The Bismarck Tribune An Independent Newspaper THE STATE'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) ehind the Scenes in Washington WITH RODNEY DUTCHER State, City and County Official Newspaper Editor's Note: This is the fifth of a special series of stories showing exactly how lobbying bid and tinges all the government at Wash- ington, 1°] Published by The Bismarck Tribune Company, Bis- marck, N. D., and entered at the postoffice at Bismarck es second class mail matter. George D. Mann President and Publisher Archie O. Johnson Kenneth W. Simons Secretary and Treasurer Editor Washington, Aug. 22—The romance of the sea, the honor of the navy, and tHe officer-and-a-gentleman tra- dition of the army have all suffered through contacts with the Washington lobby. The army and navy are two of the biggest govern- mental contractors in the world and the various American merchant marine policies have kept a standing corps of lawyers and lobbyists for ship operating and building companies in the job. In the name of the merchant marine and the Ameri- can flag upon the seas, lobbyists have been collecting fat fees ever since the war as they got ships from the govern- ment and wangled juicy contracts, subsidies and legisla- tion which meant huge profits for certain individuals. Now they're massing against proposals to clean up the mess and prevent further scandals by creating @ govern- ment-owned, government-operated merchant marine. ee “BIG THREE” ACTIVE Shipbuilding lobbyists, allied with agents for naval suppliers and sub-contractors in a combination repre- senting several billion dollars and connected with the biggest bankers, have lobbied for big navy bills, against disarmament efforts, against limitation of profits on warships or construction in navy yards, and for virtual monopoly of naval building among the big three—the i|| Bethlehem, New York, and Newport News shipbuilding |] | companies. | President Newell of Bath Iron Works was shown to | association.” I quote: “White bread is more completely digestible than whole wheat utritious food.

One of the most celebrated ship lobbyists here is Jim Barnes, an elderly but vigorous man-about-town who irepresents the Todd Shipbuilding Co.—and others on occasion. Jim has a fishing and hunting camp at which to entertain, and sometimes a yacht. He was a close friend of the late Chairman Will Wood of the house ap- propriation committee and is now intimate with White House Secretary McIntyre as well as scores of other gov- ernment officials. He has led the lobbyists against such “nonsense” as amendments requiring construction of every other naval vessel in navy yards. ** * IT’S PROFITABLE A Constant Urge In this issue The Tribune presents a com-/| plete description of Bismarck’s new high school building, details the history of the school sys- tem in Bismarck. Examination of the building shows it to be one of the finest in the northwest. The review of Bismarck’s history reveals it to be a natural “Whaling King of the Arctic,” whom Will Rogers flew north to see. * * * Warren of North Carolina, who controls the culmination of the interest which this city al- Ira Campbell, general counsel for the American | DOLITICS | when purse strings of individual members We are told constantly of the evils Socialism.

Many a prairie schooner listed as freight, along a stenographer. They debated it for quite a while.
