Senator UnderWood's Plan
for Referendum Here
Is Commended by Attorney

Senator Underwood, champion of the
nroposed referendum of prohibition to
the people of the District, has received
- letter from Alexander Sidney Lanier.
an attorney of this city. praising the
stand which Senator Underwood has
made in regard to the prohibition bill.
Mr.. I.anier said, in part:
..Some members of Congress seem to
think that because the states they rep
resent .re dry" it is good politics. if
not a mandate to them, to impose pro-
hibition upon the District, irrespective
of the wishes of the people. There is
no Justice III such a contention, and it
would be in violation of one of the
most salutary and sacred principles in
our political economy. namely. the
right of local elf-government-a prin-
ciple our honored President has frank
ly avowed his adherence to in general,
and in regard to measures of this ma
ture in particular
This brings me to the question raised
in the debate as to the constitutional
right of Congress to submit the ques-
tion to the vote of the people. 1t is
contended that Congress cannot dele
gate it's power to legislate on this sub
iect. Such a contention is too puerile
for the serious consideration of any
one with even the most elementary
knowledge of our constitutional law.
A vote of the people of the District on
the question would be simply advisory
and no limitation upon the power of
Congress to act as il saw 1T. irrespec-
tive of the vote, or surrender of it's
power in the premises. 1t would be
no more a delegation of the legislative
power of the Congress than for Con-
gress to pass bill on the favorable
report of one of it's committees. made
entirely upon the representation of cit
izens concerning its merits in a public
hearing before the committee"
