CITIZENS AND RENT BILL.
Associations Defended From Repre-
sentative Johnson's Criticism.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Representative Ben johnson of Ken
lucky. who. by virtue OF his position
as chairman of the House District COM
mittee. is attempting to arrogate to
himself the position of dictator Of
the District of Columbia, has lately
taken occasion to malign the citizens
associations of Washington because
they have dared to oppose his pet
'anti-rent profteering" bill. These
organizations" he says, ARE all one
and the same thing. The dominating
spirit in them is the real estate men
and landlords"
If he means by that statement that
the citizens associations are composed
Of property owners. of people who own
their own homes. of thrifty. saving,
public-spirited citizens and taxpayers,
then he Is right. because only the home
owner and the public-spirited citizen
will put his time and energy into these
organizations, which bring no financial
returns or honors to those who are
active In them But II these home
owners and public-spirited citizens ven
ture to have opinions of their own
which differ from those of some Of the
self-appointed dicta tors Of this COM
munity in the Congress OF the United
States, should they be branded as
profiteers and thieves?
The local citizens associations are as
nearly as possible the accredited rep
resentatives of this disfranchised COM
munity. In any other part of the United
States, save in the National Capital, the
leaders in these organizations would
be the official representatives Of the
people, elected to office by the peoples
votes. The Federation of Citizens AS
sociations is. as nearly as possible.
body which. under any democratic form
of government, would be the 1egtsla-
tive body of the community, the civic
council of the city. The public-spir-
tied men who compose that body are
representative of all that is best in
this city, of.the responsible hometown
ing citizen. who pays his taxes. but has
no voice in the government that levies
and disburses them.
Representative johnson may consider
it wrong that these people should ven
ture to have any opinions of their own
which are opposed to his, but he should
consider the fact that the Congress of
the United States is primarily the leg
islative body of the nation. and only
incidentally of the District of Column
bia; and that his constituents elected
him to make laws for the nation and
not to infiict his notions on the taxpay
ers Of the District Of Columbia. He
should further consider the fact that
Congress, when serving as legisla-
ture for the disfranchised District of
Columbia. should, in common equity
and decency. have due respect for tho
accredited representatives of the citi-
Gems of the District of Columbia1 and
should not do things which a legisla-
