JEFFERSON AVE Main 37
The biB granting subsidies to American
ships engaged in our foreign trade passed
the senate last Wednesday by a vote of
38 to 27. The whole 38 affirmative
votes were cast by Republican senators
22 Democratic senators and five Repub
Bcana voted against the bill. Falton
Republican of Oregon voted for the buX
and Geann. Democrat, voted against the
biO. . .. .
Th kU astaobshed IS new contract
rail Bnes from the United States and in
creases tha present financial aid. sub
vention, to son of the present American
owned ships carrying oar foreign mails.
It also grants a subvention of 55 per
gross tm per year to Anericaa owned
and operated ocean going ships engaged
in fareig.i commerce between the United
Stalls a.wl countries of other national! ties
. A i J.50 per gross ton yearly to Ameri
can ships engaged in the PhiGpoin trade.
Just what this law win cost when in
operation can only be estimated at this
t ne. In 1903 thmrm were American
ships engaged in our foreign trade with
sn aggregate gross tonnage of 879.254
mcn in that yar carried ten per cant cf
our foreign trade. To carry aS of our
exports to and imports from foreign
CMuHries wou.'d raqure 8.732.640 gross
tons of ocean gong ships. The subven
tion of $5 per gross ton on aH these
would call on the United States Treasury
for J-tJ. 963.2 00 yearly. Senator 'Fry
in his speech in the seriate before the
final vote was taken last Wednesday,
stated that we are now paying foreign
ship owners as freight on our foreign
trade $200,000,000 yearly. Taking hm
Egures as approximately correct after
we have paid $5 per grass ton to enough
ships to carry our whole foreign trade
the saving to the people of the United
States will be Dearly $160,000,000
yearly.
We have not now enough American
ships to carry our foreign trade, m 1 903
we bad 879.264 tons in our foreign trade
and 5.141.037 tons in our coast wise
trade, and one very desirable affect
the subsidy buX. should ft become a b
will be the building of many ocean going
ships in the United States thus giving
employment to American laborers
Americas ship yards.
Maurice 0. Eldridge, actire director of
pubfic road inquiries United States de
partment of agriculture m Farmers
Buuetn No. 95 writes, "Doubtless the
of "New Jersey is biiHcUrg more
roads and better roads for less money
per mils than, any other state in the
Union. Their roads are now costing
from 20 to 70 cents per square yard."
The average cost of all classes of roads
of that state during last season, 1 300.
was 60 cents per square yard."
There will certainty be things dceng in
Union county this year. With the pros
pects gcod for a railroad from this city
to the Cove, a new bank, and a large
sawmill and several new business blocks.
the outlook is certainty bright.
