GElORGIA'S ANTI LOBBY Bid,

The Georgia Senate has just passed, by the
vote of IS to 4. an antilobbying bill that should
make it extremely difficult for any interest to
attempt to influence the passage of legislation
except in the most Straightforward and open
handed way
The bill requires that any person present at
the seat of the Legislature in the interest of
legislation shall register his name with the
Secretary of State the specific bill he is to
support and by whom he is employed He must
also file itemized statement of the expenses
incurred by reason of activity. Such lobbyists
may appear before committees but may not
come upon the floor of Senate or House. while
they are in session and may not call a mem

We have urged. and will continue to urge the

liens have a constitutional right to appeal in
behalf of such interest as they may represent.
An antiobbying bill does not contemplate the
denial of this right in it's legitimate express
sion, but it does strike at lobbying in its baser
sense. Such lobbying as has repeatedly brought
the passage OF legislation into disrepute. and
has clothed legislators too often with the cloak
Of scandal No upright representative Of hon

awaken suspicion. Georgia has been wise in
the passage of this act and Virginia would do
