PEOPLES LOBBY HAS
MARKED NEW EPOCH
LEGISLATIVE INNOVATION Is
TO BE PERMANENT
Work Done by Organization at Sacra-
mento Declared to Be of In
estimable Benefit TO
Citizens

SACRAMENTO, March S.-The recent
Incorporation of the peoples lobby
marks an era in the political history
of California. The tentative organiza-
ton has given way to one of per-
manent character, and friends of genu-
inc popular government in all parts Of
the state have been invited to identify
themselves with the movement by be-
coming members of the lobby. Nominal
fees have been established; the idea
being to gain a membership reaching
into the thousands, and distributed well
over the state, thereby making the
movement popular one in the broad
est sense of the term.
The work of the peoples lobby at
this session of the legislature has been
of inestimable value to the people, if
the newspapers of the state are to be
believed. The proponents of much
vicious legislation have been thwarted
and many desirable measures have
been successfully promoted. A great
deal of the work of the lobby has been
done, of necessity, in secret.
After the Legislature shall have adj
journed the records of it's members on
vital questions will be published in
convenient form for the use of the
people. The publication will include
not only a handy tabulation of the
votes on important bills, but the in
dividual record of each member, show
ing exactly where he stood, not only
on the roll call, but in committee work,
in debate on the floor, etc.
This record, which will be sent to
every newspaper and public library in
California and to several thousand in
dividuals interested in the work of this
novel organization, will be found ex-
tremely valuable in future political
campaigns.
Permanent Headquarters
Permanent headquarters in San
Francisco will be occupied as soon as
the legislature shall have adjourned.
Until the next legislative session the
lobby, cooperating with various civic
organizations throughout the state,
will keep the people constantly in
formed through the daily and weekly
press and special bulletins of the prog
ress of the work of reform in state and
municipal government George Baker
Anderson will remain as it's executive
head, and Milton I. U'Ren, 26 Mont
gomery street, San Francisco. as its
treasurer The membership fee has
been fixed at 81. The treasurer will
send membership certificates to all APP
plicants upon receipt of the nominal
fee.
The stability of the peoples lobby is
evidenced by the character of the in
corporators. They are:
D. l.. Beard, Napa; DIR. John R.
Haynes, Harley w. Brundige, s. C..
Graham, Meyer Lissner, Marshall Slim
son, Los Angeles; Dr. w. G. Eggleston,

j. Heney, F. S. Britain, Edward L..

The peoples lobby is fighting the
peoples fight. It's motto is: 1.-THE
rights of the people are safe with the
