Thtere are too jnany of that kind already, bck in Washington." That was the first part of con gressman W, C. Hawley's address at the Chamber of Commerce Incheon Monday noon. , The Peat of the time he spoke on more seri ous things -than Andy Gumps, on the gOTernment going into Indus trialism and trade, and into busi ness in the ship subsidy bill, - "I do not believe In imperial izlng the government," he aaid. The people should hare a large part of the powers of government. The state government ; is easily controlled. The National govern ment ; at Washington is' :- too '. far away for control. " The general government therefore, should have only the larger problems, affecting the people as a nation." Elaborating this problem, the speaker, told of the Ford proposal to lease the Muscle Shoals power in the Tennessee . river, , the gov ernment finishing the enormous expense of building, and guaran teeing . the ; Ford company 8 per cent on its nitrate manufactures. He held that this was a kind of personal monopoly, : taking the taxes of the whole people to touild up a private business that would come Into direct competition with many of them, and giving the one contractor a great advantage, that the people needed to consider carefully.

If the gOTernment furnishes, capital and plant for one ,why not for another, or for all We ret back Into the So-i clalistic state along this road. We need to know what's ahead Of us on this dangerous road.", Mr." Hawley spoke at some length oa the ship subsidy bill. explaining first some of the dif- ficultles in getting the -14,600.- 000.00 Worth of federal ships off the government's hands. , Most of the ships were built suitable only for war;use. A Coos Bay lum ber shipper. Mr. Owen, who went back to look, over . the shipping board vessels In a six months' search found only two that could be adapted at all to his use, and even' these cost, half as much to change as the ship , cost in the first place. : The mat tier of untaxed federal and state securities was brought tup, the speaker saying; tnai mere is close to 325,000,000,000 of SSUES (Continued 05 9).
