Most Washington “Associations”
Fakes, Says Senator Robinson
From New York Times News Report on Bill to Enforce
Registration of Lobbyists.
Washington.—Ninety per cent, of the 300 to 400 organizations
which he alleged exist in Washington to lobby for and against legis
lation are “fakes,” Senator Caraway of Arkansas told the Senate, in
favorably reporting from the Senate judiciary committee his bill to
compel lobbyists to register with the secretary or the Senate and the
clerk of the House'.
The representatives of some organizations actually aided members
of congress with information, the senator declared, but, on the other
hand, there were some who “prey upon the credulity of those who
have an interest in what congress shall do.”
Describing some of the organizations here, he mentioned the
“American Pedestrian Protective association,” and asked:
“Is that a school to teach people to dodge Ford cars, or outrun
Buicks?”
Of the money collected by many associations he declared $99 out of
•ach $100 usually went into the promoter s pocket.
"One bright fellow,” he said, “collected $60,000 from business men,
and spent $58,000 in ‘expenses.’ Of course he spent it by taking it from
their pockets and putting it in his own.”
Denouncing the efforts of former members of congress to influence
legislation, he said that any number of them “who were unable to take
an interest in legislation when they were serving have become per
niciously active in the interest of legislation later.”
Senator Caraway intends to bring the bill up for consideration as
soon as possible. ^
The committee report, sucmittea, wnue conceamg men nuu
vomen of high character” give "valuable information and are frequently
helpful in dealing with public questions,” declared that "there are a
large number of people who pretend to represent ‘associations’ who
tre lobbyists pure and simple and in the most offensive sense of that
erm.”
Stating that betw’een 300 and 400 "alleged associations” were listed
i the Washington telephone directory, the report continues:
"The larger number of these—90 per cent.—are fake associations
lrganized for the sole purpose of profit.
“Ninety nine dollars but of every hundred that the public pays to
hese alleged associations go into the pockets of the promoters of these
ake associations. It might be safely said outside of a dozen there is
:iot a penny paid to these associations that is not worse than wasted.”
The associations, the report asserted, “include fake argicultural as
ociations, fake scientific associations, fake religious associations, fake
emperance associations, fake associations in opposition to prohibition.”
“Nearly every activity of the human mind has been capitalized by
ome grafter with ’headquarters’ established for this activity in Wash
ngton,” the report went on.
•Their only activity is to extract money from credulous people and
mt it into their own pockets.
“The fake associations so far outnumber those which are actually
engaged in a legitimate effort to impart information that attention
should be called to the situation.”
"If these people may be compelled to put their names on record it
will then purify the atmosphere their presence pollutes.
“It is also hoped that a few men who have been honored by their
listrict or state with a tenure of office and who have lingered here and
,‘attened off the hope entertained by some misguided people that by
reason of the fact of their acquaintance they may be able to influence
legislation, will likewise find their occupation destroyed.”

'rhe Oldest Uving Thing
From the Detroit News.
The oldest living thing in the world
today is a tree, perhaps one of the gi

Just as likely an East African Baobab

Mexico.
The age of trees can be determined
definitely by sawing the trunk and
counting the annual growth rings.

SPRING FANTASY
The winter's drear monotony is past.
And plants are breaking upward
through the snow.
I hear the waters, rushing, tumbling
fast.
And winter wheat is sprouting, row
on row.
I would be free as bluebirds on the
wing.
I would away to meet the breathles*

If you were at my side to laugh and
sing.
And hand in hand to watch the
day be born.
Across the bounding azure hills to ny.
Nor stop lor such a little thing as
sleep;
But when the sun-warmed clouds
roll softly nigh.
Heads nestled close, to slumber long
and deep.
And then at gath'ring eve I’ll hold
your hand.
And gaze into the depths of your
blue eyes;
And there I’ll read the answer and
command—
And I’ll obey, and love shall spring
surprise.
And as this verse is penned on Wed

The weatherman looks at his charts ’

The sifting snow drifts slowly up his

And winter wheat just hasn’t got a

Adopts Britain’s Policy.
From the Boston Transcript.
Paris is wondering what Mr. Kel
logg means by his announcement that
the United States is willing to enter
into an agreement with all other pow
ers to abolish submarines. Mr. Kel
logg's fellow citizens of the Unitea
States are likely to feel and express
the same wonder. Certainly the an
nouncement appears to be—though
we cannot for a moment suppose that
it is intended to be—an affront to the
French republic at the very moment
when the United States is consum
mating with that republic a beauti
ful arrangement for eternal amity.
Whv should the United States ap

hind the British thicket in time to
sign the treaty with France? And
why should the United States just at
this moment enter the field as the
proponent of a policy that no country

absolutely impossible of general ac
ceptance?
We wonder. And we also wonder
why Secretary Kellogg should in such
an off-hand manner assume that the
American people are willing to aban
don a means of defense to which our
tw'o ocean coast, and our purely de
fensive poliev as regards the subject
of warfare among the nations, clear

thought of warfare except as a means
of defense, and the current and effec
tive weapons of defense we must keep
In our hands.
