himself opposed to joint commission
OF the House and Senate reviewing the
work OF the Joint commission on the

declaring that in the conclusions che

only one House Representative was
present.

ing the campaign and would not be
back In Washington t. make this study
until the first of the year. concluding
that the work would be done by agents
and by citizens and that the report
would reach the HOUSE after the appro-
priation measure he'd been reported
The responsibility to determine what
the fiscal relations shall be between
Congress and the District is primarily
ours" Mr.. Simmons declared.
Asks Fair Study.
Chairman Beers repeatedly stated his
opinion that in fairness to the tax
payers of the District, an effort should

should be represented In the commits
sion making the study.
Mfr. Simmons expressed the convic-
ton that the resolution does not call
for finding facts which are already
available, but for ascertaining per-
centaee Of fiscal relations. which could
be used as club over the legislative
and appropriations committees of the
House and Senate.
BY no means ought We to create
q supercommittee to dictate to Con-
gress what ought to be done" Mr.. SIM
mons said.
Representative Bowman Of West Viz
einia. asked Mr.. Simmons IL he thought
the determination should be left en-
tirely to the appropriations committee,
calling attention that the law now
provides for q 60-40 proportion, while
the appropriations committee has legis-
lated the Mnp-sum policy into the APP
preparations bill.
why not have a study to determine
Just what is fair?" Mr.. Bowman asked.
Mr.. Simmons argued that the matter
has to be studied each year on the
basis of conditions that actually exist
and expressed the opinion that $9,000.-
900 is now more than the Federal Gov
eminent should pay. but that to reduce
the amount might have had deter
rent effect upon Capital development.
and was allowed to stand because ne
believed Congress wants TO De generous
toward the District. He insisted that
neither the legislative committee nor
the appropriation committee have as
sumed the attitude of denying hear
ing to any persons desiring to state
their views in regard to fiscal relations.
so that he sees no Justification for the
appointment of a new joint commis-
sion.
Raps Fixed Proportion.
He expressed himself as vigorously OPP
posed TO the principle of fixed pro-
portion. stating that II 1t is under
stood that the lump sum is the limit
the Federal Government will pay. Dis
trict authorities will be more careful in
asking for large appropriations.
Members of the committee asked Mr..
Simmons II there was any better tusti-
fication for the lump sum than for the.
fixed-appropriation policy. Mr., Sim
mons objected TO the provision In the
Zihlman resolution calling upon the
commission to make its recommended
tons on q percentage system.
Mr.. Stengle asked Mr. Simmons II
he would accept the Zihlman resolution
II the committee would eliminate this
provision, and simply require the COM
mission to report facts and figures Mr..
Simmons replied mo, because agencies
that are unbiased are now getting these
facts and figures" and stated that the
Bureau Of Eficiency, at the request OF
the Budget Bureau, is now engaged on
such a study. Mr.. Stengle said that
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1928-03-22

not create a commission to report facts
to Congress, but asks the commission
to report an opinion.
Asked by MIR. Beers, do you object
to q study" Mr.. Cramton replied,
'"I object to this bill I do not object
to any study Of fiscal relations made by
an individual or organization and these
facts coming to Congress after they
have been developed"
Mr.. Cramton expressed the opinion
that a report of facts In regard to rs
cal relations is entirely unnecessary be-
cause he believes Congress now has
more actual facts than any other or
ganization.
He insisted that Congress ought not
to be bound by the findings OF such a
commission. He characterized the
Zihlman measure as IAN abdication OF
the powers of Congress because 1t would
empower the proposed commission to

States"

In stating his opposition to District
representation on the commission, Mr..
Cramton said that the Commissioners

motion Of the 60-40 plan.
