with these locks 1t would be impossi'
BILE for Atlantic storm water to get
into the canal. During the something
more than II miles of lake navigation
Mr.. Batesestimates that vessels would
gain three hours over the time requir.
ed for passing through a sea-level
canal. He has another project, how
ever, which would Increase the lake
mileage 10 "a miles by the construc.
ton of a third lake with two addition
al locks. Aside from the great reduc'
ton in the cost of building the canal
Mr.. Bates claims as an advantage for
his scheme that unhealthy excavation
would be reduced to a minimum and
that the time for the passage of steam
e-s through the entire canal would be
eight and one-half hours as against
thirteen hours estimated by the sea
level route. However alluring may bt

locks the government can not AFFORD

When the Spooner bill was under
consideration in the senate President
Roosevelt declared that as soon as
the measure became a law 1.-The dirt
would fly on the Isthmus," but that
| interesting spectacle mas not yet oc-
CURED although it was promised some
thing more than a year ago. The in
dications are that the isthmus diru
will not begin to take wings until a
definite plan for the construction Of
the Panama canal has been adopted
and probably another year will elapse
; before a final decision in the matter
is reached. IL seems that there dre
not enough engineers in this country
TO decide what kind of canal we wan,
and should have, hence the services
of engineers from England, Germany
and France have been engaged by the
government who are to act as an ad.
, visory committee In the meantime it
has been announced that Mr. Linden
w. Bates, a prominent engineer and
, contractor of New York, mas submitted
new plan for the construction of the
canal which many persons believe to
be the most feasible and simplest de-
vised up to the present time.
We are told that Mr.. Bates is will
ing to stake his professional reputa-
/ ton upon his plan costing SIS, O0O, 900
less than the sea-leyel plan which is
so mighty favored by the engineers of
the canal commission, So, 00O, 900 less
than 60-fOot level and $4,000, 900
less than the 30.foot level canal. He
asserts that if his plan is adopted the
canal win be completed in 1918 or
from two to five years sooner than is
possible under the other plans. So
/, obvious and great are the advantages
offered by Mr. Bates plan that 1t is
safe TO say that it will receive the
most careful consideration by the COM
mission and the advisory committee of
engineers before final action is taken
as TO the character of the canal to be
constructed. In commenting on the
subject the New York Evening Post
says:
There are three vexing difficulties
which confront the canal engineers.
They are the problems of the excava-
tion, of the dams, and OF the Chagres
floods. Were it merely a question of
straightforward digging, the work
would be trying enough because of the
character Of the terrain and of t!.s
malariainfested swamps which will
have 10 be excavated for tne sea-leyel
canal at an enormous cost in money
and perhaps also in men. The Chagres
floods have been particularly battling.
since the rivers normal discharge of
1000 cubic feet per second at Bohio
is suddenly increased in food time 70
136.790 cubic feet per second. To con-
troll this torrent some of the project s
hitherto submitted have provided for
a dam quite as high from top to foun-
dalton as some of our largest sky
scrapers and many times as long. for
spillways and for tunnels three or four
miles in length, the latter to be con-
structed through volcanic conglome-
rate. Whether adequate masonry
structures can be obtained is still an
open question. Mr.. Bates is firmly of
the opinion that no proper foundations
for higa head dams can be had. and
that their construction would involve

must pay franchise and corporation
tax, in spite of the contention of such
companies that such investment and
holding do not constitute doing bust
ness under the terms of the state
law. A decision to this effect was
rendered in the case of The People
ex rel. Wall & Hanover Street Realty
Company VS.. Miller. The company
was organized by a number of heirs
OF a deceaseG person for the purpose
OF managing a property owned by
them In common. The company's only
income consisted of the rentals of the
property, and it had only nominal ex
penses. Exemption was claimed from
the tax on the ground that the com
pany did no actual business in the
state. The court held that the com
pany in question did not come within
the exemptions under the corporation
and franchise tax law, and that it was
therefore liable to pay the tax.

Mr.. Bates proposes to hold the sur
