 WAR DEPARTMENT Is Willing it Should Control
 Canal Commission. TAFT GIVES HIS IDEAS Commission Should Be Granted Leqls- lative, Executive, Judicial and Ad-
 minlstrative Authority to
 Carry on the Work.
TAFT GIVES HIS IDEAS

Washington, March 9.--The sub-commit- tee of the senate commute on inter- oceanic canals today heard Secretary Taft in regard to legislation of the canal zone The secretary strongly recommended leg islation by congress clothing the canal commission with legislative, executive, judicial and administrative power over the canal strip under direction of the President. He was opposed to any joint control, and said if there are two boards you will have trouble on your hands all the time"
 He said provision for extradition should be made, and that tariff duties should be imposed on goods coming from the canal strip to the United States as from foreign countries to prevent smuggling. The commission should have power to fix rates of duty on goods going Into the strip from the United States and foreign coun- tries
 Not Seeking Responsibility.
 Secretary Taft was asked if the com mission should should be placed under the war department, and replied that the department was not seeking any such 
 chairman of the commission, was very much opposed to any such action. Secre- tary Taft expressed the opinion that by the treaty all power of sovereignty over the canal zone had passed to the United States, although actual sovereignty in ex- press terms had not been surrendered.
 The control of the protection of the peo- pie of the zone devolved upon the United States. The government of the United States had the right to enter into posses sion of the strip, and had absolute Ju- risdiction there. Some legislation would be necessary, as to establish courts, for example, but he thought that it was best to trust the commission as far as pos sible.
 Many Flock to sthmus.
 About the same power should be con- ferred upon them as was given the Phil tradition be provided for, as well as a tariff against the canal zone, the secre- tary said that there would be collec- tion of criminals, rascals. thugs and ne'r-do-wells from the states on the canal strip, owing to the expenditure of $10O,- GOO 0O9. Speaking of placing the canal commls- sion under the Jurisdiction of the war department, the secretary said anti-im- perialists would raise the cry that 1t was an evidence of military despotism. ''I can speak for one line, dyed-i the- wool democrat" said Senator Morgan, who will not be disturbed by any such clamor, and who approves the suggestion that the department have control of the matter"
 Other senators expressed the opinion that the commission should be under con- trol of the war department.
