BY the Federal Government
Although the senate special commit
tee which is to inquire into the rela-
tlon between politics aud business has
hardly begun its duties, IL is apparent
already that the committee viii sub
nit as part OF It's report some recon.
mendations for the enactment Of n
drastic corrupt practices law.
From the character OF tho recent
agitation of the subject OF campaign
contributions and expenditures, and
the certainty that this agimtion will
grow instead of diminish when the
committee gets down 10 work. there II
no doubt In the minds of Interested
men that the outcome Of the Inquiry
will revolutionize campaign methods
OF the past. III
According TO what is said in Wash
Ington the trend Of committee opinion
will be toward governmental restfic-
ton of campaign expenditures along
lines that will DO regarded rs extreme
ly radical,
Existing Statutes.
There are already several federal
statutes applying 10 primaries and
elections for the selection OF candi'
dates for the senate and house OF
representatives, and many states
have adopted legal PROVISIONS Of p
similar character. The federal net Of
Jan. 20. 1907, prohibits corporations
from making money contributions ~
connection with political electionM
this applying to the election Of presi-
dent and vice president, representa-,
tiyes In congress, and tho members o.
the state legislatures which ehaoae
United states senators. The act Of
june %. 1910. provides for publicity
OF contributions made for the purpose
of influencing elections In which rep
resentatives in congress are elected!
Then there Is the act Of Aug. ID,
1911. which was amended by tho act
of Aug. %, 1912. making more drastic
the publicity law by extending IT to
primary elections.
Sentiment Of the COMMITTEES.
But sentiment in the Clapp commit
tee. It is said. has marked tendency
toward providing means that WIZ
eliminate almost entirely the present
method of running political campaigns
with funds collected from private
sources. From what Is now known on
the subject It is probable that the
committee will be confronted with the
proposal to recommend that ecntriDu-
tons for campaign expenses from m
diyiduals and organizations shall be
prohibited altogether, and the federal
goveWment bear the expense OF pollh-
cal campaigns involving the election OF
presidential electors.
The suggestion II In It's infancy. and
az far as known has not been worked
out TO the practicable pcint Of deter
ming the ultimate cost to the nation
or fixing the amount that may he ex-
pended by any political committee
coming within the provisions OF such
law. However, the idea 10 being
given consideration and, while 1t IL
too soon to forecast action by the com
mittee Of inquiry or congress, there Is
reason to believe that the proposal viii
be presented and urged within the
committee membership.

When the hanging committee Of the
English Royal academy has completed

'Varnishing day" brings many sur
prises to the exhibitors. One man will
find his canvas wrongly named. and
another, an impressionist, may be star
