-4 THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE, FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY 3, 1913.
I FIDS OPPOSITION
I IN SENATE STRONG
H President Abandons Plan to
H Name. Colonel Goethals as
H Governor of Canal Zone.
I DEMOCRATS AGAINST IT
H Employees on the Isthmus,
H However, Will Be Pro-
H , tected by Civil Service.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2. Opposition
of Democratic senators to Prcsidont
Tzt'a plan of patting Col. Gcorpo W.
Goethals, builder of the Panama canal,
at tie head of tbo civil government of
tho zone, took such proportions today
thai omo of Mr. Tafl's advisers urged
him jq forego tho plan and leave tbo
creation, of the new zono government
to his successor, President-elect WiUon.
' Some who talked with tho president
early ia tho day were convinced that
lo would canvass the situation further
'before abandoning his plan. Others in
close touch with the president were
poeltivo that, out of consideration for
Colonel Goethals, whom ho dood not
wish to involvo in a political dispute,
io would give up tho. idea, and that
Colonel Goethals immediately after ap
poaring before tho congressional com
mittco formulating appropriations for
fortifications of the canal, would return
to his work.
H Civil Service Order.
Ono feature of tho plan, however, if
Colonel Goothnls is not put at tho head
of the zone government, is to place all
employees on tho canu work under civil
service by the president's executive or
dor. A few omployocs on tho isthmus
already are in tho civil service, but tho
creat 'number of canal workers havo
Wen appointed by tho isthmian canal
commission.
fl The attitude of the Democratic sena-
tors h that the present canul commis
si non should not bo displaced and disor
gauized until tbo canal is completed.
"Tbo bill authorizing tho president
to orjjanizo a civil government for the
Hj canal zono could never have become a
H law but for tbo assuranco that thcro
would bo no premature action," said
Senator Ifoko Smith of Georgia. "We
accepted this assuranco as meaning
H that the commission be allowed to con-
tinuo its labor until construction should
lie finished and tho water running."
H Would Honor Goethals.
H The Democrats further lake tho posi-
Hon that tho services of nil tho mom
hrrs nf tho commission still aro needed
and they contend that to provide for
nloncl Goethals and summarily dis
znhi all other commissioners would be
an unfair discrimination. Generally
H thoy express admiration for Colonel
Goothnlfl, and Senator Smith wcut so far
to say tliat ho would favor confer
1 Ting all"posr.iblo military honors upou
km.

i-omnii&sion for any purposo and leave
H) t ho other commissioners out of cousid-
oration, and especially to deprive the
HI country of the trervicot of the commis-
Hj fiou at what may still be a critical
Hi time, wo believe to bo neither wise nor
H tair," Mr. Sfmith continued. IIo fur
HI ther said that many Republican ccna-
HI tors express this sentiment, and he
HJ added his conviction that if Colonel
Hj Goethals's nomination should ho sent
H it could not be confirmed at this time.

