After a long discussion the East
Washington Citizens Association. at its
May meeting last night, deferred ac-
ton on the Jones-Works excise bill
and referred 1t to it's executive COM
mittee for consideration and report be-
fore any resolution be recognized by
the chair. The association met in East
Washington Hail.. 314 Pennsylvania
avenue southeast.
From the outset 1t was apparent that
practically all of the members had de-
cided opinions on the bill, and that q
resolution either favoring or opposing
1t would be vigorously fought An at
tempt was made to discuss the bill
one section at time, but the various
motions offered. before. three Of the
twenty-seven sections had been read
by the secretary. C. NJ. Emmons be-
came so involved that Roadway seemed
impossible.
Ruled Eligible for Debate.
NJ I. Weller declared that the bill
involved religious and political ques-
tions, and, therefore, was not eligible
for discussion at a meeting of the asso-
citation. w. NJ Potter. president Of the
that he had carefully studied the bill
and that it did not bear on religious
or political views. and was a proper
one for discussion. The constitution
of the association was called for. AS
copy of the document could not be
found. the chair took the responsibility
Of allowing the meeting to proceed.
Out of the network of conflicting
suggestions the meeting finally con-
cluded to have the executive commit

ton, and II so, special meeting will
be called.
Although he opposed any discussion Of
organization. Mr.. Weller went on record
as personally opposing the passage OF the
bill.
Oppose School Board Change.
The association unanimously passed a
resolution introduced by D. M. Hildreth
opposing the bill now before the House
to abolish the board Of education and
providing for a director Of education and
six assistants. The members went on
record as being perfectly satisfied with
the present system and opposed not only
the bill now under discussion. but any
other purporting to change the system.
The resolution states that the present
board of education is composed of local
citizens of high character and recog-
niZed ability. who give their valuable
services without compensation to the
management and supervision of the pub
lie schools to the general satisfaction of
the taxpayers" Speakers for the reso-
luton said that the sproposed change
would give the Commissioners too much
