. LEGISLATION BY LOBBY .
In his report Monday on the Oregon legislature's 1944
session. William Niskanen. Deschutes county's representative
touched on a subject which, we believe, deserves more elabora
tion. It may be called legislation by lobby, lne uescnuies
county representative doesn't like it' and we share his dislike.
To illustrate his point he used unemployment compensa
tion legislation. Certain measures enacted under this classi
' fication were recommended by committees of senate and
house because two groups of lobbyists told the committees
that the measures were acceptable to labor and ,to the em
ployers of the state. This information was given after tin
two lobbyist groups (perhaps half a dozen men in all;, had
gone into a huddle and agreed to a bit of mutual back scratch
ing. Neither group especially cared to see the other group's
bins pass; eacn did want its own bills passed. So, quite tem
porarily, they joined forces. It was not unnatural that they
should do so. j
Now the labor lobbyists did not represent all labor; they
represented two labor organizations. And the employer lobby
ists by no means represented all employers ; they represented,
on their chief measure, those employers whose payrolls would
normally be assessed at more than 2.7 and who desired a
reduction to 2.7. The committees, however, accepted the
presentations of the lobbyists at face value. So did the two
,. houses of the legislature in their votes on the measures. .
In doing so and this, as we see it, is more important
the committees and the senate and the house, to all intents and
, purposes, delegated to special interest spokesmen their own
functions as legislators. These spokesmen, rather than the
legislature, evaluated the bills (from their own viewpoints, of
course), reached the agreement on them, and the legislature,
relieved of the responsibility, merely made it official.
We are of the opinion that this is carrying lobbying rather
too far and that it is not carrying legislating far enough.
There ia a proper sphere of activity for the so-called "third
ljouse," but it is advisory and not legislative. The senators
and representatives are elected to make the laws.
In connection with the foregoing, we would like to nav
our compliments to our central Oregon representatives
JNiskanen ot Deschutes and Burt K. Snyder of Deschutes and
Lake. Un the key measure in the unemployment compensa
tion group of bills, these two, well knowing that they were in
a hopeless majority, nevertheless voted their own convictions.
Their votes were the only negative votes in the house.
We would like to add that their record throuirh the session
was uniformly excellent. Deschutes and Lake counties were
fortunate indeed in the quality of their representation.

INQUISITION
XXII
Hack at The Wagon Wheel I
flirted with the Idea of sitting up
for Mr. Hudson. But somehow I
had a feeling that this wouldn't
be necessary. So I went to bod.
The next morning I was up
early. I dressed and went Imme
diately to the desk to ask If Mr.
Hudson had come In. The clerk
looked at me oddly.
"Mr. Hudson?" he asked reach
ing for the 'phone.'
"Mr. Street, please," he told the
operator.
"Not Mr. Street Mr. Hudson,"'
J said.
"Mr. Street Is the manager," the
clerk explained frigidly. Then Into
the' phone:
"Mr. Street, Mr. Trent is asking
lor Mr. Hudson."
The desk clerk was still eyeing
me warily when he hung up.
"Mr. Street wishes you to step dinner al
into nis oulce, Mr. Iron!.'
So with the Utile ditty about
the spider and the fly running
through my brain, I stepped into
the manager's office and the mo
ment I did I knew we had reached
another milestone. There sat In
spector Marks. That crooked little
smile sat on his lips, but somehow
it looked slightly forced.
Well, Inspector, I said, "nren t
you a little off your beat?"
"A mile." He nodded. "Sit
down, Mr. Trent.'L
The manager was looking wor
ried and nervous.
"You asked for Mr. Hudson?"
went on Marks.
I nodded.
"Why?" asked the Inspector.
"He didn't come in last nlirhl. I
was worried about him," I said.
, "He planned to stay here at The
Wagon Wheel?"
"Yes."
"Do you know why?"
"We were closing the house at
Sandy Point. We intended to re
turn to Boston this mnrninc" ' ln nt me. I
"Why not last night?" "What I think is unimportant."
"It didn't seem wise." "How was he killed?"
In the silence that followed,! "With a bullet." M.n' s sal up.
Marks pinned that remark to a I "Would you care to see?"
board and dissected It. With an "Not especially," I said, "but I'll

wall clicked. Two little doors flew
open; a synthetic-looking cuckoo
sailed out, cuckooed eiiiht times.
I and slid back behind the doors
again. Marks paid no attention lo
the clock. Willi the singleminded
ness of a snake, he fixed his eyes
upon' my face.
"Who were the guests n't this
partv?"
"There were seven of us; he
sides Mr. Hudson and his dauph
ter, Charley Strand, Erie Woolf
myself, and Bruee Temple ami his
daughter, Brenda."
"Eric Woolf." The inspector
speared the name. "Where is he
now?"
"I don't know. Ho left yester
day after lunch."
"What time was It when yei:
left The Ledges to come to
Mlnot?"
"About six I should say. We had

Mi'. Hudson returned to The
Ledges for our luggage, we went
to The Wagon Wheel to gel roomr

"I'm a deleetive, not a writer of
