for their statement that nobody suffers

MANY MILLIONS
FOR The CANAL
Taft Appears Before House
Committee to Explain Need
for Big Appropriation.

Washington. Feb. S-SecretarY Taft ap-
peared before the house committee on aD-
preparations to explain the appropriation
OF S20.OO0J00 which the isthmian canal
commission has asked TO have included
IN the civil sundry appropriation bill.
Much of the general discussion concerned
the proposed canal contract, and Secre-
tary Taft expressed the opinion that the
public generally prefers the contract
system as it believes the government can
do work cheaper in that manner. How
ever. the appropriation will not be af-
fected through the failure TO grant a
contract.
The proposed appropriation is desired
chiefly for the completion of the equip
ment on the isthmus and as the govern
ment purposes furnishing the equipment
TO any contractor IL was explained by
the canal officials that the allowance for
this purpose should be liberal.
AT the hearing il was said that under
the percentage system the contra ctor
would not get percentage on the cost
of supplies or equipment, but only on the
estimated cost of labor necessary to COM
plete the canal. The statement was made
that the cost of labor has been estimated
at So. 200 900. on which basis W. J. Oliver
would be paid s4,2S1.500 by the government
in case the contract were to be awarded
to him on his bid of Go per cent. which
he and his associates have submitted
Neither Secretary Taft or any of the
canal officials discussed the question
whether the contract would be awarded
TO Mr.. Oliver and the contractors asso-
ciated with him. Another hearing on the
canal item will be held tomorrow.
