Hatch and Gillette
Lay Plans TO Tighten
Clean Politics. Laws
New Mexican Urges
Reports to Be Attached
To Income Tax Blanks
RS the Associated Press.

ES the Associated Press.
Two leaders in the fight for strict
er Federal regulation of politics
Senators Hatch, Democrat, of New
Mexico and Gillette, Democrat, of
IoWa-announced plans today for
Tightening up existing statutes.
Senator Hatch, author of the So
called clean politics" law, outlined
proposal under which all persons
who make or receive political con-
tributionS would have to report the
sums involved on form attached
to their annual income tax reports.
Such reports would be required
whether or not an individual was
exempt from paying income taxes.
The contribution statements would
be made public, Senator Hatch said,
and any one who reported falsely
or failed to report would be subject
to fine and Jail sentence.
He also proposed fixing a definite
limit on the amount any individual
could contribute to political cam
paign At present there is a S5 1000
maximum on contributions to a ma
tional campaign, but contributors
may make other gifts to State COM
mitteeS.
There also should be rigid over
all limit on the amount that may be
spent in national campaign, Sena-
tor Hatch declared. The present
limit is s3,OOO,O 600 for the central
party organizations, but additional
expenditures now may be made by
allied groups.
In addition, Senator Hatch said,
1t might be wise to require political
organizations to report all receipts
and expenditures monthly, regard
less of whether a campaign was in
progress.
Senator Gillette, who headed the
Senate committee investigating ex-
penditureS of the last campaign,
said he was considering a bill mod
eled after the English law which
would require candidates or party
organizations to have a fiscal
agent" to handle all finances and
be responsible for strict observance
of the law.

CONSTIPATION
CAN COME FROM A
ss?i ACTING LIVER

When the liver gets stubborn, as it
often does in temporary constlpa-
ton, you need something more than
ordinary laxative aid. Beechams
Pills, besides being a purely vege-
table laxative that helps produce
q pleasant, thorough movement,
also helps stimulate the flow Of bile
from the liver. 1t is this bile that
acts on intestinal wastes and helps
bring real relief from irregular
elimination. Buy Beechams Pills

fset. pal. that your gal II stiil In
the army.
I'm Just mentioning this side Of
the case TO let you know how the
mugg feels. Last October I wrote
an article called. The Ethics of
Night Club Fighting" when al
the time I knew there weren't
any. But there are ethics Of steal
ting Z pals gai. And the night
club where you are the most vul-
nerable Is one that has both tables
and . bar.
The stays At the bar are Al on
the loose. They nurse . drink
for an hour while they flirt with
the gals who are sitting with their
pals at the tables. They are what
we call looking glass shippers. They
charm your gal like q snake and
It's all done with mirrors. All the
flirtstions In night clubs are on
the second bounce off q looking
glass. II you really want to keep
your gal from = pal take ner 10 =
nirht club that has no mirrors
and stick her head into q rubber
boot.
A fellow who IL keen on the
ethics Of stealing your pals gal
Is the white-haired old gentleman
with the fatherly advice. There's
. man I wouldn't trust any further
than could chin a bass fiddle.
He Is Q sneak In the grease.
OF course, the most dangerous
Of all the pals that steal the gals
Ii the builder-upper and the
booster. He tells your gal what q
swell fellow you are but he digs q
better tunnel than q two-headed
prairie dog.
There's retribution for all CAD
g u. And. sooner, or later. the
false friend steals q gal from q
pal that the pal couldn't have
gotten rid Of any other way.

stealing your pals gal.
Your pal drew that 1873 pebble
from the goldfish bowl. and that
makes him fish food. He is young
handsome and as straight as a
string. You're young. too. but
you're so nesr-sighted you couldn't
locate q piano II you were sitting
on the stool; your feet are nstter
than the other side OF a bass drum
and II two of your back teeth meet
It's blind date.
So your pal IS off TO the wars
and you are there on the sofa COM
forting his gal. She is sobbine
gently. with her shoulder blades
opening and closing like Venetian
blinds. Just TO increase the aura
OF patriotism around the parlor
you fan her gently with your ex-
emption card that Classics you
as G-6. which is the war after the
next one.
Naturally, when you Solace a ga
you have TO put your arm around
her waist. Then her head come:
over on your shoulder. and yor
say. Don't cry. dearie; you still
have me"
That would make smart ga
cry all the harder.
But II she was a smart gal you
wouldn't be on the sofa with her

but for once your exemption card
is correct. You are no terpsichor-
can athlete and. like Achilles. you
are all heel. So when O friend
comes over TO the table. looks at
the gal and says Hello" to you.
you are adrift with seaweed in
your propeller.
When he asks for a dance you
can't make a doghouse out of the
manger. You can't say. "Well, you
know, Eddie. It's my pals gal and
I'm Just escorting her." because
that's the berries and they are not
In season. So. you work up q
sickly smile with a relapse and say,
Sure, go ahead, I don't mind.
Certainly"
The orchestra plays a rhumbs
and off goes your pals gal with
your other pal.

second thief is the best owner
