MATTIHGLY BILL WOULD CLEAN UP STATE POLITICS

His Campaign Contribution Publicity Measure Came as Surprise and Caused Senators a Sensation.

CAMPAIGN EXPENSES OF PARTIES INCLUDED

A NECESSARY LAW.

The Commercial club will be commanded by all public spirited citizens

for nutting It band upon a glaring

evil la dispensing the county funds

Whether the club has put its fingers upon Just the right spot is a question about which men will differ. There Is no doubt that, the "Indespensible Public Necessity" clause has been

freely used over the state to lift funds from the public treasury when they should have remained there. It is an easy matter for unscrupulous

officers to imagine an indespensible public necessity. There is where the abate comes in. And yet such necessities occasionally arise. The officer must be given some discretion. "A public office is a public trust" is heold saw which expresses very well the relation of the officer to his constituents. . But the public is entitled to know what that officer is doing. Pkttta welfare thrives best on publicity. The fewer "behind the scene" sets we have the better. And this we take it is the purpose of the amendment proposed by the Commercial club. This amendment provides that "In any case of supposed or claimed Indespensible public necessity the board of commissioners shall file its petition in the circuit court of the county setting forth the reasons therefor, " and that in such court ' there should be a full hearing with a right for any citizen to intervena in his own behalf or for others, and that the prosecuting attorney be charged with the; duty, of appearing in any such proceedings and resisting allowances deemed unnecessary. The proposed law looks like it would put some obstacles in the muchbeaten path to the public treasury. Like other laws its utility can only

be tested by placing it upon the statute books. That some such law is needed all students of public questions know. But definite suggestions for suck a statute have been scarce. It Is an honor to the Richmond Commercial club that the first suggestion of a law, which seems able to graple with the question, originates with it.

Palladium Bureau Indianapolis, Jan. 14.

One of the surprises of the present session of the Legislature was the introduction by Senator Mattingly, of Daviess county, of a bill for the pub

licity of campaign contributions. Sen

ator Mattingly is a republican and one of the leaders of the majority in

the senate.

The Mattingly bill came without

any announcement and made the sen

ators sit up and take notice. It is

most stringent in Its provisions, and if passed it will have much to do with cleaning up the politics of the state. Under the provisions of this bill the campaign expenses not only of the party organization but of the personal expenses of the candidate as well. Corporation gifts are barred, the bill in that particular being similar to the federal Btatute that was in use for the first time during the campaign last fall. ' ' It would be unlawful, under this law for any firm, corporation or other organization of any kind to contribute to a campaign fund. Neither would any such firms, corporations or associations be permitted to make a canvass for funds for such purpose. A corporation Is not even allowed to

promise to contribute. Provisions of the Bill. Every committee conducting campaigns must organize and elect a treasurer, who must receive all contributions made to the campaign fund. Gifts under ficticious names are made illegal. The name of the treasurer must be published on his appointment, says Senator Mattinglyv in order that the public may know who is authorized to receive contributions and who is handling the money. No other member of the campaign is allowed to handle any money or accept any contributions. Ten days before election the treasurer must publish in a newspaper a complete statement of

all contributions received up to that time and all subsequent contributions must be published within twenty days after the election. After these reports have been printed they must be filed with the clerk of the circuit court. The attorney general is authorized to Institute and conduct all prosecutions commenced under this act in any county. He shall prosecute any corporation that contributes in violation of this law.

Heavy Fine Provided.

If the accused person is found guilty

the court shall assess a fine in a sura ten times the amount of the contri

bution to the campaign fund, and if

the offender be a corporation or any

other incorporated company the court

shall order as a part of its judgment the placing of such torporation in the

hands of a receiver. If such receiver

is appointed it shall be his duty to

reduce the assets of such corporation

to cash and pay the fine assessed and

the costs of the proceeding, which shall include a fee of $250 for the attorney general, this fee to be turned into the state treasury.

. One of the unique features of the bill Is that candidates are not allowed to make contributions for political purposes other than their own personal expenses and to properly organized political committees. The candidate violating this section of the bill shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be fined ten times the amount which he contributed and forever be disqualified from holding office of trust and profit. Should any office holder violate any section of the bill he shall be fined in like proportion and be removed from office. Blessing to Office Seekers. Another peculiar feature of the bill and one that will meet the approval of every man who has ever run for

office and been held up at every

street corner for all kinds of dona

tions and contributions, is the one

that prohibits candidates from making

any contributions to any organization of which he is not a member. This,

according to Senator Mattingly, will keep candidates from being held up for church fairs, dance tickets, enter

tainments, raffles and the thousand and one other little grafts to which

the poor candidate falls a victim. And

not only does this provision apply to

candidates, but to office holders as

well. County and city officials are always considered easy prey for the

people with tickets to sell.

