Fisher Makes Reply

Secretary of the Interior Fisher today

Department with respect to coal and
mineral lands In the West.
In letter to the Wyoming Congress
man the Secretary calls attention TO
the recent sale in Mr.. Mondelps own
state Of the largest tract of coal land
ever sold, at near the highest price
ever ever received by the Government, as
tanned in his position BY his fellow-
citizens of Wyoming.
Mr. Mondell told the Secretary that
the valuation placed upon coal lands nv
experts Of the Geological Survey were
purely academic and SO excessively high
as to defeat purposes of developmei,t I

Rocky mountain States.
The Secretary replies today that the

could, at the Government valuation

The bill to prohibit corporations from

yesterday.
The bill absolutely forbids any. ma

value to influence any convention, prim-
ary to election.
No individual may contribute more
than 5000 to any campaign fund.

corporations Of a fine not exceeding
$1,000, Imprisonment for not more than
one year, or both.
For individuals who violate the law
fine not exceeding $4,000, imprison-
ment for not more than two years, or
both.
1t Is not proposed to make the law
applicable to persons who are candi-
dates for Office.
The passage of the bill was advocat-
ed by Senator Culberson.
There should be differentiation be-
tween contributions for the election of
a President, Senator, or Representa-
tive,' said Senator Lodge. THE amount
of 5000 might be large" he said, for
one Congressional district, but would
not be unreasonable for a State or the
entire country In a Presidential CAM
paign. He said that 5000 was a need
lessly low sum for a national election.
One person could give a much larger
sum without unduly influencing the
election or corrupting the voters.
1t would happen, Lodge said, that one
man could furnish $225, 900 for the cleo
ton of Representatives in New York
State. but could give but 5000 toward
the election Of a Senator from New
York.
