THIRD HOUSE’
POLICES ITSELF
How can legislators, whose
private careers
run from
medicine to ranching and from
teaching to retailing, possibly
be familiar with arguments on
the thousands o f varied issues
upon which they must vote?
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

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.

Your news story stating that
Senator George Eivers is the
first
Clackamas
county
legislator to serve on the Ways
and Means committee since
Howard Belton in 1957, is in
error.
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.

Not much o f great interest

trememdous views o f the

“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.

our packages from Hong Kong.

subscription to the Sandy Post.
As I’m formerly from Sandy I
enjoy reading about all the
friends and neighbors I knew
there.
My husband is in the Air
Force and the Post helps make
any place we go seem more like
home. Also my three children,
Karyn, James and Paul, Jr. can
hear about their grandparents,
Mr. and Mrs. James E. Quinn,
and Uncle E. H. Quinn, who
live there too.
So keep up the good work.
Thank you,
