SHOWS DISTRICTS
HELP FROM STATES

In advance Of the consideration of bills
attacking the half f-and-half principle of
taxation, members of the House found
in their mail today a letter from Con-
gresham Ben Johnson, chairman of the
District COMMITTEES, showing the amount
each State contributes toward the run
ming expenses of the District of commit
tee.
The johnson letter purports to show
the State contributions to the D STREET
budget for the fiscal year 1911-1912. The
basis of computation is apparently on
the population Of the States. The state
ment subdivides the various District eN-
penses. such as schools, streets. sewers,
fire department, etc, and il is the in
tention Of Mr.. johnson to show each
legislator how much his State gives to
these District improvements and ex-
penses.
1t is probable that the accuracy Of the
table will be challenged. however, be-
cause 1t does not show on its face that
the District has put I'D out Of it's revc-
nues dollar for dollar with the Federal
Government. The table shows that the
District contributes 81, 30S, representing
certain appropI iations from its own
revenues. but does not include the more
tEan $500. 90 put up that year for rum
ming expenses.
On the other hand, critics say, the
statement shows the States cont-ipu-
NE thod Of compiling them They run
from 1914. 18. for New York. to s5.517
for Nevada The total given is Sc. 197. 413,
including the so. 3oS from the District,
hut the appropriation dill TO- that year
was approximately 12,0l0, 900, the Dis
trict putting up cne-half Of the amount
ard matching dollars with the States.

ing which prompted the letter and by
the warm terms in which 1t is couched.
Whoever lives in your city cannot but
feel the charm OF its outrageous streets
