THE SniPPIW BUI
Measured by the avowed purpose of
the ship subsidy bill, that recently pass
ed the United States Senate by a vote of
38 for and 27 against and is now pend
ing in ths House of Representatives, it is
the most important bill now being con
sidered by Congress. The supporters of
this bill claim that if it becomes a law
the merchant marine of the United States
will son regain its prestige, and grow
to a magnitude commensurate with pui
national size and commercial relations
with the great nations of the earth. '
The bill is not the outcome of a recent
impulse, for the problem of up-building
our relative declination of our merchant
marine has been agitated' by many of our
ablest thinkers for fifty years. While in
all other of our national industries the
United States has made' phenominal
idvd.cement, in building and operating
ocean going ships we have fallen behind
all other nations.
, In 1826 American owned ships sailing
under our flag carried 92 per cent of our
imports and exports which that year
aggregated $144,000,000 a per capita of
$14.93..
In 1 905 our foreign trade, imports and
exports amounted to $2,636,074,737, a
per capita of foreign trade of $21.08 or
a per capita of more than twice what it
was in 1826, while our per capita trade
had mora than doubled in the 79 years
the per cent of that trade carried in our
own ships had fallen to 1 0 per cent leav
ing 90 per cent of our enormous foreign
rade to be carried under the flags, of
other nations. - . .
While we have built many ; ships we
have not kept pace with other maritime
nations. In 1870 the merchant marine
of the United States floated 4.194,740
tons and in 1905 it had grown to 6,456,
593 tons an increase in 36 years of 54
per cent or one and half pet cent per
year.
England in 1870 had a merchant
marine of 7,149,134 tqns afloat and in
1904 she had 16,969,014 tons of ocean
going ships a gain in the 34 years qf
9,819,880 being a rate gain' of 4 per
cent per year.
The World Almanac for 1 906 gives
the tonnage of. the principle ; maritime
countries of Europe in 1904 at 24.230,
259 a gain of 1 1,302,371 over their ton
nage in 1870.
Congress will do a good job if it can
change our dependence on foreign nations
to carry our produce to market and the
things we purchase abroad and reinstate
us on the high seas as .we were in - the
early days of the Republic and keep at
home the $200,000,000 freight money
we are annually paying to foreign ships.'
1906 should not tie allowed to flitter
away without a sewer system for La
Grande.' It is something we must have
and the sooner the better. '
Sugar beets will be grown in the Covo
country this year and they will not be
hauled over in wagons either. . The Cove
will be connected with La Grande in
time to handle this year's beet crop.
Just remember this.
The crowds are going by. Some of
them will finally hear of the wonderful
advantages offered in Union county and
will come, but why be content with the
stragglers when it is possible to get
many. No bettnr investment, can be
made. The return can hardly be believed
when they are even conservatively esti
mated. Again the last legislature passed
a law whereby counties may expend
$1000 annually for advertising purposes.
This should j)ave been brought to the
attention of the county court so we
would now be ready to go out after the
present home seekers. If we do not act
now we should not let this opportunity
pass in the fall when the September
homeseekers rates are again made. '
