BOND MEN ASKED DELAY

the high rents, which are the result largely
of the general Indebtedness. We oppose
this enormous expenditure to develop a
Greater Washington along the rugged hill
sides and ON the barren wastes beyond our
boundary while miles OF streets and ave
nucs within the city remain unimproved.
Let us adopt honest methods TO defray
necessary public expenditures. Instead OF
floating millions of bonds and enrichine
Il few favored financiers. all property should
be assessed at the true value, and property
owners and corporations should be required
| to pay taxes upon this basis, and all revenues
OF the District should be appropriated from
the District funds, with an equal amount
from the United States Treasury.
| "OrganiZed labor desires only that tn
necessary Improvements within the Dis
trict should be paid from the revenue de-
rived from honest taxation. We have eX
perienced the evil OF bonded debt, which
was the cause OF our disfra nchisement and
deprived us OF the least control of local
affairs and reduced us to the condition of
subjects 10 an influential class. We can
not regard with favor any measure which
will repeat outra geous history a nd deny us
in future the privilege of deciding the i'm
portant question OF having imposed upon
us a bonded debt and additional taxation
which will be borne for half a century.
