Need $50, 600, 900 a Year.

Testifying before the committee on the
isthmus Col. Goethals. chief engineer In
charge of the work, estimated that the
aggregate direct expense for the opera
ton and maintenance Of the canal. in
GLIDING the government Of the Canal
Zone. would be $2s,O0O 900 a year. This
sum would include ST., 600 900 interest on
the $4OO.OOOOOO the government will ex-
pend In the construction of the canal;
81, O0O, 600 a year for the cost of the &C.
tual operation; about $4,000, 600 for mill
tary protection Of the Canal Zone, the
military force to consist of six regiments
of infantry, three batteries Of field ar
tillery and eight companies Of coast ar
tilery, in addition to various auxiliary
forces. The naval contingent will con-
sist of about 200 marines. which, with
the other auxiliary forces just referred
to. would cost about $4,000, COO more
So much for the direct expense yearly.
Army and navy officers intimate quite
clearly that the indirect expense, in the
course of time. will be quite as great as
the direct expense, and that means that
the government Is face to face with the
proposition to appropriate every year
something like $6O.OOOOOO in order to
maintain the canal, when completed, at
the highest state Of working efficiency.

House Committee Against

NEED $2s, 100000 ANNUALLY
And Indirect Expenses, It Is Fig
ured, Will Make Yearly Outlay
Total $50, ooo, 600.

There will be great difficulty in obtain
ing legislation providing that American
shipping is to use the Panama canal
without the payment of tolls, and the
weight Of the House committee on inter-
state and foreign commerce will be
thrown. almost unanimously, against the
free toll proposition.
That committee recently returned from
an inspection Of the canal and from the
taking of testimony on the isthmus
bearing on the toll question. The testi-
mony in due time will be published for
the use of Congress. and then the ques-
ton Of tolls will be on In earnest The
interstate and foreign commerce commit
tee has jurisdiction over this and other
questions relating to the canal. and 1t is
confidently asserted that the committee
bill, which will appear during the winter.
will provide that American vessels are
to pay the same tolls as are to be
charged the vessels OF other countries.
There must be legislation on this i'm
portant question during the present ses-
sion of Congress, in view of the COM
paratively early opening of the canal
and 1t Is for that reason that the COM
mittee visited Panama during the holi-
day recess
