The City Property Committee has acted wisely in withdrawing from its report the recommendation agreed upon at a previous meeting, and to the effect that the fair grounds be put on the market and sold. The bu- siness men, in very large proportion, . almost unanimously, are of the opin- jon that the land should be held for public purposes. The increment, what- ever it is, belongs to the city, and thete is no telling what may be - the demand for land in the near future for manufactures. The business re- vival of Kingston is so marked that it will not be surprising if the coun- cil be forced ere long to acquire land and hold it for factory sites. Had it acted .on the advice which was gra- tuitiously given to it some years ago some land now in the hands sel speculators * would be in the com trol of the city. SWIMMING BATHS.

A second measure of importance was that which lengthened out the polling day on general elections from 7 a.m. till 10 pm. This is in the interest of the masses who cannot Jeave their work to vote during the shorter day and have not been al lowed to do so in some cases. In the evening the time of the elector is his own, and if he does not vote the fault is his. . The only opposition to the longer day comes from those who have to operate the election machinery and sul up the votes, and in the districts where the ballot is a heavy one - the people will have retired and had a first sleep before the results can be made known. £ .

THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG, TUESDAY, MAY 13, 1913. 7 ; -- \ Washington, D.C., May 13.--Subsi- dizing American ships which bring into the United States dutiable goods from foreign countries will be the subject of a serious debate on the tarifi bill, which will be taken up for considera- tion again to-day. Senators know that unquestionably it will be the purpose of the British and German governments to protest against the preference which will be iven to American ships under the Up wood hill. The bill provides that a five per cent. discount on all duties shall be remitted to shippers using American vessals. It is prohably true that Great Britain will.claim this is'a discrimina- tion against the commerce of that am- pire, in the same manner that pro- tests have been lodged against - the adoption of a policy of free tolls on American shipping through the Pana- ma capal. The senators who will uphold the merchant. marine subsidy point out that Great Britaip's position in this probable protest weak one, inas- much as that government has spent many millions in mail and admiralty subsidies for the development of its commerce, , ; These senators also hold that -the Panama canal will largely fail in its purpose unless the adoption of the snbsidy provision of the Underwood bill shows the country that friendly intercourse between the United States and foreign nations is more easily gained by ships of trade than by any include {Tther means. Tha American farmer has always op- posad a ship subsidy measure.
