Part of the answer is extensive homework; another part is found in the practic e of lobbying. There probably is no better way to air all facts and arguments on a controversial issue than to hear opposing lobbyists plead their cases. Lobbying, a practice which got its name from the marble lobbies in which legislators frequesntly were briefed, often is maligned by persons who misunderstand the legislative process. It is, in fact, the essence of the right of petition guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. And its most important results show up in the informed votes of . lawmakers, who regularly use technical background supplied by lobbyists of many ideological persuasions. Individual legislators or com m ittees frequently call upon specialists for facts, statistics or opinions favoring or opposing specific bills. Senators and representatives here often refer to the lobby as the ‘Third House” of the legislature. Backgrounds o f lobbyists may vary as widely as those of legislators. Many, but certainly not all. are attorneys. Some are hired by one or more clients to represent them only during the legislative session; some others are provessionals who work year round for associations or o rgan ization s representing interests o f many segments of society. Groups represented here by the more than 200 professional lobbyists registered with legislative counsel include teachers, seed growers, cities, counties, labor, management, banks, media, government agencies, doctors, charitable organizations, utilities and dozens more. Often overlooked is the importance o f the individual lobbyist. He is that all too rare citizen who takes advantage of Oregon's open committee meetings to com e and state his H is significance was exemplified last week when an overflow crowd attended a legislative hearing on a bill to reduce the minimum voting age o f 18. Much o f the testimony was presented by high school studenta. Perhaps surprisingly, most legislators regard sincere letters from their constituents as a m a jo r aid in th e ir d e c is io n -m a k in g responsibilities. This too, in essence, is a form o f lobbying. The stereotype o f the stealthy lobbyist “tricking” legislators or “buying votes” seems to persist in many minds. Those responsible first to their electorate are quick to refute such notions. Lobby activity, in fact, is closely regulated by law and rules of both houses. In addition. Oregon’s lobby polices itself within a strict code o f ethics, and an untruthful persuader would destroy his effectiveness in the eyes o f legislators and fellow lobbyists alike. One government official has noted “they would divulge facts injurious to their own cause before they would run the risk of issuing falsehoods.” Helping to keep the Oregon legislative process “clean” is the main concern of the Capitol Club, a voluntary organization to which many lobbyists belong. Current president is Estes (Pete) Snedecor, Jr., Portland General Electric Co. The Capitol Club instills in ils members a higher degree o f pride in their profession than in most other states, a study has shown. It also brings lobbyists together within this sense of ‘Third House” common participation, and believers in opposing causes are respectful and often friendly. Most important, though, are the self policing aspects o f the fraternity. One bad apple could tend to taint the entire lobby practice. of course, and members of any organization would not relish such betraval Even stranger, however, Capitol Clubbers recognize that effectiveness depends directly upon honesty, reliability and reputation. And as advisors to our elected representatives, they know that they. too. have a very real responsibility to Oregon citizens.

Democrat Beulah Hand, Milwaukie, served as a member of the powerful Ways and Means committee in the 1963 session. Not only was she the second woman in the history o f the state to serve on this committee, but she also was chairman of one o f the five W ays and M eans subcommittees. She was a major advocate o f economy in government and did an outstanding job for the state of Oregon. Mrs. Hand’s session on Ways and Means was the last se ssio n that Democrats controlled the House and Senate. The 1963-65 budgets on which she worked had the lowest percentage increase in spending in twenty years • 3%. Budgets under Republican control increased 35% in 1965-67, 14.4% in 1967-69 and in the 1969 71 budget Governor Tom McCall is advocating a 26% increase in spending. signed/Flavia Skinner 8005 N.

We are just marking time. The Smiths and the Vauses have introduced us to a great many people, and we have graciously been invited to be guests at various clubs and social events. Have met the Mayor o f Petone - Mr. Gee, who is Chinese, and the Mayor o f Tawa, MR’ E. M. Kemp, M.B.E. (Member of the order of the British Empire.) We have been driven around the Wellington area to view the b e a u tifu l p ark s and trememdous views o f the harbour. The inter island ferry “Wahine” which was wrecked on a reef in the harbor last April is still visible resting on her side near mid-channel. There were about 700 people aboard, plus cars, a train, cargo, etc. The ship grounded, and was blown - with anchors dragging - approximately a mile and then turned on her side. 61 people were drowned and most of the rest drifted in lifejackets nearly 2 miles to shore. Anyway, the ship is still there and still being salvaged, about 4 mile off shore. Friday we finally received our packages from Hong Kong. Buck Monroe, Corbett high So we now have our projector again as well as our hiking school teacher, has filed a suit clothes.

However, no one swims very far out, there is always possibility o f sharks. Packakariki is a site o f a 1 94 2 U .S . M a r in e encampment. It was near here that Jack and Dave Howe were stationed, and from here they embarked for invasions of Saipan, Tinian, and Tarawa. There are no traces left o f the tremendous encampments here at that time. Many of the people remember, though, and there is a great attitude of friendliness and reminiscence.
