FOR D. c. TAXPAYER
IN LUMP P-SUM PLAN
Abolition of .6O-4O Ratio In
creases Task of Creating
Surplus Fund.
CITY REQUIRED TO PAY
CASH FOR CASH IN 1927
Policy Means Setting Aside $780,
600 or More Yearly to Prevent
Drawing on q. S.

II Congress adheres to the new
policy 1t adopted for this year OF
appropriating lump sum of $1,000
900 instead Of having the Federal
Government pay 40 per cent OF the
cost Of maintaining the National
Capital, District taxpayers not only
Will pay a larger part OF the ex-
penses each year, but will have to
raise greater surplus in order to
get on a cash basis by 1927.
This added burden on local prop-
erty owners. If the lump sum scheme
Is continued during the next few
years, was brought to light at the
District building today.
In 1922 Congress decreed that the
District should raise in five years a
surplus sufficient to enable the city
to begin after 1927 paying eacn
month its share OF the money ex-
pended during the month.
Collections Made Late.
Expenditures for the fiscal year be-
gin on July !. but prior to 1922 the
city did not collect the taxes which
make up its share OF appropriations
until the month Of May. which was
near the end Of the fiscal year.
This meant that from July until
May, nearly all of the money spent
under appropriations came from the
Federal Treasury. The city reiu-
bursed the Treasury for its share of
the outlay, when taxes were paid in
May. but Congress wanted to avoid
these advances by putting the Dis
trict on a cash-going basis.
The hrst step toward that end was
the law requiring that half of the
years taxes be paid in November.
Maj. Daniel J. Donovan then esti-
mated that with this requirement in
effect, the District could get on a
cash basis by raising $4,000, 900 sur
plus by 1927.
He began. therefore, In the fiscal
year 1898 to raise 100000 year
over and xboyg-EurY1nf expenses to
produce the Ss.ooe,eeo by 1897.
When he hxed the esauifs6 surplus
at $3,ooo.oo however, the Annual ap-
preparation bill for the District was
amounting to about $22,ooo,ooo q year
and Congress was paying 20 per cent
of that total
This year Congress increased the
appropriation bill to more than $685.
o00.o 900, and required the federal gov
errment to pay a lump sum of $s.ooo.-
600. which Is more than $1.00o.ooo
less than 40 per cent OF appropria-
tions.
They Have to Pay More.
Discussing the situation today
Mai Donovan said that IL during the
next two fiscal years Congress grants
similarly large appropriations and
retains the lump sum principle the
taxpayers will have to pay consid-
erably more than 100000 a year to-
ward the cash surplus.
The auditor has not figured out
Just how much more than 100000
would be needed. but he ventured q
guess that 1t would probably re-
quire more than million dollars ad-.
ditional.
The Commissioners are preparing
their estimates for next year with
the intention Of appealing to Con-
gress to restore the 60-40 ratio, in
dicating that they ara still hopeful
Of having Congress return to the
percentage basis of approprtating for
the city.

LITTLE INTEREST IN
LEGISLATIVE RACES
Entries TO Close August %, But
No Candidates Are Yet Being
Talked About

Little interest is being manifest
ed here in the election TO be held
September 10 for representatives IN
the lower house Of the general as
sembly and other offices. The
county executive committee has just
fixed August % as the date upon
which entries for these offices wall
close, and Notwithstanding this no
names have as yet been prominent
ly mentioned in connection with the
place.
Some hesitancy is being displayed
by possible candidates, it is learned,
until after Messrs Hines and Riley,
Sumter's present representatives
have given a definite expression OF
their attitude toward again making
the race. These gentlemen have
both served splendidly during two
terms, securing much beneficial leg
islation for the county and state
dL-ldIBC3 anu tllNIG al = q ltAi Sc AA~at'A-
Der of voters who here would like
to have them continue in office. 1t
is reported, however, that at least
one Of these gentlemen has stated
emphatically that he will again he a
candidate.
Senator Pace, whose term in the
senate expires with the assembling
of the next legislature, is eandl-
date for solicitor general in the
September 10 primary, and the dis
trict senatorship will not be filled
by Sumter county under the rota-
ton plan. This office, therefore,
will not be voted upon in the pri-
mary here, but two representatives
must be selected, and the time is
short in which candidates who ex.
pect to make the race may qualify.
