TARIFF REPORT
UP IN HOUSE

With administration leaders in
control and determined to uphold
the high rates of the billion dol
lar" HaWley-Smoot bill, the House
today began debate on the report
Of the Senate-House Conference
Committees. Leaders announced
they would complete their work
in three days and have the bill
out of the way by Saturday
night.
Some Concessions
Although yielding in some in
stances to the lower rates written
by the Democratic-InSurgent Re-
publican coalition of the Senate.
the House leaders were standing
firmly behind the bill as whole.
A Democratic opposition, de-
moralized by the absence OF Rep
resentative Garner of Texas,
minority leader, who is i'll, was
scheduled for rough treatment at
the hands of the overwhelming
Republican majority.
Defeat of the export debenture
plan of farm relief, rejection OF
the Senate flexible provisions,
curtailing the Presidents tariff
powers; and compromise on the
outstanding rates in disagreement
was indicated.
Only four hours Of debate were
allowed by Ho'>-a leaders, VINO
called the body into session an
hour early to speed action.
Program Announced
Their program was, first, adop-
ton of the conference report as
a whole, embracing most of the
bill, then taking up OF a few
outstanding items on which they
agreed to permit separate votes.
Separate votes will be taken in
order on cement, silver, lumber,
shingles. sugar, the debenture
and flexible provisions. \
Democrats generally will sup
port the lowest rates possible
Representative Collier OF Mlssls-
sippi, acting for Garner, said. He
expressed hope" the debenture
plan would win, but refused any
prediction.

GYPSUM TARIFF
INCREASE FAILS
Proposal to Levy rs Cents
Per Ton Gains But 8
Votes in Senate.
BY the Associated press

BY the Associated Press.
A proposal to levy tariff of rs
cents a ton on crude gypsum, used in
the manufacture of plaster wall board
and fertilizers, gained only nine votes
in the Senate yesterday and pvnsum
was LETT on the free list, where it has
been since 1922.
Inc Senate also eliminated a pre-
viously approved increase in duty ON
calcined and ground gypsum, approving
Dy AZ 10 IL motion by Senator Walsh
democrat, Of Massachusetts,. to retain
the present levy at $l.4O ton. A
ilnance committee amendment raising
this TO So was adopted several months
ago.
Senator Copeland, Democrat. OF New
York, endeavored to obtain protection
on crude gypsum, first proposing a
rate OF 81 a ton, then accepting a cut
10 20 cents as suggested by Senator
Barley, Democrat, of Kentucky.
Settlement of the gypsum contest
paved the way for the Senate to take
up tomorrow the section in the cheni-
cal schedule providing for the basine
OF dyestuf tariff on American instead
of foreign valuation.
This formula, under which the
American dye industry would be given
much higher protection than if foreign
valuations were used will be assailed
by Senator La Toilette, Republican. of
Wisconsin, who will seek elimination
OF American valuation.

is founded on the doctrine of the SOW
ereignty of the people, These princi-
Piles, the pride of America, which sane
tify the ballot because of the precious
blood and treasure by which they were
secured, are but Utopian declarations so
far as the lives of the residents of
the District of Columbia are con-
cerned. Is it not a shameful injus-
tice, worthy of the interest and con-
| Germ of any man, that more than $50
years later we find that over a half
million loyal and patriotic Americans
are relegated to the status of po-
litical serfs-are citizens in name, but
subjects in fact, of the American Gov
eminent? This, too, when every other
civilized nation grants the full privileges
of citizenship to the residents of its
capital city?
What can be cleaned from the
records to show the intention of the
forefathers with reference to this stu
alton? An examination plainly demon
startes that no intention was ever mani
tested by the founders to leave such a
great body of American citizens I'M
represented in their Governments coun-
ellis. Art. I, sec. g. of the Constitution
provided that Congress might acquire
district not exceeding 10 miles square
by ceSSion of particular States, over
which 1t was to have complete legisla-
tive jurisdiction. This was to prevent a
conflicting sovereignty at the seat Of
Government. Under that power it
might have been a district of one mile
square, and this problem would never
have been born. Further, Senators
were chosen as ambassadors of the
States. Under such an arrangement no
machinery could have been provided for
representation. Today Senators are di-
rectly elected by the people, and the
people of this District are as competent
TO elect one as the citizens of any State
in this Union. Why, it was not until
1870 that We had population equal to
that of congressional district and as
there has never been such thing as
fractional representation, no efforts
were made to provide for it. Today the
population exceeds half million and
less than one-eighth of the population
is attached to the Federal Government.
Nothing more truly demonstrates that
our plight was never contemplated by
the founders than their omission of any
provision to entitle the residents of the
District of Columbia to sue in the Fed
eral courts as other American citizens.

But do not have to answer such a
Superficial argument. Edmund Burke
In his speech on Cancellation answered
that sort of contention 1865 years ago
Here is what he told the British Par
lament in reply to those who said the
coloniSts had voluntarily left England
and were therefore not entitled to the
privileges of Englishmen:
II were sure the colonists had at
their leaving signed a compact of Servi-
tude, yet l should hold myself to con-
FORM 10 the temper of the day and gov
ern 100000 men on the principles of
freedom. I would says Burke, admit
the people into an interest in our con-
Stitution.'
Further, it has been observed that
II the people wish to vote they should
leave here and take up their residences
elsewhere. The inhumanity of this ar
gument is readily apparent. To ask a
man to leave the place of his birth, his
nome and his friends and take up life
anew in a strange community, to secure
rights that are the birthright of every
other American, Is the height of alb
Surdity.
MY fellow countrymen. if you intend
to continue this denial of freemen's
rights in the District of Columbia, ]

The trio pointed a pistol at Orville s..
Kennedy and took $50 from him.

Justice Gordon, in Criminal Division
], sent Ralph Galloway to the peni-
tertiary for six years for housebreak-
ing and larceny. There were two in
dictments against the prisoner, and
the court fixed the penalty at six years
in both cases, but permitted the SEN
fences to run concurrently.
He entered the warehouse of Harry
Kaufman, 1928 Seventh street, Septem-

Jury Reduced Crime.
John d. Four, colored was given IL
years in the penitentiary, following his
conviction of manslaughter in connec-

the colors and our percentage Of volun-
teerS to total enliStmentS was greater
than that of any State in the Union
excepting Rhode Island, Oregon, Wash
lngton, California and Maine, and one
third greater than the percentage of
the country as a whole. Why do the
people of Columbia want national rep
rSsentation? Because our sons have
pleo Tor our country on the neld OF
naCtle and will again freely give their

patriotism and love of our national In

Tilted on principles of simple justice to
participate in the councils OF the Gov

nave made the supreme sacrince on the

Cnat man lay down his life for
COIOred Objection False.
What are the objections to granting
tnls power? 1t is said that our per-
centage of colored population (about
20 per cent? would enable them to con-
sIoi the elections. Nothing could be
iutGner from the truth. The answer
- tnat the proposed amendment gives
congress the power to determine the
quaIlncationS of electors; that we have
q smaller percentage of Negro voters
tnan many cities and congressional dis
Crlcts IN this Nation. 1 have heard of
no movement to revoke the right of
national suffrage and take it from the
people residing in the cities Of Topeka,
hans,; Atlantic City, Baltimore and
other cities which have a percentage
oI colored voters approaching if not
equal to that which we have here.
Further, the figures show that the per-
centage OF Negro population is on the
decrease In the District of Columbia
IN IN 1o6O we had 10 per cent; then came
Ine ClVll War, and in 1870 we had 80
per cent; In 1880, 1876 per cent; in
1871, 81 per cent; in 1900, 81 per cent;
IN 1917, 28 per cent, and in 1920, Is
per cent. The tendency is downward
we are fast growing to a city of a
Hililon people. We are not an indus
trlai city, and it is reasonable to assume
that the percentage will continue to
decrease. Our alien population is neg
llglolei and let me say that the per-
centage OF illlteracy among our colored
population is less than one-half that
Tor the colored population of the
Nation.
Again it has been said that the peo-
pie of the District came here with
knowledge of the fact that they would
Sur1er the loss of their political free
dom. Such an un-American argument
Is hardly worthy of reply. Surely 1t
cannot be submitted against the 100000
natlVe-oorn residents of this District.

Marshall said:
So 1t is extraordinary that the courts

States in the Union, should be closed

Aliens Better Treated.
''Has any one the temerity to main
tain that the founders intended to dis
cr1minate in favor of aliens as against
our own citizens residing in the Ma
TONS Capital? No. They were primar-
lily interested in securing seat for the
National Government. They knew that
future statemen could solve the prob
lens Of government that might later
arise. The proposed Constitutional
amendment will also remove this dis
elimination.
This whole matter is disposed of by
Representative Summers of the House
judiciary committee when he says:
Regardless of what was in the
minds of the founders, all they could
do was to meet the problems of their
time upon the responsibilities of their
judgment, and that is the responsible
ity which confronts this committee

find that a body of loyal American citi-

the political rights of free men. Yet
