CLAPP CAMPAIGN BILL
GOES THROUGH SENATE
Measure, Governing Expenditure Of
Money in Nominating Presidential
Candidates, Passes.
HEAVY FINES ARE INCLUDED

The Senate yesterday passed the
Clapp campaign expense bill. which
makes it unlawful to transmit money
from one State to another for use in
the nominating expenses of President
Vice President, or members of Con-
gress, except IL be for the payment Of
the ordinary expenditures of speakers
bureaus, the dissemination of litera-
ture, or the publication Of legitimate
advertising, said bill TO have been in
CURED by a national or a State political
campaign committee.
The bill penalties the infractions Of
the law by individuals by the assess
ment of a maximum fine OF $1,000 for
each offense and in the case of corpora
tions by a fine Of not more than 5000.
The author of the bill, Senator Clapp
of Minnesota, believes that the enact
ment of his measure will serve to put
proper limit on the expenditure OF
money in political campaigns and pre-
vent abuses. Under the present law
both State and national committees are
compelled to make a full report OF their
expenditures for all purposes. includ-
ing the designation of the sources Of
their fund.
Following on the heels OF the SEN
ate's action in passing the Clapp BILL
Senator Sterling of South Dakota in
troduced a bill infiictias heavy penal
ties on corporations contributing to the
preconvention or election campaign
funds of candidates for the Offices Of
President, Vice President, Senator, or
Representative.
The measure is an amendment to the
law of 1907, which made IL unlawful
for corporations to assist in electing
the officers named. That law makes no
provision in the case of the nomina-
tion campaigns. hence, leaves the cor
porations free to be as active as they
may choose in preconvention fights.
Seantor Sterling believes that with
the modern development OF the primary
system the inclusion of activities at
the primaries in the inhibitions of the
statute is of equal Importance to the
elections themselves.

will be submitted to the Commissioners.

planned that 1t was the hope OF the
board to make the open-air schools a

win their battle with the white plague"

Retirement of Homes.
Commissioner Newman explained that
the board, through the department OF
health, also would endeavor TO aid i'm
the bstterment of sanitary conditions in
the homes from which the children at
tending the open-air schools come. 1t ;s
understood that this part of the Com
missiOners' program will depend largely
upon how much of the increased appro-
rriation asked for the department Of
health Congress will allow.
Both Commissioner Siddons and Engt-
neer Commissioner Harding are under
stood to be in hearty sympathy with the
plans outlined by the president of the
board for the active cooperation of the
municipality in saving the lives of chill
dren affected with tuberculosis, and also
are in favor of protecting the healthful
children by the exclusion from the
schools of those with the disease in COM
municable form.
When the reports of the school officials
and the health officer are submitted to the
board, provision for the sixty or seventy
children to be excluded from the schools
probably will be sought from Congress
as an emergency measure. Although IL
haT been suggested that about $l5.0 will
be the amount called for, the Commits
sioners are unwilling to make any tenta-
tive estimates until the reports, are laid
before them.

hopper plague this year and would
take immediate steps to kill the
choppers" before they reach the breed
ing stage, is the statement of Prof.
J. G.. Sanders OF the University OF
Wisconsin, college of agriculture, who
has returned from a trip to upper
Door county
1t has been estimated that 5000
farmers in Door county alone have
suffered loss Of S5OO,OOe from grass
hoppers during the last three years
A cheap spray which can be pre-.
pared and applied at cost of about
30 cents per acre, consists of one
pound OF sodium arsenite and two
quarts Of cheap molasses, dissolved in
sixty gallons OF water This should
be applied wherever the grasshoppers
are abundant The spray should be
applied before the grasshoppers reach
the winged stage Another remedy
is prepared by mixing forty pounds
OF bran with one pound Of paris green
and adding enough water and mo.
lasses to make sticky mass.
