ADAMSON FIRES HOT SHOT
IN CANAL TOLLS BATTLE
Three Separate Minority Reports
Showered Into Hopper Of
the House.

While three separate minority reports
on the subject of Panama canal tolls
we're showered into the hopper at the
Speakers desk in the House yesterday
afternoon protesting against a repeal Of
the exemption clause In the Panama
canal act. Representative Adamson. lead
er Of the repeal fight in the House, took
a characteristic shot at the statements
that government vessels would be COM
PEELED to pay tolls II the Sims bill is
enacted. His statement is:
The most monstrous perversion Of the
truth sine Ananias expiated his dere-
LECTION as to veracity and the most fool
ish piece of folly enunciated since fools
were discovered. is the false statement
going through the lingo press to the eff
feet that the Sims bill requires the off,
cial vessels belonging to the United
States to pay tolls.

Twenty Different Quarters.

The government uses in whole and
in part twenty different quarters on
which it pays rent for the use Of the
Agricultural Department. OF these
twenty different quarters thirteen are
used in whole The total rental paid for
these thirteen quarters is s67,194. The
assessed valuation of these properties
as same appears upon the tax books is
S435.s44. Assuming that this amount
represents two-thirds of the whole
value, then the full value would be
1851, 766. and this. compared with the
rental of $67.194. shows a gross income
to the owners of these buildings of 10
per cent plus
'All the buildings mentioned are leased
upon annual leases with the exception of
the building at 22l Linworth place south
west, uron which the government has a
lease of six years"
Representative Anderson of Minnesota
urged the House to do away with rented
buildings. He said that the present ar
rangement Is far from economical
1T is situation" he said, under
which we are purchasing the old rattle
traps now rented by the government
many of them Ill suited for the purposes
of the department, and paying for them
in gross every ten years 1t would be
much better to use the credit Of the gov
eminent to purchase buildings and turn
them over to the department, because in
that way we could not only economize
but we could furnish buildings suitable
and convenient for the purposes of the
department"
