RAIDING THE TREASURY

Before passing the ship subsidy bill
the house amended it in several IN
important particulars. An amendment
that should have been adopted. and
was not, was one striking out the en-
acting clause.
Attempt is being made to obtain
the enactment of this bill regardless
OF the fact that the whole principle
OF ship subsidy was repudiated by
the voters on November =. when
Brookhart, Howell. Frazier. La Fol-
lette. -Ashhurst. Ralston, Ferris. Ship
stead. Wheeler. Mcclellan. King. and
Kendrick were elected.
A study of the terms of the ship
ping bill reveals a colossal raid upon
the public treasury The bill pro-
vides that merchant ships which have
cost the Taxpayers three and one-haIf
billion dollars to build are not only
to be given away>at panic prices. but
the big ship owners are actually to be
paid for taking them.
The subsidy bill provides that the
shipping board be given $125. 900. 900
from the treasury to be loaned out by
it at per cent to the ship owners
for fitting out and constructing ships
The government is now borrowing
money at 4 4 per cent. so that this
generous . per cent loan to the big
shippers viii cost the taxpayers an
additional s3.125.OOO annually.
The provisions OF the bill indicate
that IT is drafted from first to last
in the interests of the big ship own
ers, while the lesser ones get only
few crumbs. For instance, the smaller
vessels get subsidy OF but u cent per
gross ton for each one hundred miles
travelled, while the big ocean grey
hounds receive rs cents per gross ton
for the same distance. As if this IA
vor were not enough. the bill pro-
vides that all ships from 1900 to 5000
tons shall be Jumped together. and
the subsidy paid as if they were all
OF 5000 tons registry. Here again the
big shippers not only get all that IS
coming to them. but even as much as
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1922-12-02

three times what is coming to them on
vessels larger than fifteen hundred
tons.
This direct compensation is to go
on until the ship owners make a net
operating income of more than 10
per cent a year on their actual invest
ment. Even the railroads ask only a
per cent guarantee But the ship
owners subsidy Is to continue even
beyond the 10 per cent with the pro-
vision that they shall go halves with
the government on the excess profits.
How much there will be left for the
government after big salaries and 9TH
er padded expenses are paid is amply
indicated by similar contracts with
the railroads and the federal reserve
banks.

Making an Art of Living.
Perhaps 1 am old fashioned, but

SEX" continued the woman, "and that
it is pity that more women who
are really gifted cannot see that just
living can be made as much of fine
art as writing, or music, or dancing
or acting, and that its benefits to the
world are just as great.
I'VE need beauty and grace Just as
much as we need toll and struggle,
and if God had not intended US to have
one as much as the other, he would
not have made lilies, as well as cab
bages and potatoes. Both Sevres
vases and iron pots are necessary in
comfortable and complete household.

Just little more. I wish that they
could realize that the woman who is
an ornament to life, who makes her
home beautiful, and her home life
charming, who keeps her husband in

and who is the sun which radiates
social circle, has made the best pos
sible use of her talents.
She has done a bigger and a finer
thing than If she was frumpy author

woman IS that she thinks she must
capitalize every particle of ability she

home consumption. She doesn't feel
that she should feed her family and
friends on nectar and ambrosia.
Corned beef is good enough for them.
So the woman of talent is career mad,
and considers that she is simply throw
ing her gifts away if she bestows them
on her intimate circle.
81 think that this is the most pitt
full mistake that women make, and
that the saddest thing on earth is that
they do not realize the importance of
making a beautiful, and happy, and
cheerful home-the sort of a home
that husband and children think of
as the most attractive place on earth,
and that is an oasis in the desert to
every stranger who tastes its blessed
hospitality. Nothing else that a wo-
man can ever do, does as much good
as such home. No other influence

''And to make a home like that

Almighty ever endowed any woman.

