The president Is authorized, therefore, to make con tracts certMnly within the $135,000, 000, plus the $10-,000,000 actually appro priated. This Is another mare's nest about the canal." The section referred to by the sec retary forbids expenditures by depart ments of the government In excess of appropriations. Court as Newspaper Censor.
