have decided to amend the Payne bill by in
creasIng materially the authorization of Pan

step will be- taken the recommendation OF
the Secretary of the Treasury. who believes he
can dispose Of larger issue to greater advan-

thorized by the bill reported.
Secretary MacVeagh has also suggested 10
the leaders that he receive authority to defray
the expenses of the canal from the general reve-
riues as long as he deems desirable. but that
he be empowered to sell the larger issue when
ever he finds conditions for such sale most ia
vorable.
The sinking fund provision will set apart a
portion of the receipts of the canal as a fund
to redeem the issue. One object in taking this
step thus early is to check the agitation in favor
of making passage through the canal free 1t
