Not Fair to Rush Legislation.

Mr.. Wallin said that it was not fair to
rush District legislation. but that matters
pertaining to taxation and assessment of
the District should he gone into thorough
ly. Speaking of District legislation in
general, Mr.. Wallin said
The residents of Washington. it is true
have much to bear. Congress is con-
stantly changing in membership. in per-
sonnet of its committees. in policy and
in its estimates of the necessities for the
District. so that the permanent resident
is uneasy as to what may or may not be
done which will affect his personal inter
ests. Then, TOO. the peculiar form of
government for the District entails hard
ship and also taxation without represen-
tation. The executive officers and en-
ployes are responsible in no way to the
people. They are unsympatheuc and often
autocratic in their management of AFFAIRS.
because they are selected for position not
by ballot but appointment, coming VIZ
tualy under the title of patronage.

financial policies in way. the method of

Earliest Aim of Congress.

That Congress intended TO make of
Washington one of the most beautiful
cities in the world is unquestioned. and
that it did not expect the people of the
District to pay for that realization is also
evident As far back as 1909 President
Adams, speaking Of the District. said to
Congress:
You will consider ii as the capital OF
q great nation. advancing with ineNhaus-
tiDlc rapidity in arts. in commerce, in
wealth and i'll population.
