enable us to legislate intelligently for the
District Had he been inspired he
could not have more accurately described
the conditions as they exist today. judg-
the District bill.
1 notice that they profess to be very
anxious to make the nations capital what
the founders of the government designed
it to be-the finest in the world-but,
when it comes time to appropriate the
money necessary to carry on the work,
they act very differently, and as though
it was the duty of the citizens whom
they have disfranchised to furnish the
major portion or let the work stop, and
that the solemn promise to pay one-half
can be violated by Congress with inn
punity at any time. The citizens are, and
always have been, willing to do their
full share, and as stated in Senator
Southards report they have done much
more than their share.
AS recently stated by Commissioner
Mcfarland. we citizens now pay SIG per
capita to support and improve the ma
tons capital. while the SO,OO0,OOO or
other inhabitants pay 6 cents! In
cially as the record shows that the gov
eminent owns fifty millions more than
the citizens do! and that there is In the
District over $2S3.OOO.0OO of non-taxabie
property. which exceeds the amount
owned by the taxpayers by $4,000. 600?
It should be known. also. that, including
every laborer who owns a little home. and
including the one-third of colored popu-
lation, very few of whom pay any taxes,
there are but a little over $1,000 who pay
a land tax in the entire District
Under these circumstances Congress
should be very careful to see that the
District has a square deal in all matters
relating to the improvement and upbuild-
ing of the nations capital What ought
to be done is to adopt the plan suggested
by Senator Hoar In 1901. which. In brief.
was that the citizens should pay rea-
sonable tax on what they own and the
government pay the balance. be it more
or less. as il has entire control and could
be as economical or as extravagant as 1t
pleased. That plan would be self-adjust-
ing, for no matter how much the govern
ment might condemn for It's use or now
much the property of the citizens might
Increase or decrease we would pay on
what we owned, and more we ought not
to pay. w. " DoOuC'

Give Us a Square Deal"
To the Editor Of The Star:

II the District bill is passed with the
provision that the amount appropriated
for Fairgrounds shall be paid by the
taxpayers alone, then there should be
added the proviso that none of the chill
dren of representatives, senator's, the
80 600 government employees and the LOO
from Maryland and Virginia who attend
the District schools Except the very few
who pay taxes in the District), should be
permitted to use the Fairgrounds.
When Congress adopted the present
form of District government in 1873 it
promised to pay one-half of the expenses
SO far as 1t might approve them. Now,
when 1t passes a bill to provide play
grounds as a necessary thing, does 1t not
approve them; and should it not there
fore pay it's half. as it promised?
So in the matter OF street extensions
Every session Congress passes numerous
bills to extend streets, double the width
of those elsewhere. and by SO doing it
approves them; and yet, although the
title to the ground SO taken from private
citizens is transferred to and vests in
the United States government absolutely
Congress refuses to pay it's half! Is that
q square deal?
The reason why Congress agreed to nav
one-half was because it owned so much
of the property in the District on which
1t had not and does not pay taxes; and
which is constantly being increased by
the condemnation of private property for
the use of the United States government
some twenty or more squares having
been thus taken in the heart of the city
since 1872. with bills for some fifteen or
twenty more squares now pending, thus
reducing the tax list by millions
Moreover, as the official records show,
nearly six-sevenths of all the land in the
city was a free gift to the general gov
eminent by the original owners, citizens
of the District, and as stated by Senate
report, the understanding OF all parties
at the time was. that the United States
government was to open and improve the
streets. of which, as decided by the Su-
preme Court. the government has the
absolute title and control: notWithstand-
ing which, as the records show, the citi-
zens have expended at least three times
as much as the government has for that
purpose.
OF course, it is to be presumed that the
representatives and senators OF the pres
emit day are not aware of these facts, or
they would not act or talk as they do.
AS Randolph said in 1902. when urging
the necessity for a local government by
the citizens for the management of the
purely local affairs. I'VE come here to
represent our districts and states. and we
would not have time to obtain that
knowledge Of local affairs necessary to

Conservative and Radical.
From the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
The. word conservative" which has
been appropriated by the political sue
cessors of the tories. is generally believed
to have been first used in its modern
connotation by Croker in an article In
the Quarterly Review of January. 1880.
Two years later Macaulay, In his review
of Dumont's "Mirabeau," refers to 1t as
a new cant word. The word Is of older
origin. Messrs. Love and Sanders. In
their Political History Of England Dur
ing the Reign Of Victoria note that 1t
had been used by Canning at city din
ner as far back as 1924, and this is prob
ably the first instance Of its use as ap-
piled to political party.
Radical in the political sense has an
obvious derivation in radical reformer.
a phrase first used in party politics at the
beginning of the nineteenth century.
Once a term Of reproach, it is now the
-proud title OF a section of the liberal
party. The early radical also gloried in
his title, even to the extent of habitually
wearing a white hat, nicknamed rad
fcal'' in consequence OF one having been
worn by Henry Hunt at various political
meetings in 1920. Now the white hat.
as worn in the house of commons, is gen.
orally a badge OF toryism. And the
grown-up children Of today can remem-
Der being called little radicals
ing 'rascals.
