Share of Government.

In regard to the question as to what
share the federal government shall
bear in the expenditures for the Dis
trict the following alternatives are
suggested:
Complete separation of national and
municipal functions-Under this plan
Congress would appropriate funds from
the United States Treasury for such
projects and for such items of District
expenses as might be determined to be
entirely or in part a proper object of
national concern, and these funds
would be disbursed by federal official;
while the residents of Washington. I'M
der a municipal charter granted by
Congress. would pay all of the munich
pal expenses of the District, the
residents of other cities do, from the
proceeds of municipal taxation.
"Proportionate contributions - The
United States and the District residents
to contribute toward the expenses of
the District in proportion to the rela-
tive value of property under national
ard private ownership. Under the pres
ent system Of taxation the respective
contributions would be based on the
relative value Of both land and i'm
provements. Under system of taxa
ton in which the public revenues would
be derived mainly from tax on the
value of land the respective contribu-
lions would be based on the relative
value of land owned and occupied, re-
spectively, by the United States gov
eminent and the residents of the Dis
trict-"

United States Should Pay Part.

That the federal government should
pay proportion of the annual ex-
penditures of the District is maintained
by the association. 1t says:
The city of Washington has been
planned On national scale, and if this
Is TO be maintained il is rnanifestly I'M
iair that the entire burden should fall
on the local residents. Congress has

being made Immediately the brief of
the association suggests 1.-The abo-
lition of all taxes on personal property

ton of an equitable and up-to-date sys-
TEN of taxation, including the following
features:
A progressively heavier tax on land
values, and the gradual exemption of
buildings and improvements from taxa
ton until all revenue from real property
is finally collected from land values.
A tax on local franchises and monopo-
Hes under private ownership.

Thought Ideal Adjustment.

AS between these methods of arrv-
ing at the share to be borne by the
federal government, the brief says:
The former is thought to be the
ideal adjustment of the fiscal and
political relations between the national
government and the District. 1t is the
method which. in our judgment, must
ultimately be adopted But it involves
the question of local self-government,
and on that question Congress has not
let taken action
The second method appears to be
more Immediately practical BILE. That
IL is based on sound principles of JUS
