fled check for 100000 is required with

bidder
Not Limited to Americans.
The bidding is not limited to Ameri-
can contractors All proposals are to

cost of construction, which is to be
fixed by board of five engineers. three
representing the government and two
representing the contractor The chief
engineer of the canal commission is to
be chairman of the engineering board.

mate reasonable time for the compile

New Plan Is Defended.
In support of the commission posi-
ton that the canal can be contracted
to greater advantage than it can be
built by the government, Mr. Shonts'
letter says that because of the I'M
and greatly extended in
dustrial activity of the time. and the
consequent violent competition for all
classes of superintendent. foremen,
subcontractors, skilled mechanics, and
even ordinary laborers, it would take

ficiency those now controlled by the

of the resolutions introduced before the

The latter two were favored by the
committee. while the former two were
laid on the table.
John r. HaIler declared he favored
the adoption of a resolution recommend

cussiOn followed. in which J. Z. COwles

favored il in a modified form, the latter
declaring the congressman from his
district wouldn't be there if il WASH;

asked. Are YOU not getting good seTv-

he would bring it up in the convention.

The first resolution introduced was
that favoring a parcels post, and the
committee adopted it. asking congress

In 1908 the congress was placed on
record as favOTing a postal savings

reaffirmed the action of that conyen-
tion.

tion of United States senators by the
direct vote of the people was quickly
passed.
The only other matter of Importance
that came before the committee was
the suggestion that the liquor traffic be
regulated. and the sale of fiery bever |
ages be licensed in the United States. |
There were two such resolutions, but
both were tabled. The committee re-
ceiyed an invitation TO hold future meet |
