The Bhip subsidy bill has been
. practicilly killed for this session,
at least. Whether- the principle
is right or wrong, the impression
is very general that the pending

it should be scotched if not killed,

Our Re riving Mcrclmnt Marine.
The opening remark of Mr.
Clement A. GrtHCom, President of
tho Society ol Naval Architect
and Marine Engineer,
at the
annual meeting of that body In this
city the other day, and the annual
report of Mr. Eugene T. Cnambor-
ain, commissioner of navigation,
make it char that this country is
on the verge of an enormous devel
nement In .shipbuilding promises
to bo one of our distinctively na
tional industries. Mr. Chamber'
.. . . 4
ain pointed out that the current
ar "will record much the largest
mount of steel shipbuilding in our
history " dtotu presented tigures
showing the rank of this country
iii the wean carrying industry of
the world and indications are of
the reappearance of the American
tlag upon the hijih seas m the ex
tension of trade, Japan, the newest
of the civilized nations, has passed
us in tho tonnage of steam vowels
engaged in tho world's commerce.
Mr. Chamberlain makes an
elaborate argument for tho passage
of a Shipping Subsidy law. Ho cal
culates that in five years this eoun
try would be carrying its own com
merce on the seas. He thinks that
n the first yeaf of the operation of
such a law the cot would be f I,
tOO.OOO and that the maximum an
nual cost of 10,000,000 would prol;
ably lie 'reached in UHM, after which
there would be a decrease iu the
sum to be paid out.
Whenever this matter of sub
sidies to revive tlie shipping Indus
tur of the United States is mention
ed in a way to command genera'
attention some ono usually arise
1i point out tne true soiuuon is 10
be found in a policy of free ships
that is, tho policy of giving Amer,
ioan registry and its national pnv
ileges to ships made and purchased
in other countries. Advocates of
that policy point to Oreat Britian
and her commanding position in
the ocean carrying trade.
If tho United States, by the
nature of events, were compelled to
be ome distinctively a maritime
nation or see its people starv
through the absolute prostration ol
their industries, and if in addition
the United States, through great
international movements, involv
ing a vast civil war within tl
borders of our greatest rival, Bhoul
secure practically a monopoly
the shipbuilding industry, building
not ouly their own vessels but also
those nearly every other nation
this country too might well favor a
iuplicv of.lrce shis." Every naiion
that thi8T country could induce to
believe in that doctrine would mean
so much more gain for itself. It
would build the ships of other
countries
Those who believe that a policy
of free ships would restore our flag
to the seas in ocean carrying trade
ignor the fact that it costs far more
to operate a ship under the Ameri
can flag than under the flag of any
other nation. Mr. Chamberlain
points out not only that a Bhip
cotting $275,000 in tho United
States may be built in Great
Britian for $214,000 but that the
monthly wages on the American
vessel are as $1,200 to $000 on the
British ship. There lies the chief
justification of the Shipping Sub
gidy bill. It jsrecinely similar
to tho underlying principle of the
protective f arriff; that is tho neod
of developing American industries
and of securing for American work
men a reasonable prospect of
higher wages than are paid in
other countries.
American citizens who desire to
engago in the ocean carrying trade
may do so if they wish by operat
ing vessels under foreign flags.
Some American money is already
invested in this way, as a com
mercial enterprise. The object is
simply money making. But the
desire. for the restoration of the
Ameican flag to the high .seas
rests on a deeper sentiment and has
more powerful influences behind it
than mere money making. A pro
found national sentiment is in
volved. The commercial indepen
pence of a nation is not complete
until it does itsown ocean carrying.
Tjhe retention at home, for invest
ment and development here, ofthe
vasl sum, amounting in the case of
the United States to hundreds of
millions of dollars a year, paid to
other nations for carrying our com
merce, makes a powerful business
argument for a Shipping Subsidy
bill; but stronger even than that
is the great national argument that
no nation occupy a place ofsuprom-
acy or of equality with others until
it builds and does not buy its own
ships. Even if it could operate
ships bought abroad as cheaply as
other nations operate them, the
policy of free Bhips would still be
inadvisable. Our shipyards in such
a case would become simply -re
pairing stations. Our vessels would
be purchased abroad and the aged
cast-offs of a foreign made merchant
marine would be our lot. Thore
would be lost to the world the de
velopement of American ingenuity
in a great industry. The host of
klndred industries Involved In ship
building would suffer incalculably.
This question of tho passage of a
Shipping Subsidy bill is not a ques-
on whether the country shall
undertake the task of incrcaing the
business of a few shipbuilders and
making them rich.1 It is not a ques-
on ofahenefiting theseacost at the
expense of the rest of the country
and of adding to tho wealth and
business of a few seaports. It is a
question of developing trade that is
f the most far-reaching conso'
quonces. 1 his matter reaenoa deep

The commissioner of tho general

has resided upon land prior to tho
location of railroad scrip thereon,
and has continued to live upon and
improve tho land until such is sur
veyed, will have his claim recog
ntoed when he goes to the land
otllce and makes affidavit showing
settlement. His filing .will 1m) re
ceived and the railroad company
will have to contest his right to the
land in order to hold it, thus throw
ing the burden of proof upn the
railroad company, y Under tho law
prior to October I, 1000, whenever
a jierson holding this scrip presents
it to any land ollico and offers to
file it upon auy land, tho local of
ficers are compelled to accept it if
the land is unsurveyed, but when
the survey is made and the occupier
of the land offers his filing within
ninety days, and proves by affidavit
his prior settlement, ho is riven a
prior right to the land, no matter
how muny scrip filings there may
be upm it, and, the scrip holder
in order to establish his claim, will
have toMnitiate a contest. ..
