Show LOBBYING IS TABOO IN THE LOWER HOUSE "Lobbying Absolutely Prohibited." Placards bearing this admonition adorn the walls of the house chamber of the state legislature in six places now, as a result of the efforts of Speaker Tolton to rid the lower house of lobbyists. Speaker Tolton has several times warned lobbyists from the floor during dur-ing sessions, and recently he obtained an expression of sentiment from the members to the effect that lobbyists should not be permitted Inside the house doors at any time. "There Is one ex-member from the southern counties who had been particularly par-ticularly pernicious in his activity around here," said the speaker Wednesday, Wed-nesday, "and If his work continues I shall certainly endeavor to have drastic action taken by the house to rid ourselves our-selves of his prensence."
