GET A MERCHANT I MARINE
As was mentioned in' an article on; this page yesterday,
it has jbeeh suggested that the ealecf ships by the govern
ment at prices far below their cost! is; an effort to commit
our country to the principle of subsidizing merchant ship
The loss which the government takes in eacn sale of the
kind being in effect a subsidy jj j
And it is said an" effort along this line is to be made at
the next session of Congress, though that body lias in the
recent past been opposed to ship subsidies. j ;
. The writer of the matter in this 'corner of The Statesman
is in favor of a ship subsidy, in any way in which it may be
proposed, sugar coated or otherwise and he is in favor of the
new proposition being put : forward to arrive at the same
ting by adding to the salaries of sailors" on American ships
Efficient- to equalize American ' wage 'icales fwittf foreign
wage scales - : uv.;A y ! , .
i Either orbotlrof thW above, if 4hat is the best way that
can be agreed upon to guarantee the building up and main
tenance of an adequate Ameritan larine. -t. ; rT I :-
, But he believes that the best way to guarantee this is
the way the founders of our Republic did it -give preferen
tial duties to goods carried in American bottoms.' That is the
way the great American merchant marine was built up and
maintained in. the years preceding the civil war. . : j
That is the way to do it again-- - j ;..
And it is no credit to Congress ; that it has not been done
already. '.- J M

She lived a life of Christian service, helpful to the extent of

The passing of such a life is a real) loss to the community, as
it. is -a painful -loss to father and fmother and brothers and

The Frank Myers who was one
of the speeders to forfeit bail
money in the Salem' police court
on Mondiy was not the Frank
Myers who presides over the des

n the north side of the Columbia ; river highway at Eagle
Creek. This tract was the property of the State of Oregon
and evidently mismanaged oy aaia commission Dy ana wim
he consent, of Carl Shoemaker for a long time warden and
star lobbyist at succesliveiegislatures. I j t
Recently it was announced) that this tract valued by
Realtors, at ramlifteen tp twenty. thousand dollars had been
sold for the astonishing sum 'of ifouf'nousand dollars toa
I -private purchaser who will erect refreshment stand thereon
and use the same as af recreation park. Incidentally or other
wise the former fish warden wil according to report, act as
manager of the tract; - , '. : j i:';i;J" -;:'-v
A large, juicy piece of business but the state weeps in
vain for a bite. Under the past and present "none of the pub?
lie's business" attitude of tiej; commission the sale was
'brought to light only recently when application for the eree
tion of the refreshment stand was1 made to; the Multnomah
county commissioners. j I . " . f M

many seasons she has been bitten, buffeted or swallowed for
their amusement or profit she has become the limit of pa-

this recent stunt is no idle question.:. The moral and economic

the charge that Shepherd had
been instrumental in taking Mrs.
McCllntock to an Isolated point in
Texas .15 years ago and accom

when she was made ill there and
returned to Chicago to . die. . But
even 16 years could bring back
the truth," he shouted. "While in
this Shepherd made a remark to
an acquaintance there, ! 'Don't

It is generally' thought that forced obedience to a single con
