RUCKER BILL USELESS
DEMOCRATS GO BACK ON ANTE.
ELECTION PROMISES.
Measure as Reported TO the House
Can Have Little Effect in "Purt
tying" EIections-Repubiica
Have Proved Worthy.

During the campaign which ended
In the election OF the present Demo
cratic house OF representatives the
candidates OF the successful party
would have resented holly n predic-
ton that If they won the power they
sought they would fall short OF the
standard set by the Republicans in
regard TO the compulsory publication.
before election day. OF the receipts
ana expenditures of campaign com
mittees and candidates. in congress
sional elections.
Then II was part of the Democratic
stock in trade to picture the Repub-
hcan party as given to the excessive
and demoralizing use of money in
campaigns. II was the fashion for
democratic speakers and Democratic
papers to deplore the evils wrought
by what they called Republican de-
pendence upon secret funds for use
In political contests.
But the Rucker bill to compel tho
publication of campaign receipts and
expenditures, in congressional cleo
tons. came up in the house OF repre-
sentatives and revealed very differ
ent conditions from those pictured by
Democratic orators for immediate
effect. last fall. The bill. as shaped
and approved by the Democratic lead
ers, provided only for the publication
or the receipts and expenditures OF
campaign committees in COMPRESSION
al elections. II took no account of
contributions under 500. Neither did
IL touch the vital point OF the per
sonal expenditures of candidates for
congress.
Tie Republican minority tried to
incorporate both OF these missing
clauses of a really comprehensive and
effective law. They succeeded in get
ting enough Democratic help to bring
down the limit of campaign expendi
lures which must be published before
election day to sums of $40 instead
or 800, but they failed to enforce pub
hcity for the expenditures OF candi-
dates individually.
Many Democrats favored this vital
amendment but the leaders OF the
majority party fought hard against
1t and finally prevailed. The bill
passed the house OF representatives
in form much weaker and less val
liable to the country and to the cause
OF pure elections than the Repub.
hcan amendments would have made
II. The Democratic leaders proved
formidable reactionary force.
So brave words once more give
place TO feeble and timid deeds and
the country has another illustration
OF the difference between ante-elec-
ton profession and post-election per
Torrance.

No such sum was ever collected for
either Jefferson or Hamilton while he
lived. We do not know why the sum
to be appropriated for each OF these
monuments was fixed at 100000. But
we can guess. The introducers OF tho
the resolutions noticed that 100000
Is said to have been spent on the cleo.

ALL WATCH UNITED STATES
Iaun-American Republics Naturally
though Unnecessarily. In Fear
OF Aggression.

From the Rio Grahd~ to- Cane Horn
the course followed by the United
States in the present critical condi.

Is being watched with suspicion and
anxiety. All Latin-America Is hoping
that tho great nation which over.

that there will be Intervention. fol.
lowed by the military occupation OF
Mexico and the destruction OF that
country's independence.
Americans know that they do not
covet Mexico. They understand that
there are cogent reasons for keeping
that country entirely separate from
the United States But South Amer
lea and Central America and the
West Indies do not realize this. They
are always conscious OF their weak.
ness in comparison with tho nation
which far exceeds In power all tho
rest of the hemisphere. and weakness
Is naturally distrustful OF strength.
For many years American statesmen
have been seeking to quiet these sus.
picions OF their country's attitude to
ward its neighbors to the southwark.
Much progress In that direction has
been made. but now there is danger
that the ground gained may be lost
by some mistake I'm dealing with the
Mexican situation. American trade
and American business opportunities

DEALERS LOSE IN TRADE
OF SECONDHAND AUTOS,
Growing Practise Is Causing
Much Concern.

In automobile trade circles at present
one subject of the business which is
giving much concern is h second
hand car"
For considerable time there has been
a growi-g habit of trading second
hand, even slightly used, cars for
others, sometimes on the initiative of
the owner, but more frequently at the
instigation of some automobile dealer.
About the only basis for doing this
Tyff1-a~aodern, high-grade car may be
divided as follows: The car already
owned may be too small or inadequate;
1t may b. of a make not thoroughly
developed and unsatisfactory; OF the
owner may desire a car embodying the
latest details of style. In fact, the
one is Pet of the buying price can
usually be traced to these reasons.
A well-constructed and satisfactory
car should be capable of travelling be-
tween 50,0 900 and 100000 miles, and the
most economical way to cover this dis
tance is by continued service from one
car, if for no other reason than that
the first time a car is used 1t is made
second hand and depreciates from 20 to
% per cent, not as a service article,
but from a selling standpoint. Z
This depreciation must be absorbed
by someone, and when dealers realize
hat they are the losers when unusual
offers are mad the occasion of so
many secondhand cars will largely
disappear.
