Gives Cause OF Alarm.

"Cnwflllngness to appropriate national
money for District purposes under any
plan and desire TO make the District
people pay all the District expenses caused
the alarm which defeated those measures
and resulted in the appointment of this
joint select committee to consider the
proportion Of expenses to be paid re-
spectiveIy by the United States and the
District people.
In destroying, as we have done, the
foundation stone Of the opposition to the
halfand-half plan. namely. the assertion
that in 1912 the real property in the Dis
trict was worth s744 100000, we have de-
stroyed the only real reason for a change.
We have shown by the assessment
comparison with sales for five years
that the present assessment is about 72
per cent, and compared with present
prices nearer three -fourths than two
thirds. At 73 per cent il would show a
true value of $3.50. 100000, three years
after the false estimate of 1912. We
have shown that the assessment Is ex-
cessiye as compared with other cities
and that our total per capita tax levied
Is higher than in most American cities
We have therefore shown that we are
now bearing "A reasonable burden Of
taxation, and all we can properly carry
Besides. we pay more than the average
in national taxes
"RevEwing the hearings, we observe
that all the measures suggested in sub
stitute for the half-and-hal plan, ex-
cept perhaps the single tax were pro.
posed and fully considered between
1874 and 1878, when the organic ac
was in process of evolution. No new
reasons have been given, nor have
changed conditions been shown, to JUS
MY the adoption of any substitute. Or
the contrary, the reasons given in 1875

plan are as strong now as ever

Single Tax Law Repealed.

"As to the single takers, whether
officials or private citizens. l have only
to say that, beginning with the Henry
George, jr, report to the House in
1912, there seems to be concerted ef-
fort On their part to abolish the half
and half plan in the interest of their
panacea. They frankly said in this
hearing however, through two of their
number, that if the half-and- plan
was abolished without the adoption OF
their panacea the effect would be 0p-
pressive" and disastrous" Their most
practical statement was that one city
in the United States, even though d
small one, namely, Pueblo, Col, was
actually under the single tax system.
and certainly the experiment ought
not to be tried first on Washington.
But Pueblo already is tired of the sin
gle tax, as in response to an inquiry
received the following telegram:
Pueblo, Col, November 6, 1915.

"'THOMAS y. DUKE,
president of Council
Let me; add that our policy has been
since the committee was organized in
March to furnish light without heat. We
do not admit that there are hostile or
diverse interests between the United
States government and the District
people. We claim that they are friends
living together. We have made no per-
sonal attacks, here or elsewhere, on the
men in Congress. Our criticisms are of
measures. not men. We deny that the
half-and-half plan, or any other thing, has
brought about state of war between
Congress and the District people Our
protest has been against the George re-
port and bills founded on its now dis
proved assumption, that if properly taxed
the District people could pay all the Dis

Argument "Unanswerable, -

Mr. Blackburn's opinions always arc
entitled to respect. but their strength
depends on their reasons and not on his

adoption of the half-and- half plan which
are as appropriate today as then, and

Revenues Treated as Such.

THE actual legislation of Congress
requires that the revenues of the Dis
trict of Columbia shall be treated as
such in the Treasury Department, and,
as a matter OF fact. that has been
done. The appropriations Of Congress
have been paid out OF the revenues of
the District of Columbia and out of
the national revenues. Moreover, the
