And yet so far I am pleased to find how many are carrying "axes" not for their own personal advancement or desires, but for groups of peo ple, often minority groups who must be represented and who have a great many good ideas and important needs. I firmly expected to be shocked immediately at all the selfish mo tives and greedy lobbyists swarm ing around the legislature, but so far I have been surprised at the amount of viluable Information and high lights on either side of many questions which can be gathered quickly and easily by contacting the right "lobbyist." I think that word carries a stigma which is unfortunate, for surely a great many people are here lobbying for very worthwhile causes which you and I and the rest of the people of this state would favor if they knew the whole story. One well known newspaper man who is frequenting the halls these days has in a column com pared the legislature very aptly with a big circus. It is a wonder ful simile, although up to now the main show has not been under the Big Top in the two halls, but the real activity which bears watching has been going on in the numerous committee rooms which arc likened to the side shows. I have been very Interested at the number of youngsters who show up as spectators around the building. It is a very healthful situation, and at the Inaugural ceremony there were a good many dozen bright-eyed serious youne neople from six years old on up who were absorbing with Interest the ceremony which is an integral part of our state govern ment. Such an experience prob ably means more to them than quite a number of hours spent studying civics books. Speaking of youngsters, at a church service our first Sunday here, the minister in speaking briefly to the young people pres ent, commented on the fact that There's a wonderful new thrift secret under that proud Pack ard bonnet the secret of "free breathing" engine design. "Free-breathing" engine de-. sign involves new ideas in valve design ... in carburetion and manifolding ... in higher com pression ratios. It takes the gasoline you can buy today at your corner sta tionand makes it give up its power more smoothly, more responsively and with almost Highway 99 N. & Garden they wculd be noticing during the next few weeks how much of the daily newspapers would be monopolized by the legislative do ings and explained some of that significance to them and request ed that they add to their evening prayers a word for the busy men and women here who carry so much responsibility.
