Washington. Feb. 9.-Secretary Taft
appeared before the house committee
on appropriations to explain the appro-
priation of 100000 which the Pana-
ma canal commission has asked TO
have included in the civil sundry an
preparation BILL now under considera-
ton. Much of the general discussion
before the committee concerned the
proposed canal contract, and Secretary
Taft expressed the opinion that the
public generally prefers the contract
system, as it believes tho government
can do the work cheaper In that way.
Percentage System Explained.
1t was said that under thepercentag
system in the contract now under con-
slderation the contractor would not get
percentage on the cost of supplies
or equipment, but only on the esti-
mated cost of labor necessary TO COM
plete the canal. In this amount would
be included the clerical labor, as well
as the wage of the men actually build
/ ing the canal A statement was made
! that the cost Of labor has been esti-
mated at S65,O00.O00, on which basis
W. j. Oliver would be paid 81 49,. 800
| by the government in case the con-
tract were to be awarded TO him on
the bid Of 6.T5 per cent. which he and
his associates have submitted.
Shonts Surprised About Stevens.
Chairman Shonts, Of the isthmian
canal commission, has returned TO
| Washington. He unquanhedly ex-
pressed himself in favor of building
the canal by contract. lie said that
the great advantage accruing there
from would be the witnessing Of imme-
date results. Contractors. he said,
have solved the labor problem. They
can get what they want and we can
only get what is left. Then, again, in
constructing the canal they could bring
/ into play their vast combined expert
ence, skill and organization" Shonts
/ said he was much surprised TO read
the statement that Chief Engineer Stew
ems had indicated his intention to re-
sign should the work be done by con-
tract. He said that Stevens always
had favored the contract plan, and only
recently had written him commencing
/ the idea in the strongest possible terms
The building Of the canal by contract
said Shonts, could not possibly inter.
fere with Stevens, because his authorI
ty would be supreme, and the con
tract so expressly provides.
