AGAINST RETRoCEssIoN.-Senator
Martin. OF Virginia, member of the
S.nate committee on the District of
,,olGmbia, is opposed to the PROPOSE
,;on 10 restore the limits of the District
~ =. Columbia to its original boundary
lines so AS to take in Alexandria county
and civ. Il can see no reason on
which 10 base such proposition" said
Nr. Martin TO q reporter recently. "The
government does not need additional
isrritorv for its purposes and I do not
tnow hat any one is contending that
il does the government really needs
more territory | have no doubt that
Virginia would respond promptly to that
need. But the Virginia portion of the
Di,tric. was coded back to the State
merely because the government did not
want il, and it was supposed it never
would want it. My own idea is that
the goyernment.is exercising jurisdic-
zion over TOO much territory now. 1t
would be better if it had less. The
partnership between the general gov.
ernment and the District is one apt to
give rise to contentious, and is hardly
\ satisfactory arrangement. 1t is con-
tended that if the District limits were
10 be extended into Virginia there
wouid be less lawlessness there than
here mas been at Jackson City AMI
other places Just across the river within
rsacn of Washington. My own belief
= that the condition of lawlessness on
the Virginia side Of the Potomac, oppo-
site the city, has been greatly exsgger-
ated The gambling that at one time
went on there has been very thoroughly
suppressed, believe, and if it has not
been the laws of Virginia and the power
under the control Of the Governor is
ample 10 suppress it. 1t must be
remembered that this lawl essness is not
committed by Virginisus, but by people
Sao 90 there across the bridge from
Shis city. Still, if the gambling were
not suppressed it would be matter TO
coucern the State of Virginia and not
tue District OF Columbia or the general
government The idea that the govern
msnt should own the other end of the
bridges it is 10 build across the Poto-
mac, and now has there. has no founda-
ton in sny necessity. As have said,
L any such necessity should be found l
have no doubt Virginia would meet the
requirements of the government. OF
course, the legal aspects Of this matter
form another question. If the act Of
were unconstitutional and
is so declared, that Will settle it. But
any effort to have Virginia cede land to
be added to the District of Columbia
should be proceeded by showing OF
the governments need for more terri
tory"
