D. c. Tax Program U1yustdifiied and U11sound

There is another interesting factor in the
situation which casts doubt on the good
faith of the pending tax program.
For many years individual members Of
Congress have been critical Of the District
because residents here we're not paying
ALL Of the specific taxes which were inn
posed on residents of ALL of their districts.
One member would arise and proclaim
that such and such a tax levied in his home
town was not levied in the District of Co.
lumbia
Another member would arise and pro-
claim that this and that tax paid by his con-
stituents was not paid by Westinghouse.
Apparently these members have not con-
sidered that Washingtonians pay taxes
which are not even thought of in their own
districts.
The mere absence from the District of
tax with which they were familiar in their
own homes seemed to them to be enough to
warrant the charge that Washingtonians
were lodging fair tax burden.
Now the Collins bills would tax just about
everything in the District of Columbia but
the ''squeal"
IT WOULD SEEM THAT MR.. COL
Inns HAS SUCCUMBED TO THE PHI
LOSOPHY THAT WE IN WASHING
TON SHOULD PAY NOT ONLY THE
TAXES CALLED FOR IN AN AL
READY COMPLETE LOCAL TAX PRO
GRAM BUT SHOULD ALSO BE
CALLED UPON TO MEET ALL OTHER
SPECIFIC TAXES LEVIED IN EVERY
OTHER TAKING COMMUNITY IN
THE COUNTRY.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1937-04-09

THE nine proposals to increase exist
ing taxes in the District Of Columbia
- or to add new taxes to those already
collected violate the fundamental prin-
ciples of justice and decency which should
prevail in every revenue-producing pro-
gram.
When it is considered that bills to carry
these proposals into effect have been intro
duced in the House with a view to impos-
ing them on people deprived of any YES
tige of suffrage and without any voice in
the deliberations of Congress it can readily
be seen that THEY ARE REPUGNANT TO
ANY CONCEPTION OF FAIR TREAT
MENT OF THOSE IT IS PROPOSED TO
TAX.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1937-04-09

The imposition of taxes can be justified
only on the ground that the revenue they
would produce is necessary to defray the
expenses of the Government.
The pending tax program would raise,
at minimum estimate, at least one hun
dred per cent more money than the District
government will stand in need of during
the coming year when it would have its
initial effect.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1937-04-09

But both the items OF appropriation and the Federal
share have yet to the gauntlet of Senate committee
and full Senate considerations have to go back to the
House again and then have to go through the tedious
process of conference between the two houses of
Congress.
OBVIOUSLY MR. COLLINS CANNOT KNOW AT
THIS STAGE OF THE PROCEDURE HOW MUCH
ADDITIONAL REVENUE WILL BE REQUIRED.
Yet, with confidence worthy of better case, the
Mississppian has told the House in bill form just how
much should be raised and just how it should
be raised.
Under all the circumstances the conclusion unavoid
able that the purpose Of these tax bills must be something
other than to meet determined needs in a fair and equ
table fashion,
And it is not at all difficult to find reasons which boil
ster this conclusion.
Any kind of study of the fiscal affairs of the District
of Columbia in recent years demonstrates that there is
a determined movement on foot to withdraw from the
National Capital any support from the Federal Govern
ment.
There is determined group which wishes to eliminate
the people of the United States from any participation
in the financing of this city, which created by the
United States specifically to the United States
Under the direction of this group the Federal appro
priation for the National Capital has been whitfield down
to five million dollars.
It is not remarkable coincidence that the excess of
additional the current estimated needs
which the Collins bills would raise would be Just slightly
more than the amount which the Federal Government
is paying.
In other words, year from the District would
have surplus if the Collins bills enacted Of approx
imately six million dollars.
What could be easier then for those who oppose the
Federal Governments aiding it's National Capital to
maintain that the Districts locally raised revenues more
than exceed it's expenditures and that Federal appro
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1937-04-09

Any tax program which may be imposed
should in simple justice be arrived at after
a full and free discussion of its necessity
and of it's details with consideration being
given to the views of those to be taxed.
The pending tax program energies from
a committee room of which the doors were
locked during it's formulation and in which
no representatives of those to be taxed were
present.

These that it has not been shown that the Federa
Government when it pays five million dollars is paying
anything approaching fair share of it's obligation to
city which exists for other purpose than to serve as
the seat of that Government and that it has not been
demonstrated that the present revenues of the District
are being expended with maximum of efficiency.
The current Federal lump sum of five million dollars
was arrived at arbitrarily and without any regard for
the equities of the fiscal relationship between the Fed
eral Government and its National Capital.
None of the official Investigations which have been
made of the fiscal relationship has shown any justca-
ton for low figure this five million dollars, al
though some have recommended figure low as that
Mr.. Collins himself although as chairman of the ap-
preparations subcommittee he recommended an appro
priaton of five million dollars demonstrated that under
the much criticized point formula Of the Jacobs
committee fair appropriation OF the points alone
would have been slightly less than nine million dollars
We submit that it is unjustabe to reduce the pro-
portion of the Federal Governments share while con-
stanty increasing the local residents share unless and
until it is shown that the Federal Government is being
called to pay exorbitant and unustified amount
AS to the efficiency of the expenditure of the District
Governments funds grave doubts have been raised.
Apparently Mr.. Collins and his subcommittee enter
tain these doubts themselves for they would appropri-
ate money to conduct investigation of the operation
of the District Government with view to promoting
efficiency and economy.
There isn't any question that if these two points-of
the fairness of the Federal share and the efficiency and
economy of the local be settled and
it could still be demonstrated that additional tax money
was needed the people of Washington would be willing
to foot the bill
Washngtonians have tremendous pride in their cty.
They rejoice at being able to live in the National
Capital.
NEVERTHELESS, THEY BELIEVE THAT ALI,
ELEMENTS CONCERNED IN THE CITY SHOULD
PARTICIPATE PROPORTIONATELY IN MAIN
TANNING AND DEVELOPING THAT CITY.

