ingtOn that is discussed privately in
into public print, is the alleged con-
nection of certain senators and repre-
sentativeS with private corporations
1t is currently reported that some of
the legislators, particularly those who
are lawyers, are retained in an adj
visOry capacity. This employment is
not shouted from the house tops be-
cause of the likelihood of embarrass-
ment to legislators involved. Ethical
ly, at least there is broad difference
between accepting employment from
organizations interested in legislation
and in returning to the old home town
to openly engage in law practice be-
fore the local courts. 1t is hard to
trace these secret connections, but
sometimes a clue is given in the
clients that retired Legislators have on
their book when they return to private
life. There are many legislative coun-
selors appearing before the senate and
house committees and governmental
departments who would approve of an
impartial Investigation in order to dis
close the identity of men on the Fed
eral payroll taking secret fees.
Few people are cognizant of the
strategy involved in carefully worded
public statements regarding the tariff.

Washington, July 24.-Signs point
Enthusiastically to prolonged and bitter
controversies when the end of the con-
gressiOnal recess provides forum
for legislators. The opinion expressed
by George w. Wickersham, chairman
of the Hoover Law Enforcement COM
mission, for changes in prohibition en-
forcement, is calculated to provide the
spark for the political gunpOwder in
the wet and dry issue. The insistence
of Senator Caraway of Arkansas, for
an investigation into the lobbying ac-
tivities in connection with tariff legis-
latiOn also uncOvers a source of
trouble. The initial activities of the
Federal Farm Board are being care
fully watched by the politicians with
the hope of making political capital
out of the new agency's errors of COM
mission and omission. Dissention is
easily provoked in Washington.
The proposed Investigation of lob
bies causes more concern to the legis-
lators than to the legislative spokes-
men of various groups in the Capitol.
There have been sporadic attempts
to investigate influences at work on
current legislation for many years.
The most effective inquiry was con-
Quoted in 1913, especially in connec-

Jens Jensen, son of Mr.. and Mrs.

their farm northwest of town, was
killed in Chicago Sunday when his
airplane crashed.
Mr.. Jensen had been flying for sew
eral years and was known to be eff

unknown He had his own plane and
was in the business of taking passen-

killed.
Mr.. Jensen was not so well known
here as he has been in Chicago many
years; he also was proprietor of a
garage there and was an expert me-

and single.
His body is being transported to