hard edges of existence, that I hold

must last him two years, his overcoat
four years, and his raincoat six years,
and the wife's clothes must be SINH
larly durable, but for the eleven-year-
old boy the only things that are ex-
pected to last over the year are his
overcoat, sweater and belt.
The minimum housing standard for
family OF five has been taken as a
house or apartment of four rooms
with bath and running water, altho
it is stated that such a family should
really have five rooms. Fuel and light
needs are estimated on the basis of
actual expenditures of families of that
size living in such a house.
All the items in the budget cannot
be enumerated here, but it may be
said that it includes everything down
to the number of cakes of soap nee
essary for personal cleanliness and the
family washing and even specifies 500
as the number of street car fares that
would be used in the course of the
year.
The cost of such a budget, as has
been pointed out, will vary from time
to time, and from city to city. but it
does seem that the experts have done
much toward determining how much
it takes to live, even If they are not
in agreement as to how much it costs.

BY EDGAR a. GUEST,


There isn't any pay for you, you serve
without reward
The boys who tramp the fields with you
but little could afford,
And vet your pay is richer far than men
who toll for gold,
For in a dozen different ways your service
shall be told.
You'll read it in the faces OF troop of
growing boys,
You'll read it in the pleasure Of a dozen
And down the distant future-you will
surely read it then,
Emblazoned thru the service Of band Of
loyal men
Five years Of willing labor and Of brother
ing 4 troop,
Five years of trudging highways, with
the Indian cry and whoop,
Five years of camp fires burning, not
alone for pleasures sake.
But the future generation which these
boys are soon to make.
They have no gold to give you, but when
age comes on TO you
They'll give you back the splendid things
you taught them how to do,
They'll give you rich contentment and a
thrill of honest pride
And you'll see your nation prosper, and
you'll all be satisfied

HEART AND HOME PROBLEMS

BY ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson. I am in love
with two girls; both are blondes. I
have been engaged to one of them for
two years and cannot decide whether
want to marry her or not. Recently
I met another gill whom I am just
wild about. VIII it be wrong for me
to break IF my engagement with the
first girl and ask the second one to
marry me? BRUNETTE.
You have certainly managed to get
your love affairs in a mess. Haste
and lack of thought are your trouble.
Tell the first girl the truth-that you
have found some one you love more
dearly than you do her, and ask her
to release you. Do not become en-
gagged again without first weighing
the matter. Take your time and be
sure that your affections are deep
enough to last and warrant marriage.
Unless you are more cautious you
will not learn by your first experience,
but will again find yourself engaged TO
one girl and in love with another.
An engagement is serious matter

YOUR BREAKWATER.

The sea is a book of philosophy, in
dimensions so deep and wide that our
little frames standing at its edge must
appear infinitesima1 indeed.
The other day I stood with q friend
and watched the sea lap its tongue
against the shore.
Out a little way were boats sitting in
apparent calm, undisturbed by this
mad flashing of waves against the
breakwater.
How good for those ships that these
waters had an outlet for their wrath
and frenzied vitality.
had breakwaters. If we used them
tc right purpose, our mental and spir-
itual lives would sit as calm as those
boats-just little off shore.
Your breakwater may be your calm
and collected attitude of mind toward
your work and life itself. Not worry
ing-not getting all fused up" over
the tiniest trifles, but riding serene
while your breakwaters scatter the
force and destroying power of the ele-
ments in your nature that could, un-
der other conditions, break your poise
and weaken your strongest points
There are breakwaters that in time
wash away, so that new ones must be
built. During great storms, especially.
are they made to appear as tho made
of the flimsiest material. But how
inspiring when you see these break
waters made by the God Of Nature
Himself! Towering rocks that merely
kiss the maddest seas.
The man or woman standing in the
middle of the deepest sorrow or ad-
versity-you know right off that their
breakwaterS are as the rocks that
picket the shores of the ocean in so
many places.
Storms must come to us all. But
If we are properly breakwatered, we
are going to ride safe until calm has
again been restored.

orders have exceeded production by a
