IL is said that Great Britain and
the other nations have the same
rights to the use of the canal that
the United States has. II that be
so, what compensation does the
United States derive from the In
Yestment of $4O0,0OO,0O0l
The free canal means encourage
ment to Independent shlpbuilders
TO construct vessels to engage in
the Canal trade and thus develop
an important American industry.
II is idle talk Of national honor
when we seek TO meet unfOunded
demands by inflicting injustice and
dishOnOr upon our own people.
This question Of tolls is but an
incident in a great contest, now In
its initial stage, which may deter
mine the control of the Panama
Canal for all time.

A BRIGHTER OUTLOOK.

T,HERE is a brighter outlook for Methodist Epis-
copal preachers. The board of bishops Of that
church has approved the plan to raise fund Of So,
100000 for the support Of those members Of the
clergy who have become superannuated too old
to work It is the purpose to the $5OOOOOO for the
establishment Of permanent pension fund The
plan has been under consideration for several years
Now that Il has received the approval Of the board OF
bishops It soon should be put into effect
Comparatively few Methodist preachers receive
salaries large enough to enable them lay aside
petencies for in old That fact is recognized
by most Methodists It should prove powerful lever
in accomplishing the work Of raising the S500OO0O
There already are 5000 superannuated preachers on
the pension list Of the church. They receive from
$iO5 to $6O5 year. The s5,OOO,OOO fund not only will
enable the church to make material increases in such
small allowances to those already superannuaed but
also permit IL TO make the future attractive to
those who, in few years will become superannuated.

Former Chief Forester De clares Exchange of Land With Railr ads W a S Made Years Before He Assumed Office

WASHINGTON. March 14.-In reply to the criticism of the chief foresters alleged attitude toward the acquisition of certain lands by the Santa F'e and Northern Pacific Railroads, made by Representative Humphrey of Washing ton, Clifford Pinchot gave out a state ment today, in which he declared the exchange of lands with the Santa Fe was made several years before he took charge of the national forests. He said the exchange was managed entirely by the department of the interior, while he was identified with the department of agriculture. He said he presumed there was as little basis for Humph- reys charges in the Great Northern case, as in the Santa Fe.
 The statement says in part:

Prof. Emory R. Johnson of Pennsylvania Says Fail ure to Repeal Clause Means Heavier Burdens for Taxpayers
SHOULD BE
 SELF-SUPPORTING
Question is Raised in Con gress if It Would Not Be Necessary Under Amend ment for American War ships to Pay Tolls
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcH]


 NEW YORK, March 1.-The eX- emption of coastwise shipping using the Panama Canal from payment of tolls would mean a loss for the first lO years of $20,0O0,000, Professor Elm ory R. Johnson of the University of Pennsylvania declared tonight at I banquet here. This loss. he said, would have to be borne by the tax payers of the United States.
 Professor Johnson was appointed special United States commissioner of Panama traffic and tolls by Former President Taft. and served as such in l9l1-1913.
 ITO enable the canal to carry itself commercially without being d con- tinous burden upon the taxpayers of the country" Professor Johnson said in his address. it would be necessary to secure revenues of $19,250.000 per annum. This total is made up of S3.500, 900 for annual maintenance and operation; $500.000 for zone sanita- tion and government $250,000 pay able as an annuity to the Republic of Panama; s11,250O0O to cover in NtAtSl dl Bti NCAl. tii Fpi'sV"'s''N invested in the canal, and S3,750, 900 to provide a sinking fund of 1 per cent. to return to the treasury the cost of the canal during the next 90 years.
 This revenue must be secured mainly from the tolls collected from vessels that use the canal If all the vessels paid tolls the revenue of the canal at the end of 10 years would cover the annual outlay for operating expenses and charges upon capital. If the owners of the American ships engaged in the coastwise trade are excused from the payment of tolls. the revenues will not suffice to make the canal self supporting To exempt coastwise ships from the payment of tolls means a decrease of at least $20.000,000 in revenue during the first 10 years and means the addition ot that amount to the burdens to be carried by the taxpayers of the coun- try.
 Adherence of sound business pIin- ciples in the management of the canal is predicted by business pru-
 
 neutrality in the management of the canal is the larger question involving our relations to foreign countries. From 1859 to August "A. 1912. the United States adhered strictly to the doctrine of neutrality in the use of an isthmian canal by all nations on terms of equality. There can be no doubt that it was the intention of those who negotiated the Hay Tauncefote treaty to pledge the United States to continued adherence to the principle of equal use of the Panama Canal by citizens and sub jects of all nations and the United States is obligated by every consid- : .ration of national honor to observe the spirit as well as the letter of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty.

Two Towns in Southern Russia Are Inundated by Waters of Sea of Azov Accompanied by Severe Hurricane
fAssortArEn PRESS pIsPArcHl

EKATINODAR, Russia, March H. More than one thousand persons per ished in the inundation of the towns of Stanitza and Achtyrskaja, by tidal wave from the sea of Azov. The wave struck the towns during a violent hur- ricane which swept the province of Ku- ban.
 More than 150 were aiso drowned in the floods in Yazenkaja.
 The towns Stanitza, AchtyrskaJa and Yaznkaja, do not appear on any avail able maps, and are probably small places bordering on the sea of Azov. The province of Kuban, in which the stricken towns are located, is in south ern Russia and has a coast line on both the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov.
 The population of the province ag- gregates about two million, of whom two -fifths are Cossacks. The country is extremely fertile and is extensively used in the culture of grain. Cattle (Continued on Page Six)
