WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. a.
Members of congress are much In
tterested in the operation Of the leg.
islative mill at Charleston, their high
est interest doubtless being in the
primary, corrupt practices and re-
,districting bills. They haven't a
great deal OF expectation that there
will be any re-aistricting done. As
to the other bills their comment is
both critical and various. AT this
distance they see many flaws in both
bills. The section OF the proposed
corrupt practice act which attracts
their attention and to no small de.
gree stimulates their amusement, Is
that which limits the expenses of
candidates in the primary and ut the
general election. For example, the
provision that a candidate for con-
gresham or governor may spend
$3.50 to a county in the primary and
a like sum at the general election,
causes them to pause and ponder.
That would mean that the state Law
would allow each district congress:
man to spend $500 IL he felt like 1t
and had It to spend; and didn't fear
getting entangied with the federal
laws which limits his campaign ex.
penses to $ 5000. AS tho law is read
here, should there be no re.district.
ing done at this session. and Howard
Sutherland would desire to continue
as congressman:atlarge, the pro-
posed state law says to him that II
is perfectly all right for him to spend
s3S, 500 in an effort to get the nomi.
nation and win the election. But
Congressman Sutherland would know
that 1t was neither MORALLY nor legal.
ly all right, getting the latter know:
ledge from tho angle Of the federal
statute. While this generosity is
shown congressional and guberna;
torial candidates, indefensible dis
elimination is aimed at the greatly.
to.be pitied candidates for the United
States senate. The state proposes
to permit them to spend only $16,5o05
all told. The members Of the state.
delegation have had a great deal OF
fun joshing n another about this
section Of the bill.

its natural composition and gentle
