toledo war; be-
tween Ohio and Michigan, for the
placing of Chicago and it's rich North
shore suburbs in Illinois instead OF
Wisconsin, the annexation of the up
per peninsula to Michigan, and all the
boundary disputes that have grown
out of these events. Subsequent map
makers and surveyors who followed In
Mitchells footsteps made one or two
other mistakes, which contributed to
the general confusion When the con-
gress Of the thirteen states, in session
at Philadelphia, July 10, 1887, adopted
an ordinance for the government of
the Northwest territory, embracing the
present states of Ohio, Indiana, Iii
nois and Michigan. Mitchell's map was
used as a guide. The ordinance pro-
vided that two of the five states should
lie north of an east and west line
drawn through the southern bend or
extreme Of Lake Michigan" The pre-
amble Of the ordinance stated that its
articles should forever remain I'M
alterable unless by common consent"

NO PASSPORTS FOR CANADA
Americans Intending to Visit the Do
nninion Do Not Need to Secure Pass
ports From State Department.

Washington, June 15.-The State
Department is having a large number
of applications for passports to Can
ada, the demand having been created
evidently by rumor to the effect that
passports were necessary for those
wishing to visit any of the Canadian
provinces. Such rumor was without
any foundation in fact, and any Ameri-
can wishing to visit Canada for pleas
ure or any other reason will find no
need for anything in the way of official
papers. Canada is the only foreign
nation for which it is not necessary
for Americans to secure passports.

Rate EIGHT Up 10 Congress.

Failure Of the United States Su-
preme court to hand down a decision
in the Wisconsin test case to decide
whether or not the interstate com
MERGE commission has power to regu-
late railroad rates within the state
means that the point cannot be set
tied before October 10, the next de-
cision day. Immediately it became
known that the Supreme court had
failed to act according to Washington
dispatches, a movement was started
by Wisconsin and the states which
supported her to have congress pass
law clearly defining the matter.
While no direct action was taken by
the Wisconsin railroad commission.
according to Chairman Carl Jackson,
the state board is a member of the as
ISOLATION of railroad commissions
eral board to fix interstate rates. It's
committee in Washington would have
authority to take the matter up with
congress, said Mr.. Jackson, or one of
the senators from the states involved
might act. The first gun in the re
newed fight in congress was fired when
Representative Sweet, Iowa, intro
duced a bill repeating the section of
the Esch-Cummins transportation
act which gives the interstate com
merce commission power to fix rates
high enough to give railroads a 51a
per cent return on the investment.
The measure also would take from
the federal board power to regulate
intrastate rates and return it to the
state authorities.
