URGES j. s. KEEP Up
AND GOVERN CAPITAL
Former Senator Blackburn Of
Kentucky Advocates Oisso-
luton of Partnership.

4 dissolution Of the partnership be-
tween the District Of Columbia and
Federal governments and the substi
tuition of an arrangement whereby
the people will keep up their Capital,
just as Congress now runs that Cap
ital, is suggested by former Senator
Joseph c. s. Blackburn Of Kentucky,
who was active in the framing OF the
organic act in 1873.
Former Senator Blackburn says he
knows his proposal will be regarded
as radical. but he cannot now see the
| wisdom OF. plan whereunder the
Government, with its inexhaustible re-
sources, Is hampered in making this
the greatest of all capitals because OF
a partnership which means that a
small Amount of taxes must be
squeezed out of District residents.
Wrote District Rule Bill.
The Kentuckian was for several
years, while a member of the House,
chairman Of the District Committee
and he was author Of the bill for a
permanent form Of government In tho
District the writing Of this bill fol-
lowing months of investigation by
| commission.
'lnc nail and IL pan "do az io'i
as any arrangement of that character
could have been when 1t was made:
said Mr.. Blackburn. III it was unfair
at all. 1t was unfair as against the
District government, for the Fedsral
Government then owned about hftN-
two per cent Of all the real estate
here and since that time IT has con-
tinued to acquir, additional property.
Mr.. Blackburn says that the fact
that the Government is continually
makes IT exceedingly difficult In these
days to establish Il proper percentage
of contribution to the District upkeep.
"washington is not and never will
city," says former Senator Blackburn
1T should not be. Any ratio fixed
by the Government on one hand and tn"
private property owner on tn" other to
meet the municipal expenses of the
District. must become more and more
ineauitable and unjust from year to
year as property holdings change.
Would Dissolve Partnership.
''It occurs to me there is but one prop
or solution Of the veXed question, and
that Is the dissolution OF the partner
ship between District and Federal Gov
ernments. A nation OF l00.OO0.00 pco-
pie should not permit any partnership
| it's development The residents Of the
District have no voice in municipal or
national affairs and the Fedeal Con-
gress is the common council Of Wash
ington.
"Thc Federal Government is deter
mining the plan of the upbuilding OF
| its Capital and the private citizen has
no voice In those plans. Individual tan
sessed or permitted to contribute to the
extension Of this great national project.
III 1t is argued that the exemption OF
private property owners from taxation
for municipal purposes would tend to
bring an abnormal immigration to
Washington. then it may be argued
that this Is what Is desired. for Wash
ington must always be strictly a resi-
Dental city. The organic law of the
land assigns it a position peculiar to
itself and the Federal Government
should no more permit a partnership
In Its maintenance than in its manage
ment"

AWH|R[ WIND CAMPAIGN
FOR BETTER RURAL SCHOOLS


Wednesday of the same week for tn,
purpose of exchanging ideas and fur
ther studying the conditions with 1
view to improving the same.
ON Friday, the 18th of November
the county superintendent will hole
teachers association in connection
with the county rural school rally
at the county seat, If that is the mos
| suitable place At all Of these meet
ings, speakers will be sent from va
rious parts of the state, from the uni
versity, A. 4 NJ. College, all the nor
nal schools and all the state insti
tutions. the preachers. teachers. law
yers, doctors, and every one who will
ofrer to raise his voice in the interest
Of better rural schools.
The object of all this is to start
movement that should finally lead
to the time when the boy and girl
of the rural school will have as good
chance for an education as the boy
and girl in the city and town.
This movement is being carried on
by the state superintendent. the rural
school commission. and the county
superintendent and all people inter
ested in better rural schools, and it
is being done without funds. hence no
one should expect pay. The only
remuneration that any one will get
out of this work will be the conscious
ness of having done something to
better the rural schools condition
and the whole movement is calcu-
lated to do this state much real good
The writer of this article has twelve
counties in southeastern oklahoma,
and IL is his desire that the moon
light school be the main feature in
this part of the state for the number
of illiterates in this part of the state
exceeds that of any other section.
However, any movement that is cal
culated to arouse the interest Of the
fathers and mothers in the rural
schools so that conditions may be
made better. will be pleasing to those
who are starting the campaign.
Every rural teacher should get in
touch with his county superintendent
at once and begin to plan for this
campaign.
