Some new’ rules for campaigning
In this and subsequent federal elec-
tions became effective when Presi-
dent Roosevelt signed the Hatch
bill. The measure, sponsored by
Senator Hatch and Representative
Dempsey, both New Mexico Demo-
crats. restricts political activity by
# state and local government workers
paid in whole or part from federal
funds It affects about 300 000.
Heavy Fines Provided
The legislation also places a limit
of $3,000,000 a year on expenditures
9 by the national committee nf poli-
tical parties and limits to $5,000
the contribution of any individual
or organization to a party commit-
tee.
‘TTtis should stop the^e tremend-
ous campaign contributions.” Demp-
sey said. “When someone gives half
a million dollars to a political cam-
paign chest, everybody knows
something is expected in return.”
The limit on campaicn expendi-
tures compares with $8 0(10 000 spent
by the Republican National Com-
mittee and $5 000.000 spent by the
Democratic national committee
1936
Violations of the Hatch act by
state employes could result in their
* dismissal or if the state agency fail-
ed to dismiss them, lost of twice
the annual salaries of the employe
from federal grants
Attempts to u^e federal fund* or
* influence to coerce or intimidate
voters could be punished by fine
of up to $10,000 and imprisonment
of up to a year.

“From a comparison of the past
three years with the previous four
years, it would seem the people of
your county have been saved* from
at least 1.000 reported cases of ma-
laria a year.” Dr. Cox asserted.
“On the basis of 1934 and 1939
statistics, you have 81 pWiple alive
today who would have died during
1939. If you compare 1939 with
1935. then oxer 100 persons are liv-
ing today in Cameron county who
would hiave died.”
“I do not knoxv what your budget
may show, but I do know that your
budget of human lives is definitely
in the black." Dr. Cox added.

Judge Dancy declared "the greatest
loss to American is sickness."
He said an estimated $20,000 -
