Iowa state bystander. [volume] (Des Moines, Iowa) 1894-1916, 1906-10-26

railroad rate regulation IL one Of the
most notable victories achieved against
corporate power.
Governor Cumn1ins and the Republicans
Of Iowa who are with the president de-
serve great credit for their part In the
reform.
The allied corporation and democratic
forces engaged In fighting Governor Cum
minis and the Republican ticket did every
thing in their power to discredit the pres
ident and to checkmate the movement for
effective rate regulation. They are to-
day making their fight for the same rea-
sons that they made their night last year.
The victory for rate regulation Is not
wholly won; 1t will not be 4 complete
victory until the people have testified
to their appreciation OF the work Of the
men who have been foremost in the
movement and condemn by their votes
tho men who threw every possible OBJ
stacle In the way OF effective rate regu-
lation.

The Lobbyist an Evil.

At this point must be permitted to re-
fer specifically to one phase OF corporate
interference that ought speedily to disap-
pear under the righteous Indignation Of
honest men. The professional lobbyist
has. regret to say. become one of the
features Of legislative assemblies; he has
become stencil in the nostrils OF a de-
cent community: and he ought to be
driven with the lash Of scorn, pursued
by the penalties Of the law, from the
presence OF every official and from the
precincts Of every legislative body In the
republic. Do not understand me to s,Ie-
gest that the halls OF legislation should
be inaccessible to either the Individual or
the corporation. The right OF petition is
as sacred as II Is venerable; and through
II the wants objections. or complaints Il
should be made known with absolute
freedom: not only so. but the right to
pirate committees should be sedulously
preserved. The lobbyist. however, who
Is for anything or against anything for
hire, whose mission X IL to promote one
measure or defeat another, who haunts
the chambers Of iegisa ZION ana taints
its atmosphere with his corrupt designs.
who sends for members for interviews In
the cloak room. who carries a tally s.eef
