avesnm rom
measure .proposed to do and bis difficulty
had not diminished aa ths debate had pro
ceeded. 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eral subsidy because It could be repealed at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

Y. M. C. A. 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. Im-

H. M. Bird, waa aoqulted today In lbs

or medicine for one week he would guar
antee that I would be greatly Improved
