RETROCESSION PROBLEM IN '95
DISCUSSION STARTED THEN OF
THE ACT OF 1S46.
Matthew Trimble Covered Subject
in a Letter to the Board of
Trade.

Since the question of the legality of
the retrocession to Virginia of that por-
ton of the District of Columbia lying
south Of the Potomac river has been
brought up by President Taft, and since
the attitude Of the residents of the sub
urban districts beyond the river to-
ward the proposed return of the land TO
the jurisdiction of the District was first
made the subject of comment in the real
estate department of The Evening Star,
1t may be of some interest to reprint
an epitome of discussion upon the very
same points of law as are involved in the
present case, which was inspired nearly
fifteen years ago by Matthey Trimble.
then assessor of the District of Columbia.
who is now chairman of the board of as
SCISSORS of the local government.
In 1898 the agitation against the condi-
tons obtaining in the notorious Jackson
City reached such point that the Board
of Trade undertook the organization of
a campaign to rid the vicinity of the
capital of it's undesirable neighbor. The
question of the jurisdiction of the Dis
Trimble, who was then a resident of
Alexandria county, prepared a letter,
which he addressed to B. H. Warner,
president Of the trade body and in which
he set forth the following proposition:
Jackson City the Moving Cause.
1.-THE moral publication of our suburban
surroundings, and particularly in that
portion of the original ten-mies square
in which the now notorious so-called
Jackson City is located, is well worthy
the serious consideration of the citizens
of this District What action should
be taken to remedy existing evils?
Place Jackson City and the entire county
OF Alexandria where it was officially an
nounced by proclamation of President
Washington as part of the 'ten-miles
square selected as permanent seat of
government of the United States
'In my opinion, SO soon as that proc
iamatlon was issued, the power of Con-
gress to change the permanent seat of
government ceased, and nothing short of
the vote of the states can accomplish
that result.
lit is true that under an act of July
10. 1S46, Congress voted TO retrocede
to Virginia that portion OF the ten
miles square south of the Potomac. If
Congress had that power in 1916 it has
the same power in 1895, and can there
fore retrocede to Maryland that portion
which call the District of CO.
lumbia: and if that power should be
conceded it then becomes possible to
have the permanent seat of government
changed every four years.
Our next Congress, for instance, could
remove the National Capital to Bladens-
burg, in Maryland. or to Jackson City, in
Alexandria county. Va, in near proxim
ity; or, perhaps, In the near future Con-
gress might decide to locate the per-
manent seat of government in the Ha-
waiian Islands, provided, of course, that
annexation and statehood preceded.
1T is not reasonable to suppose that it
was ever intended to give Congress any
such power and believe no such power
was ever granted or intended under our
constitution
