NATIONAL EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION, :sfv 1956 -- 1 v Kx Jose IS, 1956 Vo!. 10; Ho. 23 Editorial The Much - Badgered Lobbyist Senator Andrew F. Schoeppel, of Kansas, in a Senate speech has somehow been widely overlooked by the metropolitan press, has offered some cogent comments on lobbying that the voters need to hear even more than the solons. Speaking of the investigative project of the Special Senate Committee, set up as a result of the Case case and the resulting Presidenial veto of the natural gas bill, the Senator warned against the possibility of very substantial damage to the dignity and stature of this legislative bod. Those Americans, he said, who, in their lack of information condemn the practice of business lobbying . . . would be astonished to discover that the power lobby, the oil and gas lobby, the steel and chemical lobbies, and so forth are relatively unimportant compared to other groups such as the farmers, the veterans, the labor unions and others whose activities are usually considered to be exclusively in the public interest, instead of in the private interest. Even more amazing, the Senator thinks, would be the discovery that the Army, Navy, Air Force, Post Office, State and Treasury Departments and foreign aid operations maintain the biggest of all lobbies. Further, Senator Schoeppel declared that he did not know of a single Senator or Representative who does not regard these lobbies, as helpful in providing the boiled-dow- n viewpoint of sensation-seeking the portagonists on both sides. The public can not know, he says, That one single, g analysis is more influential over Congressional action than a dozen offers of special favors, free dinners or elaborate cocktail ... well-writte- n, time-savin- parties. Senator Schoeppel remarked that there were four different groups of citizens arrayed for or against the natural gas bill. There were those who were for and against on ideological grounds, depending on their ideas of how our economic system should function. Then there were the two groups opposed on grounds of economic self interest. But each of these, the Senator emphasized, enjoys the right of petition under the amendment to the Constitution. Referring to the national furor over this stupid incident, he said: if the attempted bribe of the junior Senator from South Dakota and others had been dreamed up and engineered by those opposing the natural gas bill, it would have been sheer stroke of genius . . . Although it falls outside the area o lobbying, I think we will all admit that the abortive efforts of Mr. Neff suggest a brand new approach to the defeat of legislation. The Senator prays that the investigation will not involve the worlds greatest deliberative body in a partisan political Donny-brooAnd so do we. ... k.
