Duty of Federal Government.

Senator Sterling of South Dakota
said that he had feared very much that
some such action as that taken by the
House appropriations committee would
follow the report of the Joint select
committee of Congress. He said that
he thought the people of Washington
should pay fair and reasonable tax
and that the federal government should
do it's full share. He added that he
would be an effort in the Senate to re-
place the half-and half plan in the
law.
The House committee. in framing the
District bill, he suggested had gone
a long way to disgust those members
of the Senate who believed that by do
ing away with the half-and-half plan a
better system might be evolved for
aging the expenses of the District.
