SHIP SUBSIDY SYSTEM OF fPOfJ Founded in 1870 and Devel oping: Eyer SinceWhat It Costs and What Ships It Builds Schools,? for ' Shipbuilding. '. , (Hearst New by Vaagett Leased Win.) New York. Nov. 7.--The condition of subsidy grants for the promotion of shipbuilding and seaborne trade aa prac ticed by the Japanese government la 'described In the London Engineering aa follows: .' ... . . "The flrat law for the purpose of aa slstlng the building and owning, of ahipa in 'foreign style waa paased In 1870. The law which at present la .In force waa paaaed In 189 and Is to ex pire In 114.' in Its relation to shlp owning provision Is mads 2or a pay ment of 25 sen tedl.per groaa ton per. 1,000 mllea to ahlpa under the Japanese flag, engaged In foreign trade, of not ., fesS than 1.000 tons (gross) knots speed. The amount of payment varies with lie and speed, reaching a maximum of 80 sen pet ton for ships of nt less than i.OOOtona (gross) and 17 knots. The. amount also varies with the age of steamers, tne full sum be InJ due for the rst five years after launching. If Is then reduced 6 per cent per year up to the fifteenth year, when it la entirely withdrawn. ror JToreign Competition. , "Ships taking advantage of thia pro vtelon are granted a certificate called the -navigation encouragement certifi cate.' For competition with foreign companies the encouragement thus pro Vlded proved insufficient andin 1899a very important new departurefwae made. Special contracts were entered Into with various steamship companies to run tegular services on certain definite route. The routes and companies .ob taining the advantage of these subsi dies are the European, Seattle and Aus tralian lines of the Nippon Yuaen Kai sha, the Ban Francisco line of the Toys Klsen Kaisha, and two or three other lens well known companies. For the European line the contract calls for II vessels, each of 8.000 tons gross and 14 knots' speed: for the Seattle line, three vessels, each of 6.000 tons and It knots; for the Australian line, three vessels of 8.600 tons and 1 knots; for the Ban Francisco line three vessels of 8,000 tons and 17 knots. The number of, steamers possessing the navigation encouragement, certifi cate In March, 1907, was 82, of an ag gregate tonnage of 100,000 tons. The ownership of these steamers was divid ed as follows: Nippon' Yusen Kaisha, 14. 'of 60,680 tons; Mltsult Bussan Go mel Kaisha. 8, of 25.114 tons; Osaka Bhoshen Kaisha. 6. of, 10.406 tons; Mit sui Bishi Goshl Kaisha. 2, of 6 678 tons; Government railway. 2, of l8,869 tjn' Coat of the Bubsidialngv The payment under this head was 961.779 yen in 1907-fl, estimated to be increased to 8.483.966 yen in 1908-9.

"In its relation to shipbuilding, the law of 1896 provtdeed for a payment on both hull and machinery. Fdr the hull, " when the gross tonnage is between 700 and 1,000 tons, the rate is 12 yen, and when the gross tonnage is above 1,000 tons the rate is 20 yen per ton; for the machinery the rate Is 5 yen per indi cated horsepower actually developed on trial, no payment, however, being 'made from machinery unless the tonnaee ex ceeds 700, and the hull thereby entitled to, its share. Steamers claiming these subsidies must necessarily be con structed In Japan. They must, more over, comply with the shipbuilding regu lations of the Japanese marine bureau. Up to March, 1907, 6.7 steamers of an aggregate gross tonnage of 138,900 tons had been built to take advantage of the law. Sixteen of these vessels, with an aggregate gross tonnage of 65,486, be longed to the Nippon Tusen Kaisha. and 31, with an aggregate- tonnage of 26,672, to the Osaka Shosen Kaisha. The payment under this head was 677, 848 yen in 1907-8, and Is estimated to be 1,999,440 yen in 1908-9. Schools for Shipbuilders, ' ."The keen Interest taken in the de velopment of the Japanese shipbuilding la attested by the number of students -under training in this subject at the Imnerial university of Toklo. These now number 115. The course of study extends over three - years, and, while the practical part of their training la Insufficient; It is good ao far aa It goes. The ' theoretical training la well conceived and adequate.

To the Demo crats of Multnomah CountyWhen we entered the recent Presidential cam paign the county registration showed more than four Bepubllcans to one Democrat. The s net result of the straight Democratic fight that followed was a vote of less than two to one at the polls In favor of the Bepublican party. Evidently the argument waa on the Democratic aide. ' - , , The Democratlo party le proud of the first voters and welcomea lo the party the young men. and older onea, too, who contributed so substantially to Demo crat increase. And now as to the fu ture of the local Democracy. , To call a Democrat a "non-partisan does not Improve his business, capacity nor endow him with greater integrity, It Is an attempt to eclipse the name Democrat and to delude.
