unless the increased revenue may
be shown to be absolutely needed

Some civic leaders are very pro-
nounced in their disapproval Of
the idea of the Taxation Commit
tee. They believe that the Com
missioners would occupy a far
more logical position and would
be more in accord with the wishes
of the taxpayers If they appointed
committee to gather evidence
showing the many sound reasons
for the Government bearing its
proper proportion Of the burden of
the National Capital upbuilding
and maintenance. And it has been
suggested by number Of citizens
that such committee might also
endeavor to discover economies
which may be introduced in the
District Government to reduce the
budget in some Of its items.
In the past, the task Of pre-
pairing such fiscal arguments and
representations has been left ex-
clusively to the voteless taxpayers
of the District Of Columbia. The
present Board of Commissioners
has taken a generally approved
stand in urging Congress to in
crease the Federal payment. It is
now held in civic circles that the
Commissioners should continue to
stand and use all Of their ammuni-
ton in this direction, rather than
in endeavoring to discover new
sources Of taxation which might
serve the purpose Of making it
easier for the "unfriends" Of the
District in Congress to further Es-

flation bill today indicated that
the measure would be badly de-
feated If brought to a vote.
The poll, made under the direc-
ton Of House leaders, showed LA
members out Of a present total Of
431, unqualifiedly favoring enact
ment of the bill.
On this basis the bill would be
defeated by a 81 vote. despite the
recent drive Of Rev. Charles E.
Coughlin, Detroit'S radio priest, "
for the measure. At least so mem.
berS, however, were classed as
doubtful"
The canvass submitted TO Rep

out of BIT Democrats favor the
bill: 80 out of 104 Republicans
want it. and 10 votes would be
picked up among Progressives and

AS result of the canvass, some
