A POWERFUL BIG BACK


BONE was required in Chas R.
Crisp to introduce law in Con-
gress requiring the great city of
Washington to pay its part OF all
taxes. Tax payers all over the
United States had up to that time
been helping pay the whole CITY
taxation OF that great city, but
Crisp knew it was not fair. He
passed a law compelling Wash
lngton city to pay her own taxes
That is BACKBONE and WIS
DOM. 1t took nerve too. Why
did not some Congressman all
these years before pass such an
act? Was it lack of wisdom, back
bone and nerve We tell YOU
Crisp is a tall and powerful Con-
gresham, fair and impartial, fear
less and DESTROYS of pleasing
those in his district by wise and
beneficial legislation. Who can
say anything against this
