Statement That Secretary of Senate

Washington, Aug. 31. Primary elec

first to be Bled under the new public

leached the oilice of Secretary licii
nett oi the senate, lu the absence of
Secretary lkniiett, otlicials of his of
fi e declined to niako them public,
following ti.is declination a careful
examination of the now publicity law
reunited iti the startling disclosure
that in the act, presumed to be most
drastic, there is no requirement lor
publicity of the individual statements
ti'ed by candidates for the senate or
tbe house ol representatives.
The law rcq iires the fi'iius of In II
vidual expmse statements aud places
of appointments, but it is apparently
left to the discretion of th"J secretary of
tue senate or the clerk of the house,
as the case may be, to decide whether
these statements shall be given to the
public. The publicity law of 1910 re
quired that the expenses of campaign
committees "shall be a part of a pul
lic record" in the office ol the clerk of
the house md "shall be open to public
inspection."
The statements received from Sena
tors Ma-tin r.nd Swanson will be for
warded to Secretary IVniiett in New

upon the new law Is not known. It

in Force.
Lincoln, Am?. 31. In a lengthy let
ter giving his opinion on different
phases of the new bank guaranty de
posit law, Attorney General Grant

that he can deposit m no bank more
than 30 per cent of the amount of the
capital stock of that bank.

says that bonds given for the secur

by any public official, therefore vari
ous state banks which gave such
bonds for the security of state funds
in their possesion prior to the going

must continue to keep such bonds
alive until their leiral teimlnatlon at
least.
