members OF the house OF Representatives
was introduced by Senator Sterling Of
South Dakota today. Commenting on the
BILL Senator SterSCg said: "The measure
Is an amendment Of the present law of
1907, making II unlawful for corporations
to assist In electing the officers named
That law. however makes no provision
In the case OF nominating these officials
and under our primary llaws the nomina-
tons should be protected against cor
poration Influences as well as the cleo
uons.
certainly IL corporations ought not to
contribute TO helping IN elections, they
should not contribute 10 the nomination
of men TO importat offices. Under the
operation OF our present primary system
really the nominating primaries very
often become more important than the
elections, and. therefore. believe that

In the corresponding eight months this
year a scant million dollars in such pro-
ducts have gone 30 the larders of the

Az an aggrsvating fact accompanying
the falling off in exports, the United
States has been forced to draw more and
more largely on countries for beef and
beef animals, says the bureau. This. de-
mand for food from the outside has been
met mostly by Mexico. which, In spite of
Internal troubles, has been able to send
approximately $4,000 head OF cattle into
the United States. w
Despite the seeming scarcity OF cattle.
the bureau. declares the prices Of beef
animals have fallen steadily. Ik
