ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO DECEIVE THE PUBLIC The campaign contribution publicity bill passed by congress Is mere humbuggery—a transparent bluff —an insolent attempt to deceive the public. It provides for publication "after” election. The democrats insisted that I the publication should be “before elections, when publicity would mean something. On this subject the Indianapolis News says: “The action taken yesterday will no doubt afford great relief and encouragement to the republican congressional campaign committee, which has steadily opposed pre-election publicity. The members of this committee appeared to think that such publicity would ruin their chances for obtaining money. From this one might almost infer that they expect to get funds from those who are ashamed to make contributions, or from such suspicious sources that public knowledge of their origin would discredit their candidates. Why they should think that they would suffer so much more than the democrats they do not explain. Incidentally, the failure to provide for pre-election publicity is another thing that the republican spellbinders will be called on to defend on the stump. It will not be easy to convince the voters that it is none of their business who is paying a candidate's campaign expenses until 1c is too late for them to do anything about it. For some reason, impossible to understand, the republicans

this year seem determined to load themselves will all the embarassments possible.” How can the government control the trusts when the trusts control the government?—Senator Owen of Oklahoma. When President Taft went into office he said that government expenses should be reduced. But they have not been reduced. On the contrary, the session of congress just closed managed to get away with more money than any of its predecessors—many millions of dollars mor* The total appropriations for the fiscal year ending June .10, 1910, was $1,044,000,000, wheras the appropriations tor the fiscal year ending June 30, 1911, are about $1,058,000,000. Such expenditures are absolutely unjustiafiable. When the president came into office he declared for economy with a flourish of trumpets. The newspapers were full of what he was going to do in that regard to relieve the taxpayers of the land. But all such talk turned out to be a thudering in the index. NUMBER OF STORES TO CLOSE.
