According to indication today
business has reached an apex never

however, due to falling temperature
interest of purchasers has been
aroused to such an extent that
many of the larger department

Simmons is an out and out sup
porter of the lump sum arrange
ment, which has been the basis of
fiscal relations between the two
governments since 1924. He has.
in the past, even advocated reduc-
ing the Federal Governments con-
tribution from $4,000, 900 to $s,0O0.-
600.
AS chairman of the District sub
committee on appropriations, Sim
mons holds the key position in
the fight to be waged by the Dis
trict Commissioners this session for
a revision of fiscal relations.
Advises Taxpayers
The Nebraska Representative be-
lieves that If District taxpayers
want to reduce their tax burden
they should pay some attention to
where their money is going, rather
than seek further help from the
Federal Government.
He contends, for instance, that
the District should charge tuition
from residents Of Maryland and
Virginia whose children attend local
schools. District taxpayers, he
says, are paying to educate 5000
Maryland and Virginia children.
Simmons also argues that the
100000 lump sum contribution
actually amounts to Federal share
OF $11 600 900 in the local expenses
He supports this argument in three
ways:
First. that in abandoning the e0-4G
t ratio of expenses the Federal Gov
ernment also relinquished the right
to about 81 600, ZOO in annual revenues
from miscellaneous tax collections
which were divided under the 60-4C
arrangement.
Second. that the Federal Govern
ment is paying the salaries and e.
! penses Of between 20 and Is Army
officers who are detailed to District

Third, that the District govern.

ings for 81 of which it pays no rent
or virtually none.
Preparing For Fight g.:
Representative Simmons is prepar,
ing himself for the fight to be waged
before his committee for a revision
of the fiscal relations, by making
a thorough study of the situation.
When the figl: comes he will be
armed with mass of details and
figures to combat the arguments of
the District Commissioners.
Ii the city headss complain of the
local tax burden he will present
them with figures from other cities
tending to show the contrary. II
they try to argue on the basis OF
the comparative total assessments of
Federal and private property he will

property here would be assessed at
$47O.000,000 as against a total as.
sessment Of about 81 1900, ,0oO, 600 for
private property.
The Nebraskan considers the
argument used by the commissioners
in their annual report that the
Federal Government should contri.
butte more because Washington. an
the Nations Capital, must build its
schools and streets on a grander
scale than other cities, one of the
worst fallaciies in the whole case.
He contends that other cities are
paying just as much. as Washington
for these things.
