WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-Senator
Guggenheim, of Colorado, is in favor
of state appropriation by Colorado
for an exhibit at San Diego's Panama
exposition in 1918.
81 am in favor of anything that
will advance the interests of the
west said Senator Guggenheim to
your correspondent, "and of course T
am in favor of exhibiting at the San
Diego exposition, as that can not fail
to benefit the state of Colorado
Like other new eommunities-and
Colorado is essentially new-that
state needs Drawn as well as brain to
bring its resources to the light of day.
Senator Guggenheim, who has been
among the foremost to aid in develop
ing the states resources and whose
course in congress has been consist
emily that of a builder, wants to do
still more to let the world know what
a great state he represents in the
United States senate, and he is going
to advocate the making of state ex-
hibit at San Diego with that end in
view.
1T is well that your exposition in
tends to feature irrigation said the
Senator, "for Colorado is increasing
her wealth by that means and it will
in time draw great riches from the
soil with the aid of scientific irriga-
tion. But / could talk long to you
about the resources of Colorado. Col.
Collier and his associates have my full
support in their great work. Just say
that / am San Diego exhibit
State With One Senator.
Until last week Colorado had but
one senator to represent her This
had been the case ever since the
death of Senator Hughes. Senator
Guggenheim has been working hard to
take care of the interests of his con-
stituents here in Washington, and he
seems to have succeeded very well,
but now the state has flied Senator
Hughes place and the duties will be
shared by the new man.
Root on the Canal.
Senator Root made speech on Jan
uary 2lst, in which he defended the
position of England on the question
of free tolls through the Panama canal
for American shipping.
Senator Root commands attention
when ever he takes the floor to speak
by reason of his reputation as a keen,
logical thinker. There are many. how
ever, and among them men whose rep
utation for legal knowledge is very
high, who differ from Senator Root on
this question. They hold that the
United States is under necessity only
of granting England the same privi-
leges that are granted any other for
ain nattnu anA +baxr hot
word foreign. They hold that it were
absurd to think that this country
would stultify itself by unreservedly
giving away its birthright to manage
its own affairs.
Holding UP Nominations.
No matter how important the bust
ness before congress may be, there is
nothing that so interests the public at
large as the handing out of Federal
pie. Not that so many people are ask
ing for a hunk of il, although the
members of congress who find their
daily mail burdened with petitions for
jobs are tempted TO think so. It's just
popularity of most folks that they
wonder who will get all the good jobs
that are to be distributed. That 3
why the determination of the senate
to hold up combinations of the presi-
dent s nominations has aroused so
much interest. There's a deadlock
over it and unless the Democrats are
given some concessions they threaten
not to allow any of the names to go
through during this entire session. OF
course this makes the cold chills creep
along the spinal columns of large
number of very excellent gentlemen
and few more worthy ladies who
are perfectly acceptable to the presi-
dent, but who seem unable to get past
the senate Instructions.
Another Line to Expand.
Mention has been made in this cor
respondenee before now of the com
petition between ocean steamship
lines to get part of the business that
will follow the opening of the Panama
canal. Another big line, it is report
ed, is building ships with the intention
of extending its lines from Europe
through the canal to San Diego and
San Francisco, and Asia. This is the
famous North German Lloyd, a giant
among maritime carriers and as ener-
getic as it is powerful Representa-
tives of the company have expressed
much interest in the plans of the gov
ernment to improve the harbor of
over its bar to 80 or 40. The govern
ment engineers are understood to fa-
vor dredging the bar to 40 feet.
Tariff Talk.
"You were talking about the ulti-
mate consumer said Congressman
Ollie James of Kentucky to Congress-
man Fordney of Michigan. "Who is
