CAMPAIGN EXPENSES One of the perplexing political prob- | lems of the day is that of campaign ex: | penditures. How much should a can | didate for office be permitted to spend in| behalf. of his candidacy. Some of the amounts expended by re- ! cent canditiates for the Senate ‘seem un- reasonably large, and in some cases in- vestigations of campaign funds have eal sulted in the barring of successful candi- dates. If such investigations are to be continued, dnd they doubtless will be, it seems that there should be.a law definitely fixing the maximum amount that may boy. spent, as is done in some states with’ re- spect to state offices. With our ever growing number of voters it takes a lot of money to reach every voter in the larger states with even one piece of campaign literature. York state there are about five million voters. Ifa single piece of literature were sent to each of these, and the cost of each piece, including postage, printing and ad- dressing, were only five cents, job. This sum wguld leave little margin for the expense of compiling lists, ‘travel for speechmaking, newspaper advertising or other expenditures inseparable from an aggressive campaign. In Ilinois and Pennsylvania the nam-| Fa ber of voters is approximately one-third less than in New York, so it would take ahout $200,000 to reach each voter with one piece of campaign literature and leave f& small amount for other expenses in either of these great states. These figures would only cover pri- mary expenses, while in all three states “mentioned there would be additional out- Einys necessary incident to the general elec- tions. All of which illustrates how futile it is, generally speaking, for a poor man with- out rich supporters to aspire to high of- fice. bi PUBLIC FUNDS WASTED A classic illustration of the habitual waste of public funds at the behest of bureaucrats and their congressional sup- porters was presented hy Senator Fess of Ohio, in ‘referring to the valuation bureau of the Interstate Commerce Commission. This bureau was organized in pur- suance of an act of Congress approved March 1, 1913, for the avowed purpose of determining the value of all railroad prop- erty in the United States, in, order that such valuation might be’ used for rate- making purposes; also to disclose whether the railroads were paying ¢ dividends on wateréd stock. Referring to this 21-year-old bureau, Senator Fess said: ‘To date the bureau has accomplished almost nothing and the cost has been upwards of $100,000,000. It is true that the bureau has placed — valua- tions on many of the railroads as of the year 1914, but what good does that do us in 1934, when so many changes have taken place that the old valuations are useless?” The hundred million of expense noted by the senator refers only to the cost to the government. Even greater. expense has been placed upon the railroad lines them- ‘Selves, through requiring them to furnish Massive volumes of data which were ob- solete “almost before they could“ he firiatty compiled. All of this expense was ulti- mately borne by the public, of course, either through taxation or railroad rates. Still new bureaus are created and the old ones are extended by every Congress, to keep pace with the insatiable demand of certain groups for more regulation, inspec- tion and investigation of the harassed citi- zen and taxpayer. And no end to this sort of thing appears to be in sight. “TRISH COINS Very artistic designs mark the coins of the Irish Free State, which bear rep- resentations of members of the animal kingdem. Each of the yarious dominations ! has its distinctive emblem, but all have the same obverse, an Irish harp. The coins correspond. in value te British money, the denominations and de- signs being as follow: Quarter-penny, a woodcock; half-penny, a sow with litter of pigs; one pénny, a hen with brood chicks; 3-pence, a hare; 6-pence, a wolf- salmon; 2 shillings sixpence, a horse.
