PANAMA CANAL TOLL.

PANAMA CANAL TOLL.
L believe that the. exemption
from toll of vessels engaged in
domestic trade is not subsidy nor
is it wrong as an economic policy,
nor do / believe that it is a viola.
tion of the Hay -Pauncefote Treaty.
| believe further that candidates
seeking white Democratic votes
and that Congressman holding
Office by the votes of white Demo-
Gratis should stand on the platform
adopted by the National Democrat
ic party and so believing, | am
opposed to the repeal of the
Panama Canal Toll Exemption Law
and the surrender of the control of
the Panama Canal to the Canadian
Pacific and other trans-continental
railroads through the British For
eign Office. This is an American
enterprise, the greatest engineer
ing feat of the world, paid for by
American capital, the money of
the American people. who had the
initiative, the nerve and the cour-
age to undertake its, construction
with all the hazard, risk and re-
sponsibllity incident thereto and 10
one should be willing to surrender
its control and regulation to a
foreign power. Certainly a Con.
gresham who voted for repeal is a
vioIator of the party's pledge to
the people. 1t is no excuse to say
that the President wanted repeal
because, regardless of our respect
for him as man and as President
of this great nation, he is not the
party nor is he bigger than the
party nor can he any more than
any other man by bis mere "ipse
dixit" abrogate party pledge to
the American people.
FARMERS UNION AND LABOR
UNIONS.
/ believe that Farmers, Unions
and Labor Unions should be ex-
empted from the operations of the
antitrust laws, because in my
Judgment such combinations are
not unlawful and are not inimical
to the public good.
believe that agreements to
raise che price of agricultural
products should be exempted from
the ANTITRUST laws because not in
restraint Of trade and not inimical
to public welfare. Any law that
fosters, aids or encourages agricuI-
ture is not and cannot be 10 con-
tiict with the constitution of the
United States because the lives Of
the people and the preservation Of
this government depend on this in
dustry.
believe in the improvement Of
the Mississippi river on a grand
scale commensurate with its in
creased Importance by reason of
the completion Of the Panama Canal
and | believe that the Federal Cow
ernment should maintain adequate
Ievees.

COLLECTIONS ARE SLOW
Commercials Assignees Have Only
slS2.3S More on Hand Now
Than on June S.

The assignees of the defunet
Commercial Bank & Trust Company
had $S5, 162 36 on hand this morn.
ing to the credit of a third divi-
dend of 10 per cent which takes
approximately $4s, 500 to meet the
sums due the depositors every time
that percentage is declared.
The cash on hand is only $l62 35
more than was on hand when The
Leader made a report June 5. This
small increase in cash accumulation
is accounted for by the fact that
the attorneys for the bank have
been paid $1,000 in full for their
services up to June /, and the
further fact that after a close scru-
tiny of the books it was decided to
write checks for past dividends to
parties whose addresses are not
known and who have not called for
their checks. This depleted the
cash to the amount Of about $3, 900.
The last monthly statement or
dered by the court TO be published
eyerysS0 days was made on May Is,
By the Assignees. When Book
keeper N. 7. TulI was asked this

Ibelieve in economy. 1t is stat
ed in the public press that the
present congress has exceeded in
its appropriations any preceding

is pledged to an economical admin

effort and purpose to see that this
pledge is carried out SO tar as lies
within my power.

postmasters for the important
offices should be left to the people

charge many more times the price
to an inland town or city for the
same service it renders to a city on
a waterway. The rate law comes
nearer to the producer and consum-
er than the tariff or almost any
other question and with the present
system it is utterly impossible for
this section to prosper as it should
in any enterprise which may be
here undertaken.
