He bad been told that thla was a better bill than that of last year. While that might be ao, he suggested It waa open to objection. Tbe measurs In ita operation, ought to have an end as well as beginning, yst It provided no limitation to the time the contracts mads undor It should be en forced. He gava notice, therefore, of an amend . went, providing that under tbe bill the postmaster general should not make con tracts after July 1, 1910 and that ths con tract ahould not extend beyond July 1, 1920. He gave notice of another amendment he proposed to offer providing that no veaaela should bs entitled to full compensation un der ths act unless they , shall have cleared from a port of the United 8tatea with at least fifty per eent of their cargo capacity and that tbe 'subsidy paid such vessels should bs reduced In proportion to the re duction of the cargo below fifty per cent f their capacity. Woala Limit Aaareaato Snkalay. Mr. Allison believed alao that there ought to be a limitation upon ths aggre gate amount of aubsldy to be paid annu ally under tbs bill. Continuing Mr. Allison expressed ths onvlction that tbe aggregate amount to be expanded under the bill should be 11m. Ited and hs suggested an amendment lim iting tbe amount of mall pay under the bill for each year until 1907 to $5,000,000 annually and after that date to $8,000,000. He said that If no limitation were fixed In the matter of price he did not doubt that by next October (election time), the publto would be told that the amount would reach $60,000,000 annually. Mr. Allison aald that be had no ltmlta. tlon to suggest In connection with ths gsn eral subsidy because It could be repealed at any time. He suggested amendments sx. eluding from the subsidy benefits of tbe bill vessels making less than eight knots aa hour and thoas which "In ths sams voy age are sngagnd in traffic sxcluslvsly re. served to vessels of ths United 8tatea."

BUILDING, CORNER 16TB AND DOUGLAS the general motives of ths bill no good American could find himself In opposition. The desirability that Americas products should be carried tn an American merchant marine was apparent to all. Personally hs long ago had formed the opinion that ths true method of tbe revival of our merchant marine waa by the levying of discriminat ing duties, but our bands had been tied by treatlea which prevented the levying of such duties. It the United States should denounce thoss treaties harm might fol low, but he did not take kindly, he aald, to the doctrine that the United States for ever was to be bound by treaties with our competitors. jTha pasaage of tbs pending bill would produce retaliation and the retaliation eauasd by the abrogation' of the treaties would differ only in name. He said he would not have voted for ths bill of lsst ysar. As to ths pending measure he eald he did not like to vote for tbe making of contracts Involving the appropriation of vast sums of money unless it waa evident, clearly, that the object sought to be accomplished by the bill would be ac complished. Compelled to Donbt Resalts. His Investigations Induced htm to doubt that the pending btll would accomplish ths results hoped tor by Its advocates. He said It had been contended that the bill of last year would no more than squallts ths con ditions between this country and European countrlea. yet the present bill propoaed a much lower subsidy. Hs Insisted that the United States ought to know definitely that thla bill would bo productive of tbe results Intendsd before enactment. Tbe only thing absolutely certain about the measurs waa that ships now la exist snce would receive a large amount of money until the subsidy waa rspaaled. "In my opinion." aald hs, "that subsidy la a gift." Mr. Bpooner gave notice of aa amend ment he proposed to offsr to tbe bill re serving to congress ths right to amend or repeal ths measure without, however.
