THE DoLLARcAL LID REMOVED

The provision of the sundry civil
bill relating to the Panama canal
removes all limit to the cost of that
project. 1t says that ''nothing
contained in the act of June 1902,
shall prevent the president from
entering into such contract or con
tracts as may be deemed expe-
dent by him for the completion of
the canal"
That act provided for the pay
mentIof $40, 1000, 900 for the prop
erty, rights and franchises of the
French company and authorized
the president to enter into contract
or contracts for the completion of
the canal at a coast not to exceed
$135, 100000.
At that time the Panama route
was substituted for that of Nicara-
qua upon the hypothesis that, allow
ing $4,000, 900 for the interests of
the company, the canal could be
completed for $135, 900, 900;
whereas, it was estimated that the
Nicaragua canal would cost $780,
900, 900.
The situation has changed
materially since that time. In ad-
dition to forty millions, ten were
paid to the Republic of Panama
and since that time the total
payments on account lof the canal
have gone considerably beyond
500, 000,OO without any material
progress being made in the direc-
ton of construction. No one be- |
lieves now that the canal can be
completed at a less total cost than !
$500, 100000.

INJUSTICE TO The aAazoADs

All over this country the cry
goes up that the rail goads are not
supplying cars in Sufficient quaint.
ties to move the/ freight offered.
The railroads fare charged with
making no EFFORT to remedy the
situation. They are being told
they SHOULD buy more cars, more
LOCOMOTIVES, enlarge their termi-
nals(and double track, if necessary.
doubtless some railroads have
not been as far seeing as they
might have been. Doubtless, also,
there are exasperating delays in
shipments, and occasionally little
real effort is made by some rail
roads to expedite matters.
But it is safe to say that, gener
ally speaking, none deplores con-
ditions more than the railroads. If
they had the facilities there would
be more freight handled and more
earnings. The railroad managers
know this as well as those who
berate them.
Most of the roads are doing
what they can to remedy matters.
They are ordering cars and locomo-
tives. enlarging their terminals
and putting down trackage where
eyer possible.
But with hostile legislation in
many State Legislatures, investors
are becoming frightened, and
difficulty is now being met in get
ting the money for betterments. If
the Nation and the States would
cease their war on the railroads,
money would be forthcoming for
rolling stock and trackage.
But under present conditions the
roads are between the devil and
the deep blue sea. On one side they
are damned because they do not
haul the freight, and on the other
they are refused money for better
ments, because of capitals timidity
in the face of adverse legislation,
Federal and State.
Is it not time to call halt, and
give these great arteries of COM
merce a chance for their white
alley? The Nation cannot prosper
ifithandicaps its greatest industry.
