WOULD SEE WASHINGTON
MODEL CITY OF WORLD
Representative Bailey, in Address,
Outlines Some of the Things He
Believes Needed Here.
Speaks Before Southwest Citizens
Association-Mrs. Benton Mackaye
Talks on Suffrage.

Declaring that he wanted to see
Washington the model city not only OF
the United States but of all the world,
and saying that he had a deep, keen
and abiding interest in the National
Capital, Representative Warren Worth
Bailey of Pennsylvania last night out
lined some of the things he believed to
be definite needs of this city. These
needs, all of which he hopes to meet
through bills which he has introduced
in Congress. are: The right of the
people to govern themselves. the selec-
ton of the board Of education through
election by the people, and tax re-
form, placing all tax on land rather
than improvements.
Representative Bailey expressed these
views in an address before the South
west Citizens Association at the Je1er-
son School In speaking of his own IN
terest in Washington he declared his
belief that every member of Congress
lis well disposed toward Washington.
and that there is no member of either
house who does not wish to see Wash :
ington progress. That this was not al
ways apparent from the action OF some
members, he said, was due to mis-
understanding of conditions here on
their part, or through ignorance or
some other similar cause.
Here are some of the salient points
from Mr. Baileys address:
Subjected by Aliens.
Il feel that Washington should truly
be a city set upon a hill 1t has been
held in subsection by aliens of whom
I happen to be one. We are strangers
here, yet we are in charge and to a
certain degree are responsible for it.
I believe Washington should be as free
as other cities to make Its own mis-
takes and to correct them.
II should like to see Washington set
the pace not only for cities Of the
United States, but for the cities OF the
world. We are one and two hundred
years behind. We are being controlled
by public utilities when we should be
controlling them. They are holding do
minion over US and making profit out
Of US.
Man is the most stupid of all ami
mails. No bird that ever existed tried
to make it hard for itself to build a
nest. Yet we make it hard for our
selves to build and cwn our homes. Do
you want a few landlords and real es-
tate men to own your city," Here
Representative Bailey made his plea for
tax on land and cessation or de-
crease of taxes on improvements and
private property: also such taxes as
automobile and boat licenses.
Following the speakers talk. the as
ISOLATION expressed favor for the self
government plan in the District. as
