rection Of reputation and bad faith OF
the lump-sum payment practice is fur
ther suggested in the exaction In full
from the local partner, the District tax
payer, of the final payment on the park
way connection between Potomac and
Rock Greek Parks. At first the Nation
paid In full for the National Parks to
which it secured title. Then for parks
at the Capital it exacted from the Dis
trict taxpayers SO per cent Of the cost
and later so per cent. But IN this park
way case the final payment was made
solely from District tax money.
No Offsetting Benefits for Injuries.
4. There are no offsetting benefits to
the injuries inflicted by the lump sum
payment practice. All the predictions
of evil concerning It have been 100 per
cent fulfilled. Not one of the benefits
promised for it has been enjoyed.
Washington was tempted to assent to
surrender It's safeguard Of National pro-
portionate contribution by the assur-
ance that If fixed 1ump-sum payment
were made by the Nation, the taxpay-
ers would have practical control OF the
question of the amount of tax money 10
be raised by themselves of the forms OF
taxation to be adopted and of the OBJ
jects for which their tax money should
be spent; that since none Of their tax
money came from the Nation or Ma
tional Treasury they could, with few
limitations, raise and spend their own
money to suit themselves, dominated by
neither Budget Bureau nor Congress.
Our experience has demonstrated tnat
the lump-sum payment practice mas
given no greater freedom in any re-
spect whatever from the rigid super
vision and arbitrary control Of Budget
Bureau and Congress; that 1t has not

To the Congress of the United States:

thrown the whole cost Of Park Com
mission expenditures upon the local
taxpayers. 1t has converted a fine,
wise, broadly National project, which
the elf-deceived District enthusiastic
caIly indorsed, into an unjust increase OF
the local taxpayers tax burden, against
which the District taxpayer vigorously
protests. If Congress will this year
merely cease to write into the District
appropriation bill the annual lump
payment exception in practices TO the
60-40 provision Of substantive law, and
permit the 6o-40 provision OF the law
of 1922 to 60 automatically into effect,
this injustice will be corrected.
ParaIyx1s Permanent improvements.
Cd 1t para1yzes all great and costly
permanent improvements and all loans
for such improvements by creating In
the community O reasonable distrust
whether the National partner IN hnanc-
ing the improvements and repaying the
loans will not exact every cent OF pay
ment for primarily National or semi
National projects from tho tmpotent
local partner, the District taxpayers.
(e) 1t tzints with bad faith and
hurtfuI injustice the Districts new or
ganic act Of 1922.
The understanding, when the act OF
June 20, 1922, was agreed upon by
House and Senate, viewed that act as
q compromise measure, dispostng for
many years Of our troublesome fiscal
relation issues. The Districts contn-
button toward Capital upbuilding was
increased from so to so per cent; its
tax rate on intangible personally
was increased 1928 per cent, and
the foundation was laid (though in

lump-sum payment practice, as applied,
repudiated this equity.
Taints With Unfairness Expenditures
for Parks.
(c) The lump-sum payment expert
men:, as practically applied, converted
the Park Commission law from benefit
and blessing to the National Capital
community into a threat of injury.
On its face the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission law
is broadly National. The terms of the
law suggest the patriotic interest in it
to the extent of a cent q year contri-
button of every man, woman and child
in the Republic. The title to all the
land purchased by the Park Commis-
sion is vested in the United States.
The annual appropriation OF more
than a million dollars year, author
lied as supplemental and extraordi-
nary expenditures by the District Of
Columbia Park Commission law, Is
directed by the law itself to be paid
from the revenues Of the District Of
Columbia and the general funds Of the
Treasury In the same proportion as
other expenses Of the District Of Co.

The current ratio was and Is 6o-4o,
fixed in the substantive law by the
new organic act Of 1922, and still I'M
repealed The wholesale exceptions to the
so-4o ratio involved in the temporary
lump-payment plan of 1928, and Sue

deprived. It's practical effect is to
place maximum limit on the con-
tribution of Uncle Sam, who needs no
protection, and to remove the limit
entirely from the contribution under
compulsion of the local taxpayers,
who, impotent, desperately need pro-
lection from the unchecked eXactlons
of the National partner. Some OF our
legislators at the time of the adop-
ton of the lump-sum payment prac-
tice disavowed any intent to increase
the Districts tax burden by the change
Of appropriation practice, and predict
ed that there would be no increase.
Other legislators frankly announced
that one of their purposes in chang
ing the appropriation practice pur-
pose which they predicted would be
accomplished-waS to enable taxing
body In which the District is not rep
resented to increase the local tax bur-
den at its pleasure, unchecked by the
requirement that every such increase
shall be reflected in some measure in
National taxation for Capital upbu1d-
ing.
Authorized by substantive law to
collect only 60 per cent Of District
appropriations from the local taxpay-
ers, it Is now collecting rs per cent.
The prophets of evil were the true
prophets.
The maximum National contribution
Is made definite during the time IN
which Congress refrains from dimin-
ishing It; but all limits are declared
off In respect to the local contribution,
and it remains definite only in the
demonstrated certainty that the local
tax burden will be largely and steadily
increased, and that the local tax
payers will not participate at any time
in the decision of the amount Of the
increase, the methods Of taxation by
which the increase Is secured and the
purposes for which the tax money Is
spent.
Il
For the reasons above stated, your
petitioners earnestly urge Congress to
reject II. r.. 6285 which iegalizes the
lump payment plan as part of substan-
tive law and further urge Congress in
future District of Columbia appropria-
ton bills to abandon the expert
mental lump payment practice and
to return automatically in practice to
the definite proportion contribution, In
accordancs With the substantive AVs
