THE DESIRABILITY OF A LAW For Its Own Sake Congress Should Place Practicing Before Its Com mittees Upon the Same Plane as Practicing Before the Courts. WASHINGTON, D. C, April 3. The evidence adduced before the investigating the charges of lobbying in connection with submarine boat legislation emphasizes the desirability of Congress enacting a law estab lishing a parliamentary bar. As long as persons are permitted to represent interests having legislation before out of sight or nearly so, and their employment a secret or virtually so, so long will Congressmen and all persons not their constituents, having business with them, be open to sus picion. Without the light which is shed upon subjects under considera tion by Congress by outside parties, the laws of this country would be in a greater mess than they now are. Not one Congressman in ten under stands subjects on which he votes and the leaders in most cases obtain their information from interested parties rather than by original re search. This is of necessity the case and is by no means a reflection upon the personnel of Congress. Corpora tions pay enormous sums to attor neys to present cases affecting their interests to the courts and no one questions such employment of dis tinquished counsel. Why it should be regarded as honorable employ ment to accept a commission to ever throw the action of Congress by de monstrating its unconstitutionality in the courts and on the other hand, employment to prevent Congress from enacting unfair or unconstitu tional legislation should be frowned upon, is not exactly dear. For its own sake Congress should place practicing before its committees on the same high plane as practicing be fore the courts. A law requiring the registration of all legislative repre sentatives, together with a statement of the measures in which they were interested and the parties whom they represented, and the stringent en forcement of penalties for failure to so register, would do more toward ridding the Capitol of undesirable cit izens than countless so-called investigations.
