MAKE CAMPAIGN EXPENSES
PUBLIC.
Senate Passes Drastic Measure,
Using as Basis Democratic
Bill in the House.

Washington, July 49, "A campaign
publicity legislation bill was adopted by
the Senate late yesterday practically
without dissenting vote. Using the
bill passed by the House of Represen-
tatives, as a basis, the Senate con-
structed during the day proposed law
with the following important features:
No candidate for the Senate or
House shall spend in the election more
than a sum equal to ten cents for each
voter in his district or State.
No senatorial candidate shall spend a
total of more than$1O, 600 in the primary
and general election; and no candidate
for the House shall spend more than
5000.
Publicity must be given to all prim-
airy campaign contributions and eX-
penditures.
All general election expenses must be
made public before the election, be-
ginning Is days before election, and
making publication each six days until
election.
All promises of political jobs must be
made public.
The bill further makes it illegal to
promise political places in order to
secure election support, or to aid in in
fiuencing the election of any member of
a State Legislature.
The bill probably will be the subject
of prolonged conference between the
two houses. 1t originated in the
House as a part of the Democratic
Legislative programme and was de-
signed to require the publication OF
expenditures before election, which is
not required by the existing publicity
law. Burlington News.

Human Eyes.

Human eyes are the instruments
through which the soul works be-
yond and they are the most wonder
ful instruments known to science.
Their anatomical structure are mar
vrlously contriypd and the Office they
perform is greater marvel still, yet
in order that they may be able tn
perform their functions correctly,
they must b- normal and have light.
Natural and artificial light are SUI
ticientIy supplied by the sun. stars.
and other means. Human eyes may
he normal now, nevertheless they
will not always remain so, conse-
queutlv. they need optical attention
from time to time. Joseph B. Cozzo,

Hargis Items.

The people Of this and other vici-
mites have been experiencing some
very hot weather of late. 1t is in
clined to continue being warm with
only slight variation in the tempera-
ture in the early morning.
Harvesting time has come and the
farmers find some of their crops cut
short. due to the lack of rain during
the growing season. Some claim
that it is the best that has been
grown around here for several years
pnst. Poor land is the prime cause
for all the crops not being better is
the belief of many of our farmers.
There was an abundant supply of
peas and peanuts made in this CON-
Inunity this year. The peanut crop
didn't quiet come up with last years
yield. Evidently this will put the
Hargis Threshing Co.'S. machinery in
operation soon.
A few citizens of this community
have disposed of their homes and will
move to Texas. Their many friends
regret seeing them leave but sincerely
hope that this change of abode will
cool their Texas fever down to the
minimum degree.
There was not much sugar cane
planted this year, which is due to the
early freeze We had last fall. The cane
which WAS planted il growing fine
and SO faras Tonnage is concerned
the crop now on the ground is good.
But SD much moisture gives reason
to believe there will be exceptionally
watery cane at the beginning of the
season. Hence dry Sept
ember would be welcomed.
