Urges the Passage Of the
Corrupt Practices Act Reg
ulating the Expenditure Of
Money In Elections and Fa-
vors More Freedom of CON-
bination to Those Engaged
In Foreign Commerce.

noting the foreign commerce Of the
country than is now thought by some
to- be legal under the terms of the
laws against monopoly, the bill amend
ing the present organic law Of Porto
Rico and the bill proposing a more
thorough and systematic regulation of
the expenditure Of money in elections,
commonly called the corrupt practices
act l need not labor my advice that
these measures be enacted into law.
Their urgency lies in the manifest cir
cumstances which render their adop-
ton at this time not only opportune
but necessary. Even delay would Sc
riously leopard the interests Of the
country and of the government.
Immediate passage Of the bill to reg
ulate the expenditure of money in
elections may seem to be less neces-
sary than the immediate enactment Of
the other measures to which refer,
because at least two years will elapse
before another election in which fed
eral offices are to be filed, but it would
greatly relieve the public mind il this
important matter were dealt With
while the circumstances and the dan
gers to the public morals of the pres
ent method Of obtaining and spending
campaign funds stand clear under re-
cent observation and the methods Of
expenditure can be frankly studied in
the light Of present experience. And
delay would have the further serious
disadvantage Of postponing action un-
til another election was at hand and
some special object connected with it
might be thought to be in the mind of
those who urged it. Action can be
taken now with facts for guidance and
without suspicion of partisan purpose:

ed to be doubtful whether they could
be created upon an adequate scale un.

away all legal obstacles and create a
basis Of undoubted law for It which

The argument for the proposed

For 200 days two great armies have
