HOUSE BILL SUSPENDS
FREE TOLLS ON CANAL
Representative Adamson Warts Two
Years Operation Without
Show Of Favor.
GIVES POWER TO PRESIDENT

A joint resolution providing for the
suspension for a period of two years Of
the free tolls provision OF the Panama
Canal act was introduced in the House
yesterday just before the holiday recess,
by Representative Adamson, author of
the Panama Canal bill and chairman of
the Committee on Interstate and For
eign Commerce.
The joint resolution stipulates that the
President shall suspend for two years the
granting of free tolls to American ves-
sells engaged in the coastkise trade. 1t
is further provided that ''at any time
after the Panama Csnal shall have been
opened and successfully operated for two
years, il, in the judgment of the Presi-
dent, the revenues derived from tolls Of
vessels other than those engaged in the
coastwise trade shall be sufficient to de-
fray the cost of maintaining and operat-
ing the canal, and If all diplomatic con-
ditions or changes of traffic at the canal
shall have been adjusted, then. the Presi-
dent is authorized to issue an executive
order declaring such suspended exemption
of the full force and effect. From the
date of such executive order the exemp-

CONFERENCE IS Held
ON WATER CONTROL
-Four Members Of Cabinet viii En-
deavor to Develop Some
Definite Policy.
DATA WILL BE GATHERED

At the suggestion of President Wilson,
the heads of four executive departments
having to do with the control or con-
servation OF water in the United States
met yesterday afternoon for the purpose
Of ascertaining IL cooperation between
the branches Of the government con-
cerning water could not be brought
about. 1t is thought likely that out of
the conferences, of which this was the
first, there may be developed a definite
policy regarding the waters of the United
States.
The Cabinet members attending the
conference, which was held in the office
of Secretary of War Garrison, were, in
addition to the Secretary of War, Secre-
tsry of the Interior Lane, Secretary of
Agriculture Houston, and Secretary of
Commerce Redfield. They were accom-
panied by bureau chiefs and others i'm
mediately in charge of the work in the
several departments pertaining to water.
Senators Newlands, of Nevada, and
Ransdell. of Louisiana, also were pres
ent. having been invited as leading ex-
ponents of two different ideas regarding
water policy which have received much
attention from Congress.
The chief object sought at this time
is to gather and compile data showing
exactly what the different departments
actually do with respect to water, and
then examining this for evidences of
duplication of effort or conflict of pur-
pose. and to work out a scheme for a
of co-operatiaa,

in Closing-hour Executive
Session.
MEMBERS START HOME

The Senate and the House took a re-
cess yesterday untfl noon on January L.
This Will give three weeks vacation,
lacking one day, and it is expected that
the lawmakers will return to their duties,
refreshed and ready to tackle the trust
question and legislation for the revision
OF the banking laws. Most OF the Sena-
tors and Representatives went to their
homes last night or will go today
The number of absentees, even before
the recess was taken, was indicated by
the large number of pairs announced on
the final vote in the two Houses on the
currency bill.
In the Senate the closing hours were
characterized by an executive session and
a frantic struggle to obtain the confirma-
ton of nominations. President Wilson
sought to gladden. the hearts of Senators
and Representatives by sending in big
batch of nominations for postmasters at
midnight. number Of other nominal
tions came in.
Nearly All Nominations Go Over.
At the outset Senator Galliger took a
stand against the confirmation of any
nominations for postmasters that had
not been referred to a committee and
favorably acted on. except those offices
in the home cities of Senators. AS a re-
suit, practically all of the nominations
made by the President for postmasters
went over until after the holidays. Strong
effort was made to induce the President
to send to the Senate additional nomi-
nations in the closing hours. He made
an effort to comply with this request to
some extent and there were three differ
ent patches of nominations sent in dur
ing the day.
The adjournment Of the Senate for the
holidays was taken behind the closed
doors OF an executive session.

vessels He opposes free tolls for these
vessels and believes two-yeaT suspen-
sion of the free tolls provision will

LANE urges new
ALASKAN POLICY
Administrative Board Of Con-
troll Suggested by In
terror Secretary.
SAME PLAN FOR WEST
Land to the North, Little Considered,
Has Added $500, ,OOO, 900 to the
the Wealth of United States.

Outlining a proposed land policy for
Alaska, which includes an administrative
board having charge of al the national
resources of the territory, the annual re-
port of Secretary of the Interior Franklin
X. Lane was made public yesterday
Fully half of the twenty-six pages in
the report deal with the Alaskan situa-
tion, which in the opinion of the Secre-
tary is of the utmost Importance to the
country. The withdrawal of lands in
Alaska and their reservation by the gov
ernment, following the discovery of natu-
raj resources had precluded the develop
ment which should have taken place in
the territory, according to the Secretary.
The report says:
THE largest body of unused and neg
lected land in the United States is Alas
ka. II is now nearly half a century
since We purchased this territory, and il
contains today less than 1000 white in
habitants. less than loo for each year it
has been in our possession. The pur-
chase was made as a means of protection
against the possible aggression of a for
eign nation, and without the hope that it
would be even self-supporting. In the
intervening forty-six years we have given
il little more than the most casual con-
Germ, yet its mines, fisheries, and furs
alone have added to our wealth the grand
sum of 500. .oOO!OOo.'
Congress to Grant Powers.
Proceeding to his plan for a more prop
er development of Alaskan resources, the
Secretary says:
In my judgment the way to deal with
the problem of Alaskan resources is to
establish a board of directors to have
this work in charge. Into the hands of
this board or commission 1 would give
all the national assets in that territory,
to be used primarily for her improve
ment-her lands, fisheries, Indians. Eski-
mos, seals. forests mines waterways,
railroads.&c. that the nation owns cares
for, controls. or regulates. Congress
should determine in broad outline the
policies which this board in a liberal dis
cretion should administer, much as is
done to the Philippines. This board
would, of course, have nothing whatever
to do with the internal affairs of the or
ganized Territory of Alaska, for it would
exercise no powers save such as Congress
granted over the property of the United
States in Alaska"
Same Policy for West.
According to the Secretary, the plan of
opening the vast lands OF Alaska to the
public should be pursued under a leas-
ing and royalty plan similar to that un-
der which the State of Minnesota leases
its ore lands, and the States of Colorado
and Montana their coal lands These
plans provide that any lands leased must
be developed and not merely held for an
The Washington herald., 1913-12-24

increase in value as has been the case in
Alaska and with timber and coal and
mining lands in many OF our Western
States.
The Secretary would also extend this
plan to the petroleum, phosphate and
potash beds in our Western States, and
to the lands suitable for agriculture. The
money derived from the leasing of such
lands should be turned back into them
in a great many cases in the form of
power sites and irrigation projects, while
the government still retains the title to
them. This plan, the Secretary believes,
would effectively put a check to the mo-
nopolization of our resources, by giving
the small promoter a chance to acquire
a property under a lease, such as would
not entail the expenditure of a large
amount Of money, and by making every
so acquired a productive prop
