Taxation and Representation.

Why should not the District OF Columbia
have not only delegate in. Congress- but the
full representation of a State? 1t would require
an amendment to the Constitution, but that is
not an unusual demand now. There more
than two-seore resolutions before Congress pro-
posing Constitutional amendments and none of
them are as much in keeping with the spirit of
the Declaration of Independence as that to en-
able the District of Columbia to have full rep
resentation in Congress. There were in 1910 FIVE
States which had less population than the Dis
trict They were Idaho, Wyoming, New Mexico,
Arizona and Nevada, There were two other
States Utah and Vermont that had but little
larger populations than the District These
seven States have Senators and Representatives
who influential in shaping legislation for the
whole country and some of them opposed to
any kind of representation for the District But
they would hardly contend that they represented
better constituency. The District is holding
its increase in population better than any of these
seven States and in 1870 will probably have more
population than any of them.
But there is another side to the question Our
old Colonial shbboleth was mo taxation without
representation" If we apply that rule, the Dis
trict is more entitled to full representation in
Congress than any one of twenty-one States,
because the people here pay more taxes into the
Federal Treasury 70. Federal use-not District
use-than any one of those twenty-one States.
On the basis of taxation the District is more
entitled to representation than Alabama, Arkansas
Arizona, Delaware, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas
Maine, Mississippi Montana, Nevada, New Hanfp-
shire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma,
Oregon, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah,
Vermont and Wyoming, because the District paid
more taxes to support the Federal government
than any one of these States.
Income taxes are the fashion now and accord
ing to reports from the Ways and Means Com
mittee they to be relied on for revenue
in the future than in the past. If income taxes
are to be the measure of representation, then
the District is more Untitled to seats in Senate
and House than thirty-four States, because last
year the District paid more income taxes than
did any of those States. In fact the Districts
income taxes were exceeded only by California
Connecticut, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts,
Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey New
York, Ohio Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and
Texas
Take the measurement of the District in any
way, population, internal revenue or income taxes
and it measures up to sovereign States, and ought
to have representation in Congress.

The Debt that Should Be Paid.

The Cary bill, creating an adequate and de-
pendable pension fund for retired policemen and
hremen of Washington, lacks one important
feature. 1t should carry an appropriation OF
some $4,000 to pay the Districts debt to its
incapacitated guardians, which has piled up from
year to year because of the failure of the present
precarious makeshift of a system to produce
money enough to square the pension roll The
Washington Herald has always contended that
the District owes to the men whose names are
on this roll of honor the total amount of PEN
sons in arrears and unpaid The District
will remain the debtor of its worthy and needy
former servants until this money, which is theirs
in all justice, is paid over to them.
Representative Carys bill provides that DO
licemen and fremen in active service shall con-
tribute one and one-half per cent of their wages
certainly sufficiently large share-to the PEN
sion fund, the remainder to be provided for out
of the Districts revenues. Under the haif-and-
half system this provision would be unfair to
the taxpayers of Washington, in view of the
large area and value of Federal property pro-
tected by the Washington fire and police depart
ments; but since it is understood that this wear
the Districts revenues are to be utilized as far
as they will go toward meeting its expenses, and
that whatever additional amount is necessary
will be appropriated from the Federal Treasury,
the difference is a matter of bookkeeping,
provided the District is not stinted in its actual
requirements.
But the Districts debt to the men whose DAYS
of valiant service are over remains Will not
Representative Cary in the interest of justice,
amend his BILL so that we may meet our obi

The Highway to Annapolis.

1t is only just and fair that the Federal gov
crnment should bear portion of the expense of
constructing a highway between the National
Capital and the United States Naval Academy
at Annapolis; and since Maryland has already pro-
vided for its share of the cost of thus connect
ing its own capital with that of the nation the
expenditure is justified by expediency. That
Maryland will derive the greater material bene-
fits from such a highway may be conceded but
it would offer many practical advantages to the
Federal government and would mark an important
step in the direction of greater and more i'm
pressive Capital, that in time will take its right
full place among the worlds most imposing seats
of government The money that Maryland spends
may represent an investment in utility, while the
governments expenditure will include also con-
tribution to grandeur and to- sentiment Since
the United States is to incur no future liability
for the maintenance of the highway, the S2soooo
which the bill introduced yesterday by Senator
Smith proposes to appropriate must be regarded
as rather inconsequential compared with
what the completed project will represent.
Objections to Senator Smiths measure are
not reasonably to be expected. Certainly il
should receive the support of all residents OF
Washington and all of those, in and out of Con.
gress, who take a pride in the upbuilding and
beautifyng of the National Capital

Toll of Accidents in New York.

The total number of street accidents in New
York City during 1915 according to Police Com
missioner Woods, writing in the April Worlds
Work, was 22,54o. In these accidents the number
OF individuals injured killed was 23o8o.
One person killed every I3 Id hours, and
person injured every twenty-five minutes
AS 80 per cent of the accidents take place dur
ing the thirteen busy hours of the day, it follows
that during such hours person was injured
every fifteen minutes.
There were two and one-half times as many
persons killed in street accidents in New York
during 1915 murdered-65o killed in street
accidents and 200 murdered.
Twenty-one per cent of street accidents befell
persons who were in the street in some other
place than the cross-wak. This is three out OF
fourteen. Two out of every seven persons in
jured in vehicular accidents were in the street at
some other place than the street crossing.
The most tragic element of the whole accident
problem is the number of children that arc vic
tins. During the year, 200 children were killed
and 1886 injured.
This means that every sixty-nine minutes a
New York child is hurt in the streets.

Bad Bosses Becoming Good.

Now that the Colonel has made up with Elihu
Root, who, more than any other man, helped to
deprive him of the Republican nomination in 1912,
the day of the grand reconciliation with Pen
rose, Barnes ct al, looms brightly in the near
future. For be it remembered that in the Roose-
velt theory of politics boss is bad only when
he opposes the wishes of TIE ex-Presdent. When
Penrose supported him in 1904 and rolled up an
unprecedented majority in Pennsylvania no words
were too warm to express the gratitude of the
White House And Boise Penrose is the same in
1912 as in 1904 Theodore Roosevelt it may be
remarked, is also unchanged. Fortunately the
people have taken his measure in the intervening
twelve years, and they better estimate the sim
cerity of his politics now.-Philadelphia Record.
