America and Merchant Ships

nHE DESIRE of Great Britain to monopolize the
Il seas is a matter of history. In 1889 she entered
en- overseas subaidy with the Cunard line. The report
Of the British tariff commission says that sin effect
Che admiralty contracts constitute n rigid system OF
protection particularly "to the British engineering
and shipbuilding industry" and that Engineering and
shipbuilding derive other considerable advantages
from government subsidies and government man
transport and other contracts given to various British
shipping lines" In 1908 when threatened by German
and American competition, the British government
loaned the Cunard company 100000 for building
the Mauretania and the Lusitania and gave the line n
mail and admiralty subsidy of S1.100,000 for twenty
wears. Britain's colonies have followed suit-for
example, the 100000 subsidy to the Royal Mail, the
exclusively British line from Canada to the West
Indies. James G.. Blaine declared in his celebrated
debate with Gladstone:
at will not escape Mr.. Gladstones keen observa-
ton that British interests in navigation flourish with
less rivalry and have increased in greater proportion
than any ether of the great interests of the United
Kingdom. 1 ask his candid admission that it is the
one interest which England has protected steadily and
determinedly, Xsgardless of consistency and regardless
of expense. Nor will Mr.. Gladstone fail to note that
navigation is TIE weakest of the great interests OF the
United States, because it is one which the national
government has consistently refused to protect"
A year ago when we tried to get a share of the
transport of Egyptian cotton from Alexandria to the
United States we were met with the statement that
this was a British monopoly, and it required aggressive
action before we forced a $3.50 division. Such
monopoly was as effective as any subsidy.
The fight with the Lamport & Holt line for our
share of the South American trade is justified by the
volume of that trade. For example, Argentlna's for
eign trade in 1920 totaled 81, 627, 100000, of which
Is per cent was with the United States; the foreign
trade of Brazil totaled S1,013,oo0 of which "A per
cent was with US; Chile's foreign trade totaled s422,-
100000, about ST per cent of which was with the
United States. Taking our own figures, our total
trade with South America for the fiscal year 1921
was something over a billion dollars, which melted us
a favorable balance of S3s, 900, 900, the first time,
by the way, that we have had a favorable balance in
our trade with that division, and in all probability the
last time if we fail to get behind our Notwithstanding.
And if there is a quarter of the globe in which old
Glory" should be kept flying from the ~mastheads it is
the western seas between North and South America.
British propaganda is ceaselessly at work in this
country to discourage by argument, however specious,
the upbuilding and maintenance of an American mar-
chant marine. If that propaganda succeeds American
ships are booked for Davy Jones' locker and Britain
will lay the rates for delivering our goods with a view
to her own interests in competitive markets.

That Word Capitalistic

"IHoRDS ARE curious things" asserts the Kansas
w City Star. "In time they accumulate shades of
meaning which they lacked at first. They always
show the effect OF bad associates. A word that may
have been perfectly innocent often becomes scaly and
disreputable.
Capitalists" for instance. Trotzky Kisses "cap-
itaistic states until it might be supposed the adjec-
tive stood for something criminal. Capitalism has
been used in connection with greed and trickery of
individuals. But its essential meaning isn't here in
volved.
when the man of the Stone Age had accumulated
enough food so he could take a day off and make him
a stone AK by which he could get food more easily than
with a stick, he was a capitalist. When any of us
save money and invest it in some productive enter
prise, we are capitalists.
Experience demonstrated that we would use IN
all our income and not save any unless we were com
pensated for the sewing. In that way interest arose.
Interest is the wages paid us for the use of what we
save. If it were possible to induce people to save
without paying them for it, then we could do away
with interest. But it isn't So capitalism involves
interest.
Civilization developed through capitalism. An of
us who put money in the savings bank or buy postal
savings stamps or insurance, are capitalists. We
haven't developed a perfect civilization yet. But what
we have developed is all based on saving. on capitaI-
ISM.
can denounce it if that viii make us feel bet
ter, and go and live in Russia. But incidentally
Trotzky would like to get a little of the results of
capitalism for Russia just now"

town OF Mills has become 50 polluted
in a few months When We came here,
a little over 4 year ago. the report

ated on a perfect filter bed and all
we had to dc was TO get n sand ro.nt

good water as they rave any place in

On April IL there appeared an ar
ticle in The Tribune about the water
bonds for the town OF Mills That was
the first inkling I had about anything
being wrong with our web water. II
seems that within a veV Few days our
well water has become so polluted that
our lives are in danger. when II had
been SO good before. When we first
came here Mr. Boyle certainly couldn't
say enough in favor OF the water sup
ply in tho town of Mills. Now they
arc trying to bond the town for $40.

do you taxpayers think OF that.
= Now. Mr.. Boyle said in his address
~ h molting Monday night, May l..
Figures don't lie. but liars do figure"
Now here are some figures for the.
people of Mills: The assessed vaiua-
ton OF the town OF Mills is about $780,
600. The present tax was $I7.s3 per
81 900 valuation. Then for tine town
Of Mills, I am Informed, with an s.
mill tax levy Will make the taxes for
this year SIS on the 81. 900 valuation.
Then with he sinking fund it would
bring taxes up to about S45 per 81, 900.
They also say that our town will in
crease in population. But I cannot see
how it will. as Il families have left in
the past 10 days and mere are re-
ported as going to leave soon. It has
been reported that the Casper water
Is impure If h Casper water is i'm
pure. it Is supplied from the Platte rlv-
er by pump from the pumping station
on the river above Mills. Then how
can h Mills supply be pure when
Il is aiken from a pump station below
the Casper station. since we under
stand that the water will not be puri-
fled by n chemical process.

Just and Reasonable Wages

@hNGERED BY the railroad labor boards accept
n ance of evidence from public organizations in
connection with the wage controversy" says the Chi
cago Tribune B. NJ. Jewell, leader of the railroad
workers, bohed the hearing with representatives of
100000 rail employees. The action, he explains, was
a protest against the policy of the board which a year
ago admitted, as pertinent, evidence on the railroads
ability to pay certain wages, and which now admits
evidence on the shippers ability to pay certain rates.
Congress established the labor board to fix siust
and reasonable wages he says. "The board has no
authority to listen to evidence and to make its deci-
sions on evidence which has nothing to do with what
are Just and reasonable wages"
Such an argument almost leaves us rasping. What
does the man mean? What are Gust and reasonable
ard? Any disinterestad judge or observer or arbi-
TRAITOR in the world, we believe. would declare that ms
tice and reason in the fixing of wages must of neces-
sity take into consideration the ability of the emplover
to pay as well as the capacity of a worker to earn.
1t should be obvious that a railroad with a total in
come of 100000 a month cannot pay out 500, 600
for supplies and 100000 for wages and continue in
business. 1t must provide something on investment.
Ever the worker would admit that If he had bought a
little stock with some of his savings.
"Clearly the only way in which wages could he
maintained would be to increase income by increasing
rates. So Justice and reason must admit evidence ON
rates, despite the Jewell contention. But higher rates
may cut off business and reduce total income. Sc
justice and reason must admit evidence on the ability
of shippers to pay.
what, then, is a Gust and reasonable wage? II
must be a wage which takes into consideration both
the ability Of the railroad to pay and the ability of the
worker to earn. Justice and reason must seek an
equitable division of whatever moneys are available
More than that they cannot hope to do.
There are two ends to the scale of justice. wher
one goes down the other must go up. Mr.. Jewel
