Mention the Leader When Writing Advertisers .my “attack” on the lobbyists. ‘“Who’s Who’ in Washington Lobbydom “Assistant Government” Always Ready to Set Congress “Right”—Two Lobbyists to Each Congressman BY C. S. BARRETT President of the National Farmers’ Union and Chairman of the Nation- al Board of Farm Organizations. ECENTLY I stated that every important interest was represented by “lob- bies” or legislative com- mittes in Washington. This" ,excited some re- sentful comment. But there is really no reason to be peeved because I have simply pointed to an established fact and have shown that a new and power- ful “assistant government” has been installed in Washington. This. “assistant government” is made up of the most noted and effi- cient men and women in their respec- tive lines. gested that congress could with per- fect safety to -the nation transfer its functions to these ladies and gentle- men. To do this, however, would involve much legislative labor and an amend- ment to the Constitution would be es- sential. yon has said certain legislative com- mittees appear to be more powerful than congress itself. It is to be hoped, however, that this will not be put to the test by a contest of strength be- tween the government and the “as- sistant government.?- The “assistant government” has one advantage over the constitutional gov- ernment. It is more effectually train- ed for its work. It is an association of specialists. The “assistant govern- ment” knows it is fully acquainted with its own duties, but feels there are elements in the constitutional govern- ment which are new at the great game of directing the affairs of the United States. The Institute of American Meat Packers has taken special interest in The packers have stated that they do not have lobbyists, but frankly say they have “employes” at Washington who look after their interests. WHEN A LOBBYIST IS NOT A LOBBYIST The' records show that Norman Draper is the chief “employe” of the packers at Washington and he points to the fact that the bill regulating the practices of his employers failed to get through the Sixty-Sixth congress as evidence of his efficiency. If Mr. Draper was able to do such splendid work as an employe what would he have accomplished had he been elevat- ed to the dignity of a lobbyist? One of my friends reports to me that when an attempt to obtain a rule for the debate of the Haugen substi- tute for the senate bill had failed, Mr, Draper said with manifest joy: “I have the rules committee sewed up.” Now a man who is able to “sew up” a committee of congress ought not fo be a mere “employe” of the interests he represents. He should be hoisted to a higher and more exalted position. The packers suggested in their re- "ply to my statement that farm organ- -izations and distributors should co-op- erate. That may be a good idea, but it is doubtful if legitimate agricultural associations would accept this invita- tion if it involved co-operation to the extent of “sewing up” legislative com- mittees. Joseph DeFrees, an eminent Chicago lawyer, recently elected president of the, Chamber of Commerce of the United States, has been given a place among the notables who.are in Wash- ington to-assist the government in its efforts to do its duty. I understand Some persons have sug- It is true that Senator Ken- that the organization which Mr. De- Frees honors disclaims any intention of trying to influence legislative ac- tion. It has 50 rooms in one of the large office buildings in Washington from where it conducts its manifold enterprises. It has a publicity depart- ment under the direction of one of the ablest newspaper men in the United States, who is assisted by a staff of writers, resident secretaries, field sec- retaries and other employes. . In view of the fact that the chamber is not going to try to influence legis- lation, some persons are asking why a more central city was not chosen for its headquarters. Of course the or- ganization adopted resolutions against the bill to regulate the packers and. also fought the Calder coal measure and resisted the attempts of the farm- ers to repeal the daylight saving bill. But this, it was explained, is not lob- bying. LOBBYISTS EXPECT TO CO-OPERATE WITH HOOVER One of the most virile and resource- ful organizations which is assisting the government in its efforts to give the people an enlightened administra- tion is the National Association of Manufacturers. More than 6,000 manufacturing establishments hold membership in this organization and it is estimated that their total wealth exceeds 10 billion dollars. James A. Emery, a Washington lawyer of high repute, is general counsel and through him congress is informed of the needs of industry. Mr. Emery says that not only does the as- sociation participate in framing legis- lation, but it aids the officials of the revenue department in the task of making bureaucratic regulations. The National Association of Manu- facturers has established relations with the department of commerce. It has done this because, as Mr. Emery explains, it has correspondents in every important port in the world. More than 2,600 of these employes are on its payroll. It is the proud boast of the association that its officers are bet- ter informed on foreign trade and its needs than is the department of com- merce, hence there exists a profound conviction that Mr. Hoover should be assisted in framing regulations for the direction of the great enterprise upon which he has embarked. Among the men who are employed to see that the fuel men do not suffer through adverse legislation is George H. Cushing. Mr. Cushing is managing director of the Wholesale Coal Deal- ers’ association. He came from Chi- cago, where he edited the “Black Dia- mond,” a creditable publication which seeks to establish the fact. that though coal is black a man who sells it need not be anything but white. Mr. Cushing is an ‘eloguent and con- vincing talker. He almost succeeded in convincing some members of the senate manufactures committee that it was all right to charge the war de- partment some three or four dollars a ton for coal more than was collected from the navy. Anyhow, Mr. Cush- ing made the very best of what some senators had the audacity to say was a " bad case. To show with what thoroughness Mr. Cushing did his work, it is only necessary to point out that he brought to Washington so many coal men who wanted to be heard that it was impos- sible for the committee to report a bill in time for action by the Sixty-Sixth congress. Mr. Cushing spent three days on the stand and gave the com- mittee a mass of information which PAGE SIXTEEN - 2 . Before ADVERTISEMENTS You " Seeds Think the growers.

During these yea ve taken numerous blue ribbons at different fairs and corn shows. It is a heavy yielder, having yielded as high as 90 bushels per acre in a large fleld. It is exceptionally good for fodder because it is large and the stalk stands green until the ears are dead ripe. and another point of ad- vantage is that it will stand up exceptionally well for machine husking. This corn has been bred scientifically in order to secure these advantages, and is sec- ond to none in this p ar. - It tests from 95 to 100 per cent when sent out as I have it stored in a modern well heated -corn building.
