THE POINT OF VIEW


When you go to the legislature or to Wash
ington working for a cause in which you happen
to be interested, you are philosophical citizen
fighting for the common veal.
When the other fellow goes to the Legislature
or to Washington, working for cause to which
YOU object, he is an insidious lobbyist.
That's about the size of the present situation
af the national capital. President Wilson, jour-
neying to New Jersey to exert pressure on the
legislature there in the hope-afterward proved
yain-of passing his jury-reform bill, was a
statesman and gentleman engaged in high and
heneficent duty. George Carter, r. d. Mead and
the other men from Hawaii who protest against
tho massage of an inequitable and unfair tariff
hill are first dogged with Burns detectives and
naxt called before senate committee to tell of
their pernicious actvl'ies,
That the attempt Of certain Democratic lead
e,s has been to stigmatize the sugarproducers in
ths eyes Of the people seems clearly apparent.

the Cummins resolution. 1t passed a Democratic
resolution framed largely by Senator Kern, tn
majority leader Thus the probe of the lobbl
has from the first been made party measure
a measure by the party that is passing the free
sugar bill.
The accounts of the senate proceedings on Thu
point are illuminative:
When the matter of investigating lobbyists came
up Senator Cummins emphatically disavowed being
influenced by any partisan motive. He said the
charge had been made but there nothing what
ever Interior in his action II immaterial, he
said. what party made the investigation. what
party II may hurt He did not care what persons
may fall under it or be INDICATED by it,
Mr.. Cummins hoped the investigating committee
would define the word lobbyist for the of the
American people. that men who come hereafter
may not be uniusty criticised.
"As the charge has been made" said Mr. Cum
MINIS that lobbyists are illegitimately seeking
influence senator's and change the tariff BILL the SEM
ate should determine whether these hundreds Of
pie who come here to protect their interests should
be included
"The word lobbyist does not sound good to the
American people No man likes to be called lob
hyist II sounds as something sinister or mprop-
or was attached to it. The most effective and cor
rupt lobbyist ever knew went within a half
mile of the capitol building where his plans were
carried out"
The definition given of lobbyist by Webster was
read as was the statement of President Wilson re-
gardng the horde of lobbyists here.
This is the time to learn the facts" said MI
Cummins, 'and make it impossible for such body
to gather In the future Never again should pres
ident of the United States be impeled to warn the
country that great measure was in danger OF be-
ing amended through the causes indicated There is
nothing like publicity to destroy the lobbyist Such
man could not live in the full light OF exposure
that would follow this investigation"
Senator Cummins' words are significant
