Far West, all its enterprises were at the mercy of the East—of an cast that knew about as : much of the needs and resources of the Pacific states as it did / of irrigation on Mars ; In its early phase, transportation was along cast and west ' lines. Competition was lacking and shippers were cinched. In the future, transportation must be north and south and fan shaped as wel The Pacific coast now has capitalists of its awn, who know its needs, and who “talk the western language” / —men who have money to finance big enterprises \ new spirit of unity has arisen ; The United Pacific States have been long enough tethered : ; manufacturing centers. It is foolish to pay fre t on our raw products 2,000 miles, then pay for having it we ked up into 2 ' manufactured goods and then pay ht on the manufactured i goods 2,000 miles back n. For this reason structural steel ; works and factories of all kinds are springing up on the coast, i and western merchants and contractors are learning to place } a portion of their orders with home manufacturers, We need, ; ‘also, huge ship yards For this new factory output and for finding wider markets, ; for our farm products, better means of transportation must “Oo i found | } Vast harbor improvements are urgently needed, all along | the coast; but with our merchant marine reduced to six ne| OF ; and a few lumber schooners, and the Japanese, French, Ger i man and English vessels carrying all our freight, we are merely | digging harbors for the use of foreign ships. H We are blowing in 200 million dollars in digging a ditch | across the isthmus, but, except in time of war, we will have no j use for it. We haven't even a tramp freighter to go through it, but it will serve Japan, Germany and England well America has the most phenomenal lake shipping in the world, and a fine coastwise trade, but only 7 per cent of the ocean traffic is left to her, and that is dwindling fast. This is due to the American fear of the subsidy bugaboo. That this fear is not justified is shown by the phenomenal growth of Japanese and German ocean shipping under government and local subsidies. They have swept our flag from the seas. If we are to cease paying 200 million dollars a year in freights to foreign ships, congress must pay our shipowners some sort of liberal bonus on mail cohtracts and for naval subventior oo Our merchant marine is on the retrograde for two reasons : First, the standard of living and of wages for American seamen j is higher than.for.those of any other country. Second, our | + eboinpetitors receive government money for carrying the mails as part of the wages of the sailors, for the use of the ships as j naval auxiliaries and as direct subsidies. It is time the Pacific coast states were standing together in @ demand that congress give similar encouragement to the flattened-out American shipping business. THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE In other columns today is printed what, in all probability, | will be the final message of President Roosevelt to congress. As a presidential communication it will stand comparison with executive documents that have issued from other hands in past administrations, but as a. Rooseveltian contribution it is 5 disappointing. It is so proper, becalmed and dignified, that the 3 ordinary reader would demand sight of the signature be surrendering his doubt as to its authenticity. F The message in reality is - -ecapitulation of previous ones, sent formally or periodically as the occasion demanded, by the president during“his seven years in the White House. It 3 contains nothing new, strange or startling, and few, if any, departures from the conservative lines of this form of compo- In dealing with the courts, Jabor, corporations, national Preservation prospects, the army, navy, insular possessions, the future of the Philippines, the old principles are re-annunciated in the. tone of a man whose work is nearly done and who is tired. There is no baring of teeth, clenching of fists, nothing strenuous, nothing even remotely suggestive of a frazzle ‘The only Theodoric transgression of presidential taste is the reference to the opposition of labor in the campaign to the * courts and Republican candidate in the matter of injunctions Campaign allegations, until the recent moment, have not been considered worthy of mention on these decasions. A “Me and Bill” note sprawls into. one paragraph, in which the president pays a doubtless just tribtte to the judicial integ- rity of the president-elect, but which suggests that perhaps a less conspicuous personal friend might have sufficed for the comparison These are small matters, hardly. mentionable, but Mr Roosevelt has educated the public to look for meat-ax surgery on the body politic, Seale and social, and we miss the echoes of the chopping block. The message has some interest to the people of Washing ton, in that it makes recommendations for the conservation of the Columbia river salmon. ‘To the people of Seattle, the absence of any reference to the many needs of Alaska will be| the cause of wonderment. It is more than likely that the president considers that he has done all that his time will-per we mit for our big sister of the north, and he leaves that we ighty task for the fresher energie All in all, Whatever form or diction, none can find much serious fault with its common sense of his is safe, sticcessor. the message logical and reasonable. quibbles may be made over its The only reason we know why autos are allowed to have per manent stands in the streets is that the ordinary citizen hasn't enough money to dare to speak to the chauffeurs, or else can't pro. nowunce them, It's all figured out that it will cost $824,408,948.01 to run the gov. ernment for the next year, and we're curious enough to want to know what the one cent is for.
