E. G. Graham another washington
business man. is heartily in accord with
the Presidents tentative SCHEME to rec
Ommend a governor and a subordinate
council to administer the Districts af-
lairS Mr.. Graham, however, believes
hat the council members and neads of
under departments should be elected
by the people, the governor being ap-
pointed by the President. He also con-
tends that washington can furnish as
good timber for the POSITION of governor
as any city in the United States and
that IL is not necessary to go away
from home for this official.
Wants a Governor.
'I favor a governor appointed by the
President, aided by an elected council -
he declared. Both Federal and local
governments should be represented un-
der the proposed new regime and this
can only be obtained in this way. The
governor would held a Federal check
upon the entire administration; the
council would be representative of the
people of Washington proper.
Make the governors salary a decent
one. and clothe him with authority suf-
ficient to make the place me of honor.
We have a number OF Washington busi-
ness men who would be qualified to and
would be willing to sacrifice their busi-
ness inter ssts and accept the place. You
cannot, lowever, obtain such a man
upon q nominal salary or for a position
that does not carry with 1t sufficient
honor.
"A man selected from a different city
would nos fit into conditions here. He

Select a Coanca of Fifty Citizens
Plan Proposed BY a. c. Moees

In one of the most elaborate schemes
Of government for the District of Co
iumbia that has yet been suggested,
Arthur c. Moses, Of the firm of w. B.
Moses & Sons. today expressed as hts
belief that, If President Taft should
favor one-man rule. instead of the COM
mission plan. for the District. a council
OF not less than fifty representive per-
sons should be appointed by the Presi-
dent to serve without pay.
Mr.. Noses views include, the Reyn-
oles recommendations, IS far as they
go. but he asserts they do not go far
enough, inasmuch as a governor and
seven heads or commissioners of de-
partments would not constitute a suf-
ficiently representative government To
The Washington times., 1909-05-03

look after all the interests of the city
and District
The brainiest men, representing all
sections, including members Of the eiti-
zens associations, Chamber Of Com
merce. Commercial Club, Board of
Trade ard other organizations. Mr.
Moses declares, should be appointed In
the same manner as the President shall
appoint the governor ana heads Of de-
partments. and should be empowered
with all the rights that city councils
have in other cities
The President could appoint these
men 10 serve without pay said Mr.
Moses, and the burden of government
could be arranged in order TO make il
require so little Of their time that their
individual business interests would not
be neglected. In fact. II is my opinion
that a meeting each month would be
sufficient, and that the governor should
have the right TO determine what mat
The Washington times., 1909-05-03

ters are OF sufficient Importance to come
before tie council at these meetings.
An abuse OF this power could be pre-
veited by a provision to the effect that
at the written request of five members
of the council, any matter dealing with
the District may be brought before it
at any time.
Plan to Harmonize.
How would you harmonic system
OF government in which you have a gov
ernor, seven heads of departments,
such as are proposed in the Reynolds
plan. and council of fifty members %
Mr.. Moses was asked.
THE governor would harmonize the
work of the department officials, and
that eliminates two OF the divisions .
said Mr Moses "All routine matters,
which would not come before the coun-
Gil. would be decided in that manner.
Then. matters OF more sthan routine I'M
portance would be transmitted to the
council by the governor, and the council
would have final Jurisdiction
There are able men in the District
who would be willing to serve on the
council without pay, but great care
should be taken that every section is
of no plan other than that the President
should appoint the members of the
council In 10 event would I be in favor
of an election or any arrangement which
might tend to bring politics into the
District
When asked concerning his views with
respect to the emoluments of the Offices
of governor and department heads, Mr.
Moses said that, IN the former case. he
would be in favor of q salary of $4,000
being paid. while he would also favor
the commissioners of the proposed seven
departments receiving 5000 each per
annuIn.
Smiths Views.
chairman of the House District Com
hittee, when asked today 20 express
his opinion as to President Taft's pro-
posal TO substitute one-man govern
ment for the commission form of gov
ernment in the District, said that he
was not prepared to do so at this time.
Mr.. Smith, however. said that he had
been giving considerable thought to the
government OF the District. and he has
hnally reached the conclusion that II
would be only fair TO the residents of
the District TO permit them to send 10
Congress a Delegate who would have
the privileges OF the floor, and who
would be member OF the District Com
mittee.
Such delegate" he said, should be
a broad-gauged man, with an intimate
knowledge Of the District If Congress
should see At to permit the District TO
SEM Delegate, i am fully convinced
that this policy would be a great help
TO US IN framing legislation for the Dis
sricteI even would not oppose the
proposition TO permit him 10 vote. for

each commissioner and president con-

Under this form of government mat
