A Boston Without Beans?
Perish the Evil Thought !

Boston, Mass. July IA. Boston

fame If the price of the many varieties
of beans used in making that glorified
dish, baked beans, continues to soar
An unusually short crop coupled with
the demands of the Massachusetts, mill
itia and the United States Regular
Army, which were supplied from this
city with beans to bake in the coming
campaign, have taken nearly all the
little kernels of delight out of Bos-
ton.
Boston baked bean-less would be a
horrible, not to say an unthinkable,
state of affairs. but II is one that is
possible of realization in the near flu
ture. AS it is the price of pea beans,
yellow eye. and kidney beans, the diff
ferent kinds which may be used in the
baking pot, is we'll nigh prohibitive.

Plan to Limit Presidents

Special TO the TcleFyobh

Washington, D c. July II - The
House yesterday began consideration
of the Rucker bill. designed to limit
the amount of and give publicity to
campaign contributions and disburse-
ments of candidates for the offices of
President and President and for
Congress. Under provisions of this bill
candidates would be limited to eXpend-
ing the following amounts: President.
S50,OOo: Vice President $4,000; Sena-
tors, $1,000: Representatives, s2.500.
This bill is admittedly the most dras-
tic attempt to limit campaign contribu-
tions ever presented to Congress- The
limit of $50, 900 upon the amount to be
collected and expended by either the Re
publican or Democratic party is con-
sidered entirely too small. 1t has been
pointed out that either of the national
committees will spend almost that
much for postage alone
Weakness OF this provision was ad-
mitted on the floor by Representative
