IDLE AUTOMOBILE
Mr.. Berger Thinks District
Committee Needs It.,

Victor L. Berger. Socialist Represents
tive in Congress. has an assignment for
the discarded automobile Of the Speaker
lies rusting in the garage provided by
Elliott Woods. superintendent Of the
Capitol He AYERS that inasmuch as the
District Committee Of the House acts
in the capacity Of a board Of aldermen
for the city Of Washington, it should
have transportation to get about the
city and view the various projects on
which 1t must pass. He says the gov
ernment machine which Speaker Clark
has declined to use may as we'll be placed
at the disposal Of the District members.
The subcommittee on streets and ave-
nues, Mr.. Berger says, has special need
for that machine at this time, as there
are many street extensions measure
pending which It is impossible to inspect
unless the members provide their own
transportation or walk.
LAS q matter Of fact there should be
an automobile at the disposal Of every
one Of the District subcommittee" said
Mr.. Berger yesterday. THE members
OF these bodies. II they are to pass on
legislation for the District should be ac-
quainted intimately with what they are
doing. Give US the auto which Champ
Clark refuses to use and 1t may partially
answer the purpose"
Mr.. Berger holds memberships on the
subcommittee on streets and avenues
and steam and street railways. He an
nounces that he has already spent con-
siderable cash in automobile hire in order
to become acquainted with Washington.
but that he does not propose to keep up
that drain.
Street extension projects. as a rule.
are located away from the car lines"
said Mr.. Berger. Personally. I should
not mind spending money or walking, but
to see these projects once or twice, but
I will not keep 1t up-especially in this
warm weather. The municipal board Of
any well-regulated city must have trans
portation If 1t does its work well. There
fore. why not give US members Of the
District Committee the proper means of
getting about"
Mr.. Berger said he did not blame
Speaker Clark for refusing to use the
automobile left him by former Speaker
Cannon.
He does not specially need that ma
chine" he said The District members
do need II, but, OF course, we will not be
allowed to use 1t. As a matter Of fact
this legislative game is not in earnest
or we would have means to do our work
right and go at It in an earnest way"