The bill also strikes at brewery control of politics through a clause

providing that all liquor dealers, hold

ers of stock In any brewery corporation shall not contribute to campaign funds, under penalty of a heavy fine and a revocation of their license. Successful candidates will be removed from office if it is found that they have in any way violated the cam

paign laws. ' Candidates must file a detailed report of campaign expenses within twenty days after the election and such accounts shall be published. Includes Senatorial Candidates. Under the provisions of this bill candidates for United States senator would be subject to the law as any other candidate, according to Senator Mattingly, and they would be required to file a statement of their expenses the same as the rest. Any candidate who falls to file a report of his campaign expenses may be sent to prison for from two to ten years and be disfranchised forever. The failure of any other person connected with the election system to

obey the law shall be fined not less

than $1,000 and not more than $10,000.

Senator Hawkins, of Portland, came

to bat yesterday with a couple of im-

portant bills which he introduced In

the senate. One provides for an in

heritance tax. Under this law there would be assessed a tax of $1 on each

$J00 on all inheritances left to a fath

er. mother, wire, brother, sister, son

or husband of a daughter. For inner!

tance3 left to uncles, aunts, nieces.

nephews or lineal descendants thereof the tax shall be $2 on each $100. For

these classes inheritances of less than

$20,000 shall be exempted. For other

classes of relatives the tax shall be aa

follows: From $10,000 to $20,000, $3 on

each $100; from $20,000 to $50,000, $4 on each $100, and over $50,000, $5 on

each $100. It is provided that be

quests to religious, philanthropic, sci

entific and other institutions of this

class shall be exempted from taxation. The power of appraising bequests shall rest with the circuit court of the county in which the bequest is made.

All taxes collected in this way shall

be payable tq the county treasurer on

the death of the decedent and interest

at the rate of 6 percent shall be collected when the taxes are not so paid State Employment Agencies,

If Senator Hawkins' employment

agency bill ever gets into a law there

will be a scatterment among the old

line employment agencies. His bill

provides for state employment agencies in cities of the first, second, third and fourth classes. Clerks in these offices shall be appointed by the state

labor commissioner on the recommen

dation of the mayors of these cities

except that in cities of the third and

fourth classes the city clerks shall act

aa the clerks of the labor bureaus

with an additional salary of $50

year. In cities of the first class the clerks shall receive $1,200 a year and

in cities of the second class $1,000

year, the salaries to be paid by the

cities where the respective employ

ment agencies are located. Ia coun

ties having no cities of the classes named the sheriff shall take charge

of the work without extra compensa

tion. To become a clerk in an em

ployment agency an applicant must

have been for ten years a wage earn

er. It is provided that the clerks and

the labor commissioner shall keep in

close touch with the manufacturers

and merchants of the state. Any person making an application for employ

ment shall pay a fee of 50 cents. 40

cents of which shall be refunded in

case employment is not found.

No person is to be allowed to con

duct a private employment agency

without first obtaining a license from

(he labor commissioner, and in such

cases the person getting, the license shall furnish bonds in the sum of $500

each. The bill carries an appropria

tion of $3,000 to put it into effect

NAVAL DISCIPLINE.

An interesting discovery has been made near La Batie Montsalien, the ancient Mons Selencus. It is a Roman oil jar measuring just thirteen feet in circumference, and hooped with iron.

Nearby were found some stelae, and the Abbe Guillaume, the departmental archivist is engaged in deciphering the Latin inscriptions. The jar has been

placed in the museum at Gap to enrich the fine collection of Roman an

tlquities housed there.

- The word "doldrums" is a name giv

en by sailors to that part of the ocean

near the equator in which calms and

light buffeting winds prevail, with

hot, sultry air, local squnlls, thunder and rain. In the doldrums sailing vessels beat about for weeks and they were formerly the dread of those Tea

sels that had to cross the equator

What the 8ailor Will Do to Obta ti

Shore Leave,

As illustrating bow men respond and

adjust themselves to reward, or, what comes to the same thing, the maximum

satisfaction for a given amount of ef

fort, two Instates that came under

my observation while In the navy are very interesting. One cruise was made

on a vessel whose executive officer was

in most respects a very able man.

Discipline in general was admirable.

In arranging for shore leave of the

enlisted men, however, he managed so

to arrange matters, strange as it may

seem, that it was possible for a man In an Inferior conduct grade to get

more liberty than one of the best behaved men. This was of course entirely unnatural and came about from

a combination of two separate systems.

The reason was that naval regulations compelled the giving of at least a cer

tain amount of shor leave to men la

the second grade, while the system be

was using actually allowed less to a

man la the first grade. The result was
