FOR PUBLICITY BILL A Prompt and Favorable Action Strongly Urged / CONGRESS SHOULD PASS LAW Petition Signed by Committee of the National Publicity Organization Will Be Presented to the Senate and Honso. Washington, Special.—Congress is urged to action on legislation requir ing the publicity of campaign funds u a petition which will be presented :o the Senate by Senator Culberson, >f Texas, and to the HOUSQ of Rep resentatives, by McCall, of Massachu setts.

"The association has limited the scope of its efforts to securing*pub licity of contributions made to nat ional committees and Congressional sommittees formed to influence in ! more than one State elections where members of the national House of Representatives are to be " chosen; and to promote by all appropriate moans State legislation designed to accomplish in every State the same purpose of publicity. Co-Operation Necessary. "It is thought that the wisest method of preventing election cor ruption through money contributions will be not through national laws alone nor through State laws alone, but through both methods; each co operating and not conflicting with the other and both making the best and most effective system. There can not be any doubt of the power of Congress to do what we propose, nor any doubt aboot the power of the State to provide the additional regu lations desired. "The National Publicity Bill Or ganization is non-partisan and hopes that the efforts to secure the bene ficial laws so much needed will not become involved in the controversies of political parties. But it is impos sible to overlook the fact that the present minority party will impose upon the majority party the weighty responsibility £or the failure of any legislation, if such failure shall en sue. To avoid RUCII a deplorable poli tical issue, should not the members of both parties unite in postponing all propositions in which there may be a sincere division of sentiment and in passing through Congress without further delay a bill upon which all cordially agree?"
