GOVERNOR OF WASHINGTON AD-
vocATEs NEW LAW IN sPE-
clAL COMMUNICATION.
SENDS NOTABLE MESSAGE
Executive Takes Occasion to Score the
Lobbyists, Who, He Says, Seek to
Prevent Legislation That Is to the
Benefit of the PeopIs, and Work
for the interests of Their Employers.

Olympia, Wash. Aug. 11.-In his
message to the legislature today Gov
crnor NJ. T.. Hay advocates a direct
primary law to apply to the filling of
vacancies in congress. He also rec
ommends the ratification of the pro-
posed income tax amendment to the
constitution of the United States
Speaking of lobbyists, Governor Hay
writes:
During practically every session Of
the Legislature since Washington was
admitted to the Union special interests
of one kind or another have main
tanned lobbyists at the capital for the
purpose of defeating or rendering i'm
potent legislation distasteful to their
employers. The presence of these paid
agents, sent for the purpose of cor
ruption, has been an insult to the
legislator and a discredt to the state.
They seek TO and frequently have sue
ceeded in preventing u free expression
of the popular will. and. emboldened
by their success, they not only direct
their efforts to defeating good and
wholesome laws. but have brazenly
loaned their support to vicious lcgis-
lation."
The governor recommends that lob
byists be required by law to register
filing with the secretary of state
statement as to whom they represent
and in what legislation they are in
terested. After the adjournment of
the legislature, says Governor Hay
the lobbyists should be compelled to
file statement of all their expenses
