This. however. does not terminate
the work OF the board. 1t will be our
province and duty to continue our ef-
forts, to the end that Congress takes
some definite action upon the report,
and b. it's mandate shall settle finally
the nuch-vexsd question of contribu-

portion as founded iii the organic act.
It cannot be denied that this uncer-

dividual members Of Congress has done
much to unsettle real estate values.
Definite action Is now necessary to re-
store stability In values to those which
existed prior to the agitation in Con

cluded in Mr.. Brandenburg's report.
He said, in part:
The subject of dwellings in alleys
is given careful consideration in the
report 1t calls attention to the fact
that the act approved September rs.
1914, regarding occupancy Of dwellings
in alleys. does not become effective
until 1918. before which date the hope
Is expressed that some plan may be
devised by which relief will be af-
forded to the owners of such property
and at the same time make 1t possible
to carry out the purposes of the act.
The committee has given this question
much serious thought, but no definite
or satisfactory solution has as yet
been reached

Recognition of Public Library.

This recommendation regarding the
Public Library. as made by the COM
mittee having that institution under
consideration. was quoted by Mr. Bran
denburg:
That the Washington Board of
Trade recognizes the Public Library of
the District of Columbia as an insti-
tuition of great and growing Importance
in the system of public education. in
dorses the efforts of the trustees to
secure additional financial support to
enable the library not only to maintain
its present state. but to greatly in
crease its usefulness and to become
worthy Of the District of Columbia
Endorsement of Ernest L. Thurston
as superintendent of public schools;
that the board actively renew its in
dorsement of the establishment and
maintenance Of a retirement fund for
the public school teachers of the Dis
trict of Columbia. and that free school
books should be furnished high school

Political Status of Residents.

The time has now arrived when
active steps should be taken 70 the end
that the right Of franchise he secured
10 the citizens OF the District Of Co
lumbia With the development and
growth of the nation there has been a
corresponding increase III the demand
upon the tune and attention of the
members of Congress TO respond to the
requirements OF their respective con-
stituenciss. thus preventing the District
affairs from receiving the attention
they demand. We do not believe that
the silence of the Constitution upon the
right of franchise for the liStrlct IN
dicates the purpose on the part of its
trainers that We should have less rights
than even the aliens within our Dor
ders. but on the contrary, We strongly
believe that il was a mere oversight
OF their part The fact that both po-
htical parties recognize the right or
r3ae District to representation In the
national conventions to AID III the nohi-
lnativn Of the President and Vice PreSl-
dent. with no right to participate in
their election. is an anomaly. IT is
well known fact that according TO the
last census the population OF the Dis
trict OF Columbia exceeds that OF the
States Of Nevada, Wyoming. Delaware.
Arizona, Idaho and New Mexico, and
vet these states are each repreSented
in the Senate and House. We feel
strongly that with a citizenship OF
more than 360,G6G OF highly enlightened
people who have always stood ready to
respond to the demands Of the Union
in times of war as we'll as in times of
peace We should at least have the
right TO participate in saying how we
shall be taxed and the disposition to be
made OF such taxes. Taxation without
representation has always been OBJ
noxieas to the American mind. and as
the city develops and the demands in
crease SO has the desire TO participate
through representation in Congress il
the affairs OF the Union.
THE citizens of the District are as
patriotic and loyal to the nation as any
other. History proves that when the
call to arms has been sounded the
r District has responded with prompt
ness and ill greater numbers than many
Of the states. Although it had no right
TO participate in the councils of the ma
ton in determining the course to be
taken. its citizens have never question
ed their duty when the emergency
arose. and they stand ready to respond
again if occa sion demands. They like
wise bear their proper proportion OF
the revenue required by the govern
ment, and, in fact, contribute annually
in customs and internal revenue taxes
a greater amount than many of the
states. We bear all the burdens and
respon sibilities OF citizenship. but are
denied enjoyment of its rights and
privileges.

Not a Question of Politics.

With US il is not a question of poll
tics party. but ii is the inaiienable
right guaranteed to every citizen of the
we demand be extended to the District.
Citizenship of the District not only has
deprived US of the right of suffrage. but
has deprived us of the equal rights in
the courts of the United States guar
aBteed by it's laws to the citizens of the
states. Citizens OF different states have
the right, by reason OF that fact, to sue
and be sued in the United states courts,
and have the like right to remove GER
tain causes from the state to the fed
eFaI courts on that ground. To the citi-
Zsns of the District this right ia denied
1T for any reason Congress deems
il inadvisable at the present time to
pass a resolution providing for the
amendment to the Constitution placing
the District upon the same footing as
the states with reference to representa-
ton In Congress and the right to vote
for President and Vice President. then
We earnestly urge that resolution be
adopted. which. when ratified by the
legislatures of three-fourths Of the
states. shall empower Congress to adj
NIT 10 the status Of citizens Of a state
the residents Of the District, constitute
ing the seat OF government OF this
Upitsd States. for the purpose Of repre-
sentation in Congress and among the
electors of President and Vice Presi-
dent, aud tor the purpose of suing and
being sued in the courts Of the United
States.
I'VE are aware OF no other nation
that deprires the citizens of its capital
the right of franchise, and even in
those countries that have fashioned
their constitution after ours this over
sight has been rectifed.

Suggestions on Public Health.

Recent action OF the public utilities
commission looking to better ventila-
tion and restriction of crowding on
street cars. as cited by the report Of
the committee on public health. was
referred to by President Brandenburg.
Other points in the report Of the COM
rnittee to- which the speaker referred
are:
'The committee expresses the hope
that the difference as TO the location
OF the proposed municipal hospital may
soon be adjusted. 1t recommends the
approval of House bill 1865, providing
for school and home for the feeble
minded in the District: that all bread
offered for sale in the District be
wrapped at the bakery in prepared
paper and sealed. as the purchase of
unvrapped bread is detrimental to
health, and that Senate bill 1892, known
as the milk bill, be approved.
"It also recommends an appropria-
ton to tefray the cost OF a publication
by the health department of the city
giving Information of interest concern
ing matters affecting the public health,
and the appointment of two additional
medical inspectors and two additional
sanitary inspectors to facilitate better
enforcement of existing laws.
