In order to sliow why Hie order

hnt dug up expense vouchers filed a

A n sample, the vouehcru filed for

totaling 170.tr.

"This wns only ouo inspector,"

TALKS PATRIOTISM
ON CANAL TOLLS
WASHINUTON, -May 13. Declar
ing the administration demand for
tho repeal of Hie Panama canal toll
exemption was "unworthy of sons of
the revolutionary fathers," Senator
Siuoot of Utah loday argued vigor
oiixly loday against the rccai bill in
the senate.
"Tho attempts thai aru being rondo
in our own country nnd hy our own
citizens to convince the American
people (Imt the United State is vio
lating it treaty obligations, uud in
looked on hy other nations as lack
iug in national honor, I repudiate,1
hiiid Senator Sutoot. "The coustitif
Hon confer, on congrchS tho power
to regulate our domestic commerce,
and in doing o we are not subject
to the charge of violuting our treaty
obligation. Senators, have you
stopped to think (hut the assaults on
our national honor come from within
nnd not from without 7
"1 want tho United States to en
joy the ie.pect of all nations of tho
earth, to live in peace and lo main
tain a deire to accord equal justice
to ull. If we must purchiisu foreign
friendship the prieu exacted must
not involve us in national dishonor."
Senator Thomas, in concluding, n
noiinced while he favored repeal, ho
felt the party platform hound him to
vote ugaint u-peal, particularly siuca
lie had been a caudidalo oh that plat
form. SEATTLE FAVORED ,
