By way of objection to such limitations of campaign contributions as have been proposed it might be urged that since gifts of services as well as gifts of money are made to campaign committees the former as well as the latter must logically be subjected to regulation. In certain cases it may be admitted that regulation of services is necessary. Particularly is this true of civil service employees. It is by no means improbable that it may be found advisable to enforce by law their complete abstention from all kinds of political work, leaving them nothing beyond the right to cast their vote. Certainly a very considerable amount of trouble is experienced at the present time in keeping them clearly within the legal, but not always self-evident, lines drawn by civil service acts and rulings. With this exception, perhaps, there would seem to be every reason to leave campaign contributions of services free from every restriction but publicity. No means should be neglected of encouraging the widest possible participation by amateurs in party activities and party management, and this is one such means. It is true, of course, that the services of some exceptionally able men may be equivalent to money gifts of tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars, and also that such gifts may not be equally or even proportionally divided among the parties. Normally, however, the differences between individuals as to their political abilities are not to be compared in magnitude to the existing enormous differences in wealth which have made regulation of money contributions a necessity. And if one party is pre-eminently the gainer through gifts of services by brilliant men certainly it would seem to deserve any advantage thus obtained. Its rivals may thereby learn the value of the enthusiastic support of men of talent, and bestir themselves to revise their own programmes so that such men may be induced to enlist in their fighting columns. It is possible that minor parties and reform movements are relatively more successful in this way than the great parties. If so no dislocation of the political balance of power is likely to be occasioned by a policy of regulation of monetary contributions coupled with _laisser faire_ as to contributions of services. Usually the strength of minor parties in enthusiastic personal support will still find itself more than outmatched by the strength of the old line parties in traditional fealty, in practical experience, and in greater monetary resources. Whatever additional reform measures may be suggested by further experience with regard to the publicity and restriction of campaign contributions, two broad general principles would seem to apply in the application of all legislation of this character.
