forbidding others . from appearing as
legislative counsel altogether.
Mr. Schuebel . pointed our .that tbe
same restrictions upon the, lobby are -prescribed

bill passed the Oregon bouse last year

said ' the measure affects only those

X. C. Lewis, of Multnomah, was the
first opponent of the bill. He declared -he

nor did he fibd' It a bad proposi
