local subscription representative in each
town in this county to take subscriptions
during the fall and winter months. A
Justice of the Peace in Arkansas made
$4,000 during December, January,
February and March last year and never
left his Office. An old soldier in Mis-
souri, has earned $586.00 in the last
year. A lady in Kentucky who had
sold extracts all her life took up our
work last winter and has made over
100000 this year without leaving her
home town. 1t requires no particular
ability to become subscription repe-
sentative. There is no reason why you
should not make from $4,000 to
100000 this winter looking after my
subscription interests in your locality.

SENATE WILL GET
BILL TO LIMIT
CAMPAIGN FUNDS

WASHINGTON. Dec. f.---aAs Ill
rect result OF the senate campaign
contribution investigation, Senator
Moses a. Ciapp of Minnesota, chair
man OF the committee, introduced
In the senate today a drastic bill
limiting the use OF campaign funds
In presidential and congressional
elections.
II forhids any person. firm. cor
poration. association. committee. or
any officer thereof. to send money
from one state to another for the
purpose OF influencing elections.
Such general prohibition. how
ever. Is not provided against politi-
cal committees. the bill specifying
"The national committees OF politi-
cal parties may make payments for
expenses OF campaign speakers,
transportation, hotel bills. expenses
for the dissemination OF campaign
literature aud advertising"
Violations OF the proposed meas.
ure are made punishable by impris.
onment OF from six months 60 one
year.
Senator Clapp explained that his
bill was intended to prevent large
sums from being raised In financial
ccnters and sent 20 distant states
for the use OF state committees. IL
would compel the people OF each
state TO finance and independently
conduct their own campaigns except
that the national committees may
furnish speakers and literature.
