The District appropriation bill for the
1881 fiscal year as passed by the House
continues the 100000 lump sum as
the Federal share of the Districts ex-
penSeS. The Senate, however, increased
the contribution to $12,000,000 The bill
will soon 90 to a House and Senate con-
ference, where the fate Of the lump sum
contribution in the 1881 bill will be DELI
nitely determined.
The text of the petition follows:
Petition to Congress by the Citizens
Joint Committee on Fiscal Relations
Between the United States and the
District of Columbia urging a return
in appropriation practice to the sixty
forty definite prOportiOnate cOntribu-
ton plan provided by the substantive
law Of 1922, and urging further that
while the lump-sum payment plan OF
National contribution toward Capital
upbuilding continues az the annual
exceptional appropriation practice the
amount Of this lump payment shall be
largely increased.
To the Congress OF the United States:
Your petitioners, the Citizens Joint
Committee on Fiscal Relations Between
the United States and the District Of
Columbia and the presidents and other
representatives of its constituent and
cooperating organiZa tons, whose names
are subscribed below, respectfully rep
resent:
The platform of principles laid down
by the joint committee and adhered to
IN the committees brief in the hearings
before the joint select committee in
1915, the House District committee In
December, 1919, and the Senate appro-
priations committee in April, 1880, is as
follows:
We contend, first, that the United
States should contribute largely to the
expenses of the District; second, that
this contribution should be fixed and
definite proportion; third, that this
proportion should be at least one-half.
This platform was modified by the
Districts new organic act of 1922. which
reaf1rmed the principle Of definite pro-
portionate contribution by local COM
munity and Nation toward Capital
upbuilding, but changed the flfty-fifty
ratio to sixty forty, imposing the sixty
per cent burden upon the local tax
payer.

District Only Incidental Contributor.

Protection was afforded the local tax
payer under the 1878 law not only by
the provision that the Nation would con-
tribute so per cent of the total appro-
priation, but also by the assurance that
the local taxpayers would not be COM
PEELED to contribute more than so per
cent Of the total. So in the law Of 1922
the effect of the statute was to pledge
the local taxpayers that not more than
so per cent of the total tax would be
exacted from them. When the lump
sum payment plan was substituted ten
tatively for the 60-40 ratio this pledge
was suspended, but 1t was suggested that
an effective substitute for this pledge
was found in the declared determination
OF Congress under the lump-Sum pay
ment plan to give the local taxpayers q
certain control over their own tax ris-
ing and tax spending, involving the
power to be extravagant or economical,
and to spend much or little of their
own tax money as they pleased. But
Congress in fact limited its power to
expend National tax money, and left
undetermined the amount of local tax
money that 1t could expend. And 1t has
exercised this power without regard to
the wishes of the taxpayers to raise and
spend local taxes not only for strictly
municipal purposes, but for semi
National and primarily National
projects.
1t is to corerct this condition that
Washington now urges Congress. either
to abandon the lump-sum unjustly one
sided experiment, or to make the
Nations lump-sum contribution flexible
and to increase it, or to permit the local
taxpayers to have an effective voice in
deciding how much they will raise in
taxes and how they will spend the taxes
when raised, or to restrict the kind and
amount Of appropriations on the Dis
trict appropriations bill with the result
of limiting arbitrarily the amount Of the
local contribution toward Capital up
building on the same lines as under the
lump-sum payment plan the National
contribution Is limited.
