FIX PANAMA TOLLS
NOV, SAYS COCKTAILS
Tells Committee Canal Will
Be Completed Within
Estimate.

That the Panama canal will be COM
pleted by September, 1913, at a cost of
$3.50, 100000, including all appurte-
nances, and will undoubtedly put the
Tehauntepec route-its only trans
oceanic competitor-out of business.
was the information elected today
from Col. George w. Goethals, head
Of the Panama Commission, by the
House Committee on Interstate Com
merce. In hearing on the Mann bill
to nix tolls for vessels using the canal
Colonel Goethals urged the neccs-
sity for the present Congress fxing
the tolls. on the ground that the
worlds shipping interests demanded
at least eighteen months notice Of
the rates. The International Naviga-
ton Congress. which meets In Lon
don In June, for the purpose of read
justing world rates, will probably
take up the question of the canal,
and Goethals declared 1t imperative
that they at that time have informa-
ton as to the charges to be made by
the Government.

According to present plans, Goethals

1915, ZOO, ,o00-including not only the
canal itself, but machine shops at
Balboa, the Pacific terminal; coal sta
tions at both termini, commissary,
and other supply stations. There have
been no estimates made as yet for a
dry dock, but GoethaIs stated that he
believed 1t also-could be built within
the limit OF cost for the canal.
He asserted that II was necessary
for the Government to control the coal
supply stations, so as to prevent pri-
yate interests, by monopolization Of
fhis supply, indirectly to control the
operation of the canal, through their
rates for fuel. He said that negoti-
atoms were already under way by
certain coal companies looking to IT,
requirement of land for stations.
Members Interested.
Members of the committee were
greatly interested in the progress of
the work on the canal. In response
to questions. Goethals stated that hf-
teer per cent of the matter now ex-
csvated on the canal was due to
slides in the cuts, and that IL was
probable that in the near future as
much as 80 per cent of the excaVa-
tion would be of this character.

ARIZONA'S ORGANIC LAW
RIPE FOR SLAUGHTER.

The people of Arizona have ratified
the constitution submitted to them on
Thursday, and that remarkable instru'
ment now goes to the President and to
Congress for approval. While Congress
will have until the end of the next
session to act on the matter, and the
President will perhaps do nothing until
that body has exercised its privilege,
there can be but little doubt that the
instrument is marked for Executive or
legislative slaughter.
When the Arizona constitution
trainers inserted>a provision for the
recall which included judicial officers
within its terms, they must have re-
allied that they were indulging self
assertion at the grave risk of long
continued status as a Territory.
Probably influenced by the action of
Oklahoma in including in its fundamen-
tai law practically every current fad,
the enabling act by which Arizona and
New Mexico we're granted potential
Statehood was hedged about with the
precaution that it should become effec-
tive only when the constitution to be
adopted was approved by the President
and positively or passiyely indorsed
by Congress. With this well-defined
threat to delay the change of the Ter
ritory into a State, the action of the
convention in recommending an instru-
ment rivaling the novelties recognized
by Oklahoma was more creditable to
the spirit of the lawmakers than to
their sense of discretion. The consti
tuition as adopted is well l-nigh certain
to fail of the necessary Endorsement by
the President, and the work, at the cost
of much time, will all have to be gone
over with again.
As to the clause particularly under
attack-that of the recall-it is the
extension of the principle, rather than
the principle itself, which is specially
Objectionable. So far as executive and
administrative officers are concerned,
practice has seemed to show that the
recall does not result in the constant
and foolish elections which were urged
against it, or that at times it does
not impose a very salutary check upon
the dictator-like attitudes of office
holders. In cases of suspected corrup-
tion it has been used with mark
edly good effect, as evidence the recall
of a corrupt Los Angeles mayor and
the recent recall of a vice -smirched
mayor of Seattle. But to apply the
recall to the bench would be to take a
step utterly offensive to the principle
of government as it is understood in
the United States. 1t would constitute ;,
in effect, a court of appeals where legal
decisions would be reversed by bal
lots-a policy which the people of this
country do not wish to indorse even
indirectly, as they would seem to do
by agreeing to such a provision in
Arizona's constitution.

High School Teachers
Receive Longevity Pay

More than 200 high school teachers to-
day received checks for their longevity
pay, as provided fo- under an act Of
Congress passed last MAY.
Hereafter the longevity pay will be
included on the monthly pay checks.
Some Of the pay received today is for
services performed as far back as MAY,
1910. The DELAY occurred because of tine
time required in computing each teach
er's standing as based on years of ser
vice. previous experience, age, and class
of work done.
A number of protests. it is under
fication and these will be taken I'D by
the BOARD Of Education at It's meeting
