Believes 1t a Gift.

Il am of the opinion replied Repre-

the appropriation bill reads just as it
reads now, and there is no remedy to col
lect that which has been paid-a thing
which has been repeated for many years
this proposition makes it gift. when
coupled with the first provision OF the
bill, which reads thac the items hereafter
set out in the bill shall be paid upon the
half-and-half plan. Now, if the present
interest and sinking fund item Is taken in
connection with the first provision OF the
bill, which is that all these items in thu
bill shall be paid upon the half -and-half
plan then the half of this S9i''.tHb be-
comes gift to the District OF Columbia
by the federal government, and there is
W here | contend there is no authority.
There is existing law which authorizes
an appropriation to be made to pay this
sinking fund and interest. but there is no
law which authorizes this committee TO
bring in q bill leaving out the limitation,
leaving out the qualification that this
money must. when advanced by the
treasurer of the United States and paid
for the District of Columbia. be repaid

Defends Organic Act.

Representative Saunders OF Virginia a
member of the subcommittee which pre-
pared the District appropriation bill, was
the sole defender Of the organic act. Pre-
vious to Representative Roddenberys
ruling he said:

ton on the part of the government to

Refers to Prior Ruling.

Mr.. saunders referred to a prior rUl-
ing of Chairman Roddenbery on a point
of order made against the item for the
police department.. the point being
based largely on the ambiguity of the
terms of Jhe act creating the police de-
partment. In that case Mr. Rodden-
berry ruled that a Subsequent act in an
appropriation bill. passed by the same
House. should he taken as the author
itative construction of the intent of the
first act.
MIR. Saunders pointed out that in the
debate upon the act by which the
United States assumed the RESPONSE
bilitY for the funded Indebtedness OF
the District. those opposing the meas
ure agreed it was to burden the
United States for all time to come. 50

Never Challenged.

Let me call Your attention to another
fact in that connection. that Mr.. Black
burn. some years thereafter, was
member of this body. and never after
ward in these debates during his scrV-
ice in the House. did he attempt to
challenge the proposition that. under
the act, the government VAS liable for
one half of that fund. ] am told that
il is a fact--Of this | am not personally
apprised-that he was in charge of the
District of Columbia appropriation bill
that carried the first provision of this
sort.
1T is sound principle of Interpretation
that body OF related legislation must
be construed with respect TO its general
intent. Mr.. Saunders had quoted from
the debate at the time OF the assumption
of the Indebtedness numerous passages
showing clearly that the intent of the
legislators at the time was that the
United States should bear onc-half of the
principal and interest of the debt.
