Stop Banks and Other Corporations from Making

The most desirable thing to be
hoped for by the American people dur
ing the next four years is the passage
of laws prohibiting National banks
and other corporations from contribut-

money in aid Of political parties.
Such laws should pass both Congress
and State Legislatures. If corpora
tionS can use their funds for such pur-
poses without restriction, government
by the people is sure TO be destroyed.
While this is the most desirable
and fundamental thing, there should
also be promptly adopted IA National
