Washington, Feb. 20.-In the sun

to the house the president is author
lied to make contracts for the con-
struetion of the Panama canal, and he
is left absolutely unrestricted as. to
the amount of money to be expend-

The bill provides that nothing con-
tanned in section Of the act of June
28, 1902, entitled An act to provide
for the construction of the canal con-
Meeting the waterways or the Allan
tic and Pacific oceans, shall prevent
the president from entering into such
contract or contracts as may be deem
ed expedient by him for the compile
ton of the construction of the Pana-
ma canal"
This section thus empowers him
to make contracts to complete the
waterways, whether it costs one hun

struction and the entire administra-
ton is left with the president and the
canal commission. No contractor
would take the canal work on a re-
stricted appropriation and congress
was thus forced to give the presi-
dent unlimited authority to make con-
tracts or devise some other plan for
digging the canal
The recent conferences between
Secretary Taft, members of the canal
commission, and the subcommittee Of
the appropriations committee, is thus
given a special significance. Incl
dentally this will mean an additional
bonus for the contractor. If he COM
pletes the specified work at a cost be-
low the amount of the appropriation,
he will receive an additional percen-
tage. If the total cost OF construc-
ton is increased, he will receive,
since he is performing work on a per-
centage of the total cost, much lar
ger amount than originally contem-
plated.
