New Subsidy Bill Proposes Tonnage Tax on Imported Goods
A San Francisco expert in Washington outlines a plan for a new subsidy bill imposing a five dollar tax per ton on goods imported from north of the Panama line and two dollars per ton from the south. The proposal targets foreign producers and consumers, aims to fund shipowners, and argues against direct government funding while warning of potential shifts in global shipping and domestic trade patterns.

Subsidy and tariff remedies for American merchant marine
A legislator argues that subsidies or discriminatory duties could revive the U S merchant fleet without violating treaties. He cites differential tax incentives, comparisons with English rebates, and two proposed remedies from the Merchant Marine Commission, stressing that a foreign ship would also face taxes if not compliant, and urging Congress to study the bill to save billions for the government.

A heated debate cites Mr Carnegie on railway rate controls in Britain and Canada.

Transportation rate regulation in Britain and Canada contrasted
The article discusses why British and Canadian rate controls have limited impact, noting 1844 British law’s resistance to rate cuts and legal challenges. It cites authorities Acworth and Pratt, cites Carnegie on Canadian success, and remarks on Canadian delays and uncertainty in applying their 1948 act. It argues U.S. constitutional structure makes Britain and Canada poor models for U.S. reform.

Friends of Free Alcohol Bill Seen Advancing
House backers of the free alcohol bill project favorable odds with the West and Middle West likely supportive and New England backing. The Democratic minority is solid, and Senate passage is anticipated. A special rule seems unnecessary as tariff amendments are not expected to derail the measure. Senator Allison reportedly supports the bill. It may be taken up when appropriation bills pause.
