TDEPIIESENTATIVE I? L ANTON of Texas, whose recent narrow escape from expulsion from the house xvill he recalled, has bobbed up' apiin xvith all his old-time vior. Thi time he laid bare the ancient "scandals" of the house and senate restaurants; the house barber shop, the mileacre and the stationery room. Concerning the latter he said. In part: Mr. Illanton. In exery conzre each one of tis has credited to his account JsoTo for stationery. Let me shoxv you some of the things they keep there In the stationery room for congressmen of the United States to buy xvith govvernment money. Take, for Instance, carving knifes and forks, xvith steels like this. (Exhibiting them.) This is a leather-bound poker set, xvith four decks of cards and full of red and xvhlte and blue poker chips.

If it should be adopted and enforced, the method of relief apalnst extravagant expenditures xviU be the same in the senate that it would have been under the act If the act had been held constitutional. ""The rule offered is long. It provides for the filing by the candidate of Itemized statements of moneys received In aid of his candidacy: of moneys expended by him, and of political promises made, the same being forbidden. No candidate shall expend any sum In the aggregate, in excess of the amount xvhich he may lawfully expend, under the laxvs of the state in xvhich he resides; provided, that no candidate shall expend any sum, in the aggregate, exceeding $10.000 in any campaign for his nomination and election. Wilful violation by a candidate deuies him the right to a seat. Bank of Nations stoek the bill would offer $J00,(K)0,(.KX) of the stock for sale to bankers and exporters and importers interested In International commerce. . They might also have checking accounts in the bank. The bill xvould then offer for sale to other nations of the xvorld $90O,0O0.(X)t of the capital stock, provided they entered into the necessary treaties to become stockholders.
