CITY AGENT IDEA
FINDS DISFAv0R
Claain Points Out Value
OF Representative with
Voice in House.

In response to a suggestion from
Senator William H. King of Utah at
the Board of Trade meeting last
Wednesday night that a paid city
agent be elected or appointed to take
care of the wants of the National
Capital in Congress, Roy c. Clafiin
of the Merchants and Manufacturers
Association, has written a letter to
the Senator, protesting the idea.
"A city agent" writes Mr.. Clafiin,
would be in reality a professional
lobbyist. A delegate member, such
as is desired by the people of Wash
ington. would be an officially recog-
nized representative of the peoples
interests. and all their interests
would share alike. On the other
hand" Mr.. Clafiin states. "a city
agent. il paid directly by washing
tonians, as suggested. would natur-
ally be prejudiced in favor of the in
terests of those citizens or business
concerns paying him the larger por-
tion of his salary.
Defend the District.
"A duly elected delegate" the let
Ter continues, representing the peo-
pie of the District in the House Of
Representatives would give us all the
advantages that you point out for
a city agent, and many additional
ones. An advantage OF immeasurable
value to Washington would be the
right of such a representative 10
