.LAUDS COMMITTEE
ON FISCAL AFFAIRS
Citizens Association Appre-
ciates Work Done in Behalf
of-District Organic Act.
ASKS THE ORGANIZATION
TO. CONTINUE IN SERVICE
Extended Report Made on Deposit Of
Local Funds to Credit of
United States.

Expressing the belief that the citi-
zens., joint committee on the fiscal re-
iations between the United States and
District governments did the people of
the District valuable service by its
enort to prevent the abolition of the
half.and-half principle, the Northeast
Washington Citizens Association, at a
meeting held last night at Northeast
Temple, voted in favor of continuing
that organization.
Had the organic act been properly en-
forced by the Commissioners; said
President Tucker. the people of this
city would not have been so much dis
turbed by persons who now are trying
to change the form of government and
impose additional taxation. There
would not have been the troublesome
surplus. he said, had the flexible tax
rate. been. enforced.
w. s. Bransom reported a resolution
from the executive committee which
had reference to proposition which
proyides that all taxes and other reve-
nuss Of the District shall be deposited
In, the treasury of the United States as
miscellaneous receipts. and that all ap-
prcprfat tions for the support of the
District shall be made from money IN
the Treasury not otherwise appfo-
-litdAS0.

Text of Resolution.

The resolution recited:
I'VE believe that In the practical ap-
phcation Of the proposed plan the bur-
den Of taxation on the people of said
District would be gradually increased,
and appropriations would be decreased,
until ultimately the entire burden of
the expenses for the support of the
government of said District would fall
upon the people thereof, whereby the
growth, prosperity and Improvement of
the National Capital would be mate
rally retarded, and great hardship
and injustice would be imposed upon
it's inhabitants"
The resolution was adopted, the en-
acting clause stating that the associa-
tion Is positively and unalterably op-
posed to the suggested plan, and re-
asserted its belief that the organic act
Is just and equitable to both the Dis
tfict and federal governments.
President Tucker, in urging that the
committee be continued. said 1t would
be necessary to have competent per-
sons keep close watch on the many
bills that will be presented, and he
stated that watch can be ably kept by
Mr.. Noyes. Mr.. Macfarland and Mr..
Worthington. DR.. Percival Hall pre-
sented the resolution for maintaining

benefits. Some Of them, he said, were
ruined financially.
The law provides for the extension Of
the street car line to New York ave-
nue. and Bladensburg road as soon as
the avenue Is put in shape, said Mr..
Wood. There are nearly 1000 persons
employed in the railroad shops in that
section who would patronize such q
line. he stated. and he hoped the Com
missioners would see to the making Of
the necessary improvements.
Secretary Jenkins discussed the two
cent transfer problem at Pennsylya-
MIA avenue and 14th, street, expressing
the belief that such transfers are good
until used. although the railway COM
panies decide otherwise. The disputed
question. he stated, will be settled BY
the public utilities-commission.
J. NJ. Wood complained Of delays on
the G street car line at 18th street. The
congestion on 18th street was reme-

DR.. L. D. Walter submitted a reso-

to punish drivers Of vehicles who fee
after knocking down pedestrians. A
number of persons have been injured
by automobiles and other vehicles, he
said, and the drivers fed instead OF
stopping to inquire what damage they
had done. His resolution prevailed. DR..
