ment.
Simply because of the three District Commissioners
announced that he would feel himself bound by the votes
of the majority of the community it is held that the pro-
posed referendum would be unlawful delegation of the
authority of the board.
WHETHER WE QUARREL WITH OR AGREE
WITH JUSTICE LET'S REASONING, AND HIS
APPLICATION OF THE LAW, WHETHER ONE
is "WET" OR "DRY," RESIDENTS OF THE CITY
MUST FACE THE FACT THAT UNDER THE RUL-
ING OF A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION
THEY ARE UNABLE TO VOICE THEIR WILL IN
THE ACCEPTED AMERICAN MANNER
It is not new condition for Washington. It was not
created by Justice Let's decision.
It has existed for many years and it will exist for
many unless residents utilize the legal decision
lever with which to py the District loose from the
unAmerican grip in which it is tightly held
The Washington Times at the time was decided to
hold the referendum indorsed the plan the best avail
able means of obtaining the views of the residents of
Takoma Park We pointed out at that time however
that the referendum could be construed binding
upon the Commissioners upon the Alcoholic Beverage
Control Board.
subsequently, Commissioner Allen declared that he
would be bound by the results of the poll That remark
possibly made in moment of exuberant enthusiasm
the rights OF American citizens seems In the light OF
Justice Let's decision to have been fatal.
IT MIGHT WELL BE ARGUED THAT THE LESS
AMERICAN THE PLAN FOR THE REFERENDUM
WAS, THE LESS CHANCE THERE WAS OF ITS BE-
ING DECLARED ILLEGAL. so LONG AS THE REF
ERENDUM DIDN'T MEAN ANYTHING IT MIGHT
HAVE BEEN HELD WITHOUT COURT INTERFER-
ENCE THE MOMENT THERE WAS AN INDICA-
TON THAT OUR GOVERNMENT WAS TO BE CON-
TROLLED BY THE WILL OF THE GOVERNED IT
BECAME ILLEGAL.
Justice Let's decision may very well be blessing to
the residents of the District in the end.
It may become the springboard from which our half
million people can vault into reasonable system of
Government.
The decision could be and undoubtedly will be used
with telling effect in presenting to Congress plea for
the institution of system here whereby the Comms-
soners will be able to ascertain without the tant of
illegality, the wishes of the people.
Undoubtedly Congress has the power to set up such
system It has not done in the past possibly because
it would be put.
ARMED WITH THE COURT DECISION ON THE
TAKOMA REFERENDUM IT SHOULD BE POSSIBLE
TO DRAMATIZE FOR CONGRESS THE CONDITION
OF THE HALF MILLION PEOPLE HERE IT
SHOULD ALSO BE POSSIBLE TO USE THE DECI-
SION TO STIR UP NATION-W INTEREST ON BE-
