CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS
The E.rie's India-Rubber Account Un-
der Jay Gould Recalled.
New York Times. =,

The recent disclosures regarding huge
corporation campaign contributions
have recalled to old Wall street men
the era in which Jay Gould presided
over the destinies Of the Erie and
poured out its money lavishly for po-
htical purposes. There were, of course,
very evident differences between the
Gould-Erie contributions and those now
under investigation, but it was corpo-
ration money, given by the president
and disclosed by a legislative investi-
cation in each case.
Gould was called as witness by the
investigating committee which sat in
1873 to look into the corruption of the
previous session of the legislature. It
was brought out that over 81 100000
was disbursed from the Erie treasury
in 1868 for @extra and legal services, -
most of these disbursements, as the
vouchers proved, going thru the hands
Of William M. Tweed, whose attain
ments were political rather than legal.
On the stand Gould said frankly that
if he had noticed it he would not have
permitted pecuniary transactions with
Tweed to be put in the shape of "legal
services,' and then he continued,
naively: IN:

cheerfully than the double one on
