Michigan Senator Directly Ac-
cuses Chief Executive.
cAAReE CREATES SURPRISE
Witness Before Committee Defines Z
Lobbyist in Such Manner 40 to
Include Chief Executive.

Washington, June Senator Town
send of Michigan exploded a real
bomb in the senate tariff lobby investi-
CATION when he made the specific
charge that President Wilson's use
of patronage as a club to force Demo-
cratic senators to accept without
question the Underwood bill just az
it passed the house is itself lobbying
of an insidious character.
Senator Townsend's charge came
as surprise to the committeeman.
The investigation had proceeded IN a
humdrum manner until he came to
befine lobby"
Il understand by the word lobby,
or rather lobbyist--because the lobby
is composed of lobbyists-that tho
lobbyist is a person whose business
Is to promote or prevent legislation
upon some particular subject. That
influence may be proper or improper.
according to the methods he en-
ploys."
Senator Walsh interrupted to seek
an explanation of just what Senator
Townsend was driving at.
Il repeat" said Senator Townsend,
"a lobbyist is a person whose busi-
ness it is to secure or prevent some
particular legislation, such as the of.
fer or payment of money or other
thing of value, extending favor or en-
tertainment to legislators who are
about to act upon legislation; by In
sdious threats of political opposition.
by holding out prospect of political
reward or by Withholding patronage.
Never Saw Improper Methods.
81 have known many lobbyists who
have been interested in legislation by
proper means. l have not known of
anybody who. by the use of money or
the proposed use of money, by the Of
fer of reward or by entertainments,
has sought to secure some particular
legislation.
THE nearest approach to undue in.
fuence which would come within my
definition, in my Judgment. has been
the influence exerted by the presi.
dent and by the use and power OF the
party secret caucus.
81 am convinced that some senator's
will vote in favor of the tariff bill and
against proposed amendments because
of the fear Of antagonizing what is
known as the power Of the admins
tration.
"You believe coercion, or a species.
of lobby, can come from the executive
department as we'll as from outside
it," asked Senator Nelson.
81 do, yes sir" said the Michigan
senator. 81 have no doubt about that
in my mind and I have not so much
fear from the corruption OF senators
as | have from the encrOachment on
the legislative by the executive branch:
and I am not blaming this executive
any more than I would anybody else.
It seems to be rather popular nova
days.
The senate agreed to extend the
time limit for the lobby investigation
twenty days. or until June 2S.

Naikado's Government Declares Action
Of California i. Discrimination
Against Friendly Power.
s,-tssS

Toxic, June THE rejoinder OF
Japan to the United States note on
fhe subject of the alien land owner
ship legislation reiterates that the bill
passed by the California legislature
violated the spirit of the Japanese
American treaty by discriminating
against friendly power.
1t points out that even if the ques-
klon is an economic one, it enters the
domain of international relations and
therefore becomes a political question.
The note says that the California
land legislation violates article | Of
the Japan-American treaty of 1911.
which authorizes subjects or citizens
of the contracting parties to own or
Tease houses, which are inseparable
parts of real estate. ...
Contrary to Constitution.
1t also declares that the new bill
violates the fourteenth amendment to
the United States Constitution, requir-
ing the state to grant equal protec.
fiea under its laws to all persons with
In its jurisdiction
Interest in the ,Tapanese-American

culture and commerce. declared that

INCOME TAX BILL Defective
Amendment Will Probably Be Drafted
at Once.

Washington. June 5.-Before the
senate acts on the Underwood tarif

amended to remedy a defect which. it
was discovered, would make the meas,
nre unconstitutional
When the trainers of the income
tax provision fixed Jan. /, 1913, as the
date from which to compute incomes
For taxation they overlooked the fact
that the constitutional amendment au-
thorizing an income tax was not pro-
claimed as ratified until Feb. 25. 1913.
This fact was brought to the at
teHtion Of the senate finance subcom-
mittee, which has the income tax I'M

probably will be drafted at once.

At a political meeting in a certain
New South Wales gold-mining dis

Ietic miner. The candidate during
his speech was much interrupted by
hootings and rough chaff, and his
chairman was soon in a state OF boil
ing indignation. Smothering his
wrath. however, he pacified the
boys by assuring them that at the
end Of the candidates speech they
should be at liberty to put any ques'
ton they chose. Accordingly, at the
end of the harangue he arose and In
ouired in s%tentorian tones and in a
rich Irish brogue: His "inny gintle-
man a questhion to airsk?" A stout
little Welsh miner, who had been a
conspicuous disturber of the peace
of the evening, shufled slowly up the
steps of the platform. But at the
top he was met by the chairman,
who. without the slightest warning,
delivered a terrific left-and-righter,
