DAMAGE SUIT VERDICT
BEFORE HIGHEST COURT
Award Made for Injuries in Case of
instantaneous Death Is
Contested.

Whether the personal representative
of railroad employe killed while en-
gagged in interstate commerce may re-
cover from a railroad for the injury to
the decedent" in cases of "instantan-
eous" death of the employe was pre-
sented to the Supreme Court of the
United States today for decision.
The case in which the point was ar
gued was that of W. N. Shewalter, ad-
ministrator of Robert K. Shewalter,
against the Carolina, Clinchfield and
Ohio railway. Robert K. Shewalter, a
fireman on that road, was killed out
right when his locomotive hit a bowlder
which had rolled down the mountain
side across the track. Judgment for
$4,000 was rendered, but later reduced
to $4,000.
The supreme court of Tennessee held
that no recovery could be held for in
jury to the deceased when his death
had been instantaneous. No claims for
pecuniary loss to survivors was averred
in the suit. Attorneys for the estate,
however, claim that the doctrine ap-
piled by the Tennessee court is relic
of barbarism of the common law. abol-
ished by the 1910 amendment to the
federal employers liability law.

members of the committee will con-
slider the question for moment they
will realize that we have not the time,
the facilities or the money with which
to get that information. 1 doubt very
much If it Gould be accurately obtained
without personal investigation in the
other cities comparable to Washington
in size. I doubt if 1t could be obtained
by correspondence, and 1 doubt if 1t
could be obtained by an outsider from
the census office. 1t is for this reason
that 1 urge so strongly that the COM
mittee by the employment of agents of
it's own gather this information for the
purpose of arriving at conclusion as
to the proper tax rate for the District
of Columbia
IF the committee feels that in COM
pliance with the terms of the resolu-
tion creating 1t 1t must report a plan
of fiscal relationship to Congress by
January l, there is ono method which 1
think could properly be pursued in re-
spect to the tax rate to be applied un-
der the fiscal plan we suggest without
the District or to the United States. I
would like to leave this suggestion with
you for such consideration as you find
it deserves. 1t is this: If this plan is
adopted, the tax rate might be left as
it is, at S1.50 per hundred on two
thirds valuation; in the same bill there
might be a provision calling upon the
director of the census to make the in
vestigation which 1 have outlined as
necessary to be made to determine what
is a fair rate, and to report back 10
Congress not later than January l,
1917. With the information thus OBJ
tanned by the director of the census,
Congress should then be able to deter
mine what is proper tax rate for the
District Of Columbia. and in the mean
time no grave injustice would have
been dope anybody. This arrangement
would simply mean that the property
owners of the District of Columbia
should continue for another year to
pay the same tax that they have been
paying in the past. and it would in no
way interfere with the adoption of the
plan we have suggested"

people has grown up here, which has
all the qualities of any other city in
the United States-the same impulses,
the same feelings, the same motives.
the same desires that 350,000 people
gathered together in one community
anywhere have; that therefore it is
city, irrespective of what the trainers
of the Constitution intended.
Il have heard people argue for hours
on this question. Now, it seems to me
that this is another matter about which
a confusion of words has confused the
issue. 1 think every one will agree
that it was the intention of the trainers
of the Constitution that this should be
a federal center. set off here away from
the political activities of the states for
the purpose of housing the seat of gov
ernment. There is no doubt but what
that was the intention originally. but
I think we will also agree that there
is now a city of 100000 people here.
In other words. the advocates of both
sides are right. 1t is the National Cap
ital the seat of government; it is also
city of $500 people. In other words,
we have an equation containing two
factors, and the thing to do is to ascer-
tain which is the dominant factor. It
is obvious that the national government
is the dominant factor. which must
and will continue to run the District
of Columbia; which will continue to
take the responsibility for everything
that is done in the District of Column
bia, and will conduct the affairs of the

Decrease in Tax Rate.

TN considering the increase of reye-
nues I would like also to call the COM
mittees attention to the fact that
there has been. In effect, since 1873 a
decrease In the tax rate. l said a mo-
ment ago that the rate was fixed at
$3.50 hundred, and it has remained
at that figure ever since, and that. the
tax rate being rigid, the revenues have
automatically increased. What amount
ed to a decrease in the tax rate was
caused by the act of Congress, carried
in the form of a proviso under the ap-
preparation bill of 1902, which stipu-
lated that thereafter real property in
the District of Columbia should be as
sessed at not less than two-thirds of
its actual value. I would like to say
a word in explanation of that proviso,
which has been the subject of a great
deal of controversy in and out of Con-
gress.
IF you consider tho proviso entirely
irrespective of the conditions which
produced it. taking 1t merely at it's face
value, you will assume that it's purpose
was to fix a minimum for assessme nts

President Not a Prophet.

MY own judgment is that this is an
unsafe doctrine and that it might lead
to irremediable injustice to private
rights. The handspring of such a
view is that the executive is to play the
part of q universal Providence and set
all things right. The President is not
an omnipotent and benevolent prophet.

pie in settling the Pennsylvania an

Big Surplus in Future.

Looking into the future, we find an
additional reason why it is very i'm
portant that this increase in District
revenues be carefully considered It
seems to me that these figures alone
show the necessity of a rearrangement
of the fiscal relation between the Dis
trict of Columbia and the United States
because unless they are rearranged In
1920 we will have a surplus of District
revenues of about $4,000. 900, which OBJ
viously would be absurd"

as a tentative estimate of surplus in

to decrease assessments. An investiga-
tion had just been made of assess
ments and the committee that conduct
ed the investigation had ascertained
through it's hearings that assessments
were very low, running from 20 per
cent to so per cent. Feeling that it
would be impossible in short space
of time to get assessments up to full
value, as then required by law, but re-
solved to bring about an Improvement

about an increase in the assessments,

Comparison With Other Cities.

Right here I want to digress to say
word on a subject which has received
a great deal of attention from the rep
resentatives of the citizens committee
That is the comparison of Washington
with other capital cities of the world.
subject which has also received con-
siderable attention and has been dis
cussed by the advocates of self-gov-
ernment in the District of Columbia:
The fact that London is the capital of
Great Britain is not the dominant ele-
ment of the situation there. 1t is the
incidental element. The dominant ele-
ment is the fact that London is the
tremendous commercial, financial and
industrial center of the whole British
empire.
In considering the affairs of that
municipality that factor is a greater
factor than that it is the seat of gov
ernment. We are told that London has
done this, or Paris has done that, or
the people off in Rio de Janeiro have
done the other, but all this has nothing
whatever to do with what ought to be
done in Washington, because we have a
wholly unique situation, as I said, par
alleled only by Camberra, and not eX-
actly like that. because the new consti-
tuition of Australia, under which it is
established, provides that title to all
in the government forever.
If that provision had been incorpo-
rated when the District of Columbia
was constituted you gentlemen would
not have been here to conduct this in
vestigation today. because that is the
point of conflict, the issue between the
government on one side and the right
of the individual to the use of the land
which he owns in fee. If there was no
privately owned land in the District of
Columbia this question would not have
arisen, as the District would have been
actually federal reservation.
