IN ANTICIPATION

Representative Paul J. Kvale
young Farmer Laborite, has a new
ambition.
He wants to pace the bridge OF
some foreign steamer on its way
from Baltimore to the CapeS at
the mouth of the Chesapeake.
He thinks that such journey
would improve his knowledge OF
the sea.
The trip would take approx.
mately Is hours and Kvale wants
to take it in the winter.
He has dug up some winter
"heavies" which he used in the
Minnesota woods in anticipation
of his trip.

Not Very NOurishing

At the risk of seeming ungratefu it must be pointed
out that Senator Arthur H Vandenbergs proposal that
member of the Board of District Commissioners be des
gnated delegate from the District to the House of Rep
resentatives holds out little hope of reedyng the vote
less condition of Washington.
His bill to accomplish this purpose is a nice geS-
ture recognizing the fact that half million resi-
dents hare representation in the Congress Uhich
fixes not only the taxes IUe pay to support the Fed
eraL Government but also the taxes Which We pay
to maintain our purely local government.
TO THE EXTENT THAT THE BILL RECOGNIZES
THE EXISTENCE OF THAT UNAMERICAN CONDI
TON, SENATOR VANDENBERG HAS CONTRIB
UTED TO THE LONG, LONG DISCUSSION OF THE
TIONAL CAPITAL.
Under the Michigan Senator'S bill the Commissioners
would select of their members who would have the
right to sit in the House chamber and the right to speak
Now the right to speak is valuable without question
BUT IT LOSES MUCH OF ITS VALUE IN LEGIS
LATURE WHEN 1T CANNOT BE BACKED UP BY
VOTE
Probably less attention would be paid to the Commits
sioner Delegate than is paid to the legislative
mttees of the House and Senate which charged with
handling District affairs.
IN CONSIDERING SENATOR VANDENBERG'S
BILL (AND CONGRESS PROBABLY WON'T EVEN
BOTHER TO DO THAT) 1T SHOULD BE BORNE IN
MIND THAT THE RESIDENTS OF THE DISTRICT
WOULD HAVE NO VOICE IN THE SELECTION OF
RESENT THEIR INTERESTS IN THE HOUSE
The Commissioners appointed by the Presi
dent and that condition would continue.
It is weknown that the local citizens often find that
the President appoints as Commissioners who cannot
Justly claim any substantial interest in local affairs
Out of three men thus selected would be designated
to serve as delegate.
This procedure obviously lUOuLd go very little of
the distance tOWard restoring to our citizens the
right to participate in their government.
AS WE SAID, WE DON'T WANT TO SEEM UN-
GRATEFUL FOR ANY CRUMBS THAT MAY FALL
FROM THE CONGRESSIONAL TABLE, BUT THIS
ONE SEEMS TO CONTAIN LITTLE NUTRIMENT.

Birds build their nests, wild animals dig out
