Theodore Perry shonts, chairman Of
the canal commission, testified before
the senate interoceanic canal commit
tee yesterday that he is drawing two
salaries
He is president Of the Glover Leaf
railroad at $4,000 year, and chair
man Of the canal commission at $780,
600 year.
couple Of months ago when the
fact that Mr.. Shonts had not thought
it worth while to give up his old job
before taking Uncle Sans money was
made public first, Mr. shonts said, in
defense of himself, that he was only
a sort of nominal railroad president.
He repeated yesterday that he did not
give any time to the management of
the road--reports are sent TO him, Of
ficials come to Washington TO consult
with him about it's affairs and poll
'cies. and all that sort of thing-but
he Is only nominally president
or course there Is nothing absolute
ly wrong in the fact that Mr.. shonts
holds two jobs.
But Il Is rather bad taste never
theless.
For If he is doing his full duty by
the railroad
He isn't doing his full duty by the
canal
His railroad job is his own business
and that of the Glover Leaf people.
But his canal job is the business
OF the whole United States. They
have a right to demand that the head
of the commission shall put in his
best licIOs" It's one Of the largest
undertakings in an engineering way
which any people ever took hold Of,

chosen for that position 50 sunder-
values the amount OF work to be done,
and the compliment of asking him to
do it. that he can give only portion
of his time TO Il, the president should
get some one else. II Shonts isn't
wise enough to see that his holding
to the railroad presidency at the time
he has been given control of the big
gest piece OF work that the public has
on hand at present Is an insult TO the
republic, some one ought to take him
aside quietly and whisper it into his
ear. shonls should give up either one
job or the other If he had brain
