Congressman Johnson on Lobbying, 13d I tor The Advertiser: President Woodrow Wilson render ed a distinct public service when he made the statement that there was an insidious lobby in Washington. Some newspapers and some public men pretended to see in tho Presi dent's statement a reflection on tho Senate, as the Tariff 1 >i 11 was then in the Senate. An investigation was ordered. It did not take long to lo cate several lobbies. It was soon de veloped that the sugar producers had spent eight hundred thousand dollars in the last lew years. What do you think of a gentleman getting a salary of ten thousand dollars a year with "an allowance" of one thousand dol lars a month to "entertain"? The justification for lobbyists is that they are "experts" and are well Informed and they are here to give Congress "information". If that is their busi ness they should give the Information openly and publicly and go back home. fOmmlneill lawyers come here to ar gue cases before the Supremo Court of the Pnitcd States: but they argue the cases in public ami in the hear ing of the other side. When the cases are argued they go home. They do not lie around Washington and "en tertain" the Judgas. Exports who come heir to inform Congress should do It openly and then go home. Husi ness people w ho spend large sums of money to hire smooth, plausible fel lows to remain here and entertain are either seeking favors they know they are not entitled to or they are con scious that they already are enjoying privileges that ought to he taken away. The average man does not ask for special favors. The average man de pends on his chosen representative to do what is right. How important It is that we who are elected as repre sentatives should represent the mass es loyally, faithfully, righteously. I am glad President Wilson has direct ed attention to lobbying.
