Many Senate Amendments
Provided for the District
Are Approved by House

The conference agreement on the
District appropriation bill as approved
by the House yesterday provides for
a change of the basic salary of school
teachers so that the lowest paid for
entrance into the school system is
$3.50. which plus the $240 bonus would
be s1,l00 as the lowest salary. At the
same time the appropriation of $4,000
is made for conducting community
forums and civic centers instead of
the 100000 as proposed by the House.
This is modified so, as to limit the eX-
penditures of payment of secretaries
teachers, organizers and clerks to not
more than 90 per cent of the appro-
priation.
The conference agreement as re-
lating to the public schools inserts
the paragraph, proposed by the SEN
ate, preserving the status of an en-
ploye heretofore transferred to the
position of assistant principal of the
Central High School; fixes the com

Wants Representation First.

In urging upon the House that the
fiscal system should not he changed
until District residents are given rep
resentation in Congress. Representa-
tive johnson of Washington said:
Il had the privilege of residence in
the city of Washington more than
twenty-five years ago. The half-and-
half proposition was an ISSUE then
as it is now 1t has been up here
at regular intervals ever since l have
had the honor of a seat in this House.
I have long felt that Congress should
not take away the half-and-half
principle until we are prepared to
give the people in this District rep
resentation in the House and in the
Senate ] think this complaint Will
continue indefinitely. until the actual
residents of the District of Columbia
have representation. No matter how
beneficial a plan is offered to them,
they will be dissatisfied. Taxation
without representation is never pleas
ant.
In my opinion Congress should not
take away this plan which has eN-
listed. or determine on any other plan.
until we have given the citizens OF
the District the right to vote and
have given them representation IN
Congress"

No County and State Tax.

Representative Sisson argued that the
District taxpayers have an advantage
in not having 10 pay county and state
tax. He said
There is net a city of 100000 people
or over in the United States where the
rate of taxation is not more than dou-
bic what it is in the District of Column
bia. Now, there are some OF the smaller
cities where, when you confinc their tax
roll simply to the city tax-and that is
the comparison that the friends of the
half-andhalf would make-it is only a
little larger than the rate paid in the
District of Columbia. But, mark you,
those towns have to pay a county tax
and a state tax on their city property.
But that tax which those cities pay to
maintain the county and to maintain
the state is all merged into this one tax
act in the District of Columbia"

Says Tax Rate Is Average One.

Representative Campbell stated that
the residents of the District pay in
taxes on an average about the same rate
that is paid in like cities throughout
the country. He described the funda-
mental law saying:
Now it is proposed to change this
charter of the city Of Washington by a
rider on an appropriation bill. 1t has not
received the consideration of a COM
mittee authorized to consider legiSla ton
touching the welfare of 10000 people,
ut in the hurried and feveTed conditions
OF an appropriation committee room
conclusion is reached that it is not the
just way to apportion taxes in the city
of Washington and it is proposed to do
away with the half-and-half system as
provided for in their constitution and to
change all that by a rider on an appro-
priatiOn bill.
Il say that this principle is provided
for in what is Washington'S charter
or constitution. The Supreme Court
has used just that language with re-
spect to It. and | do not believe that
members of the House, who within
the last six years have grown tired
of Legislation by riders, are ready to
change the fundamental law of the
capital of the nation by rider on the
District of Columbia appropriation
bill.
IF this fundamental law is not the

Friends of D. c. Put Up Fight.

Friends of the District opposed
stubborniy the attempts to impose all
the costs of District government upon
the property owners in Washington,
with the federal government paying
only such portion as the District taxes
might be insufficient to- meet. Chair
man Campbell of the rules commit
tee argued that it was unfair to abol-
ish the half-and- half principle by a
rider on the appropriation bill. For
mer Speaker Cannon also opposed
making any such change in law
through a rider. Representative John
son of Washington said no such
change should be made until the resi-
dents of the National Capital have
a voice in Congress-

the bill from becoming law by the

this bill from becoming law by in
sisting on the House provision. but
you cannot abolish the half-and half
On the other hand, l am privileged
to state that in the presence of the
chairman of the Senate committee on
District legislation tSenator Sher-
mani we We're assured that if a bill
came from the House to the Senate
abolishing the halfand half. it would
have due consideration in the Senate
committee.
Il do not understand that to mean
that the committee agrees to report it
favorably or that it Will be passed by
the Senate. but | believe it to be a
sincere statement that the bill will
have the fair consideration of that
committee. | am satisfied to let our
House District committee have an OPP
portunity to take up this question as
a purely Legislative matter and bring
it before this House for our action
and then send 1t to the Senate. and
then. if that method does not secure
results. there will be other District
OF Columbia appropriation bills"
