his administrations had not been ex-
travagant, that they had not increased

causes which had brought about the
high taxes but as TO that the srgu-
ments were not convincing. the facts
remain that enormous state taxes
have had TO be paid under McGovern.

FOR REPEAL OF TOLLS ExEMP.

Washington. Secretary Bryan, In
views at length the Panama tolls
question, and in the course Of the
statement declares that the repeal Of
the tolls exemption in the Panama
canal act cannot be construed to be
u construction of the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty. but is simply refusal on
the part of the United states to raise
that question in that way
Mr.. Bryan discussed various fea.
lures of the SUBJECTIVE limiting of
debate In the house of representa-
tives, the Baltimore platform and the
effect of repeal on the treaty.
Claiming that the opponents of the
repeal had seized upon the charge
that the president was "surrendering
20 England" Mr.. Bryan declared that
the opposition to the repeal had at
tempted to appeal ito prejudice
rather than to reason"
What has Great Britain done" he
asked. ito justify the accusation that
she IL trying to dictate to this coun.

TO the terms of the treaty and asked
for arbitration of the question, In
case this government differs from the

The very men who are so insistent
on constituting the treaty to permit
free tolls delayed for months the rat.

ain because of their objection to arbi
tration of any subject. In other
words, they construed the treaty "a
permit discrimination and then OBJ
jected to allowing any international
court to express an opinion on the

treaty grants the rights which Great
