LOBBYING EVIL
The Seventy-fourth Congress finds itself under
pressure from spokesmen for innumerable groups hav
ing or preventing legislation. The button-holing, pro
pagandizing, entertaining, promising and threatening
in which the lobbyists engage have been described in
the testimony at the current and past hearings.
A bill directed at the evil sixty-odd years ago stat
ed that its purpose was “to prevent professional lobby
ing." No such suppression is designed in the bills now
before Congress. They are intended merely to bring
lobbying into the open by requiring that all paid legis
lative agents register and give a financial accounting,
and that an organization seeking to influence legisla
tion or appropriations make regular financial statements
If light were thrown into the present darkness,
many of the evils of modern lobbying would be ended
Legitimate petitioners to Congress have no logical reas
on for opposing such a step.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
WHAT IS A BOONDOGGLE
(New York World Telegram.)
The annual report of the Mellon Institute of Indus
trial Research makes us think it was lucky for the Ad
ministration that the WPA wasn’t back of all these pro
jects.
Suppose, for example, the WPA had fostered the
Mellon Institute’s shaving clinic, which just completed
a scientific analysis of the perfect shave. It went into
the whole subject, from the particular steel alloys whi
ch give the perfect blade to the “effects of razor design
upon the shape of the hair stump remaining on the
face." One learned conclusion is that “adequate facial
preparation prior to the shaving operation’’ is essential.
This knowledge cost three years’ effort.
Well, that’s science, and we take it with due ser
iousness. If it were just another Boondoggle it certain
ly would be a laugh. But how are we always to tell
the difference? Perhaps that depends upon whether
the sponsor back of it is Harry Hopkins or Uncle Andy
Mellon.
