TAFT ON GOVERNMENT
OF THE CANAL STRIP
lie Tells Senate Subcommittee a
Presidential Commission Should
Have Full Powers.
MR.. MORGAN'S ATTITUDE

WASHINGTON, March .9.-The subcom-
mittee OF the Senate committee on inter-
oceanic canals to-day heard Secretary Taft
relative to legislation for the government Of
the canal zone. The secretary strongly rec
omended legislation by Congress clothing
the canal commission with legislative, ex-
ecutive, 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 COM
mission should have power to Ak rates Of
duty on goods going into the strip from the
United States and foreign countries
Speaking of placing the canal commission
under the jurisdiction of the War Depart
ment, the secretary said anti-imperialsts
would raise the cry that Ii was an evil
dence OF military despotism
II can speak for one DID, live, dyedsin-the-
wool Democrat" said Senator Morgan
'who will not be disturbed by any such
clamor. and who approves the suggestion
that the War Department have control Of
the matter"

WASHINGTON March 9.-Representa-

do not believe in going after an office be-
fore there is vacancy. 1 have not told
anybody that 1 was a candidate for the
Senate; as a matter of fact, 1 am not a
candidate"
II presume you are in the hands Of your
friends. Judge?" said a bystander mo, -
and Judge Crumpacker smiled broadly I'm
not even in the hands of my friends. All
the talk about senatorial candidates is
hinged on the possibility of Senator Fair
banks becoming Vice President. The sena-
tor may go oil the ticket and he may not.
1t depends upon himself For anybody to
begin a campaign now is like a man court
ing a married woman before she becomes
a widow"

national committee as Senator Fairbanks, -
said a prominent Eastern man to-day.
There are few Republicans who command
the respect of the rank and file TO the same
degree that Senator Fairbanks does. He is
recognized a sound man. with a clean
record. and a conservativeness that COM
mands the respect of all. Senaor Fair
banks could handle the campaign without
antagonisms. and with able active man
to look after the details 1 know of no one
who would fit in the place better than he.

tion as Vice President almost certain"
