former members of the House or
Senate, defeated by their constitu-
ents and earning a living through
their familiarity with the machinery
Of government and their acquaint-
ance with officials.
Others are former employees of the
executive departments. A few de-
partments forbid men who leave
them to represent clients before
them for two years, but others are
not so strict.
The newest lobbying wrinkle Of all
has Just been devised by the state
of Arizona. 1t is sending an am
bassador to Washington to see that
Arizona gets it's share Of anything
the Federal government is parceling
out.
MANY congressman have been do
ing this so faithfully in the past
that they have been called log
rollers instead of statesmen, and
Washington is waiting to see
whether the new system will release
them for s~tatecraft or whether the
two kinds of representatives from a
single state will compete for plums
to take home.

was based upon house-to-house
canvasses made by FILA workers.
indianapolis, with a population of
1884, 81 1880 census) has a quota of
s3,923,6 $50 in m-odernization and re-

the goal. The FLA chart shows that
S468, 1922 already has been spent
here in modernization.
The volume OF. business created in
Marion County since Aug. l is es-
timated by the FILA at $51 300, 900.
Bank loans in this county in that
period were $64, 1888 to home modern
izers. Total loans were $469 ,922.
Totals for Indiana show that ST.
O08, 181 of moderniZation work has
been accomplished out of a total of
$14,224, 379. High honors go to little
Newberry with a population of 366
persons. The goal was set for S3843,
but already the town has spent
$4312. The per cent of goal is
therefore 112.
Six cities, Crown Point, Elkhart,

WASHINGIO April Lobby
ing IS the second biggest industry in
the nations capital Government IS
the first.
So well established is this indus
try that many special-interest
groups have permanent headquart-
ers in Washington. Many Of their
spOkesmcn have been around the
capital longer than most members
Of Congress. It's hard 70 find any
one who can remember when James
A. Emery with his trim white gOatee
was not presenting the case Of the
National Association Il Nanufac-
turers before any committee con-
sidcTing industrial n labor legisla-
ton.
The business lobby N. A NJ. plus
the United States Chamber OF Com
mercel. the labor lobby and the
veterans lobby are the three most
effective special - interest groups
operating in the capital. All draw
their strength from the numbers Of
voters they represent and the broad
distribution Of those voters.
There is not a congressional dis
trict in the country in which the
organized business vote, the solid
vote Of labor. or the vote Of ex-
service men and their friends could
not cause a candidate for Office con-
siderable trouble.
Opposite White House
The Chamber Of Commerce nc
cupies its own imposing marble
structure across Lafayette Square
from the White House. It's president
appears before congressional COM
mittees himself instead Of hiring an
agent 20 do 50 for him, and between
times the Chamber pOurs forth
statements. reports and a weekly
news bulletin setting forth the views
Of business and industry.
The American Federation Of Labor
has its oWn building too. although
less imposing and less s~trategically
situated. It's president also appeals
directly TO the government. and is
sues statements and bulletins. and
the Federation keeps a nan at the
Capitol most Of the time reminding
legislators Of its wants. Edward r.
McGrady did the JOB most efficiently
until he became Assistant Secretary

A Thought for Today
Why An Ex-Senator?

We presume we may be criticized Tor daring to utter reproach at the appoint ment of former U. s. Senator Frederic C. Walcott as Public Welfare Commissioner by Governor Wilbur L. Cross. We recall quite we'll during the campaign of 1854 how many adherents of Senator Francis T. Maloney, including the senator himself, were taken to task for calling attention to the former national legislators public career in Washington and in general en- deavoring to show that he was no better qualified to represent this state in the U. s. Senate than was his honorable op- ponent.
 In sense somewhat similar sentiments have caused us to complain at this latest selection of the governor. We have no fault to find with MT. Walcott personally. He is most charming and engaging man, whether in public or private conversation. His talents are many and diversified He has proved himself we'll equipped mentally and physically to engage in the tedious duties that confront the man who devotes himself to governmental duties. But we feel sure that the gentleman of whom we speak would be just as quick to say that the same things might be said with equal truth and force of many other men ln Connecticut.
 We are not going to exclaim loudly be- cause Governor Cross did not appoint I democrat to this job, although he could have done this just as we'll as not. Per- haps he believed that rejection of Senator Harvey L. Thompson for the office of State Agent, the duties of which office are now incorporated with those of the Public Welfare Commissioner, gave him sufficient reason to name republican. But surely he knew that appointment of a republican to the office would arouse the democrats just as appointment of demo- crat aroused the republicans.
 In such case as this discretion might have whispered that compromise was called for. Why not some leading social ist in the state for Public Welfare Con- missioner? We dare say Mayor Jasper McLevy of Bridgeport could handle the job as well as any democrat or republican. If neither democrats nor republicans in the Legislature could bear to see the socialists carrying away such fancy plum as thls commissionership must be, then surely it was not exactly good politics in the last few days of the legislative session to throw before it the name of so prominent a republican as MT. Walcott. It is con- troversial appointment just as much so as would have been that of the former com missioner of motor vehicles, Robbins B. Stoeckel, who at one time was named specifically as this new commissioner Tn the bill calling for consolidation of the several state departments. Controversy with the Assembly facing important legis- lation in it's final three days of making laws is not relished.
