Disposition in Congress
to Probe District Affairs

Representative Thetus W. Sims of Ten
nessee. one time member of the COM
mi.tee on the District of Columbia. but
now finding activities on other commit
tees still continues to take. as he has
always manifested, a deep interest in
District affairs.
Il realize, said Mr. Sims. that many
items of expense enter into the ma;nte-
nance of the National Capital. such.
which would not be Incurred by the ordi-
nary city government For example. the
capital should have and does have wider
and more magnificent streets. involving
greater cost of construction and upkeep
han would suffice for commercial city.
The same principle applies all along the
line OF city maintenance.
Balance Should Be Maintained.
And yet the balance must be main
aimed and the capital must not run into
extravaganza through attempting too
much grandeur. The people at large are
more concerned in the character of the
laws emanating from their capital than in
the magnificence Of its buildings or the
elegance of its general surroundings =.
1t is questionable whether it is
good plan to forever hold out to the
residents Of the capital the hope that
for every dollar of their tax money
they produce the government VIII give
another dollar. In saying this i am
voicing the sentiment which L often
hear expressed by my colleagues.
1.-The people Of Washington should
know that there is a growing interest
among congressman in the affairs OF
this city, a disposition to more closely
scrutiniZe not only expenditures. but
the general plan and method of gov.
prnmpnt and hears great deal
of criticism from time to time OF pres
ent policies. The citizens might as
well realize this now and prepare TO
hear it voiced in the coming Congress.
Il do not mean to convey that there
is any increase of sentiment inimical
or hostile to the District. but rather
that congressman are in questioning
attitude, intent upon learning for them
selves about the city's fiscal affairs and
to apply the test of their judgment to
policies now in force.
What Congress May Do.
IF the city is to emerge from debt.
some men in Congress may see the adj
visibility of relieving the federal
treasury Of a part of the burden now
borne. and applying the revenues of
the District alone to ambitious schemes
of improvement.
Il never want to see Washington
grow into pretentiouS commercial or
manufacturing city. Rather than seek
to bring industries to the capital I
would exert myself to discourage their
coming. This should ever remain the
seat of government, as free as possible
from atmosphere such as surrounds
busy working city with a varied popu-
lation.
Il have no suggestions to make as to
radical changes in the plan of govern
ment, but ] do know that there is
growing feeling in Congress that there
is room for inquiry into the present
plan, and out Of such inquiry there
Will likely be suggestions for amend
ment''
