of some general disease such as mea-
sles. meningitis. or scarlet fever. Ac-
cidents accounted for 5.9l3 cases or
l6,s per cent of the total There were
l.42g persons in this number whose
blindness was caused by explosives or

of the students then attending who

COST OF THE SHIP SUBSIDY

rE Gager the senate of the 58th set
forth that all nations of the world paid out ntota sub
Ventions in year but $27670160 This included S19
904778 for carrying the mails and only $765382 in general
subventons to shipping According to this Ganger report
England the greatest maritime nation paid out only $66269
general maritime subvenons although the the
year paid $4874 243 English ships for the
mails The 1909 report of the commissioner of navigation
Inmates that all the principal maritime nations of the world
paid out total of 224513 in subsidies mail pay bounties
That included everything bountes paid to shpbud

direct subsidy American ships The amount of Lasker sub
sdy is estimated at approximately $34000000 year The
most radical defenders of the aske program declare that the
actual payments will amount to much smaller whereas
the critics of the bill claim will amount to at least $50000000
year. and have gone far claim and with logic
that the bill will cost the treasury about 600 during the
first year it is law.
Compare that amount-$34, ,00O 900 to American ships
