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 l refer,
because at least two years viii elapse
before another election in which fed
eral offices are to be filed, but it would
greatly relieve the public mind if this
important matter were dealt with
while the circumstances and the dam
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 a
delay would have the further serious
disadvantage of postpOning action UNI
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.
