cerned. The war will soon be over.
and on March new Congress comes
into being. Our campaign will. there
fore, be renewed at an early date with
vsgor and enthusiasm.
Washington's campaign for national
representation is directed principally
along three lines-(D That to secure
favorable reports upon the proposed
amendment from the House Judiciary
and Senate District committees of the
new Congress, t2) to win support of
enough members to insure a two
thirds vote in each house, and CD by;
missionary and educational work to
convince three-fourths of the state leg
islatures of the equity of the Dis
trict's plea.
To accomplish the third end direct
" and the second end indirectly the
facts sustaining the Districts plea for
RATIONAL representation must be spread
yer the whole country
The latest project along this line of
Dmpaign is that put into effect by
Joseph ID. Kaufman and the Adver-
Using Club. All business men and.
indeed, all Washingtonians are in
vited to utilize facilities provided for
the printing upon their letter-heads
for out-of-town letters of condensed
slogan which win arouse interest in
the Districts plea.
Mr.. Kaufman's slogan for use by
business firms and individual Wash
ingtonians is as follows:
-Four hundred thousand residents of
the District of Columbia pay federal
taxes, obey federal laws. 20 to war to
defend the federal government; but
these 100000 have no local self govern
nent, no presidential vote, no national
representation. 'Taxatien without rep
resentation is tyranny viii yoH help
usf IF SO, write US, we'H tell you how
This kind of publicity is very
helpful in the national representation
campaign. 1t educates and arouses the
capital community itself as well as the
outside world. 1t is peculiarly ap-
prepriate kind of work in the eommu-
nity interest for our public spirited
Advertising Club.
The citizens joint committee on ma
tienal representation for the District,
through which the strong trade, civic
and industrial associations of Wash
ington cooperate TO secure enactment
sf the pending constitutional amend
nent, carries on its letter heads and
envelopes the following:
HSince the 100000 Americans of the
District pay national taxes, obey ma
tisaai laws and 60 to war in the ma
lions defense, they are entitled on
in the national government which
taxes them, which makes all laws for
them and which sends them to war;
The same thought is carried broad
east locally by the slogan now to be
printed ON the Board of Trades and
the Chamber of Commences stationery.
II receives further circulation on the
stationery of business firms and ind
viduals at the instance of the Adver-
Z Using Climb.
