LOBBYING FLOURTSHES

former commander of an American
Legion post in New York complains to
President Roosevelt about the veterans
lobby at Washington which he asserts is
Public Enemy No. l. a somewhat pop
ular phrase these days in designating
things one does not like
Personally we have no use for any kind
of lobby, veteran or otherwise but we can
not see why this particular veteran
should be so agitated over the veterans
lobby. Perhaps he has been excluded
from it.
There have been Hobbies in Washing
ton for years and years, and history
could doubtless produce several that
were as cruel and ruthless" as the Pres
ident's informant claims the veterans
lobby is.
The packing industry, the railroads,
utility companies, oil concerns, h e
churches, the temperance movement, the
liquor interests all have had and in many
cases still have, lobbies doing intensive
work at the capital.
The Legion man complains that
threats are being made to senators and
representatives that if they do not sup
port a veterans special benefit bill, they
will find the veterans and their families
working against them at the next cleo
ton. This is a tame threat compared to
some that have been made in the past.
Lobbying has come to be an accepted
part of the American political system
1t is regrettable that this is so, but it is
fact. and until the people rise up against
the lobby system it will continue to flour
ish.
Imperial Valley is and has been lob
bying in Washington. The same applies
to San Diego, Los Angeles and practical
w every community in the country, big
and little that wants something from the
government.
Practically every bit of legislation that
comes before congress has its lobby, in
fact two of them, ''for and agln' the
proposition. The same thing applies at
state capitols and to a lesser degree IN
municipal governments.
The New York veteran hasn't exposed
ANYTHING new. Instead of bewaillng the
fact that there is lobby of which ne
does not approve, he would serve the
country better by studying means. to
arouse his fellow-citizens to the menace
of the lobby system and enlist their sup
port in eliminating it.
The senators who snubbed the new
Senator Chavez yesterday may have their
arms around him before the week is out.
That's politics.

Dog Racing Bill

SACRAMENTO. May 81 UP
Governor Frank F. Merriam had
before him today bill which would
legalize dog racing on the same
basis as horse racing and create a
state greyhound racing board for
the purpose Of administering and
regulating the industry.
The bill, passed by the senate
late yesterday after approval by
the assembly, would permit pari-
mutuel betting on dogs.
Senator Chris Jespersen, Atasca-
dero, leading opposition to the
measure, said:
"Dog racing is the crOokedest,
dirtiest racket in the state All
you have 10 do to make the very
finest dog run like a ploWhorse is
feed him some beefsteak or q big
drink of water just before the race.
TWO thirds Of the races are fixed. -
A majority Of senators, however,
felt the bill would regulate dog rae
ing and return the state some rev.
enue. The bill was passed by a
vote of 20 TO 10.

UNCLE WIGGMY'S BUTTERCUI

One day when Uncle Wiggily was
hopping across a field looking for
an adventure. the rabbit gentleman
saw many bright yellow flowers
cleaning in the sun.
"Ah, hal exclaimed Mr.. Long
ears, twinkling his pink nose, 1.-the
buttercups are in blossom. Spring
surely is here now I am glad. -
AS he hoped closer to the yellow
flowers, Uncle Wiggily saw one lit
tie red-spotted Squiggle Bug hold
ing a buttercup beneath the chin
of another Squiggler.
"Do 1 ike butter?' buzzed the
first Squiggle Bug.
Indeed, you do, very much, y
answered the other bug. II see
bright yellow color under your
chin.D
Uncle Wiggily laughed to see the
Squigglers doing what he had done
when he was a boy rabbit. OF
course, whether you love butter or
don t like It, if you hold butter
cup flower beneath your chin and
look in a mirror you can see a
gleam of yellow reflected there. It's
Just little trick.
While the Squigglers were max
ing sure that they liked butter,
Uncle Wiggily hoped on until he
met Mrs. Moo, the lady cow who
was eating green grass in the field
near the place where the butter
cups were in blossom.
Good Morning, Mrs. Moo
GOOD morning, Mrs. Moo! -
greeted Uncle Wiggily. "Do you

Quoted and tortured him. it might seem
undesirable for an outsider to criticize
nm nevertheless we believe ATTORNEY
Henry Bodkin OF Los Angeles is letting
sentiment overrule Justice. in seeking eX-
eeutlve clemency for two men condemned
10 death under the states new Lind
bergh law" according to news dispatches.
The men abducted Bodkin and his
wife, tortured him brutally in an effort
TO make them reveal the location of their
money and jewels and departed with
their loot, leaving their victims in such
condition that they had TO 90 to a hos
pital
Later the men were apprehended. tried
and convicted, the jury returning a YER
dict of guilty with no recommendation
for leniency, and, under the law, were
sentenced TO execution.
Bodkin, it is reported, visited the mer
in prison and has formed the opinion
from his talk with them that in commit
ting the crime they were merely carry
ing out the orders Of a higher up" In
less he can produce better argument
than this, there is no valid reason why
the law should not be carried out in con-
formity with the verdict Of the jury.
The crime the men committed was
cruel, deliberate and prompted solely by
desire to get money without working
for it. Men Of this type are of no use to
civilization. On the contrary they are a
distinct menace to It. Even granting
that there may be something desirable
in the makeup of these two men, it is no
argument in their favor In fact it is an
argument against showing them any
clemency for they deliberately subdued
any finer impulses they may have to re-
vert to the savage type
Attorney Bodkin, much as one is forced
to admire his willingness TO forgive and
forget, will be serving the state and his
fellow-citizens by permitting the law to
take its course. Such action may pre-
vent others from following the example
of the two whom the law has condemned
and make conditions safer for society in
