National Representation
Citizens Joint Committee.

TWO civic leaders were accosted
the other day by q prominent
local banker and asked to explain
just what are the aims Of the Citi-
zens' Joint Committee on National
Representation and how does it
stand as to the matter OF the elec-
ton of the officers Of the local
government. The gentleman In
question is probably not q reader
Of this column or the question
would never have been asked. As
there are probably others who lack
this information an explanation
follows.
This citizens joint committee
has been created by the action Of
most of the civic and business Or
ganizations and organized labor
of the District for concerted action
to obtain for the residents of the
District of Columbia voting rep
resentation in the Senate and
House of Representatives, the vote
for President and Vice President.
and the same rights as citizens
to sue and be sued In the courts
OF the United States as possessed
by the citizens Of the State. This
can be brought about only through
an amendment to the Constitution
of the United States giving Con-
gress the power, by suitable legisla-
ton, to confer such fundamental
American rights upon the voteless
and unrepresented residents Of the
District Of Columbia.
This citizens joint committee was
created and exists solely for this
purpose and consequently has no
attitude as to the question of the
local government. The organiza-
tions composing the committee
stand together solidly on this pro-
posal to grant these national rights
to the District people. Some Of
these organizations are opposed to
an elective form of local govern
ment and some are in favor Of such
o change.
The two propositions are sepa-
rate and distinct and are obtaina-
bic through two entirely different
channels. The national citizen
ship must come through amend
ment to the Constitution and the
local citizenship simply through act
Of Congress.
In civic circles there is firm
conviction that the District will
never have a square deal at the
hands Of the United States until
the District Is represented in the
councils Of the Nation on parity
with the other States Of the Union.

Nom Resident Children
And the District Schools.


And the District Schools.
CIVIC interest is renewed In the
old problem Of the free edu-
cation in the District public schools
Of nonresident children through
the action brought by q Virginia
resident against the superintendent
Of schools.
This matter OF the non resident
pupil Is not nearly so serious as
1t was some years ago. The fine
schools built during tine past decade
by nearby Maryland and Virginia
have relieved the District Of a large
part Of its nonresident load. The
large growth in population Of the
District of Columbia since 1888.
however. once more has made the
situation acute in the matter If
school accommodations. This Is
particularly true as to the Junior
high schools, where 1t has been
necessary to bar outsiders until
resident children are taken care CT.
About 100 nonresident pupils
have applied for admission in the
junior high schools and been turned
down. The father Of one Of those
refused enrolment now seeks by
writ Of mandamus to require DR..
Ballou to admit the child. The
law In question provides that "all
pupils whose parents are employed
oficially or otherwise in the Dis
trict shall be admitted and taught
free Of charge in the schools of the
District"
The point at issue seems to hang
on whether the law is mandatory
or permissive. Other very inter-
esting angles. which probably have
no legal bearing on the case, are
none the less worthy of consider
alton. The first is that when; in
1915, the law quoted was enacted
the United States paid q much
larger proportion of the cost Of
running the District, including the
schools, than at present. The Sec
ond Is that the compulsory edu-
cation law OF Congress imposes an
obligation on our schools first to
take care of our own. who are re-
quired by law to go to school.
There Is a third, which is an off,
shoot Of the first, and that is that
Congress has failed to provide the
class room, teachers and other IA
cilities. to take care Of these out
siders who 1t has provided shall
have free tuition.
School authorities fear that
should the writ issue the over
crowding will become far more
acute. However, 1t may be bless
ing in disguise as means of
awakening the Bureau of the
Budget and Congress to the neces-
sity Of expanding the school facil-
tiles to meet the demands which
Congress has placed upon 1t
through the compulsory education
law as well as the nonresident
pupil law.
