A. Hodgson, a most conscientious
man. an able man. He had been with
the Treasury Department here from
almost time immemorial, and / VEN
ture to say that he knows more today
about the fiscal affairs between the
United States and the District of Co
lumbia than any living man"
Chairman Madden of the House ap
propriations committee in discussing
the entire subject of fiscal relations
between the Government and the Dis
trict and the appropriations TO be
made for the National Capital said:
The commission which. acted and
recommended n credit of $4,43S,00
for the District was composed of
men who went thoroughly into the
question. 1t is true they did not go
back to the year which they were
directed to go back to, and accepted
the reports from previous audits be
tween the period of 1878 and 1911.
II think it is fair to assume that
the Government itself owed the Dis
trict, and that the District ought to
receive credit for what the Govern
ment owes. I think the time has
come when the question should be
settled.
simply Credit on Books.
This is not an appropriation. IT
is simply "a credit on the books of
the Treasury to the credit of the
District of Columbia Later on, how
ever, there would have to be an ap-
preparation, and the question then
would arise whether we would ap-
propriate $4,438.00O, or whether we
would appropriate on the $3.50 basis,
which would be about S8,S600O0
year. or whether we would appro-
pirate on a basis of 60-40, the Gov
erument paying 40 per cent and the
District 90 per cent, or whether we
would continue to appropriate on the
iump-sum basis, which is now in ex-
istence, and which was adopted by
the last session of Congress.
The fact that the lump-sum basis
was then adopted has been taken as a
mandate by the committee on appro-
priations, which will report. when the
District appropriation bill is reported
into the House, on the lump-sum basis.
The argument in favor of lump-sum
basis has been that as the city of Wash
ington grows. and the expenses grow
with its growth. there ought to he d
limit beyond which Federal contribu-
tions should not go, on the ground that
the District ought to be permitted TO
tax itself as much as it likes for its
own improvements, and that IL ought
to have as free a hand as may be with
out extravagant waste: for I still think
that we, who are responsible here, ought
to hold a restraining hand over ex-
travagant waste. even of money collect
ed from the taxes paid by the people
of the District, regardless of whether
the Federal Government makes any
or not.

very clear duty to perform. We ought
