a manner worthy of it as the nations

a manner worthy of 1t as the nations
city.
How much of that amount ought the
local community to be required to
raise? More than half? Less than half?
We have tried to convince Congress
that the raising by taxation Of one
half of that part Of this expenditure
which is authorized in the District ap-
preparation bill imposes upon the local
community per capita tax burden
which. however measured, IL at least
nS heavy that which the average
American city and the American cities
most closely apprOxfmating Washing
ton in size and conditions Of environ
ment impose upon Themselves.
II Congress Is convinced that the
washfngto tonian's tax burden is. under
the present arrangement. as heavy as
that OF the Americans resident In other
cities comparable with Washington.
and II thus reasonable AS between
WashiAHton and the nation, tAen we
submit the existing arrnngemenfkhould
be maintained.
Mr.. Johnson's figures and facts tend to
uphold broadly the half-and-half law
which he attacks.
His figures indicate that Congress is
able to exact from the helpless District
taxpayers only about one-half of the
amount which it thinks should be eX-
pended on the National Capital The
Joint committee after thorough c6nsid-
Grafton says that this local taxation
and the total local tax burden are all
that they should equitably be, both alb
solutely and in comparison with what is
paid by the residents of comparable
cities The Joint committee demon
strates that the meeting of this differ
ence between the full cost of National
Capital maintenance and the tax money
reasonably exacted from capital resi-
dents is an equitable obligation rest
ing squarely and solely upon the ma
ton; and is not local deficit and a
federal subsidy for the local benefit.
In connection with this finding of the
joint committee Mr.. Johnson's demon
stration that of the total capital ex-
penditure nearly one-half must be de-
rived from the national funds is a prac-
tical vindcation of the half-and-hal
law.
