If appearances may be trusted
 there is to be a general shift of opinion as to how the Panama canal should be constructed. The matter has been under consideration since the days of Mckinley. and there have been many sudden fops. First it was to be constructed through Mica ragua. and congressional committees and the house unanimously so resolv- ed. About that time one Cromwell appeared on the scene. and then the congressional and administrative sentiment just as suddenly and just as mysteriously changed No one has ever clearly explained just how this change was brought about Years have elapsed. many millions of dollars have been spent. just how many no one seems to knoz, and not only is the canal still inA em- bryo. but just how it is to be built Is ret undetermined If one ednld

ever get at the truth it is believed big chunk of the money that has been expended up to the present time has been practically wasted, or used in paying fat saleries to men who do little more than junket back and forth to the Isthmus, pending by far most of their time in comfortable and luxurious quarters in Washing ton. Congress just before 1t closed its last session declared in faver of lock canal in preference to sea- level. The next day Chairman Shonts and Chief Engineer Stevens shouted that "now dirt will fly in earnest" and the president called the two to the White house and told them he wanted to see results at once: that nothing must now be in the way of digging the ditch. So far as can be learned the dirt has not been flying much. if any faster than 1t did before Shont and Stevens took hold. President Roosevelt originally said the canal must be built by the government, and under the direc- tion of men appointed by the gov ernment. Shonts and Stevens told us the canal would be built by the gov ernment. Now comes Chairman Shont and Chief Engineer Stevens and informs the president that the contract system is the one that ought to be adopted and that they have been for weeks engaged in pre- pairing the specifications necessary before bids are asked. Costly as it may be, the contract system will scarcely be as expensive as if the government undertakes to do the work itself, if things go on as they have been going.

How to Avoid Double Taxation
By the Torrens System.

Editor OF the Dimes-Dispatca:
Sir,-Every one must acknowledge. 1t is
Illegal and unjust to reqit-e the tax
payer to pay more than his or her just
enjoy the benefits and protection OF the
law. should be both. willing and required
to contribute to the support OF the gov
erment which makes the laws. All laws
are supposed primarily to be for the pub
lie good and should be enforced as long
as they are on the statute book But,
Mr.. Editor. as we all find out sooner or
later there Is always room for Improve
to raise revenues for the support of
the government. Now 1t is not necessary
to demonstrate by any argument from
political economy. that taxation is at the
very basis. and foundation of all civil
liked government. Render unto Caesar
the things that are CAESARS and, I'm .
God the things that are Gods" came
from the lips of Him who spoke as never
man spoke. The nearer We can come to
devising an equitable system OF levyins
taxes for the support of govern ne,t, tile
nearer will we be to that stage of con-
tentnent which is so much to be desired
The writer heartily agrees with the
Times Dispatch that to require the tax
payer to pay beyond his fee, simply In :
terest. interest In the land mortgaged and
at the same time require him 10 pay taxes
on the money borroked. is beyond the Hha-
dow of a doubt: double taxation, as ia.
as the borrowing is concerned. 1t makes
no difference whether the money bor-
rowed passes from the borrower to q
third party. because If Il does pass the
law supposes that the borrower receives
some valuable consideration on winch
he must pay taxes. The exemption OF
the mortgage from taxation might ho'r
the borrower by reducing his rate OF
interest. but this would not necessarily
mean that the taxation of the mortgage
would be double taxation as far as the
borrower is concerned. AS a matter OF
fact. the average money-lender would
require the legal rate of interest whether
his mortgage were exempt or not from
taxation. Tt seetus TO the writer that
the double taxation liesss In the fact thai
the borrower Is required. az the law now
stands. to pay taxes beyond his fee sinr
pie interest, In the land mortgaged. and
at the same time pay taxes on the money
borrowed. or else some valuable consider
alton for which he exchanges the money
borrowed. Now the writer thinks there
is a remedy at hand by which this gross
Injustice to the borrower can be avoided.
This Torrens system of land registration
shows every lien AGAINST the realty
whether In the form Of taxes, mortgage
or judgment. As soon as this excellent
system becomes law. let the commits
sioners of the revenue be REQUIRED to ac-
gistra.ion as a prima facie exhibit, as
to whether there Is a mortgage Registered
against the realty. II there Is n mortgage
registered. let this be deducted from the
assessed value and let tho difference the
taxpayers fee simply intercst) be the
basis of taxation.

Thomas Broaddus and grandson of
William Broaddus, who III turn was an
own brother OF the John Broaddus men,

only one to drop one OF tho IDS" from
his name. for though his father had pre-
viously done so. the other sons expressed

Goods Well Displayed Half Sold

Editor OF the Times-Dispatch:
Sir,-ln our Mayors message, article
peal OF that provision. in Section 50
OF Chapter a2, of the City Code. which
allows merchants TO use three feet in
front. OF their places of business, for the
display Of goods. Then the Mayor
says that the privilege is relic of our
the display because his neighbor does.
The latter part of the above reads to
tho writer, like our distinguished official
is trying to plead the baby act" All
retail merchants OF our city and other
cities agreed that well displayed n1er-

cent. of the merchants OF this city know
that q fair display OF goods In front of
their places OF business. certainly helps
business. II appeals to the eye, and GER

brings In many a dollar that would other
wise go by.
As the News Leader said in It's edi-
now such q law as the Mayor wants
post haste would work q hardship on
a..class of people who make the backbone
ana progress OF a community, and who
carry the heaviest of its burdens. In our
city the retail merchant ia required to

The customary action of our citizens in
all public matters needing correction was
formerly taken In the indignation meet

touched to the quick, expressed Itself In a
Joint debate between offender and offended.
The voice Of the people when warranted by
the fact was potent and conclusive. But
IL the people had been hastily aroused
