This condition should ne rcmedied
BY providing FOR legisla dive reference
bureau and skilled and impar rtial

Legislative Procedure and Corrupt
Practices.
The honest legislator. on coming to
the capital. finds himself surrounded
by lobbyists. and encounters a chaotic
legislative practice, which makes 1t
difficult for him 20 remain true 10 his
cath OF office and easy to become cor
rnpt. To meet this situation We
pledge:
l. Full publicity in committee hear-
ings.
.. That committee hearings be es-
tablished by general rule scheduled In
advance, and a weekly cumulative bul.
lettn be issued, showing the exac,
status OF each bill and It's history up
TO the time o; publication.
8, That committees be compelled
TO report each and every bill referred
TO them within a reasonable time
with 2 recommendation
L. To prevent stealing. changing or
mutilatlng bills. that bills be intro
duced In dupllca te.
3 That no person shall appear be-
fore the legislature or any committee
thereof. except In public hearings after
registering his name, the name OF his
principal IL any, and the purpose OF
his errand.
s. That 1t shall be a misdemeanor
for the agent OF any corporation or
any lobbyist 10 attempt. except by
public argument at a regular hearing
10 influence the conduct of the legis-
lature or OF any of It's members or
committees; and tina, the giving OF
free transportation. telephone, tele-
graph, express. or other services TO
any public .Shcer and all others ex-
cept ministers and persons engaged
exclusively IN charitable work and
those exempted by congress, shall be
prohibited, with appropriate penalties.
Initiative, Referendum and Recall.
That the people may, with tho least
possible delay secure laws that they
desire, and defeat laws that they do
not desire, We favor the initiative and
referendum,
All public officers should be subject
to recall, under proper safeguards.
Civil Service Law.
All state appontive officers should
be selected on the basis OF merit under
