The Revenues Needed.

TO enable the canal TO carry itself
commercially without becoming a burden
upon the taxpayers Of the country" said
Prof. Johnson in his address. lit will be
necessary to secure revenues of about
S19,25o.HD per annum. This total is made
up of S3..No.ooo for annual maintenance
and operation; $Jo0.Dp for zone santa
ton and government; $4,000 payable as
an annuity to the republic of Panama
S1i,2lo.toJ to cover the interest, at ) per
cent on the 375.0oo, coo invested in the
canal. and $4,000 to provide a sinking
fund of l per cent to return TO the
Treasury the cost of the canal during
the next fifty years.
This revenue must be secured mainly
from the tolls collected from the yes
sells that use the canal. If all vessels
paid tolls. the revenue of the canal at
the end OF ten Years would cover the an
nual outlay for operating expenses and
charges upon capital. If the owners OF
American ships engaged in the coastwise
trade are excused from the payment of
tolls the revenues will not suffice TO
make the canal self-supportng.
TO exempt coastwise ships from the pay
ment of tolls means a decrease of at
least S2o,Eb,hO IN revenue during the
first ten years. ami means the addition of
that amount to the hurdens to be carried
by the taXpayers of the country

No Chance to End Evils.

I'm other words. the citizens Of Wash
ington have the evils OF common coun-
ell without even the right or authority TO
remedy these evils. But this is only one
of the reasons for putting an end TO
the present method. of administering the
affairs of the District. The present Con-
gress is congested with legislation. Hun
dreds of bills entitled to consideration
cannot receive it because the bills can
not be reached. And Yet we must listen
to debates in Congress on the construc-
ton of side and cross walks in the
District. A surprisingly small percentage
of the members of Congress are familiar
with the property interests, character Of
taxable property or the ordinary needs of
this municipality. Further than that. the
members OF congressional committees
who deal with the District while en-
deavoring to be fair in their dealing with
Washington cannot possibly be in sym
pathy with local sentiment or familiar
with conditions in various sections of the

The correspondence between the for
mer President and the Delaware Col
lege official became public today. \
fortnight ago following meeting here
of the public archives commission OF
this state, DR. Marshall and Judge
Henry c. Conrad Of the Delaware su-
preme court talked informally on the
matter of new president for Della
ware College. Both are members of the
archives body. The name OF Nr. Taft
came up 1t was then agreed that DR.
Marshall. because of his personal ac-
uuaintance with the former chief eX-
ecutive. should write MIN asking if
he would entertain a call to the presi
dency of the Delaware Institution.
Could Have $4,000 Year.
The vacancy in the presidency of Della
ware College is due to the recent resig-
nation of DIR. George A. Harter, who had
been at the head of the institution for
seventeen years He will hereafter con-
fine himself to teaching at the college.
When it became known that the posi-
ton had been tentatively. offered to MIR.
Taft, interest in the college increased
generally. The prospective salary of
So OuI per annum will be the interest on
an endowment fund of S1oo,o1o which the
alumni are now engaged in raising. 1t
was declared today that if there were
any prospect of securing Mr.. Taft as
president the salary could easily be made
$1,000 a year Former Gov. Preston Lea
a millionaire is chairman of the board of
trustees
Whether any further effort will be
made to induce Mr.. Taft to come to Della
ware will not be known until the trustees
however. one of the requirements would
be unanimous action on the part of the
trustees and possibly, the sending of a
delegation of prominent Delawareans to
the former President personally to offer
him the office.

JOINT CONGRESSIONAL
COMMITTEE ADVOCATED
Lawmaker Proposes That Three
Local Residents Cooperate in
Framing New City Charter.

Washington cannot be national city
as long men in the Senate and House
are using the appropriations for the Dis
trict of Columbia as means of making
a reputation at home for enforcing econ
omy in government" So says Repre-
sentative c. h. Smith of Buffalo. n y.
who has prepared a resolution. which
will go to the rules committee some day
this week, for the purpose of establish
ing a joint committee of Sera.e and
House members. together with three
residents of the District to 20 thorough
lv into District affairs and ultimately to
report out the framework of proposed
new city charter.
Representative Smith. after few
months in Congress, said yesterday that
il was perfectly clear to him that as long
as the District of Columbia depends on
District committees in Congress for
legislation there would be small results.
For Half-and-Half Plan.
The scheme he proposes would leave
to commission the power OF nearly all
legisla ton for the District, would leave
to the appropriations committee the
power to make up expenditures Mr..
Smith also proposes to leave intact the
half-and-ha1f plan. The commission
ter than District committee should heA
appointed by the President and would
be composed of three senators, three
representa- tives and three residents of the
District Of Columbia.
The Smith resolution takes step
farther than does the Cooper resolu
ton. the George resolution or the
Prouty resolution. but combines some
of the features of all of them.
Things to Be Accomplished.
1t would ask for an investigation into
the present fiscal relations. would give
residents of the District plenty of OPP
portunity to tell Congress exactly what
they believe to be needful here. and
would eventually>take away from Con
gress the burden of legislating for the
District-without taking away the
right of making appropriations. Mr.
Smith intimates that Congress should
not be made a city council.
said:
The Johnson-Prouty plan of putting
an end to the half-and- half system Of
taxation has one redeeming quality. II
has called attention to the absolute
failure of the present system of gov
