Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into a controversy surrounding a bill passed by the US Senate in 1898, which granted $288,000 to the Methodist Book Concern South. At the time, Senators were assured that the money would be used to benefit superannuated clergy and their families. However, it was later revealed that $100,000 of the funds had been paid to a lobbyist, Major E.B. Stahlman. The author presents evidence from interviews, newspaper articles, and official records, shedding light on the events leading up to and following the bill's passage. This book raises important questions about the role of lobbyists in influencing legislation and the ethics of using charitable funds for personal gain. It also highlights the duty of elected officials to thoroughly scrutinize proposed legislation and ensure that it aligns with its intended purpose.
