SMALL CONTRIBUTIONS
MARK THE CAMPAIGN
Range from $50 Cents to $1,000
to Aid Republican Party
Elect Hoover.

Topeka. Kans.. July 8 UP) -
Small. popular contributions ranging
from $50 cents to $1,000" rather
than large corporation contribu-
tions for the financing of the re-
publican presidential campaign are
urged in letter from Senator Ar
thur Capper, Kansas, TO Hubert
Work. chairman OF the national re-
publican committee.
Limiting contributions TO small
amounts, Capper said, would restore
the confidence OF the country in the
cleanness of political campaigns,
and would reduce the appearance
OF campaign financing by large in
terests expecting political favors In
return. 1t also interests more men
and women in their party RESPONSE
bility, he pointed out.
The gigantic size of campaign
funds" the letter said, "has led not
only to extravagant and altogether
unnecessary expenditures, but to
scandals that are developed by vir-
tually the entire party membership.
THE campaign budget of $4,000
eight years ago Capper character
lied as "scandalous and entirely ex-
cessive."
The state OF Kansas will be re-
publican by an old time republican
majority" Capper assured Work.

ITALIAN fLIERS To
GO ON With Flight
Will Continue From Natal,
Brazil, for Rio About
Mid-Week

Natal. Brazil. July 9 UP)-Thc
victorious flight Of Majors Arturo
Ferrarin and Carlo Del Prete, who
spanned the Atlantic from Rome to
Brazil, probab bly, will continue about
mid-week to Rio De Janero it Wa
learned today.
The two Italian flyers returned to
Natal from Touros Sunday bringing
parts of their big Savoia- -Marchetti
monoplane that needed repairing.
This work will take some hours but
the two flyers expected to return TO
Tournos today.
The plane landed on a fat topped
hill near Lake Cafe which adioins
the little fishing and sugar town OF
Touros. There is a population of
5000 at that Brazilian city and
everyone there took the greatest de-
light In the big craft that made its
landing after record breaking
flight at the edge of the city.
The Savoia is about two miles the
city proper. Efforts will be made to
transport the plane to tug and tow
it to Natal from where the take-of
TO Rio De Janeiro will be made. It
is probable this take-ofr will be
made from the vicinity of the Natal
docks.
Everywhere the two calm faced
Italians appear they are given tre-
mendous receptions. Yesterday they
received a demonstration on behalf
OF the Italians Of Pernambuco by
the italian Consul 4inoromisi who

CITY ENGINEER SENDS
IN HIS FORMAL BILL
Demand for SAT- Believed
First Step in Expected
Lawsuit

City Engineer Philip A. Merian,
through Attorney Donald Gaffney.
has billed the city for s477 repre-
senting salary alleged to have be-
come due during the period of dis
agreement between the common
council and the board of public
works as to the amount to be paid
the engineer.
In an opinion given last week,
Judge John H kirkham, corpora
ton counsel. expressed a view that
there is actually no salary in exist
ance for the position of city engin-
eer and he mentioned lawsuit as the
most ready means Of collecting.
Formal presentation of the bill is
believed to be the first step in the
direction OF suit although it is
believed common council action in
the way of fixing a salary for the
position will forestall litigation.
Merian's bill is computed on a
basis of a $500 a year salary, the
amount which was paid his prede-
eessor and which was last fixed as
the pay for the position 1t has been
Judge kirkham's opinion that a $3.-
600 salary payment might be within
the law, since Merian had been re-
ceiving this amount. The board Of
public works had recommended q
$4,000 pay the salary committee re-
ducing this figure to $4.5O0, and the
common council rejecting that rec-
ommendation, but fixing no salary.
Under the charter, the common
council may Ak the salary of the
city engineer. but in the case OF all
other employees of the department. it
can do nothing further than to pass
vote approving whatever action is
taken by the board Of public works.

class OF young men and women at

Apparently Respectable.
Some OF these clubs are cloaked

report, written by Georve E. Worth

entertainment and dancing, coupled
with alcohol and a free and easy
atmosphere-and they are open all
