PANAMA CANAL
SHOWS PROFIT
Closes the Best Year, Financially,
in Its Six Years of
Operation.
MARKED GROWTH IN TRAFFIC
General Harding, Governor OF Canal,
In Report Predicts Revenue Of
Over s., ooo, 600 Annually

Washfngton.-The Panama cana
has closed the best year, financially
in Its six years of operation, with ar
excess of $2,3S7. 500 in revenue over
the expense Of operation and main
tenance
Brig. Gen. Chester Harding, COVER
nor OF the Panama canal, predicted
in his annual report to the secretary
Of war, that within q reasonable peri.
Cd of normal world conditions, the
canal will earn an actual profit on its
cost. which has been $3.50. $50 600. ex-
elusive of expenditures for it's mill
tary and naval defense. In the mean
time. the general added, the canal Is
performing an important commercial
service by stimulating American trade
with the west coast Of South America
and the Orient. More than Is per
cent OF the cargo handled through
the canal since it's opening WAS In
transit between the United States and
between the Atlantic coast of the Uni
ted States and the Orient.
Traffic Has Increased.
Within the six years of operation,
General Harding's report said, there
has been marked increase in traffic
through the canal Notwithstanding the
fact that the World war interfered
with the normal development OF ocean
going commerce. After the entry OF
the United States into the war there
was decrease in commercial traffic.
due TO the diversion of certain lines
of ships TO the transatlantic service,
hut this was more than offset by the
increase in traffic growing out of the
war, chiefly on account of the de-
velopment of the nitrate trade with
the Pacific coast of South America.
Discussing the amount of money ex-
pended by the United States on the
canal, Governor Harding said:
in the year 2,745 vessels passed
through the canal, of which 2,478 were
transits. Tolls and other
revenues amounted to SO, 1886, 81. while |
current expenses of operation and |
tOtaled to $685. 72. The |

more the total current expenses of

pening TO that date. after which, the
anal authorities argue. there should

Auxiliary Services Utilized.
The auxiliary services of the canal
ave been largely utilized and are

oIicy of making it attractive in all
the Incidental services that are
onsidered by shipping interests in

SHALL. FARMERS HAVE HELP?


The great question before the
American people now is the saving OF
agriculture, upon which the pros
perity, the very life nf the nation and
its people depends. The farmers nave
been exploited until they are dis
ate prices for help, for everything
they were forced to buy and now must
sell their crops at a loss 1t has cost
more to produce the wheat, oats, bar
ley, corn, hogs and cattle the farmers
have to sell than these can be sold for
now. Yet the big interests" are bit
terIy opposing any action to help the
farmers. The Wall Street Journal
: says:
In other words the United States
government has neither money nor
credit to extend to the farmers COM
bining to influence unfairly world
market which ought to be beyond this
country's control. In plain terms,
what the North Dakota banks have at
tempted and what the federal reserve
bank is asked to attempt is to finance
tottering bull pools formed by ill
advised farmers to create articifcial
prices for cotton and wheat
The United States government has
not the money nor the credit to help
the farmers, says the Wall Street
organ, but the United States had the
capital and the credit to raise wages
of railroad employees from 48 to 100
per cent and then raise freight, pas
seager and express rates on the r,til- |
roads 20 to 40 per cent and then grar-
antee the railroads six per cent net
income on this inflated expense and !
the inflated values of the railroads, |
and last week the interstate COM
nerce commission authorized a loan
of s26,750,000 to the railroads to make
improvements.
President Wilson has asked that the
government loan to Armenia the sim
of $100,000,000. The shipping board
squandered two billion dollars, we
are told, but the government hasl
neither the cash nor the credit to
help the farmers. This undoubtedly
true for it is stated by the mouthpiece
of Wall street.
The farmer must work out his own
salvation and he is working it out
Such unfair treatment as ne has re-
ceived during the present year will
do more than all the agitators turned
loose, to force the farmers to or
ganfze and assume the power they
have. And when they are thus or
ganized, those who had no leash or
credit to give the farmer justice will
get theirs"

GALLOWAY TO TAKE

Directors of the Baltimore and

ed for this position is Charles Gallo

the Baltimore and Ohio lines.
Before the government took over
the railroads Mr.. Galloway was vice
president in charge of the Western
lines of the company The fact Of
the matter is that Mr.. Galloway will
get the job, but the uncertainty is
whether or not the directors will
take UP the matter at Its meeting to-
day. Any number of important mat
tiers are to be discussed at the meet
ing, including the taking back of the
railroad from the government on
March 1. and the directors might
think there is plenty OF time before
March to take up the election Of Cal
