Ben Prince Says Other Cities Will
Offer Better Housing for
Workers.

ment departments unless steps imme-
dately are taken to provide adequate
ployes. Ben Prince. collector of taxes
for the District of Columbia, told the

meeting last night in the rooms of the
Board of Trade.
Mr.. Prince said this decentralization
OF the government is an impending pos
sibility, and urged that immediate ac-
ton be taken. for the erection of more
homes here He said that once this de-
Capitalization is permitted to begin ii
will be disastrous to the city.
''Other communities will begin to
reach for government activities and the
movement will be difficult to combat,
once it starts" he said. Every repre-
sentative and every senator will be be-
sieged by wideawake~cities in their dis
tricts to obtain some of the depart
ments. We are a city of close to 500. 900,
and we are not going back. Washing
ton today is the most underbuilt city in
the United States, and immediate steps
are necessary to remedy the conditions
that exist

Campaign Mapped Out.

Details of the federa-ion's campaign
are being mapped out by the commit
tee on civic development and federal
chairman.
we propose" said Mr. Westlake,
Ito cooperate in every way with the
citizens joint committee on national
representation and the other civic
bodies working for suffrage. I be-
lieve that each organization has a
particular work 1t can do in the cam
paign.
The Advertising Club. for example,
knows best how to advertise Wash
ington's case. The general committee
OF representation is better able than
any other to present the case to Con-
gress. And what the federation is
planning to do viii not conflict with
the work of the others.
we propose to appeal, as citizens of
the District, to the citizens of the
United States to help US in our effort
to get representation in the House
and Senate and in the electoral col
lege.'
Appeal on Correspondence.
Mr.. Westlake gave his unqualified
Endorsement to the idea of Joseph D.
Kaufman of printing suffrage ap-
peal on all correspondence going out
of Washington as means of letting
the people of the states know that
100000 residents of the National Capt.
tai have no voice in their own affairs.
Mr.. Westiake said he felt confident
that every citizens association will
cooperate in this movement. Bust
ness firms willing to put a suffrage
appeal on their ietterheads should call
Mr.. Kaufman at Franklin 827. He
will tell them what to do

OREGON REAL GODS
COUNTRY COMPARED
WITH CALIFORNIA

aIt is easy for person to think
of Oregon as a country that GOO
made: but here is a country that
looks like Almighty God had started
It once and then rested from his ef-
forts" writes H. S. Prescott, formerly
a reporter on the Capital journal,
hut who now resides at Atascadero,
California, in letter to Lawrence
Gale. of Gale and Company, Salem. J
ssAnd.. continues Mr.. Prescott. 'lThe
Caiifornians came along and made
billions out of it-with the help of
the tourists"
Loyal To Oregon.
In his letter the one-time Capital
journal reporter vows loyalty to Ore
gon, declaring that when he left the
Willamette Valley recently the eli
mate became more rigorous with each
southwark stage Of the journey. One
of the "Oldest inhabitants" upon
reading Mr.. Prescott's letter observed
fhat the famous Willamette climate
seemed to be playing everyone shah
by trick at present and that Mr. Pres
colt would not feel like boosting his
sain country il he were here at pre-
sent.
MIR. Prescott describes his present
location as follows: "Atascadero is one
OF the few spots Of the state of CAL
ff0rnia that can claim any natural
beauty to be compared with that OF
Oregon. The Siskiyous are only a con-
tinuation of Oregon's grandeur, but
after leaving them, there is nothing
left but interminable leagues of flat,
brown, monotony, broken by rolling
hills that resemble sand dunes. In the
whole country there is nothing green
but an occasional live oak or a euca-
lyptus.
