THE ANTILOBBY BILL:— The Davis anti-lobby bill, which is identical witli the one Introduced iu tlie senate by Van Auken, lias passed the house of representatives by a vote of 90 to 3. The members voting against the measure were Daugherty, Harris and Van Horne, all republicans. The ninety affirmative votes includes botli democrats and republicans. Speaker Bedwell did not vot 1 . Six members, four of them democrats, were absent. The fact that the bill commanded such support bears witness to the pressure of public opinion and tin? influence of Governor Ralston. As the senate has already had opportunity to study the same bill, introduced by Van Auken, it Is not likely that there will be much delay there. When favorable action is taken, immediate approval by the governor is assured. The provisions of the anti-lobby bill attack paid lobbying of every sort. Registration Is provided for, and the exclusion of political lobbying is aim-

ed at. Various types of lobbyists are defined. Activity against, or in behalf of a pending legislative matter is not prohibited, but safeguards are to be erected round the senate and the house. Those who interest themselves in legislation must first register at the office of the secretary of state. Identification cards are provided and, on demand, must be exhibited. Interference on the floor of the legislative chambers is prohibited. The paid “legislative agents” and “legislative counsel” are most affected by the bill.

the legislature are in themselves sufficient justification for the restrictive features in the Davis-Van Auken bill. The house democrats resixmded to the action of their caucus. At the second attempt, and after a consultation with the governor, the caucus made the Davis bill a party measure. The senate can ill afford to alter or to delay the anti-lobby bill. It is not anticipated, however, that It will do so. The bill appears to be sound, and wholly desirable in its principal features. Its approval by the senate means Immediate restraints on lobbyists. The general assembly has need of some such protection.—lndianapolis News.

Dayton, Ohio, has concluded its first year under the management of an expert and the report just filed and published in full in the papers of that city show that it was a most successful year. While other cities are complaining this wonderful city which suffered so severely from the terrible flood of two years ago, has shown marked progress in every department. It would require a page to tell all the good things they did in that city the past year, but every city, big and little in the country ought to send for a copy of the report and follow them. They improved the mail service, the passenger service, conducted an early Christmas buying campaign, boosted a half-dozen flood prevention ideas and carried them out, drove graft out of business by arresting business men who indulged in it, built a hospital, built parks, improved the old ones, advertised tlie city in a “Know Dayton" campaign, brought in new factories and boosted the old ones, improved the school system, developed interurban trade and did a thousand other things that will make it a greater city.
