Amend Canal Bill Proposes President Chooses Route and Bonds
In Washington on June 13 two senate amendments to the isthmian canal bill were introduced. Senator Hoar asks the president to select a route and secure needed advice, with a $10 million appropriation for work. Senator Fairbanks would authorize treasury borrowing up to 130 million for canal construction with bonds at 2 percent in gold. Morgan opposes, calling it delay. Fairbanks argues spreading costs over years is wiser. Spooner defends authorship and seeks support, while Morgan critiques concessions from Colombia and calls the Spooner amendment flawed.
