Equal Rights With States.
Henry X Bush Brown, sculptor,
nominated by the Washington Chap
ter of the American Institute of Archi-
tects and by the Arts Club, said he
thought the residents of the District
of Columbia should have some kind
of opportunity to express ourselves in
a political way
While not having made up his mind
a to the details of the proposal he
would approve, Mr.. Bush Brown said:
1T would seem natural that we ought
to be permitted to vote for the Presl-
dent and members of the House and
Senate" D" 1t was equally important,
he thought, that WashinGtonians have
the vote that citizens of the States
have it.

Theoretically the people of the Dis

upon the welfare and development OF
the District, have very grave doubts
in my mind as to it's eXpediency and

sacrifice what may be considered in
herent rights as an American citizen
if that sacrifice is necessary to the
welfare of the District. | am not,
however, opposed to the proposed

Congress the power to grant suffrage.
that power.
IF the good people of the District
would put into the organized citizens
movement the energy now being de-
voted to the pursuit of the pot of
gold at the end of the rainbow. more
good would result TO the District and
more opportunity given for self-eX-
preston by citizens that could pos
sibly result from representation in
Congress.
The Citizens Advisory Council as
constituted by the action of the Fed
Grafton of Citizens Associations. a
really representative body, is just an
other instrumentality of organized
citizenship. If care is taken in it's

"On the matter of the city council,

Chase Citizens Association said:
II believe in national representation
for the District, with a vote in the
electoral college for President and
Vice President. The District should
have a delegate or two in the House
and the Senate with power to vote.
This would have a direct and great
influence toward getting District legis-
lation considered as well as calling
its attention to the people in the
States. l think this is the general
consensus of opinion of the average
disfranchised citizen of the National
Capital who has given careful study
to this question.

can be OF material service to the Com
nnissioners in preparing the estimates.

Mr.. Pullman expressed the opinion

Regarding the possibilities of city

the genuine effects of resolutions

day overruled the earlier decision
and held that the rights to the ad-
justed compensation can not be
sold. Reports have been reaching

Bureau has been asked to redeem
the papers Under today's 6ecl-
