DOUBLE-TRACK|NG
.. PLAN IS PUSHED
Manor Park Group Seeks
Action on Kennedy and
Third Streets Line.

Another effort to secure action by
the Public Utilities Commission on
the double tracking of the Kennedy
and Third street car line was launched
last night by the Manor Park Cit
izerS' Association.
The resolution asked that the COM
mission enforce its order of February,
1885, that the car line be double
tracked.
A resolution indorsing the Roose-
welt High Schools Parent-T Teacher
Associations campaign for beauti-
flcation of public school grounds also
was passed.
The association orderd that letter
be written to Traffic Director Van
Duzer, asking that some means be
taken to alleviate the traffic problem
on Fourteenth and Third streets. 1t
was pointed out the confusion was
due largely to street cars operating
In both directions on the one-way
track.
1t was asked that parking be
allowed on but one side of the street
between Grant Circle and Takoma.
Allan Davis, principal of Roosevelt
High School, made short talk.

 The following report from New York revealed the fact that only l2 pict- ures were rejected by the New York State censorship out of 1,749 films review ed during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1885 which by the way is nothing short of being a sensation. Of the twelve rejected, three were later revised and accepted for licenses.
 With such historic writ CTS as Shakespeare and Dickens and dozens of oth- CTS furnishing a number of the stories, Romeo and Juliet' "Tale of Two Git ies, "As You Like It. one must say that Hollywood is just getting it's stride.

the future of the little strip of

At the last session of Congress a

At the next session of Congress
a constitutional amendment will
be re-introduced giving to the peo.
pie who live in the National Capt.
tai the right to participate in the
affairs of the country by vote. II
stands a good chance of passing
and will be relegated to the States

There is no sound argument
against the enfranchiSement of
half a million people who consti-
tute the voting population OF
Washington. The fact that they
are denied a vote and have so
long been orphans in the political
storms may be ascribed to an
oversight by the trainers of the
Constitution in denying them rep
reSentation in Congress and in the
Electoral College.
Although they are denied a
voice in the conduct of the affairs
of the country they are not i'm
mune to the obligations of citi-
zenship and they annually turn
into the national treasury over
seventeen million dollars in the
spending of which they have moth
ing whatever to do. Washington,
during the World war contributed
more men and women to the, ac'

The Washington Times, one of
the most important newspapers in
the National Capital, is currently
giving attention editorially to the
fact that 433,O0O voting-age resi-.
dents of the District Of Columbia
are denied the right to vote. This
newspaper finds itself in complete
sympathy with the point of view of
The Times and, like The Times,
would like to put the simple ques-
ton:
"Why?"
Certainly, it is a paradoxical
commentary on the boaSted demo
cracy of our country that the resi-
dents of the Capital itself should
be denied any voice in the govern
ment. The residents of the District
of Columbia, which incidentally
are more numerous than the popu-
lation of eight different States,
last year paid a total of $17,322,-
929 in Federal taxes, which was
more than the sum paid by IS in
dividual States. Moreover, during
the World War, the District of Co
lumbia sent more men into the SER
vice than II various States. Here,
then, is not only taxation without
representation, an evil against
which our forefathers fought and
died, but also service in actual war
fare, in the declaration of which
the residents of the Capital dis
trict had absolutely no voice
through representation in Con-
greSS.
It is basic principle Of democ-
racy that all people should have a
voice in their government. The
city of washington exists only be-
cause the colonies fought to es-
tablish this principle-and won.
Yet, those citizens who live in the
capital are denied the right to live
under this principle.
A constitutional amendment
which would right this obviously
unfair discrimination was intro
duced in the last Congress. Accord
ing to The Washington Times, it
will be re-introduced in the Con.
gresS which conveneS in January.
It is difficult to see how anyone
could possibly object to its pas
sage.

WASHINGTON
NON-VOTERS
(Reprinted from the NeD Britain

(Reprinted from the NeD Britain
Herald, Nov. z, 1856
The nation was duly informed
once again that the citizens of
Washington, D. C.-who are also
citizens of the U. S. A.-could not
join hands in the grand melee at
the polls. The founding fathers
had an idea that the civic servants
of the nation should not be per-
mitted to have a hand in the NAM
ing of a president, seeing that
they lived off the government; so
until this day the residents Of
the District of Columbia are a
citiZenry apart.
Like many another faded idea
from the early times, this no
longer seems fair. Where original
ly the residents of D. c. could not
live elsewhere and work there
very readily, now it is found that
thousands of government workers
and employees can commute to
Washington while living in Mary
lard or Virginia. Federal en-
ployeS live thickly in both the
adjoining States; indeed, the
contiguous parts Of Maryland and
Virginia for all purposes are
part of washington.
If a vote were taken in the rest
of the country as tn whether the
residents of washington were to
be allowed the vote it would prob
ably be overwhelming in their
favor. At present, as only half
the Federal employees live in
Washington, half of them really
vote in the States of their habita-
tions. The others are diSfran-
chSed.
It is surprising that a political
party issue has not been made of
this long ago.

A WRONG TO BE
RIGHTED

CBoSton Transcript, Nov. 19, 1866
The word from Washington that
Congress will be asked to approve
q constitutional amendment to
give the people Of the District Of
Columbia the right to vote will
provide an excellent opportunity
for the more fortunate Americans
Of all the other States to throw
the weight Of their influence on
the side Of justice and fair play.
Here is, as we have so often said
in the past, a highly desirable and
necessary reform and a cause in
which all citizens may well enlist.
It Is q desirable reform because
it will bring into the electorate
nearly half q million loyal, iterate
and largely native-born men and
women. It is a necessary reform
because it constitutes the one way
that o nation, founded on the
principle Of equality, can prove
to the world that it refuses longer
to tolerate a practice directly con-
trary to its preachings and its pro-
feSStonS.
There is more than a touch of
irony in the fact that the United
States, which fought one war
against the vicious principle of
taxation without representation" !"
has up to this point condoned the
application Of this very theory to
a great unit of it's population.
Although allowing the people of
the District no voice in the man
.ner Of raising or expending funds,
it accepts from them annually
about $17,000,000 in national
taxeS-more than is received from
any one Of Is other States. AL
though permitting those same
people no representation in the
body which declared or prose
'cuted the Great War, it took their
sSonS to the colors-more of them,
in fact, than came from any one
Of II States.
Americans may, on occasion,
not make use of the franchise, but
they would create a substantial
and justifiable uproar if their
right to i. were taken away from
= them. So they will, we are sure,
support the men and women of
the District of Columbia in this
new campaign to have an obvious
wrong righted. They will do it
mot only because of their essential
belief in decent and equal treat
ment for all Americans but be-
cause they will welcome to the
voting lists the names of a large
group Of persons who, by virtue
of their very intimate contact
with the Federal Government, are
perhaps the most competent of
us all to cast an intelligent ballot.
