PUBLICITY OF CAMPAIGN CON-
TRlBUTIONS AND EX-
PENDITURES

(From Tafl's Speech of Acceptance
Another plank of the Demo
cratic platform refers to the
failure of the Republican con-
vention to express an opinion
in favor of the publicity of con-
tributions received and expend-
ituresmade in elections. Here
again we contrast our oppon-
ent's promises with eur own
acts. Great Improvement has
taken place under Republican
auspices in respect to the col
lection and expenditure of mons
ey for this purpose. The old
and pernicious system of levy
ing a tax on the salary of gov
eminent employees in order to
pay the expenses of the party

buttons from corporations to

under penalty.
A resident of New York has

York law, Of the contributions
received by him and the expend-
lures made by him or under
mis- authority in connection with
that election. His residence
and the discharge of his duties
in the state of New York sub
ject him to the law of that state
as to all receipts Of the treas
ury of the National committee
from whatever source and as to
all it's disbursements. His re-
turns will be under the obliga-
ions and penalties Of the law,
and a misstatement by him or
the filing Of a false account will
subject him to prosecution for
perjury and violation of the
statute. OF course, under the
federal law, he is not permitted
to receive any contributions

every hope of success, that a
law be passed requiring a filing

elections as are constitutionally |

Meantime the Republican party

all its receipts and expenditures
to the compulsory obligation of

For two weeks there has APP
parently been a lull in the fight
of the water users against the
Great Western Beet Sugar COM
pany. Both sides, exhausted
by the strenuous activity OF
the days just passed when re-
ceiverships and foreclosures
were hourly expected, have
been resting on their oars.
Meanwhile the general public
has watched with interest to see
how Garrett would make good
on his promise to the court that
he would within a few days
raise $4,000, which sum he
CLAIMED would put him in posi-
ton to complete the system and
pay off the debts of the COM
pany. So far as can be learned
the money has not been forth
coming. At the same tine
Hewitt promised in open court
to advance $4,000 for immedi-
ate use for construction pur-
poses. 1t has developed since
that this apparently open heart
ed. offer had a very substantial
string on it, so, that while the
money has been put up, it was
in reality one of the highest
priced loans ever negotiated by
the company. This fact has led
many to the conclusion that if
a string held back the $500,
something of the dimensions OF
a wire cable must be holding up
the $4,000.
