Note to Plumb League

WASHINGTON, April 15.-The Plumb
Plan League made public tonight
letter from Senator Harding, of Ohio,
answering questions propounded by
the league as to how his campaign for
the Republican Presidential nomination
was being financed and as to his atti-
tude toward compelling publication of
campaign expenditures.
As to rumors of large expenditures
Senator Harding said he could say
nothing "dependably" as to other Pres
idential candidates, and added:
"K | may judge from the nature of
widespread organization in my own
State of Ohio | would say that the
rumors of excessive expenditure are
not without foundation. think my
self it is a very great misfortune that
We have crifted into a political system
which makes it possible to pursue such
. pre-convention program"
Expenditures by Harding
The Senator said that in fairness to
those charged with abnormal expendi-
lures" he was impelled to say that he
knew of nothing "such as we ordinarily
denominate corrupt" about them. OF
bis own campaign he said
II do not know precisely how much
has been expended to date, but at the
last conference l held with my man
ayers we contemplated an expenditure
approximating $4,000. l do not know
personally of a single contribution to
this fund in excess of $1,000, except
that subscribed by my brother-in-law,
who was good enough to send in a
check for $4,000. ! do not believe we
have single corporate subscription
from any source.
Thirty thousand dollars of the fund
already raised was subscribed by my
friends and neighbors in my home city
of Marion, Ohio. I am expecting to
make a contribution of $4,000 myself.
It is possible that our expenditures
will fall short of the sum above named.
and | could not be sure, on the other
hand. that the ultimate expenditure
may not somewhat exceed this maxi
mum which have ventured to quote.
Expense Audit Asked
II am constantly in touch with those
who are managing the campaign, but |
feel sure that our expenditure is going
to be an exceedingly limited one as
compared with those made by other
candidates. 1 can be very certain of
one tning-our organization Will not
only be perfectly agreeable to making
= sworn statement of expenditures but
will be. glad to have any auditing
agency audit our accounts and know
precisely what we have done in that
direction
IN short. I cordially agree that we
need a law putting becoming limi-
tation on expenditures relating to Pres
idential nominations. as we'll as we do
any candidates for membership in Con
gress or important state Offices"

House Fixes Size for Force
From Tulv

WASHINGTON, April 15.-An army
of $4,000 men and 10000 officers dur
ing the year beginning next July was
approved to-day by the House in con-
sidering the military appropriation BILL
No objection was made to the appro-
priation for pay, based on these figures,
and no effort was made to provide for a
larger force, although the army reor-
ganization bill as passed by the House
authorizes maximum peace time army
of approximately 100000 men and 18, 900
officers.
In passing on an appropriation of
SGT 100000 for army aviation, the House
adopted an amendment offered by Repre-
sentative James, Republican, Michigan,
directing the War Department to pur-
chase the Selfridge aviation field, in
Michigan, at cost not exceeding

At a recent meeting Of the district
boundary board, some changes we're
made IN various districts. Five sec
tions Of land we're added to District
No. 9, at Wells Springs. and the terri
tory OF District No. 50. lone, was in
creased by the addition Of two sec
tions. In both cases the lands at
tached to the districts we're outside
OF any district and were free from
taxation by the districts. but under
the operation of the new 2 mill tax
measure they would have that much
burden to bear nyway, so the people
interetsd got busy and had the lands
attached to the organized districts.

THE COMPROMISE vERDICTs

Here in Portland the compromise
verdict has become fad, it seems.
Every Criminal Syndicalism jury that
ever event out" and "came back
in" has brought back some sort Of
miserable compromise verdict. There
have been verdicts of "guilty" with
accommodation of "leniency"; "grlil.
ty" with recommendations of "ex.
treme leniency,' and now we have as
the latest, "guilty", with recommen.
dation of "parole."

There is something radically wrong
about this--somewhere. Either the

or there must exist that Unnecessary

that dictate the verdicts that these

Passing the buck over on the Judge

they are not. A recommendation for

STILL AT 1T =. "WATCH-
FULLY WAITING"

+ WASHINGTON. President Wilson
is absolutely alone among officials at
Washington in refusing to lift the
trade blockade against Russia.
Within the past week Secretary
Colby and all heads of Bureaus at the
State Department signed their names
to memorandum in which they in
formed the President that in their
judgement the illegal and unauthorized
blockade of Russia should be abandon
ed forthwith.
This information comes to your cor
respondent from the most responsible
authority. On the same authority it
can be stated taat President Wilson
refused to endorse the suggestion or to
give his reasons for not doing so.
Under Secretary Polk, a bitter and
long standing enemy of Russia, is
among those who informed the Pre-
sident that the time had come to lift
the trade ban. The petition was signed
also by the chief of the foreign trade
bureau and the head of the Russian
division of the State Department
These gentlemen united in saying that
pressure from American business men
for opportunity to share in the Russian
market could no longer be resisted
without precipitating scandal. The
Secretary of Commerce gives his hearty
endorsement to the memorandum.
Comment for publication is i'm
possible to obtain from those who
signed the recommendation, but they
do not hesitate to say in private tina;
the President Is solitary policy of OBJ
structioh will eventually have to give
way before the mounting demand Of
business men for admission to the only
foreign market left where gold pay.
ments can be had upon delivery.
