states may very properly increase the
power conferred upon their railroad COM

best recourse is, in the spirit OF candor

1t is no more the duty OF the city to ex'

permit a restriction OF competition that
may prove very expensive to those hav'

So far as protecting the public health
against unsanitary plumbing is concern

consequent authority to refuse permits
to work. 1t provides that all work must
be done to the satisfaction OF the plumb

fed by ordinance. go that the public
c res nothing who does the work go it is
done right. ANY number OF mechanics
can be found sighting their work, or ill.,

board before being allowed to work.

new idea in public affairs. This is the
Peoples Lobby.-a non-partisan organi-
zation designed to foster wider knowl-
edge of national legislation. and to in
dorse or oppose such bills as affect the
general welfare of the people.
The basic idea is that. if the people
know the facts on legislative matters,
public opinion will find such wide ex-
preston that it cannot he disregarded.
Channels of publicity are not lacking.
The Peoples Lobby has the support of a
large number of leading newspapers and
of such publications as Success, T"
"Collier's" and "Ridgeway's"
An important branch Of the work of
the organization is the careful compiling
of the public record of every senator and
representative. The people have right
to know from an unprejudiced source.

influence brought to bear on members of
Congress will also be examined into; this
means history of the third House,
the secret lobbyists. who are so success
full in influencing legislation for the
benefit of the especial interests" which
employ them.
The plan seems broad enough and
practical enough to anger great public