said Senator Bailey.
Wisconsin's Experience.
Senator Sail said that In sUteo
where constitutional amendments bad
been submitted to the people, but a smali
proportion of the citlzen6 voted upon
thorn. In Wisconsin, he tald, U ran as
low as from 21 to 56 per cent. Oregon,
ho declared, on a question Involvinp, the
future of the state's university In wnlch
the public had become keenly interested,
but 0 per cent had voted upon the ques
tion. Senator A6hur?t, Rnswerinc Senator
Bailey, paid that the percentage that
voted on public questions In the states
where direct legislation was attempted
was fully as great as the percentage pf
United States senator!, "nworn and paid
to vote on legislation," who voted on the
majority of tho subjects before the sen
ate. Senator Ajthurst. In hit! defensn of Mr.
Hearst, said that his name was associat
ed with the success of many projects to
promote the happiness of the people and
tho perpetuity of American lnstltt ons:
and declared that he was a "firm friend,
a loving husband and a faithful father
"More than that. I need not say; less
than that 3 could not say," he added.
Bailey Quotes Hamilton.
The first portion of Senator Bailey's
address Included long extracts from the
writings of Alexander Hamilton, princi
pally publications in the federalist
through which Hamilton. Just after the
formation of the government, carried op
his discussion of the principles upon
which he conceived it to havo been
founded.
"The wise und patriotic statesmen wh
dedicated this republic to liberty and In
dependence," declared Senator Bailey
"rejected a direct democracy in which
tho people would rule without the Inter
vention of representatives, and adopted
a representative democracy in which the
people should rule through their duly
chosen agcnU."
The senator quoted from statesmen
who participated in tho formation of the
constitution and the organization of the
government to show that they had nevr
intended that the republican form or gov
ornment should give way to direct legis
lation by the people, Mich as tho initia
tive, and referendum would provide.
"This is a republic democracy." he said,
and cited again opinions of men ldeiullicd
with history to prove that a "represen
tative democracy" was bettor than a truo
democracy. Senator Bailey said he
would not quote from lawyers because
thev do not "socm to he in high fuvor
now with those who wish to work tills
change In the government."
"I never had a client who was my
master In any manner," ho declared at
one point.
Wilson's Words Citecl.
Mr. Bailey quoted from tho works of
President-elect Wllsdri. '
"I am a Democrat." paid Senator
Bailey, "and though I did -not favor his
selection, no man living hopes moro for
tho success of his administration than
I do."
He quoted from Governor Wilson's
worlcs to the effect that tho views men
express on the stump wero often tem
pered by tho "common counsel" thoy
enjoy when thoy finally como into con
trol of tho government.
"How often havo wo seen men roar
mlshtily when they are seeking election
to coo gently when they havo attained
It," added Senator Bailey.
Senator Bailey declared that no more
thorough presentation of tho character
of representative government had ever
been mnde than in Professor Wilson's
books.
"The wondor to me," he said, "is how
any man could havo understood the
necessity and the controlling force of
council and discussion, without having
actually been a part of a great delibera
tive assembly."
Mr. Bailey said tho advocates of the
direct form of qo-ornment declared they
were not working for the overthrow of
the government.
"They are mistaken," he said, "In tho
belief that they can establish a direct
form of government without overhtrow
ing the whole atructuro of rcpresenta.
tlvc government.
Believes With the Dead.
"It has come to a choice between the
side led by tho mighty spirits of another
day and the side led by the noisy dem
onstrators of today. For my part, I am
roady to enlist under tho banner of tho
mighty dead of Washington and Jef
forson and Madison.
"They say that representative govern
ment has broken down In our govern
ment," said Senator Bailey. "If It were
true. It would almost Justify a. revision.
But I maintain It is not true. I main
tain that the government is more rep
resentative of the pcoplo today than ever
before in the history of the republic.
"There is a criticism, but it la of quite
a different character. Tho real crit
icism today Is that the representatives
of the people arc too quick to represent
the views of the people, as they arc
has-tlly expressed, before, time has been
given for mature consideration."
Accuses Newspapers.
Senator Bailey charged the newspapers
were largely responsible for the "un
rest." "I hav become convinced." ho said,
"that the present great popular unreal
had Ub boglnnlng In what was Intended
ac mere Idlo gossip."
XewspaperF. ho hald, began publishing
lists of "millionaire senator!?, ' appar
ently only because they wanted "some
thing to write," and the demand for
such matter became Instant.
Senator Bailey said If anyone "wanted
to organize u syndicate to buy him out."
he would be very glad to havo them of
fer less than half a million.
"And after the papers had gotten used
to calling the nate a millionaires club "
he nld, "thoy began attacking individ
ual senators, demanding to know where
they got tho millions which they did not
have."
Senator Bailey said. he. ovr.rfcoo.rd n
Washington man Dolnttng to the senate
office butldlnr and say:
TiHt' whoro those old fellowa flx
up their Jobs, drink thetr champecnu and
get drunk aa lonlt.' "
"That's the kind of reputation tho rep
resentatives of the Amerlcun people are
given and usually with no bettor foun
dation." said Sonator Bailey. ,
Opinion on Hearst.
Contmuing his attack on journals and
. papers. Mr. Bailey picked ud si mnsazlne
pubMincd by William R- Hearst. ,

heatedly.
"Very well. I'll do so." retorted Mr.

"stolen letters ' In an attempt to create
the impression that the Standard OH
compajiy controlled legislation, while
many of the letters used, he said, were
in fact unrelated to any matters of legis
lation. "The proposal to change the form of
government," said Senator Bailey, "was
based on the principle that the Senators
and representatives of the government
were dishonest and could not be trusted.
"The curse of the time is we aro ap
pealing to ignorance and prejudice," he
said. "We arc teaching the rich that
the poor aro their natural enemy and
teaching the poor that the rich aro their
natural oppressors."
He added he did not believe Vail the
rich were rascals nor that all the poor
were patriota," but contended that the
percentage "rah about the same in both
classes."
"Let us have an end of thla class war."
he said, "lot us reestablish in the minds
of the people the belief that the men
they have trusted have not betrayed
them."
Senator Bailey fald that the cry today
wag that the new movement was "let
the pcoplo rule." He denounced that as
false.
"There are the southern states, he
said. "There It not a southern state that
has adopted woman suffrage, and I hope
they will not.
. "I cannot understand how any woman
wants to step down from the high pedes
tal upon which man haa placed her to
ininslo in the broils and debaucheries of
politics. No. tho southern ctates believe
in the rule of the men people. And not
only that, but In the whlto mon people,
and I ogreo with them."
