ti0Hal Emergencies on the Panama
Canal tolls issue. The other day
both spoke in the Senate. both FOR
free tolls, but eacn from different
motives.
Senator Shafroth could see no sun
sidy in exemption. Which is lrex-
pl:cable, since our foreign shipping
must pay tolls while our domestic
shipping goes scot free.
senator Thomas denounced OK
cmption as unWarrauted discriminate
ton under the Hay-Pauncefotc treaty,
but said lie felt himself bound by
the baltimore platform TO vote to
sustain exemption.
There were two planks in the Bal
timore platform bearing directly and
indirectly on the tolls issue. Ono cx-
plicitly favored exemption OF coast
wise shipping That was naked par
tisan eNpedicncy, unworthy OF Demo
cratic craftsmanship and traditions.
The other plank rcafirmed the par
