OUTSPOKEN
FOR
FREE CANAL TOLLS
WASHINGTON, D. C, Tel). 25.--Sonntor
Ocorpo B. Chamberlain la
outspoken In his opposition to the
repeal of that ltortlon ot tho Panama
canal act which exempts coastwlsa
vessels from payment o( tolls. Ho
has traveled along tho same road
with President Wilson since tho In
auguratlon but ns to tho repeal ot
tho free-tolls provision, which Is now
being championed by tho Chief Exe
cutive, tho senior senator from Ore
gon enters a positive "but dignified
remonstrance.
In speaking ot tho agitation now
going on Senator Chamberlain said:
Inspired by llitHroads
"It Is my opinion that tho demand
for thj repeal ot that portion of the
Panama canal act granting free tolls
to coastwise vessels Is inspired, In
tho first instance, by tho Canadian
Pacific railroad, and this in turn by
tho trans-continental railroads ot
this country. Theso latter roads have
always opposed the construction ot a
canal. Their emissaries were in
Washington to oppose tho passage ct
tho Panama canal act and, having
failed In that, they aro now resorting
to tho field ot diplomacy, ready, it
need be, to plungo the country Into
a bloody war to accomplish their
purposo.
"Suppose tho congress yields to
tho domands ot Great Britain and re
peals tho frco tolls clauso ot tho act,
will that satisfy her? Not by any
moans, tor, yielding to this demand,
it will bo followed by other Insistent
demands and amongst theso will bo
tho opening ot the canal to railroad
owned ships. This Is tho real scent
behind which tho trans-continental
lines aro hiding, both thoso in Ca
nada and tho United States.
No Mights on Canal
"It these demands aro complied
with It will be insisted that wo
have no right to fortify tho canal;
that wo have no right to pats our
navy through tho canal In tlmo of
war; that wo cannot honor our
treaty with Panama with reference
to tho passage ot her vessels through
the canal; In fact, that wo have no
right whatsoever except to expend
about sixteen millions ot dollars per
annum In the maintenance and oper
ation of a great national highway
built by American ingenuity with
America money.
"Tliero Is no question taht there
aro international complications which
make tho subject a dcllcato ono st
this particular juncture, but a truly
American policy demands that the
Panama act should stand as It was
enacted in spile of theso complica
tions, and the United States ought
to maintain Its position at any hazard
or cost. It Is Insisted by thoso who
woudl repeal the clause that it is In
violation of tho Hay-Pauncefoto
treaty, but tho Question of treaty
violation was discussed at great
length before the law was enacted,
and It was determined by an over
whelming vote In both tho senato and
house that tho enactment of the law
was In no sense of tho word a vio
lation of tho treaty. It is not a
party question, but ono of national
import.
Sustained by tlio Iaw
"Not only was this view taken by
congress, but tho then president of
tho United States, as ell as the
secretary of stato, both of whom
wore and are distinguished consti
tutional lawyers, maintained tho
samo view, tho first In his ap
proval ot tho act as passed, and tho
second In his answer to tho protest
of Burl Grey. Furthor than that,
tho supreme court of tho United
States, in passing upon a treaty pro
vision between the United States and'
Orcat Urltaln very much llko the
ono In question, hold that It wns
not a violation ot tho terms of the
treaty that tho legislature of Texai
discriminated Jn favor of American
vessels engagod In navigating tho
waters ot that stato.
"Tho consensus of opinion
throughout tho United States aus
talus tho view that there Is no sound
buBls for tho argument that tho law
violates nny treaty obligations, but
aside from ho question of treaty Btlp
illations there are compelling politi
cal, military and economic reasons
why tho party now lu power should
not undertake to repeal tho free tolls
provision, nor, as I vlow it, oven to
suspend Its operation,
Time for Flrmnew
"It scorns to me that tho tlmo has
come when wo ought to tuko a firm
stand with Groat Drltalu, as wo hare
iaken with Japan, and Insist upon
our rlBbt to control our lutornal af
fairs In whatsoever manner wo sec
fit. It we have to fight to main
tain our rights wo might as well do
it aoyr as to yield to tho demands of
every foreign power and practically
fatter the commerce between tho
GOVERNOR'S PLAN
10 SAVE $150,000
BIENNALLYINTAXES
SAI.K.U, Feb. 2.').- Governor West
hns submitted i plan to nboli'li tin
desert In ml board, stnlo engineer nnd
water board, eoifolidale them us
the stnte land board nnd save $150,
000 biennially to taxpayers, lie
shows what tho co.t has been from
no appropriation in 11101 to .fUKI,
S00 in 1013. It nNo shows that uo
appropriations had been made until
the office of state engineer wns cre
ated in 1005, nt which time nil ap
propriation of .l.,000 wns made, the
engineer's salary being fixed at
$'2400 per milium, $10,000 being ap
propriated for the salary nnd ex
penses of the office and $.1000 for
hydrogrnphio mnps. In 1007 the
appropriation wns $13,000. In 11)00
tho desert land board was created
with salaries of $3000 each nnd the
engineer's snlnrv wns raided to
$3000. The total appropriation tlint
year was $-14,000, and to this were
added certain fees which were spent
by the engineer's office. In 1011
this deportment had grown some
what, the appropriations running up
to $100,000.
In 1013 this made another stride
nnd went down into the public purse
for $193.S00 ns follews:
Desert land board, $10,000; state
water board, $40,000; sta'e enpn
eer's effice: standing appropriation.
$'J0,000; special surveys, $13,S00;
topographic nnd hydregrnphic maps,
$43,000; co-operative survey. $30,
000; Cclilo investigation, $13,000; to
tal, $193,800.
The governor's proposed plnn for
consolidation nnd reduction of ex
penses is n follews:
Abohh desert land beard: Carey
net matters, the work of .-.nid board,
should be tinned over to the Mute
land hoard. A special nuuiial np
proprintion of not to exceed $3,730.
000 blioulil be allowed to cover the
expense nttnclicd. Out of ;hi ap
propriation the board to employ n
man fitted for such work, say nt n
salary of $'J1,000, who shall devote
all of his time to the job.
Abolish the off ee of the tn e
engineer: The work of the n'n of
fice should be turned over to tlu
state wnter board. The said board
should be given power to appoint n
registrar of wnter title, nt n salary
of not tq, exceed $2000 per annum,
who would ticrform the clerical nnd
other duties now Mippoicd to he per
formed by the state engineer (ex
cept that lie shall not become n
member of the state wnter board).
The members of the state water
board should be required to devote
nil of their time to the duties of the
office. It wns brought to light n
short time ngo thnt while drawing a
salary from the state, n member of
the stnte wnter board was employed
ns a local attorney bv the O. It. &
X. company, nnd that the said offic
ial wns traveling on n pass.
Under the "proposed plnn, the ex
pense for the two years, 1015-10,
would be ns follews:
Stnte land bonrd (Carey net pro
jects), $7,500; stnte wntrr hoard,
$32,500; registrar of water title.
$10,000; total, $30,000.
This would menu n sniing of $143,
000 over the appropriation for 1013
14. If it is thought udiisable to
make some appropriation fur special
surveys, i?50,000 could be so aupro
urintcd nnd a saving of $03,000 still
be made.
