ST. LOUIS AND KANSAS
CITY PUT IN BIDS FOR
NATIONAL CONVENTION

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 10.-Counting on
promises Of national committeeman
that the democrats would not consid-
er the same city republicans selected
for their national convention. Missouri
today was confident of the majority
support of the democratic national
committee at its session in Washing
ton.
With financial pledges amounting
to $4,000 to cover expenses of the
convention, Missouri delegations were
to press their claims that st. Louis or
Kansas City are centrally locates and
nave every necessity for the gathering.
Missouri's leaning toward the
doubtful column also will influence
committeeman. Missouri democrats
| elieved. With the democratic ma
tlonal convention in Missouri many
votes will be swung to that ticket. they
assert. st. Louis will also point out
that the national convention nominat-
ing Woodrow Wilson for reelection
was held here.

What the Committee Found.
The joint select committee Of Con-
eress in 1915. after an exhaustive IN :
Guiry. found that they We're paying
adequate and reasonable local taxes
as compared with the people Of other
cities. The United States census tsta-
tistics of cities of 1879 bulletin
shows that they are paying more
taxes than the people in the majority
of cities having over 100000 popn-
lation and taxes at least equal 10
those in cities comparable to Wash
ington. The national government has
constantly increased its holdings OF
real estate in the District of Column :
bia and must continue TO do so. thus
Withdrawing from the taxable re-
sources, and the area of the District

THE neels of the National Capital
call f. the appropriations con-
templated by the half-and-half syS-

District of Columbia should be per
mitte-l to fully state those needs to
Congress by repeating the limitation
of March. 1909. preventing them from
submitting estimates for more than
twice the anticipated revenues of the
District of Columbia. This and the
other provisions of the Jones amend
ment proposed as a substitute for the
rider on the appropriation bill. and
which provide for utilizing the uneX-
pended District revenues of one year
for the benefit of the District for
future years and for advances to the
District in any years when Congress
wishes to appropriate more than
twice the Districts revenues. such
advances to be repaid from future

improve the actual operation of the

al non-industrial, non-commercial
city cannot bear the whole burden
of National Capital maintenance and
development. The uniform and steady
progress which ought to be from year
to year to make the National Capital
as nearly perfect as possible in &C
cordance with the desire of all patri-
otto Americans is impossible without
continuance Of the half-and half
plan, or the substitution of an equally
