The lol VIIWIMVU A) fOV,VVV, H LEADERS OK Ml 0 OA PLEADS TOLLS REPEAL Southern Statesman Champions Ad ministration Measure in Senate Live Up to Treaties President Re ferred to South American Neigh bors In Address. WASHINGTON, May 12. Senator Hnko Smith of Georel todny cham pioned repeal of tho clause in tho Panama canal art granting exemption of tolls to American rcsiclg 'n the coastwise, trade. Ho told the scnato ho would vote for repeal "becauso of our treaties with Great Britain and Panama," and because, In his opin ion, "It Is right that tho owner of these vessels should bear, for using tho canal, a fair part of the cpst ot our government of building and oporatlng It." "That coastwise, vessels will nat urally stop at tho porta of Cuba, Mex ico, Central America, Panama and perhaps elsewhere. Their rargocs will not bo limited exclusively to bona fide coastwise traffic of tho United States. Champions Krpcil "Traffic from foreign countries will bo unloaded at porta of tho United States to be Immediately loaded In a coastwise vessel for pas lace through tho canal for tho op posite coast of tho United States, thus In reality carrying through the canal foreign traffic on tho coast wise, vessels without paying tolls." Reviewing tho history of the Pana ma tolls legislation and quoting from a speech credited to former Presi dent Taft early this year, the sena tor said: "Mr. Taft was wrong In supposing that the Idea of democratic senators and congressmen In voting to free the coastwise trado from tolls was to give a subsidy to our coastwise ships. Had they known that he con sidered It necessary under tho treaty to fix the tolls at a rate which esti mated payment of tolls by tho coast wise vessel, thus making tho freedom ot the coastwlso vessels from paying tolls n clear subsidy, t'einocram would not have disregarded their party platform and tho established principles of their party by voting for this subsidy." Treaty Still Govern Senator Smith declared that the Hoy-Paunccfote treaty was made a part ot the title to tho canal zone In tho treaty of conveyance from Pana ma and that talk of terminating It from a legot standpoint as "ab surd." Termination of tho treaty, he uddod, "would compel us to glvo up tho canal unless wo abandon our attltudo as a law abiding nation and resorted nlono to battleships and bruto forco to keep tho properly." Outlining the Interests which Canada and tho countries of South America had In tho tolls controversy, Senator Smith said: "When the president In his roes sago referred to 'other difficulties' to bo caused by tho passage ot our coastwise vessels through tho canal without charge, while I do not speak ex-cathedra, 1 may well conceive that he had In viow our general relations with all our neighbors In Amorlca and not what many have suggested, some ulterior purpose- In counectton with tho government of Great UrU tain."

To thn Domocrats of Oregen: As democrats of Jackson county, wo deeply deplore the unwarranted, false and vicious attacks being made on W. II. Canon's democracy by cor taln fledgling democrats, whose en thusiasm Is as new as It Is misguided, and whose whole aim seems to be to control nnd dominate tho party In Oregon. After some time had elapsed for the filing ot petitions for tho office of National committeeman, and there being no candidate In the field, Mr. Canon announced his candidacy for that office, thereupon a certain fed eral office-holder nnd recent party enthusiast, wboo prescience of mind Is much keener than bis party zeal, realizing that Mr. Canon could not be handled by the official's gang, put a candidate .of his own in tho field and prostituted his high office by Inducing other federal officers to circulate tho petition of his caBdl date, and by engaging In a gum shoe campaign In his behalf. Not being satisfied with this flagrant vlolatlou of the federal regulations, this gen tleman has seea fit to publicly libel Mr. Canon's party loyalty. As democrats who have worked shoulder to shoulder with W II. Canon, we resent any Innuendo as to his party fidelity as a vrllttut and ma licious libel. We know him to be a lifelong democrat and during the years that he has resided In this county he has been a brilliant, untir ing and unselfish worker far every candidate; he has always contributed liberally to tho campaign funds and given his time freely to every party tandldato without a single exception. Our county 18 overwhemlngly repub lican, but wo have tlmo and again given to our candidates for governor and United States senator majorities In excess of a thousand. W. II. Canon desorves tho credit In a largo measure for these brilliant achieve ments and wo trust that us demo crats you will see to It that theso In sinuations aro properly resented at tho polls.
