organized business generally, while

politics stands confused in front Of the

sanity demands the amendment nf the

radical nor the conservative in politics

the attempt to 1egislate solely against

SENATOR PERCY NOT IN
FAVOR OF FREE TOLLS
BY Associated Press.


Washington, July 23.-"I do not be-
lieve we should give free tolls through
the Panama canal to our shipping
either coastwise or International" de-
clared Senator Percy, of Mississippi
In speech today in the senate.
He said he did not believe the Hay
Pauneeforte treaty with Great Britain
permitted the United States to dis
crirainate against foreign shipping in
the interest of American commerce.
s Senator Percy said the neutrality of
the canal had been guaranteed by the
United States in return for Great
Britain's surrender of her protest
rights against its fortification.
He declared the United States could
not claim under the British treaty
the right to give favors to its own
shippers. If such a provision had
been made a part of the treaty, he
said, it would have been instantly re-
jected' by Great Britain.
1t has been said we cannot get a
fair trial at The Hague court" said
Senator Percy. IF we were to pre-
sent to any court the claim that we
were entitled to, these privileges un
der the treaty, we could not escape
the charge on the part of all nations
that we were making a disreputable
attempt to evade our just obliga-
ticns"
Senator Percy thought the United
States enjoyed practically no privt-
leges under the Hay Paunceforte
treaty which it did not have to share
with the world.

TAFT INDICATES HE FAVoRS
REPEAL OF RECIPROCITY BILL

Washington, July 23.-President Taft
has indicated to several western SEN
ators who were active opponents of
Canadian reciprocity that he would IA
Vor a repeal of the act.
MIR. Taft viii not withdraw his own
support Of Canadian reciprocity as a
principle, it is understood. but will
take the position that the United
States should not continue an offer
that Canada refuses to accept The
reciprocity law continues in effect in
the United States. Notwithstanding
Canada's refusal to endorse it,
Senators McCumber, Hepburn.
Gronna and others have urged a re-
real and an amendment was put on
the steel tariff BILL recently passed by
congress and now in conference. pro-
viding for such action.
1t is asserted among western sena-
tors that If any tariff measure is
PASSED in the senate this week, an
amendment viii also be Incorporated
for the repeal Of the reciprocity law.
In case any one Of these bills reaches
the president and IS vetoed. It is ex-
rected he will make clear in his veto
message the fact that he would ap-
prove measure to repeal the reel
procity law.

Washington, July 23.-Taft's tariff
board secured a promise Of another
year Of life from the senate today.
After a short fight the body author
lied. in the sundry civil appropria-
ton BILL the expenditure of $225,0OO
for another years work of investi-
cation by the tariff experts.
The Democrats opposed the pro-
vision with but three exceptions, while
the regular and progressive Republt-
cans united in it's support. The board
is made more subseryient to con-
gress, however, by an amendment re-
quiring that the E0ard report to con-
Eress once a year.
The senate expects to conclude the

Washington, July 2S.-The postofnce
appropriation bill, shorn of the good
roads provision proposed by the house,
and embracing a revised parcels post
system with charges based on zones of
distance were reported to the senate
today by the postoffice committee.
The total appropriations proposed
by the bill are above those of the
house measure which carried approx
nateIy $2O,00O,0 900. One of the prin-
cipal increases is in the pay Of rail-
roads for transporting mails, the SEN
ate committee adding more than
$2,50o,000.
In striking out the Shackelford good
roads feature of the house bill, which
provided for federal improvement OF
highways, the senate committee rec
ommends an investigation by a special
commission of three house members
and three senators and provides for
no highway improvements until this
commission has reported.
The Barnhart amendment in the
house bill for the regular publica-
ton of the names Of the stockholders
of newspapers and periodicals Is
changed to provide for publication
once a year when lists of the stock
holders are required to be filed with
local postmasters.
The parcels post section is radically
different from that Incorporated in the
house bill, which provided a fiat rate
of postage for all distances. The
senate provision Is that of the Bourne
BILL slightly modified. Senator Bourne
recommended that third and fourth
parcels post service, but the bill makes
fha most anT1u opIU ~ f0Y1rf n
class matter.
The senate committee struck out Of
the house bill the provision giving to
postal employees the right to combine
in labor unions and the right to petit
tion congress for redress of their
grievances.
1t also provided for the abolishment
Of the present system of carrying sec
ond class mail by fast freight under
what is known as the blue tag" sys-
tenn. Under the senate bill all second
class mail would be put back into the
regular mail cars after August 81.
Steel cars for railway mail ser
vice which were required by the house
bill are also demanded by the senate
measure.
Senator Gardner, Of Maine, launched
an attack upon the measure and
counseled the senate to adopt the plan
already approved by the house
Senator Gardner declared the senate
committee on postoffices had been un-
fair TO a parcels post bill he had in
troduced and denounced the Bourne
plan as a ''mockery." He criticized
it's limitations and declared its effect
would be to give the railroads higher
incomes for postal shipment than they
now enjoy from express packages.
Senator Gardner declared II would
cost more to operate the Bourne par
cells post plan the first year than to
buy out the express companies. He
recommended that the properties, con-
tracts and business of the companies
be taken over by the government.
