ARTICLE 1.
Nations, .llko Individuals, aro sel
dom tho masters of tholr own des
tinies. Whether Araorlcn wills It or
no, the time has como when wo must
perforce occupy tho first placo on tha
stago of world commerce a placo
never occupied In history by any naA
lion not Btrong in seapower. ""'
The first act passod by tho Ameri
can Congress was designed to aid
Amorlcan shipping by making tho
tariffs lower on goods when shipped
In American bottoms than whon ship
pod tisdor foreign fl'ig.
From tho time of the union of our
original thlrtuen coustal states until
tho Civil War, one of the leading In-,
dustrlc3 In America was shipping.
Through our superior ability in tho
construction of ships and the prox
imity of our law materials for
wooden ships (which wero tho only,
ships of thoso days), America's sea
annals of that period constitute' a
proud page in tho history of tho re
public. Treaties Forbid Discrimination.
By 1828, through treaties, tho pol
icy of discrimination, preferential
tariffs and similar legislation cumo
to an end. Today the United Statea
has somothlng over one hundred
commercial treaties forbidding such
practices.
There were several major factors
that contributed to our willingness
to neglect our merchant marina
after the close of tho Civil War.
Among these was the development
of our rich central and far west.
Not only was -the adventuresome
youth lured west of the AUeghenles
but capital found better opportunity
for profit In the development of our
rich' Inland empire. With the find
ing of gold In California tho lure of
adventure and profit attracted our
young men from the eastern sea
board belt to the great undeveloped
territory lying to tho westward. The
movement then inaugurated (a move
ment of vast importance to ourselves
and indeed tho whole world) marked
the beginning ol tho rapid decline or
tho Amorlcan Merchant Marino.
At about tho same time the iron
ship, wasrporfected. In Uiobo days
America-, was not in a position to
build Iron ships In competition with
Great Britain whoso coal .andt Iron
ore lay practically at seattoard Whoro
tho ships wore constructed. WaMia'd
not then as yet developed our great
Iron Industry nor our bteel Industry
which followed later.
In addition to theso very compel
ling reasons. Amorlca required all
tho borrowed capital she could got,
paiticularly for the- development of
her railroads. Theso roads wore
built as a result of tho encourage
ment given by Ciovornmont subsidies
ot land grants and thoy formed tho
arteries through which the wealth of
tho central and western portions of
our country poured.
Subsidy Like Tariff Protection.
In order to Insure tho development
of our Infant industries. America
adopted a system of high tariffs for
tho product of factory, mine and
farm alike. Thus, American ships
had to bo built by the highest paid
labor ir tho world and operated by
crews receiving high wugeo.
None would have American stand
ards of living lower than they are;
but the Insurmountable handicap
caused thereby to American shipping
built and operated by protected labor
is obvious.
At tho start of the World War In
1914, America's passenger fleet la
the North Atlantic had dwindled to
tha shameful total ot six vessels.
The aid given them in the way of
postal subsidy by our Government
was undoubtedly the chief reason
four of them were able to continue
in sorvlco at that data. Our whole
fleet ot sea-going steel and Iron ships
at that time totaled only ono million
gross tons as compared with eighteen
million tone for Great Britain exclu
sive ot hor colonies.
Fortunately for us, Groat BrlUlu
and her Allies, in the conduct of the
war beforo our entry and afterwards,
noodod all tho surplus products we
could supply and demanded over in
creased production from us. It will
be recalled that n vastly different
situation prevailed during the Boor
War and tho farmer and wool growor
of Amorlca will romombor what hap
pened to them during that period
when nritlsh ships were not avail
able to carry our surpluses and we
had no merchant marine of our own.
Immediately upon our entranco
into tho war In 1917, there aroso a
ory for "Ship, mora ships and again
more ships," as the foremost con
tribution America could give. As a
result the ao-ornment built . tho
largest, fleet the world has! over

capacity. No factor aided more in
brlngtaf tho war to a quick conclu-
tftftt -merle was vortir arran
to span tho Atlantic with a bridge ot
ships. '
Cannot Depend On Foreigners
America omerged fjom the war
a creditor nation, whorens beforo it
had ben a debtor nation. Prior to
1914 tho maritime nations of the
world, to whom we owed vast sunjs,
could suroly be counted upon to sontl
their slilps to our shores that we
might pay In our products tho debts
wo owed them. Wo must now com
pete with them if wo aro to dispose
of our surplus products In tho avail
able markets of tho world. It is not
to bo supposed thoy will give us those
facilities which aro ossontlal to world
commerce to enable us to compote
with them.
Of tho 1430 steol ships owned by
tho Government 983 aro tied up;
tho other 447 tho Government has
boon oporatlng to mnko sure the
American llag shall roach every
needed port of tho world. This op
oration is being conducted at a cash
los3 of $50,000,000 a yoar and at the
expense of tho deterioration of tho
fleet.
President Hardhig and tho present
Shipping Board avor, because of
trasons to bo covoied in subsequent
articles, that Govcnment operation
of ships is impossible- on the ono
hand, and that for Amorlca lo turn

to mala' it possible for private Amorl

problem of Its disruption.

.PREMIUM. FOR HOGS FREE
FROM T. B.
THIS MAXIM from the mind of one of America's
greatest thinkers should strike home with the young
men of Red Cloud and vicinity. Our most successful
business men have heeded it in their youth and are happy
for having done so. They practiced thrift without personal
inconvenience and the dollars they thus saved proved the
foundation for their succsss.

Commencing July 1, 1922, the "Big
Five" packers-Armour-Swift-Morijis-Cudahy
and Wilson, will pay a prem
ium of ten cents per hundred weight
for all hogs coming from counties
certified to be free from Tuberculosis.
$10,387.00 for Webster county, 1921.
alWe have made a survey and ob
tained from shipping stations the
number of cars of hogs shipped out
of Webster 'county for tho Calender
ypar 1921, which was a total of Gil
,cars of straight hogs, not figuring
mixed cars of hoes and cattle. And
taking the minimum weight per car
of 17,000 lbs., making a total of 10,
3S7.000 lbs., and figuring this at ten
cents per hundred weight, Webster
county hog va'pcrs wou'd have reviv
ed ten thousand, three hundred and
eighty-seven dollars mo c for their
hogs.
These pnekcivs justify the payment
of this premium on the grounds that
they have been losing, approximate
ly, ten per cent by reason of infected
animals finding their way into tho
packing houses. Thus, tho time has
como when tho testing of all herds
of cattle for tuberculosis and the
disposition of all infected animals,
has become a direct investment. What
more could the farmers of Webster
county want?
Dr. E. D. Leiby.t is stationed here
and does the testing free. If reactors
are found, indemnity is paid and now
a premium amounting to $10,387.00
annually, is offered by the packers.
And still there are farmers that re
fuse to have their cattle tested.
