that which has been revealed through

SENATOR CURTIS FAVORS
SEPARATE Commission
Declares D. C. Commissioners Have
TOO Much on Their
Shoulders"

That a separate and distinct Public
lshed in the District of Columbia is the
view of Senator Curtis of Kansas. chair
man Of the subcommittee on appropria-
tons. in charge of the District bill
The District Commissioners have too
much work on their shoulders" said
Senator Curtis. "They have to serve
not only as executive heads of the Dis
trict government, but also as the Public
Utilities Commission. 1 am in favor
of enacting a law separating the two
commissions.
Il can't see that anything has been
accomplished by the Public Utilities
Commission as now constituted. They
might as well have thrown the money
in the river which was paid to the
experts who came down here to inn
prove the street car situation. Any
body could have given advice as to
improving the service. 1t was SO bad
To Be Considered on Merits.
Senator Curtis said that any law
constituting a separate public utilities
commission should be considered on
it's merits. He said that it would be
mistake to attempt to enact such
legislation as a rider on the District
appropriation bill now pending, and
pointed out that if an attempt was
made to place new Legislation of this
kind on the appropriation bill it could
be stricken out on a point of order by
any senator.
Senator Sherman of Illinois. chair
man of the District committee. con-
cured in the view of Senator Curtis
that it would be unwise to attempt to
place the proposed legislation in the
District appropriation bill. He said
that he had not given the matter con-
sideration and therefore could not
express himself upon the merits of
the question.
Senator Curtis said today that he
would take up the District appropria-
ton bill in subcommittee tomorrow
morning.

TASK OF FRAMING
new ORGANIC ACT
Our State Constitution of
This Century to Be as Wise
and Fair as That of 1873.
NO REPEAL BY RIDER
THEODORE w. MOVES,

We are told occasionally that the
talf-and half law has outlived its use
fulness. This law is an integral vital
part of the organic act of 1873. 1t
sets forth the nations financial obli
cation and pledge in respect to the
capital. The organic act also defines
Counterbalancing obligations incurred
and sacrifices endured by the people
of the capital. If this particular pro-
vision has outlived its usefulness, the
whole organic act of which it is an
integral part has outlived it's useful
ness.
In other words. the Constitution. the
equitable in 1878. is not after the
lapse of more than forty years pre-
cisely adapted to the community and
the conditions of 1919.
If the District were state the
suggestion would not seem unreason-
able that the changes in conditions in
forty years of growth made new
or radically amended Constitution highly
desirable.
1t is, consequently, not unreasonable
to contend that the relations of nation
and capital. wisely established by the
act of 1878. have altered in fact as
the result of changes in the last forty
years, and that this alteration should
be reflected in suitable amendment of
the organic law.
Let us assume. then, that the Dis
trict's organic act of 1873 will wisely
be amended and brought up to date.
How shall this amendment be accom-
plished? How shall Congress proceed
in framing and enacting new system
of financial and political relations be-
tween nation and capital which shall
be as wise and equitable under the
conditions and environment of 1919 as
the organic act was in 1878?
Clearly this wholesome amendment
will not be accomplished through
mutilation of the organic act by cut
ting out and destroying any one of it's
interviewer and balanced provisions
through legislative rider attached to
the Dist riot ammonia ton bill

Guaranty Against overtaxation.

Through the organic act the nation
preme control of it's capital, and
recognized it's corresponding su-
preme obligation.
That it might exercise this supreme
control it took from the local COM
munity the privilege of solicitation
That it's own taxation of the District
might not be unjust or excessive, but,
as far as practicable, approximating
solicitation, the nation imposed
upon itself, as represented by Con-
gress, the half-and-half safeguard of
the organic act.
The half-and-half provision was
thus not only the definite expression
of affirmative beneficence by the ma
ton in meeting it's supreme financial
obligation in respect to the capital.
anty In protection of a community
from which 1t had just taken self
taxation against excessive and unjust
taxation by a body In which 1t was
not represented.
The organic act being opened up
is opened in all it's parts. If the
half-and- half provision is to be re-
pealed or radically changed, a definite
and carefully considered substitute
should be provided. not only by
enactments concerning the contribu-
lions of nation and capital re-
other equally effective safeguards for
that which the half-and-half pro-
vision supplies against excessive and
unjust taxation of the unrepresented.
If the new law merely repeats the
half-and-half provision, an now pro-
net is clearly lOpsided and in
equitable.

Defend Presidents Course.

IN defense of the Presidents course,
those who are in a position to speak
with knowledge of his dilemma in
Paris. disclosed today that Mr. Wilson
himself had nothing to conceal when
the decision was made to keep the
treaty temporarily from the public.
but that Great Britain and France had
insisted and Mr.. Wilson gave his as
sent Senator Hitchcock, democrat,
who mas been leading the admiuistra-
tons fight on the floor of the Senate,
revealed in his speech that England
and France did not want certain por-
tons of the treaty made public until
final agreement with the Germans
was reached.
The senator insisted that America
had no interest in those sections of
the treaty and no reason to want
them suppressed. but the President
had deferred as a matter of courtesy
to his colleagues, who had represent
ed to him that it was important for
them to follow such course Mr..
Hitchcock limited that lawleSsneSs and
DolshevlSm were at the bottom of the
apprehension, because radicals and
socialists were stirring up trouble for
the existing governments of Great
Britain and France. Inasmuch as
America has deep interest in keep

force and all Europe thrown into a
maelstrom of disorder, the President
felt it incumbent upon him to yield

Gist Of Resolution.

The last clause of the resolution
reads as follows:
1t shall be the declared policy of
our government. in order to meet
fully and fairly our obliga tions to
ourselves and to the world that the
freedom and peace of Europe being
gain threatened by any power or
combination of powers. the United
states will regard such a situation
with grave concern as a menace to its
own peace and freedom, will consult
with other powers affected with d
View to devising means for the re-
movai of such menace, and WILL the
necessity arising in the future, carry
out the same complete accord and CO.
operation with our chief co-belligerent
for the defense of civilization"
In another part of the resolution the
following language is found:
That this resolution indicates and
gives notice of the limit of the pres
ent obligations against the United
States in which the Senate of the
United States is now prepared to ac-
quiesce by conserving to the ratifica-
ton of the treaty embodying peace
conditions that may be found other
wise acceptable to it's Judgment and
that the adoption by the peace con-
ference of the foregoing linita ton
and position will facilitate the early
acceptance of the treaty OF peace by
the Senate of the United States will
in no wise interfere with the league
of nations as between those countries
prepared to ratify the treaty without
further consideration and will afford
such manifestation of real respect
for the wishes of great people as
cannot fail more firmly to cement the
friendship already existing between
ourselves and our o-belligerents."

Fear of Hun-RuSS Rival
League Suggests Allies
Admit Germany at Once

PARIS, June 8 (by the Associated
Press) THE movement to admit Ger
many to the league of nations is due
mainly to the desire to avoid the pos
sibility of the formation of another
group composed of rival powers which
would embrace Germany, Russia and
the old Teutonic group.
Evidences have reached the con-
ference leaders of late that influences
are at work in Germany and Russia
to establish relations as a basis for a
combination Of powers not in the
league. While not regarded as immi-
nent il was felt that the danger OF
such combination would always be
present while Germany was outside
the league. and the admission to Ger
many therefore was recommended as
a means of subjecting her to the same
obligations as the allies under the
league of nations.
This sentiment was chiefly instru-
mental in the unanimous decision OF
the British. French. American and
Italian members of the league com
mittee concerning the conditions on
which Germany may be admitted. One
of the chief authorities said today:
