Grant Capital a Voice.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, January 25.-The Ma
tional Council OF State Legislatures is
continuing its battle for the people of
Washington to gain enfranchisement
and voice in their government.
After q speech by George A. Kicker
at the annual meeting of the council
late yesterday, the council passed a
resolution reiterating its plea of two
years ago to Congress that the District
Of Columbia be enfranchised and be
represented in Congress by a Senator
and a Representative or Representa-
tives."
Mr.. Kicker, champion of the District,
is member of the executive committee
OF the District of Columbia citizens
joint committee on national representa-
ton. At present he is engaged in bust
ness in Chicago.
Tax Burden Ease Is Sought.
The resolution was passed after
one had been approved demanding
that the Federal Government ease the
burden Of the States In the Federal
Governments fifty-fifty agreement on
public improvements. AT present the
Federal Government matches dollar for
dollar State funds on certain improve
mentS, these improvements being chosen
by the Government. OF late these
projects, of interest more to the coun-
Try at large than the individual States.
have become burdens to the oveFtaxed
commemorative.
At the session 80 States were rep-
resented by legislators. Cows. Louis
L. Emerson of Illinois and Theodore
Christianson Of Minnesota also were
present. The gathering was presided
over by the picturesque Texan John II.
Kirby, who housed the Democratic ma
tional convention at Houston.
After brief review Of the fight for
enfranchisement made by the District
OF Columbia, whose residents he termed
as "semi-citizens of the United States. "
Mr. Kicker said:
These more than half-million Amer
leans of the District constitute the only
community in all the expanse of the
continental United States populace-in in
telligent, public-spirited, of adequate re-
sources. which is is denied representa-
ton In the National Government.
Brazilian Capital Is Cited.
A few years ago when the interpar-
llamentary union met IN Washington
its delegates were impressed by this
curious anomaly-that the country
calling itself the greatest democracy in
the world should. in its capital, be still
an absolute monarchy. Rio de Janeiro

of suffrage.
In relation to national laws, the
sole function of the District residents
is to obey. They take no part in max
