A Surplus or Q Debit

Ine D1otrlcS welcomes an inquiry
into the question OF the surplus Of its
tax revenues accumulated In the
Treasury during several years OF In
adequate appropriation for municipal
maintenance. This Is proposed in q
resolution that was introduced in the
Senate yesterday by Senator Jones OF
Washington. providing for q joint
commission OF three members OF each
house. In the resolution for an In.
vestigation it is stated that "the use
OF this money by or on behalf OF the
District IN denied. for the reason,
with others, that advancemsnts have
been made without interest from time
to time during the last nifty years by
the national government for the bene.
ut Of the District, and that revenues
which in equity belong to the United
States have gone to the credit Of the
District"
This is the first time that any
formal excuse has been vouchsafed
for refusing the District the use Of its
own tax money collected under an act
which provides for an equal contra.
button to the amount Of such revenues
by the United States for District main.
tenance. It would seem from the
statement of the resolution that in the
Judgment Of some the District, In.
stead Of being creditor to the extent Of
about $4,000. 900. il "in equity indebted
to the United States" Assuredly this
matter should be definitely cleared.
From time to time for several years
debts have been dug out Of the Treas
ury records. against the District and
collected from the District by appro-
priative force. 1t was thought that all
these things had been cleared up.
though against some Of them, indeed
all, In fact. there was strong equita-
BILE offset and ground Of denial which
the District was never given chance
to present. Perhaps these matters
might be brought within the scope Of
the proposed joint commission to de.
termine whether the District has been
wrongfully mulcted in these arbi.
trarily collected sums.
It il high time that these accounts
should be settled once and for all. 1t
is highly desirable that the surplus
should be. recognized as District as.
set and used for District needs. II
the United States, through Congress
feels that 1t Is in jeopardy Of loss
through the financing Of its District
ward by the failure Of District reve-
nues for the current fiscal year and
should have a guaranteed sinking
fund, this surplus Of $5.ooo.ooo Of ur-
used District money win 30 far to

lieve the increase Of taxation which is
