| sociations have seen an opportunity

Use Council as Outlet.
| In Washington the citizens who lack

right of selfexpression in the gov
eminent of their own affairs. They
have Joined citizens associations to
obtain a voice on the council. There
are now $4,000 members paying dues.
As the council continues, its friends
argue, so will the citizens associa.

and further will be their progress to-
ward Kidding themselves of the stigma

| that of affording the few takers" of
| the community chance to crate on
| their unimportant opinions.
In addition, there is no gainsaying
| the fact that the Citizens Council has
obtained prestige in Congress through
| it's own endeavors. Committees OF
| Congress have come to consider it's re
ports on legislation seriously, because

| doubt But at the same time the
councilmen have worked hard Where
as some reports on legislation from

some extent cryptic and categorical,
those from the Citizens Council
showed the result of painstaking in
vestigation. And Congress has re.
ceived, In some measure at least, what

citizens of Washington.
Increased Power Alarms Some.
There is an opposing view of the
matter, however, by those who are
somewhat alarmed at the councils in.
| creased power. In the first place, they
maintain that the declarations of Citi.
zens' Associations occupy a position
among the citizens comparable to that
occupied by the trade associations
among the business men. While the
declarations may represent, theoreti-
cally at least, the interests of the
large number Of small property own
ers, the Board of Trade and the Cham.

and the Real Estate board still an.
other.
AS the declarations act as clearing
houses for the opinions of the citi
zens' associations, so the various ex.
ecutive committees and governing
boards act as the clearing houses for
opinions of the business organizations.
In attempting to speak for the city,
the Advisory Council in reality speaks
for a limited number of interests,
That these interests are opposed at
times to others equally entitled to
consideration is granted. But the
business men believe that it is the
duty of the Board of Commissioners
to sift the various views and to pre-
sent to Congress the one which, in
their opinion, is to the best interest of
Washington.
Say Council Is Usurper.
In dealing with the committees of
Congress, the business men believe
that the Advisory Council has usurped
a duty which should rest solely with
the Commissioners, as far as formal
reports on legislation are concerned.
Obtaining conflicting opinions about
what Washington needs serves only to
add ammunition to the oft-repeated
charge made by Congressman that
| "We1l give you what you want il
we can find out what it is"
Those who criticize the council agree
that there is nothing TO be deplored
i'll the fact that the council might take
a view on legislation opposite to that
held by some other body--the Board
of Trade, for instance. But what Is
considered Objectionable is that the
council delivers report ostensibly as
representing the views of the citizens
of Washington. when the fact OF the
matter is that many of the citizens
whose interests are most vitality to be
affected are not represented on the
council at ALL If Congress wants a
report from the District, it is asserted
the report should come from the Com.
missioners alone; and If further in.
formation is desired, Congress should
in turn ask the two declarations, the
Board of Trade, the Chamber of Com
merce, the Merchants and Manufac
turers and the many other such or
carnations for their assistance.
Critics Opinions Differ.
Even among those who are united
in criticizing the council, there exists
sharp difference of opinion about
whether the council should be reor.
ganized and made a clearing house
for all of Washington's organizations.
On the one hand there is the belief
that a new council should be formed
composed of an equitable number OF
representatives from all the interests
concerned in District legislation. An.
other view Is that the Advisory Coun-

GOVERNOR TAKES
ASSEMBLY TO TASK
Wisconsin House Refuses TO
Hear Message Accusing
1t of Laxity.
BY the Associated Press.


MADISON, Wis, April 15.-Gov.
Fred r. Zimmerman, who won his
position on an independent ticket, is
at odds with the State Assembly.
The governor sent a special message
to the legislative body yesterday TAX
ing it to task for 'laxity,' and the
lower house abruptly adjourned, con-
tending it had been insulted.
Supporters of the governor today
were circulating petition describing
the refusal of the Assembly to hear
the message as a Shameful incident
and proposing that the communication
be spread on the lower house journal
as a protest against the "discourteous
and disorderly procedure marking
the adjournment.
you have been here 80 days, said
the governors message. You have
had your investigation, your strike
and vacation. and / hope you are
now ready to give your attention to
needed legislation. The governor
said the Legislatures of several States
already had adjourned. and added that
a minority in the Wisconsin Legisla-
ture SIS interested only in political
nlaneuvers, which it is hoped may dis
credit the administration.
Gov. Zimmerman, follower Of the
elder La Toilette, broke with the
younger and won the gubernatorial
race against the Blaine-La Toilette
faction.

posted. However, Mrs. Rebekah Great
house. Assistant United States Attor-

Voice Individual Opinions.

There are members of the Board of
Trade, for instance, who are active
in the citizens association movement,
but they voice their opinions in ctti-
zens meetings as individuals and not
as members of the Board of Trade.
Vice versa, there are members of the
citizens associations who are active
as Board of Trade members, but they
express their opinions at Board of
Trade meetings only as individuals
and they do not speak for the citi-
| Zens' associations. There is q real
need, else they would never have been
| formed, of the majority of the organ
izations in Washington. Each fills a
niche of it's own in the life of the city.
Those who oppose the Citizens Adj
visory Council have delayed in bring
ing the matter to head until the new
Board Of Commissioners is in office.
But the District Commissioners even
| tually must decide a controversy
which, if allowed to continue, will not
be for the best interests of the city.

Gil as such should be abolished en-

should display a greater interest in
and attach more importance to secur-
ing the views of the declarations and
the different organizations of business
men.
One interesting fact, of which bust
ness men who have expressed them
selves are not unmindful, is that every
person in the District has the right
and privilege of affiliating himself ac-
lively with a citizens association, and
thus obtaining voice on the council.
But this, it is argued, is beside the
