The easiest way to solve the
campaign contribution matter is
for the rank and file of each party
TO contribute few cents each to
the campaign fund. This would
provide an ample fund and make
corporation contributions unneces-
sary.
1t NAV be sane to rail and roar
at politics. but will some sane
person rise and tell us how we can
have self-government without pol

utmost to keep politics clean and
respectable
The prominence and influence
gained by Colorado's three Repub-
lican congressman in Washington
could only result from exceptional
ability. Colorado's prominent po-
sition in the Lower House recalls
the power and influence Of the
state in the Senate when f. O..
Wolcott was there.
The splendid liberality with

Neither the governor nor the

If Colorado gets travelling auditor,

are understood to have come from the
House managers, and TO be reasonably
satisfactory to the House. The fourth
is demanded by the subsidy advocates
in the Senate and is the real sticking
point in the discussion. The first propo-
sition contains 10 concessions to the
House that would not. I'm all probability,
have to be made in any case; IT is a sur
render by the House tc the demand for
broad court review. The second is
considered fair to both sides; the third
involves no assurance whatever that the
Philippine tariff bill would be passed by
the Senate.
The compromise proposal has rot
passed the tentative stage as yet. 1t
may require modification. But the Sen
ate advocates OF subsidy are holding
very firmly. Had not the Speaker so
many times proved his power there
would be grave doubt whether he could
deliver the subsidy bill: and, indeed,
despite their repeated defeats. the in
surgents, il is thought, would make their
best showing in a contest against this
proposal.

A compromise proposition, taking in
the big legislative matters at issue be-
tween Senate and House, has been for
mulated, put into writing. and is now
under consideration among the leaders
OF the two bodies. 1t proposes. as now
framed:
1. The Senate shall pass and the House
accept the rate bill. with rather a com
prehensive court review provision.
?. The Senate shall pass and the
House ACCEPT the Statehood bill with
Arizona and New Mexico included. but
with the Foraker amendment of last
session. looking to the holding OF an
election for ratification of the enabling
act on the same day the State officers
are voted for; a majority in either Ter
ritory against the enabling act to re-
ject the entire proposition.
3. The Philippine tariff bin shall be
reported TO the Senate without recon-
mendation. but shall be given fair
show on the floor Of that body.
4. The House shall pass the ship SUBJ
sidy bill as IL came from the Senate.

HAS HIS HEARING
Automobile Speed Question
Before Senate Committee.
IMPRISONMENT; OH, HORROR!
Advocates of Good Time Ready to Pay
Fines, But Done Like
Lookup.

The automobile was on trial before the
District Committee OF the Senate
this forenoon. A hearing was held on
tho House bill for the regulation Of
speed of autos. at which the speakers
on both sides were. In the main. mem
bers of the House OF Representatives.
Judge Sims. of Tennessee. author of the
bill. spoke in its favor. and Represen-
tatives Gillette and Ames of Massachu-
setts. both of whom drive their own
autos. spoke against the minute regula-
ton provided IN the measure
The first speaker was j. NJ. Stoddard
OF the Cook & Stoddard Company. He
analyzed the specific provisions OF the
bill. urging that they are unreasonably
stringent. The maximum speed limit
is fixed at twelve miles an hour;
the speed at ordinary street
crossings at eight miles an hour
The speed st crossings at which
there are car tracks az five miles an
hour. and the speed at going around cor
ners at four miles an hour. A fifteen
mile limit is permitted on country roads
outside the fire limits. The penalties
are s. to $50 fine for the first. and SO
10 500 for the second offensei i'm ad-
ditiOn TO which for the second offense
Imprisonment from five to thirty days
NAV be imposed. and for the third o.
fense fine from $50 to $3.50 or imprison-
ment from thirty days to six months
Objects to Restrictions.
Mr.. Stoddard urged that under these
restrictions il would be almost impos-
sible to drive an auto without constant
technical violations. and that 1t would
be very difficult to enforce such law.
He believed 1t would be an unreasonable
position for people who used autos.
Judge Sims made the chief address.
lie declared there is an absolute de-
mand for regulation of the speed of
autos, and secuted the idea that We
hicles drawn by horses were just as
dangerous as autos. Likewise his ire
was aroused at the suggestion that has
been made that a big auto of, say sixty
horsepower, was not more dangerous
than a small one. He said people who
drive horses. and horse-drawn vehicles
are not objecting to the restrictions of
the bill. although these apply equally to
them witE autos. He admitted that il
would probably be impossible to enforce
literally at all times some of the detail
provisions of the bill, and said that unim-
portant violations of these would not be
made the occasion of prosecution. and
II was perfectly apparent that no dan
ger 10 anybody was involved. but on the
other hand. he said that he had been
told by police authority that one man
who three times in one day violated the
present regulations. paid his fine each
time. and went away absolutely disre-
Garding the public interest that was in
volved- What Judge Sims stood out for
was particular insistence was the fea-
ture Of his bill providing for imprison-
ment. This is not included in the pre-
sent law, and he considered ii absolute
ly necessary.
