Oldest Inhabitants Asso-
citation Hears Rep. Bur-
roughs on D. C. Suffrage

Declaring that the District has Tar
more claim to Congressional rep
resentation than many Of the States
that are now represented. Represen-
tative Sherman z. Burroughs, Of
New Hampshire, pledged himself to
the Districts cause. at the fifty
nth annual dinner Of the Washing
ton Oldest Inhabitants Association.
At the Ebbitt. Tuesday, Represen-
tative Burroughs is the author OF
the bill providing for Congressional
representation Of the District, now
before Congress.
Tho District Of Columbia has
more Inhabitants. pays more taxes
to the Federal government, and is
greater in wealth, than many, Of the
States that are now represented in
Congress-" declared Representative
Burroughs, "and in view Of these
facts, there is no reason why II
should not be represented in the
law making body and also have q
voice in the election of the coun-
try's chief executive.
Unity Of Citizens Urged.
Henry B. F. Mcfarland, former
District Commissioner, asserted that
the people of the District should
stand united on their desire for rep
resentation in Congress and the
policy of a fixed Federal proportion
Of the District expenses.
Financial equity like political
equity Is blazoned on our stan
dards." said Theodore W. Noyes.
president Of the association, who
served as toastmaster. Increase of
present high taxation. or even the
borrowing Of money by bond issue,
is unnecessary and unjust until the
District tax surpluses have been
doubled under the law and have
been appropriated to District uses"
Col. Charles W. Kutz and ]. Thil-
man Hendrick, District Commits
sioners, briefly explained the work
OF the Commissioners on the Dis
trict appropriation LilI.
