The House In Committee OF the
Whole Considered the
Question.
MEMBERS SIT ON THE SHORT STEPS
Leading To the Speakers Desk and
Listen To Mr.. Burton, OF Ohio,
Explain.
With Pointer in Hand and Charts He
Called Attention To the Vital
Difference Between the
Two Types.

Washington, June 16.--In committee
of the whole the house, by vote of
10 to SO, voted in favor of lock ca
nal across the Isthmus of Panama, the
amendment to this effect being pre-
sented by Representative Littauer, of
New York.
With members of congress sitting
on the short steps in the aisles of the
house, around the space in front OF
the speakers desk. Mr.. Burton, of
Ohio, pointer in hand, indicating by
charts the difference between sea
level and lock canal and the house
presented every appearance of the
class room of great university.
He prefaced his remarks by stating
that in the so-called Spooner law au-
thorizing the expenditure of s135, ,000,-
900 for the Panama canal and giving
the president the right to inuagurate
this movement and carry It to sue
cessful conclusion, the type was left
with the president with certain speci-
fcations and limitations.
He said that lately there had been
a strong agitation for sea level ca.
nal and he believed that the time had
come when the question of type should
be settled and the matter removed
from the domain of controversy.
IL is not fair to the president and
to the executive Offices of the govern
ment, who have this great enterprise
in charge to say to them, Proceed
with the canal, with all the speed you
may" and with another breath to say
that. I'VE have not yet made up our
minds what kind of a canal you shall
build" II is unjust to the subordin.
ates who have gone to the Isthmus TO
give the best years of their lives and
their best efforts TO hamper and en-
barrass them by failing to decide this
question.
Taking his position in front OF the
maps. he called attention to the vital
difference between the two types, and
remarked that when the topography
Is understood 1t would be the very
strongest argument for the lock level
canal
He said "a of the ablest engineers
Of the world were for the lock level
type and he believed their judgment
should be accepted. Mr.. Bartlett, of
Georgia, made a point against the
amendment of Mr.. Littauer He in
sisted that the amendment was clear
ly new Legislation and argued the
question from that premise.
The chairman, Mr.. Watson, of Indi-
ana, held the amendment was in or
der and cries of Vote, vote" we're
heard. Without further discussion the
Littauer amendment was adopted.
Washington. June 16.-If congress
should send a message to President
Roosevelt providing for the construc-
ton Of a sea level canal on the 18TH
mus Of Panama, he would veto II.
This statement Is made by authority.

vide Tor expenditures of S10O,OOO in ex
cess OF last year. whereas the suppl,
half 2 mill GUS off $l10,0 ZOO this Year.
a levy OF five mills as provided for in
this years supply bill will yield, on
the estimated Increased tax valuation
OF s22O. 100000, 100000 less than the
approximations call for even after the
$l2l 900 income from franchises. taxes
and license fees is counted in. The
appropriations this year amount to 81
valuation of $a2o. .00o. 900 plus the sIsl.. ;.
goo will amount to 81 ,22i 600 which is
$4,000 less than the total appropri-
ations.
All of which u.eaus the knocking

gir early in the summer, as It will be
impossible to stave this off until after

tax valuation as last year the deficit
would be 100000.
Tue sentiment the newspapers have
created in backing tbs scheme of
Comptroller Genera, Jones to get
property on the books at more eaui-
table rate has manifested itsel: in de-

per cent. Cherokee from 90 to rs per
cent. and land has been returned in
Anderson County for 90 an acre more
than formerly, the increase In land
values alone there amounting to o mil :
lion dollars.
But since the Legislature refused to
provide flexible leyles, refused to give
its moral support to the campaign for
honest tax returns, it is expected that
in those counties showing decided in
creases the county boards will scale
down the values so as to avoid pay
ing an unjust proportion Of the State
! taxes,
