The Ttclchstng has passod a law
Irerlvo tho shipping dues on Gor
n navlgablo rlvors, which woro
ollihcd with enthusiasm nbout flf-
Ttars ago. Tho plan orlglnntcs
Ith Prussia, and Is connected with
canal legislation of about ten
m ago.
Id 1899 tho Prussian government
tried unsuccessfully to Induco tho
diet to puss a law providing for tho
construction of a canal to connect
tho Ithlno with tho Elbo, starting
from near Dussoldorf on tho Ithlno,
and reaching tho Kibe near Mngdo
burg. The agrarian Interests, which pre
dominate In Prussian legislation,
took alarm at the plan, believing that
such ti cnnal would facilitate the Im
port of foreign grain Into tho heart
of Germany, nnd tho bill was reject
ed. Several yenra later, however, a
compromise bill providing for tho
building of tho cannl from tho Ithlno
to a point near Hanover wna passed,
hut tho agrarians attached a provi
sion to tho meaauro that It should
not bo put Into operation beforo tolls
had been reintroduced on nil tho nav
igable streams of tho Empire, Intend
Ing this nB a further meaauro for
chocking tho shipment of Imported
grain Into tho Interior.
Thereupon the Prussian govern
ment set to work to obtain tho co
operation of tho other Germnn sta
tes for tho pnssnge of a law reviving
navigation duos. Tho nsalatanco of
llavnrJn and wlrtcmborg waa obtain
ed by holding out hopes that tho
Main and Nccknr rlvora would bo Im
proved In their upper courao, bo that
thoso states would havo tho advan
tage of water communication with
the sen. Hamburg's consent wns ob
tained by n trndo of territory ncces
sary Tor extending tho city's harbor
area.
In ono Important respect tho now
law fallB to moot tho expectations of
tho agrarians. In order to obtain
tho support of tho other states tor
Ha planB, Prussia waa obliged to
agreo to fix tho tolls at a very low
figure, and honco thoy will not provo
n very strong check to foreign grain.
It Is frcoly predicted by tho oppo
nents of tho plnn that tho rates is
fixed will not yield nearly so much
rovenuo ns assumed by tho govern
ment, nnd Hint thoy will linvo to bo
considerably Increased If tho promis
ed Improvement of tho affluents of
the Ithlno la to bo carried out.
Boforo this law take effect It will
bo necessary for tho government to
sccuro an ngrcomont with Holland
and Austria, with which countrlos
Germany has treaties guaranteeing
'tho freedom of navigation on tho two
strenms mentioned. As both coun
tries nro strongly opposed to barter
ing away their treaty rights, It Is by
no means certain that tho lnw will
over bo pnt Into operation.
