Per cent shall automatically revert TO the ship
fund Moreover, the protective tariff bill and the
ship subsidy bill are intimately associated with
eac bother. One is for the purpose of protecting
manufacturing and farming industries, the other
Is TO protect the shipping industry. IL is desired to
round ont the system and remedy the condition de
scribed by James G. Blaine in 1890, when he said:
shipping is the one industry which the United
pressed in a phrase the anomaly OF British protec-
ton TO ships, although then a free trade nation. and
OF American indifference to the shipping industry,
although a protective nation.
The country has had trouble enough since 1909
because Of its fluctuating tariff policy, which has
demoralized business to the point of driving many
factories out of the country. The necessity Of set
Ting down to something resembling a permanent
tariff policy is so we'll recognized that the south
itself has grown to appreciate 1t and is coming
into the protective fold. Few capitalists could be
found to take up shipping enterprises IL they knew
that the subsidy fund would have to be fought over
every year. The fact that this question forms the
prize objection of the Democrats to the ship sub
sidy bill indicates the weakness of their stand.
, 1922-07-11
Objections Not We'll Founded

OPPONENTS of the ship subsidy bill point out as
" one of their major objections to that measure the
clause which stipulates that the funds-ten per cent
of the customs receipts, all of the port charges and
postal receipts "are hereby permanently appropri-
ated." The Democrats declare that this means
shat the subsidy will be a continuing grant of gov
ernment funds" or as some of them express it, "a
subsidy in perpetuity.'
A subsidy in perpetuity is a large order, but that
a continuing grant is proposed is probable and
reasonable. 1t would be a fine kettle of fish if con-
gress had to fight over once a year the question OF
d~evoting ten per cent of the customs duties etc,
to the ship subsidy fund. The Republicans have
had experience with the Democrats in that pare
lar notably the tariff board provided for in the
Payne-Aldrich law. About $250,000 was set aside
for that organization yearly, and the second year
of its existence witnessed the Fitzgerald filibuster
in the house against the appropriation, brought on
in the closing days of the short session of congress
The result was that the board went out of existence
after being villified and condemned by every Demo
crat in congress. Two years after those same Demo
Gratis heard the crack of the Wilson whip and voted
into existence the tariff commission, which was
quickly organized by the president on the basis oil
three Wilson Democrats and two Wilsonians.
The permanent appropriation of customs duties
to the ship subsidy fund. is a safe and sane idea
Instead of the total receipts from tariff, etc, being
covered into the treasury and then an annual
squabie TO break off ten per cent of the receipts tt
aid the ship business, the bill proposes that this tr

"of giving play to talent and aspiration and to the
development of mental and spiritual powers In
these words he recalled educators from excessive

the entire job. If education needs anything more
than another just now, it is a sense OF proportion.

Striking Against The People

MAKING OF RATES, settling of wage differences
III and even grouping railroad lines is made a
function of the federal government under the
Transportation Act of 1920, known as the Esch-
Cummins act.
A strike against the government in a Democracy
is. by every line of reasoning, a strike against the
public and its paramount interests.
Railway strikes now are directly against the
orders or findings OF the government represented by
the Railroad Labor Board.
They are strikes against conditions for which
the corporations are not responsible and which
they are helpless to correct.
A strike Of railway employees, successful or I'M
successful, must be paid for by the public, which
bears all the expense and all the Inconvenience.
These are the fundamentals underlying the strike
The Railroad Labor Board, a governmental
agency on which the public has equal representa-
ton with the railroads and the employees. is en-
powered by the Transportation Act to hear and
decide disputes between the railroads and their
employees over wage scales and working conditions.
In this particular it determines Just and reason
able wages for the various classes of employees in
the light of existing conditions.
This board spent months in hearing from man
ayers of railroads and employees of railroads as to
what would constitute "just and reasonable" wages
under conditions at present governing opcrationsof
transportation lines.
Decisions were handed down by the board cutting
the rates of pay of several classes of employees var
ious amounts. These decisions have been signed
by all the publics representatives on the board.
1t is clear that any strike action taken must
be against rulings made by a governmental agency
and concurred in by representatives o fthe public.
The strike is called against the wage reduction
orders of the labor board.
The government, representing the public decreed,
after a thorough investigation, that the wages OF
n few classes of railway employees should he slight
" reduced because of the decrease in the cost of
living and in the wages paid for comparable work
in other. industries
The leaders of the strike movement called for n
vote to reject the governments rulings and to strike
in protest. This all having been accomplished the
action comes against the public, the innocent by
srander in the case.

What Roosevelt Said

COLONEL ROOSEVELT in his lifetime had deal
" ings with railway controversies and in the pres.
emit situation it is well to turn back and quote from
his expressed views: 4,
at must be a cardinal principle in dealing with
honestly built and wisely managed railways that
the investor, the shareholder, is just as much en-
titled TO protection as is the wage-worker, the ship
per, or the representatives of the general public.
Unless the investor finds that he is TO get a fair
return on his money, he will not invest, and in such
case not only will no new railways be built but ex-
listing railways will not be able to repair the waste
the wear and tear to which they are subject, and
will not be able to make needed improvements.
"The public can be well served, and the wage
workers. can be well paid, only if the railway is
successful, that is, if there is such certainty of rea-
sonable dividends as to make investors content, and
therefore willing and DESTROYS to invest in further
developments and enterprises.
"Another way to destroy is to impose burdens,
however necessary and proper, without facing The
fact that some one must pay for the burdens, and
that il the investor cannot pay for them and at
the same time get a reasonable return on his in
vestment, then either the business will close or the
public must share the burden with the INVESTOR

Slight Margin of Profit

pUBLIC UTILITIES never make the profit cred
4 tied to them by the public. Oftentimes have hard
scratching to show a profit at AL. For instance one
of the large transportation companies carrying in
terurban traffic across San Francisco bay, mace
last year a net profit of one-half mill per passenger
out of the eighteen cent fare charged.
In other words, after paying operating expenses,
including wages. depreciation and bond interest,
the company had to haul twenty people in order to
make one cent which might be applied toward div.
idends.
On the package of gum which it sells from the
news stands of its ferry boats, it secures as much
profit as it docs from transporting fifty people
from four to ten miles by rail and water.
Few industries operate on as narrow a margin
of profit as do public utilities. Few industries pay
as great a percentage of their gross earnings for la.
Dor and taxes, as do public utilities.
Few Industries in order to tecure business, do the
pioneering work which falls to the lot of the public
utilities.
No industry requires more efficient management
inorder to earn dividends than do public utilities
whose earnings are limited by law and whose sue.

IL times as many divorces granted in
1916 as in 1867. or, allowing for the
increased population. divorce had in
creased AIS per cent. To put 1t in
another way. in 1867 there was one
divorce for every 3,666 people. while
in 1916 there was one for every ss5
people.
A comparison OF our divorce stats
tics with those of Japan shows that
In Japan the number decreased from
2se per 100000 to 100, nearly zoe per
cent, In the last 80 years. whereas in
the United States the number in
creased in so years from 81 to III per
100000. Of moro than 400 per cent.
This is certainly a very favorable
comparison TO Japan and one of which
tho United States can well be
ashamed.

rate in the future as in tho past-and
there is every indication that they
will increase faster-then before the
