Controversy Concerning Canal Tolls
Pigeon-holed But Is Not Yet

With Tariff and Currency to

UNITED PRESS LEASED WIRE. |

UNITED PRESS LEASED WIRE
Washington, June 2S.-The reading
lpublic may recall tnat a year ago, OF
somewhere thereabouts, there was a
little fuss with Great Britain about
those Panama canal tolls. Most folks
have probably forgotten about the mat
ter. The newspapers haven't been
printing "first-page stuff" about it
for some time. One would think that
the question had been sidetracked.
1t hasn't however. The state de.
partuent tape still entwines Great
Britain's notes. President Wilson has
The controversy down in his memor
anlcrn book. 1t is still pending-an
will, in all probability, be pending
when the big waterway is completed,
sometime in October or November.
The tolls dispute may be settled di
Dramatically. 1t may be disposed Of
| by leaders of the senate and house col
laborating on scheme to repeal the
provision to which Great Britain Oh
jects-that granting American vessels
free passage through the canal, There
are several other modes Of settlement
but all will take long time. Diplo-
macy is necessary a slow and cautious
method. Red tape is found nowhere
in such liberal quantities or is used so
extensively at the state department.
And the present session of congress
will be devoted exclusively to the tar
iff and currency, according to present
plans.
Nevertheless there are several con.
gressional leaders who plan to bring
the Panama tolls controversy up this
session, if they possibly can. The
house interstate and foreign commerce
committee has several bills before it
touching on the matter. Representa-
tive Adamson Of Georgia, chairman of
the committee, has already directed
that his committee members study the
question thoroughly, in order to be
ready for work. Adamson is unalter-
ably opposed to the free tolls plan. He
fought it bitterly in the house, being
the only Democratic member of his
committee to present an adverse report
to the Panama measure. The Georgian
thinks congress will now repeal the OBJ
lectionable paragraph. He points out
that the section was passed by the
scant majority Of sixteen in the last
congress, and he believes since that
time the legislators have had time to
figure out that its operation would be

LOBBYISTS, INSIDIOUS AND
OTHERWISE DISCUSSED.
San Francisco Examiner.

Thus far the sOul-searching senators
who are testifying before the senate
subcommittee in Washington have fail
ed to reveal any sign of the "numer-
Gus, industrious and insidious lobby"
that President Wilson charged with
being at work in their solemn midst.
1t may be that the President 8 def.
milton Of lobbyist differs from that
of the senators. 1t may even be that
a lobbyist, even though he be numer.
Gus and industrious, , is not insidious,
and is entitled to ply his calling among
the legislators, despite the Presidential
wrath which he invokes by doing 50.
According to the Century Diction.
ary, a lobbyist is Zone who frequents
halls of legislation and makes pro-
tession of influencing legislation, or
attempting to influence legislation. 1"
Some such miscreants as these doubt.
less are now in Washington but ac.
cording to the testimony of senators,
most of the attempts to influence leg.
islation, aside from those Of the Pres.
ident and the secretary Of state, are
made by men directly interested in the
legislation they are attempting to in.
fluence.
For example among the men who are
now in Washington for the purpose
Of molding congressional opinion are
numerous sugar growers Of Louisiana
and wool growers of the West These
men do not hesitate to say that their
business will be ruined by the passage
Of the tariff as it stands. Not being
particularly eager to have their busi.
ness ruined, they have come to their
senators and congressman to see If
something cannot be done to keen il
from being ruined And daily they
take advertising space in newspapers,
for which they pay regular rates. to
set forth their case as it looks to them.
Are these men lobbyistsi According
to the President they are, and insidious
lobbyists at that.
But what about the PRESIDENT On
several occasions he has gone to the
Capitol and button.holed legislators to
state his side of the tariff question. Is
the President then, lobbyist
Mr. Wilson would probably deny the
charge hotly. Yet whore is the differ.
ence' Mr. Wilson 8 business is being
President, and he believes that that
business will be best served by the
pending tariff The sugar growers and
the wool growers and the others are in
the business Of raising sugar and wool,
and they believe that their business
will be worst served by the pending
tariff.
