Washington. Oct. Connecticut Congressman and would-be Congress men. to say nothing of one of the states United States Senators and a Democratic aspirant for his post. have all played their parts during the last week in one of the Capitals perennial farce comedies.
 In more respectful phraseology 1 they have just complied with the part | of the Corrupt Practives act which provides that each candidate must file a prediction statement of all contri. l buttons received and expenditures made by him or in his behalf. with his knowledge and consent"
 Running for office in Connecticut is not. as a rule, costly occupation, and no one doubts that the returns filed by the candidates from that state arc made out with all the good faith in tho world. But the humor of the situa. tion provided by this excellent provis ion of law lies in the fact that nothing at all need be said of contributions to Tor expenditures by state and local com mittees. except insofar as the candi date himself may have directly giver money to them.
 lt is of some interest. at any rate to learn just what personal contrihu tions the candidates received. and how l Ithey disposed of their funds. and thi. information has been made available
 Senator Bingham reported mo con. tributions received, ' and only one dis bursement,- 300. paid to my polit ical agent, J Frederick Baker" The Senator's statement adds that Baker contributed S2.000 to the Republican State Central Committee. and $500 to the New Haven Republican Town Committee.
 Bingham's Democratic opponent. Rollin r. Tyler. of Tylerville. waged "a more economical campaign. according to his statement, which reports only one expeuditure-Si 900. to Fred P. Holt. treasurer of the Democratic State Central Committee. He. also, affirmed that he had received no con tributions.
 No Contributions
 putuam's Congressman. Richard r. Freeman. of New London. and his Democratic opponent. Hermon j. Gibbs, of Yantie. both filed reports on the 21st. to the effect that they had neither received any contributions nor made any disbursements in their cam paiRns.
 E. Hart Fenn. candidate to succeed himself from the Hartford district. reported receipt of $500 eontribu- ton from the Republican National Congressional Committee This did not cover his expenditures, however,

for his disbursements included $500 to the state central committee of his party Si00 ta the Hartford town com mittee. S25 to the Burlington town committee. and S25 for advertising His opponent Henry J Calnen. de- elared he had neither received con= trihution nor made any expenditure.
 John Q. Tilson. of New Haven. Re publican Floor Leader of the House evidently has not had to go into his own pocket in his campaign. He re ported receipt of $500 from the Re publican National Congressional Com. mittee. and expenditure of the same amount. to John B. Tower. his political agent and chairman of the Third Dis trict Republican Organization commit tee.
 John Douehan. of New Haven. Democratic candidate against Tiison reported three contributions from pri. vate citizens. tataling S45. and the ex- penditure of Sil75. for "one copy and print-one sign and 2t slides
 In the Fourth district of the state. Representative Schuyler Merritt re ported no contributions. bnt expendi- ture of St62a.-thc exact amount. ae- cerding to his statement that he was entitled Co spend under the Cannccti- cut law. This um went to his political agent Harry E. Mackenzie
 No Expenditures
 John Held. Jr.. the eartoonist of soh. Margy fame. who opposes Mer- ritt on the Democratic ticket, reported contributions of nothing and ex- penditures fo the same amount
 James P Glynn. Of Winsted. run ming for reelection in the Fifth dis trict. reported what seems a rather curious situation. According to his statement he has received a contrihu- tion of $500 from the National Repub- lican Congressional Committee. but has made no expenditures His state ment was dated the 23rd and il may be he planned te make what dishurse- ments might be necessary. at the elev- enth hour His opponent, Arthur F. O'Leary. of Waterbury. answered the questionnaire emphaticallv enough stating 'No contribution received from any person. form or corpora ton" and No expenditure of any kind made by me or on my behalf to secure the nomination. '
 According to William Tyler Page. clerk of the House. the 2lst was the last day for filing the statements in compliance with the act. which pro- vides n penalty of Si .00d fine or one years imprisonment for vialation of any of it's provisions
 The statements of Glynn. O'Leary and Calnen were filed later than the prescribed date.

 Commissioner Stoeckel took the view that motor vehicle handling IS a state proposition and that the federal government has never taken and prob ably never will take active steps for enforcement of motor vehicle laws, except to the extent of giving nd vice along lines of that of the Hoover conference. That each state taxes it's own motor vehicles and prescrib. es it's own regulations is as it should be, Mir.
