ClOuding the Issue

Much evidence has been received by the President s
advisory committee studying fiscal relations between
the Federal and the District governments
Last week local officials appeared before the commit
tee to state their views while previously many citizens
had told the committee what they felt.
But out of the grst of the matter presented to the
committee last week two subjects which, while of
tremendous Importance to the residents of the National
Capital not of great Importance as factors in the
subject which the committee is investigating.
District Commissioner George E. Allen is reported to
have argued before the committee that the which
the Federal Government pays toward the support of its
National Capital should be increased because residents
of the city have no vote.
MIR. Rufus S. Lusk, secretary of the Washington Tax
payers Association in brief submitted to the commit
tee asked that study be made of the possibilities of
ducing expenses of the District by reorgan
lzation Of the government
Now Commissioner Allen is no more disguised with
the dictatorial powers which the Federal Government
exercises the voees residents of the District than
are thousands of his fellow residents
But the voting privIege-even of Washingtonians who
don't have the privlege-is not for sale for few mil
lion dollars added to the Federal share of local expenses
The District of Columbia is not deprived of the vote
because of what the Federal Government pays and the
Federal Government does not pay share of local
penses in order to keep the vote from Washington.
We are glad to see Commissioner Allen fighting

The Times for years has sought to have compre-

BIG BUSINESS

And so it grew up.
The United States conducts the
largest business in the world. II
employs $4,000 persons. Its an
nual pay roll is in excess of 400
million dollars. It handles more
than four billion dollars annually
and its gross receipts total nearly
600 billion dollars.
And with it all it loses money.
It is the Post Office Department,
Samuel OSgood was the first
Postmaster General under the
Constitution and at the time he
took office there were IS post
offices. Now there are $4,000.
The Department, as you may or
may not remember, was first or
ganized merely to set up post
office and post roads.
It developed in this manner:
Postage stamps, 1847; registered
mail, 1855; railway mail service,
1862; city delivery service, 1868;
postal money orders, 1864: foreign
money orders, 1857: special de-
livery, 1885; rural delivery, 1895;
postal savings, 1911; village de-
livery, 1912; parcel post, including
insurance and collect-on-delivery
service. 1918, and air mail, 1918.
MISHAPS
One Of the gentlemen remi-
niScing over previous inauguralS
as the plans for this one are being
laid out, tells the story of the
governors aide who was just too
reckless at the Hoover ceremony.
AS his governors car reached
the Capitol plaza the crowds
broke over the sidewalks and
stopped it. The aide jumped out,
secured a policeman and cleared
a path. AS the car passed him he
shouted: go ahead" and jumped
on the running board.
The limousine swung around
under the Senate steps. There
was a loud crash. The aide had
leaned too far out and a post
had sideswiped him.
The governor was as dry as he
could be. It was prohibition time.
The aide was very much en-
barraSSed because his hip flask
had been smashed to smithereens
and the governor remarked:
Good heavens, boys, they'll
think we've got . distillery In
this car"

isn't enough money.
Mr.. Lynn advertised for bids
during the summer and they were
all too high. He advertised for
them several weeks ago. The bids
are now in his office. They have
been distracted and gone over by
his engineers. The results will be
made public today or tomorrow.
And there's only one chance in a
thousand that they will be low
enough this time.
Anyway, Congress oughtnt to
kick when it comes back. The
Capitol and the three other build
ings have a nice system of air ducts
installed anyway.
When the bids for the install
lation of the system were first
drawn up Mr.. Lynn put Mr.. Gus
Cook to work in the Capitol super

the ducts. This work will be fin

It will be up to Congress to ap-
propriate the necessary funds to
finish out the system.
