PANAMA CANAL TOLLS SHOULD BE MADE LOW Secretary of War Stimson Gives His Views to Con gress Committee (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON. Feb. 12.—“1 have no doubt as a question of law,” said Sec retary of War Stimson before the house interstate commerce commission today, “that under the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, the United States could pay from Its treasury to American ships any repay ment of tolls that it saw fit. Whether we could discriminate in favor cf Ameri can ships directly is another question. All involves a question of national policy. My opinion is, however, that the first method would be the safer.” In this manner Secretary Stimson dis cussed the question of American prefer ment in Panama tolls before the com mittee. Mr. Stimson urged moderate tolls, de claring the first purpose of the canal was the development of commerce, and that reimbursement for cost of construction should be deferred. Mr. Stimson said he would keep legis lation for the encouragement of Ameri can. shipping apart from Panama canal legislation, and would not operate gov ernment-owned steamships on the canal. The pressure brought to bear by the country for lower rates, if the govern ment operated the steamships, would be tremendous. SENATOR LODGEOPPOSES THE RECALL OF JUDGES (By Associated Press.) SPRINGFIELD, 111., Feb. 13.—Sen ator Henry Cabot Lodge, of Massachu setts, in a speech last night at the an nual banuet of the Lincoln Centennial association, assailed the initiative and referendum and t recall of judges. "I take the stand that the adoption of a compulsory initiative and refer endum means the destruction of rep resentative government,” said the sen ator. “The cry for this is based on the plea for ‘progressiveness.’ Progress does not necessarily indicate anything good. Further than this, legislation by direct vote is an old system. It has been tried and has failed. The plan was familiar to the Greeks. The de velopment of representative government has been due to the English-speaking people. “In England, in early days, judges held their offices at the will of the king. It was against this very sys tem that the makers of the declaration of independence revolted in their phrases relative to judges. A judge is on the bench to do justice between man and man. Make him fearful of the will of a fretful and ever-changing vot ing constituency and see how long a condition like that would last.” milleFcounty will NAME STATE SENATOR (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) COLQUITT, Ga., Feb. 12.—Interest in local politics was stimulated when the county executive committee met here Sat urday and set April 5 as the date for the county primary. This is Miller county’s year to elect the state senator for the Eighth Senatorial district, so this makes an entire quota from the judgeship of the city court down.

At present these seem to be "seek ing the man.” * However, it is believed that very office, with the exception of the ordinary’s and tax collector’s, will be contested. , * WIFE THE REAL VICTIM OF THISJFOOLISH JUDGE (By Associated Press.)
