STEAMER
LINES
AOTS
KAISER
WASHINGTON, Sept. 15. Declar
ing Hint tho establishment of govern
ment owned steamship lines Is & di
rect attack on tho Invested capital
and would mean tho ultlmnto destruc
tion ot steamship lines which tho In
genuity and wisdom ot a deserving
class ot citizens have built up ami
maintained In tho carrying trade oC
tho United States, seven members ot
tho committee on tho merchant ma
rine Introduced today in tho house a
minority report on tho merchant ma
rine 1)111 which was framed to mcov
conditions arising out ot tho Euro
pean war. Tho report la signed by
five republicans, Green, Mass.; Hinds,
Maine; Curry. California; Edmonds,
Pennsylvania; Parker, New York, and
two democrats, Saunders, Virginia,
and Thachcr, Massachusetts.
Possibly tho most dangerous effee',
of tho measure, tho report declares,
would be tho result its enactment
might have on tho position of neu
trality on tho part ot the United
States In the war.
'lHn Neutrality
The bill, continues tho report.
would. If it becamo law. stifle all
commercial enterprise and turn over
to tho government itself the power
to crcato a merchant marine, which
power could. It Is asserted, bo ex
tended and enlarged so long as money
remained in the treasury and as mucn
longer as congress should provide by
taxation to replenish the treasury.
"The purchase ot foreign steam
ships now used in the foreign trade."
nays tho report, "would not increase
tho number ot vessels now available
for tho over-seas trade, even It they
II , . wore granted an American registry.
and no evidence has been produced
that thcro aro not now mora vessel
avallablo for use In the over-seas
trado than could be used advantag
eously In transporting- merchandise
to the various markets ot the world,
and it Is distinctly claimed that thcro
la now ample avallablo tonnage.
Therefore, thcro can bo no emer
gency that calls for government
owned lines to tako care ot tho pro
ducts ot American labor and Ameri
can capital."
Granting that the situation seemed
to warrant the introduction ot a bill
to meet tho emergency due to the war
the report says, "the bill Itself goes
much further than the lino of emer
gency and opens up the whole ques
tion of tho development of an Amer
ican merchant marine by proposing
an absolulo scheme of government
ownership involving an expenditure
or many millions of dollars, which
cannot fall to demand an Increase, of
taxes which would have to bo boruo
by the American people."
Of Doubtful Expediency
Tho signers ot the report charge
that tho bill did not receive suffi
cient consideration at the hands of
tho committee and says that more ex
tended hearings might have revealed
some definite practicable system of
action. Alluding to tho vital need
of an American merchant marine, tlw
report adds:
"The mere buying of such vessel
of foreign constructions as might bo
purchased while the foreign war con
tinues would be but the first step In
a new and untried venture an ex
IKtrlmcnt of doubtful exjiedlency
which should not bo undertaken
without serious consideration.
"Tho establishment of steamship
lines is a business proposition. It is
not a political undertaking and
should not bo a political proposition.
If tho members examine this bill
with car they will fail to discover
therein a slnglo definite buslnesi
proposition.'1

JOINT MISTAKE OF
PETItOGHAD, via London. Sept.
13, 5:27 a. m. Colonel Shumsky,
the military correspondent ot tho
Dourso Gazetto In a long criticism ot
what he terms the Joint mistake ot
Austro-Gcrman strategy, the effects
of which, he says, aro now being re
vealed on both fronts, considers that
the Gallclan victory wa.i obtained at
an opportune moment and that tho
transfer ot German troops from the
western to tho eastern frontiers hai
now attained Its object.
He says It Is fair to concludo that
tho Russian successes on tho Aus
trian frontier and tho Russian move1
ment In East Prussia were the pri
mary causes ot tho victories of the
Anglo-French army. The shocks ad
ministered by tho Russian army, he
declares, havo been so powerful that
the Germans were obliged to recall a
portion of their troops from France,
thereby facilitating the French task.
GAME LAW VIOLATOR

convicted of violation ot the game
laws, a year ago before Justice Tay
lor, and tho flno of $25 mado payable

mitted to the county Jail Monday, be
causo lie did not make any effort to
repay tho leniency or the court. DavU

lowed to go because he had a family
to support.
The charge against Davis was that
ho was ruthlessly killing game In the
Griffin creek district, without respect
for tho law. Gamo Warden Hub.
bard ot Ashland visited tho Davli
homo Monday to remand Davis to the
county Jail, and found grouse and
Chtncso pheasant feathers scattered
about. This morning there was great
activity on tho part of tho Davis
household to scare up $2S to secure
his release

havo forgot their promises to pay
their fines, will bo called to an
counting this afternoon.

of tho Germans. Shipments mado
from Liverpool last month ot canned
