idents, however, regarded the exer-
else of political rights by the people
Of the District as in any wise incom-
patible with the grant to Congress Of
exclusive jurisdiction in the District of
Columbia In his message to Con-
gress in 1881, President Jackson put
the matter in these terse words:
ut was doubtless wise in the franz
ers Of our Constitution to place the
people Of this district under the ju-
|, risdiction of the general government.
But to accomplish the object they had
in view it is not necessary that this
people should be deprived Of all the
privileges OF self-government."
And he put to Congress this signiff-
cant question:
us it not just to allow them at least
a delegate to Congress. If not local
legislature to make laws for the Dis
trict subject to the approval or re-
lection of Congress-"
No doubt 1t was this view OF the
matter which led at length to the es-
tablishment Of q territorial form pf
chosen by universal manhood suffrage
| and represented, as in the case of
other territories, by delegate in the
House Of Representatives.
There are. however, manifest difh-
culties in constituting body with
legislative powers for local purposes
and at the same time preserving pn-
impaired the general power OF !egisla-
ton in Congress itself: Whatever
pains may be taken to define and limit
the scope Of the inferior legislature,
the fact remains that there are two
sources Of law for the community. At
any moment the question may arise
whether a particular subject matter
falls within the scope Of the delegated
or Of the reserved authority.

Congress.
Under the power to admit new
states and to regulate territory be-
longing to the United States, Congress
now has the power to admit to repre-
sentation in Congress and the electoral
college the people Of all the territory
belonging to the United States except
The District constituting the seat of
government Of the United States
The constitutional provision giving
Congress the power of exclusive
legislation In the seat Of government
deprives Congress of the power to
representation in Congress and the
electoral college through the statehood
gate, since full statehood for the Dis
trict would destroy the exclusive
power Of legislation in the District
bestowed upon Congress by the Con-
Congress may not even delegate this
constitutional power; much less can
Congress destroy it or surrender 1t
completely. 49,.
The problem is to find a way to
give the people of the District the
titled as national Americans in Con-
gress and the electoral college. with
access to the federal courts. without
depriving Congress of the exclusive
legislative control of the District,
which the Constitution imposes upon
II and which. the courts say, 1t may
not surrender without specific con-
stitutional amendment.

Principles. :.
The pending resolution Is. J. Res.
1889 solves this problem by empower
ing Congress not to admit the Dis
Srict to statehood. which would de-
troy its power of exclusive legisla-
hon, but to grant to District residents

IRISH CONSIDER
STAMPS, MONEY
FOR FREE STATE

Dublin, Feb. 17.-Proposals for
a new Irish currency and Irish
postage stamps are being discussed
by the Free state authorities.
Banking circles here are said to
be strongly opposed to any alter
alton in the currency on the
ground that it will hamper trade
and cause complications by the es-
tablishment of yet another fluctu-
ating foreign exchange" but ma
tional sentiment may sweep these
objections aside. Some predict that
that before the end of the year
Irish printing presses will be turn
ing out Irish treasury notes.
Reckoning by pounds. shillings
and pence will doubtless continue
for some time, and English silver
and copper will continue to circu-
late; but it is anticipated that the
Free State will adopt the decimal
system of coinage as soon as prac-
ticable and that Irish dollars and
cents, or whatever their equivalent
Gaelic names may be, will ulti-
mately take the place Of the ster-
ling money.
AS for postage stamps. the pro-
posal is that ireland shall content
herself for the present with maxi
ing an arrangement with Great
Britain for printing surcharge
inscription, probably consisting of
a shamrock or harp, combined
with the word ERIN" in Irish
characters upon the face of the
stamps now in use.
Later on, the Free State will de-
sign its own stamps. and they are
not likely to bear the English
kings image.

ACCEPTANCE OF FORD Offer TO
LEASE MUSCLE SHOALS HANDICAP
TO DEvELO OPING POWER IN SOUTH
Government Consulting Engineer Takes
Whack at Ford Project; Claims 1t Would
Cost Government Billion Dollars in 100
Year Period if Contract Was Accepted
tBY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS,

Shoals under the Ford offer, Mr..
Cooper asserted. would be possible
at approximately half the same
costs as at Niagara Falls and at the
Keokuk dam across the Mississippi
and at less than half the rate cost
for the same class of energy de-
ve!oped In the commercial power
territory within reach of Muscle
Shoals.
While the witness said he real
ized that the people of the south
were "crying for the consummation
of the Ford offer" he firmly be-
lieved they would be crying for it's
abrogation before the lease period
expired. He declared that the be-
perience on water power develop
ment in the past thirty years in
Guiding that at Niagara Falls. The
power had been used for chemical
purposes there. he said not unlike
the plan he understood Mr.. Ford
had for Muscle Shoals, and yet the
city of Buffalo. about twenty-three
miles away. had been compelled TO
build steam power plant in order
to serve its needs.
Mr.. Cooper was called by Chair
man Kahn TO the witness stand
after Theodore Swami. president OF
the Federal Phosphorus company
at Birmingham. Ala. had explain
ed the possibilities for extensive
chemical operations, including the
manufacture of cheap fertilizer at
Muscle Shoals. The latter told the
committee that his company had
definitely assured the success of
Muscle Shoals operations by apply
ing satisfactorily certain new pro-
cesses In the Birmingham plant
which could be duplicated upon a
greater scale at Muscle Shoals.
j. w. Worthington. representing
the Tennessee River Improvement
association. concluded his state
ment in support of the Ford offer
at the forenoon session. He urged
acceptance OF Mr.. Ford's plan.
The committee adjourned late
today until Monday, but members
of the house and senate tonight at
tended motion picture exhibition
in the house office building where
the construction and development
of the Muscle Shoals projects were
shown.
