Secretary MeAdoo charged in his
Portland address that the subsidy
hunters, who arc of course the ship
ping combine, caused the defeat of
the bill. He said:
V'.at is the real fight in tldsmer
chant marine controversy? It is n
fight for subsidies. What are sub
sidies? They are .gifts from the
United States to favorite corporations
firms and individuals who operate
ships.
Why should wc give away millions
of dollars of tlr. people's mrV, ' each

Wouldn't it be more sensible for the
govei nme'-.t to spend these millions in
building up a sp'endid naval auxiliary
merchant marine which can bo con

i-.ll the people?
Every ship owner and every ship
monopolist wants subsidies. They
would profit by them and they are go

the County Court in the matter
admitted that after his living and

business ure pr.id out of $150 allow
ed biin eacli month for "salary nnd ex
penses," the best he has been able to
make as a "salary" for his services,

$00.00. This not being enough to en
able him to meet his responsibilities
he sought other employment and ic-
signed and Coos County loses the in
vestment it has in Mr. Hall-Lewis' ac
cumulation of knowledge and infornia
tion on County road masters, amount
ing to several thousand dollars, which
doesn't sound like good business.
Pressed to further particulars, Mr.
Hall-Lewis said "under the circum
stances, I prefer not to discuss the re
lations between the County Court and
myself further than to say that Judge
Watson and Commissioner Dement
have nlways been just and reasonable,
candid, courteous, and open and above
board, and there has been no friction
whatever between these gentlemen and
myself throughout my term of ollleo,
As to Commissioner Armstrong, it is
merely n matter of business with him
to oppose mo, because I have always
been to n greater or less extent in his
wny, so to speak. That is wore there
no Hoadnnster, many details of road
work should fall to him to look after
a id provide him with lucrative em
ployment, f;r th? Commissioners get
$5. p?r day and their mileage travel
ed in addition. The law doesn't re
quire that the Court shall employ a
Uoudiiiaster, it sny it may. The ex
orcise of hoj functions by a Commis
sioner lining ited by the Court, is a
good thing, where by trnin'i.g and ox