There are two highly important consid-
erations which we would submit to the
Congress before it dashes headlong into i'm
posing on voteless Washington an unnec-
essary and an unjustifiable additional tax
rornnrarn

a committee of which the doors -
locked during it's formulation and in which *
representatives of those to be taxed 49,
present. -
Taxes should be levied on all citizens on sssssssssSa
the basis Of ability to pay and without dis -
elimination as to payment or as to the use
to which the revenues are to be put.
The pending tax program levies taxes
against specific groups to be used for general benefits
and would impose burdens which would be ruinous to
some while touching only lightly others who in
better position to carry the burden.
To fairminded man it should Immediately appear
and believe that Congress is composed largely of
farminded men-that there can be intelligent prep
araon of detailed tax program until the amount of
money to be raised is determined.
Representative Ross Collins of Mississippi chairman
of the District subcommittee of the House Appropra-
lions Committee and sponsor of the pending ninepoint
proposal has this instance placed the cart before the
horse.
Mr. Collins and those who with him are fatherng this
proposal to dip into the pockets of Neutrality-suspicious. to
meet what is termed financial crisis in the District of
Columbia have set forth what they conceive to be the
solution OF problem before the nature of the problem
has been determined.
month or two ago the problem seemed to be to raise
funds to meet prospective deficit Of twelve thirteen
million dollars.
week or two ago the problem seemed to be to meet
prospective deficit of six million dollars.
No one knows what the problem will be by the time
Congress concludes deliberations the pending District
appropriation bill.
That bill has many steps yet to take before becomes
law and only after has become law will it be possible
to state definitely how much additional revenue the Dis
tct OF Columbia will need to meet the expenses created
by the provisions of the bill
Yet Mr. Collins in his bills proposes to raise at least
twelve million doars-an amount equal to the maxi
mum estimated need of two months ago.
AS the appropriation bill passed the House-after both
it and Mr. Collins ambitions to be legislative car of
the National Capital had received severe mauling-
it provides appropriations out of all funds of approx
mately forty-five million dollars
Of these expenditures the Federal Government, un-
der the House BILL would meet five million dollars worth
and the residents of the city would meet the remaining
forty million dollars worth.

to say that the citizenry of

thing more about the appalling

What has become Of that fine
neutrality act that was passed
a few months ago with such a
fanfare Of trrlmpets?' thought
that was going to prevent wars
by making it impossible for COM
batants to get munitions and
supplies.
Or was I wrong and was it
just another Of the New Deals
pipe dreams?
The provisions of that law
should be clamped on right now
by Mr.. Roosevelt. How many
Americans do these OrientalS
have to kill before action will be
taken?
Are we a nation capable Of pro-
tecting our citizens or are we a
bunch Of sniveling cowards2 We
will carry this absurd fear of
others to the point soon where
if a foreign plane bombs our
shores we will apologize.

going to cost more to live and do business in the
Il District from now on.
The signing of the tax bill by President Roose-
welt will add at least million dollars year to the
money that we must pay to be governed
That means that every bit of real estate will have to
pay 25 cents for every hundred dollars of value
1t means that every business establishment must
obtain license to operate and that it must then paw
twoffths of per cent of its gross receipts going
back to 1896.
E.rou H. DuL There a lot of other miscel-
r...I. laneous taxes set up in the bill, in
Guiding the totally unnecessary
boost in the cost of all automobile licenses
Even the dead won't escape the new taxes which
include levies on estates and on inheritances
Probably if the people who will pay these taxes could
see any tangible results in the shape of better govern
ment or improved governmental services they wouldn't
feel so badly about putting up the money.
Much of tho Monov But the public knows that
m.toJ lot of this money is going to be
wasted. 1t is going to be spent
to carry out foolish experiments and to perpeuate lot
of absurd ideas that have been tackled onto the District
government by itinerant Congressman

excellent idea for Wahngtonians to watch and see if
the additional cost of their proves to be
worth anything.

mize caution on the part Of the
motorist, I would like to point
out that the greater portion of
our traffic deaths are those Of
reckless pedestrians, in fact rs
per cent Of them involve unfor-
tunates who walk or run into the
paths Of oncoming autos and in
the majority Of these cases, the
motorist is held blamelesS by
the Coroner's jury.
So we must not hope to cope
with this condition by preach
ing and by parking ticket drives.
We must have motorcycle police.
I was astounded to learn re-
Gently that we have SO motor
cycle policemen less tn a n we
had in 1880 and further that
this lack Of proper traffic police
is due to the failure Of Congress
to make adequate appropriations
for this important police service.
The various civic associations
might aid in solving this prob
lem by making an organized,
forceful demand upon Congress
for proper protection.

When Is a War a War?

THIS writing the only White House utterance
IA on China and Japan and the "tension" between
them is the Presidents decision to send 1900
United States Marines to Shanghai from San Diego,
Cal. 1t will take ten days
to embark them, and is something
TTe0C''p''O" of STALL But stallng looks like
the wisest statecraft for us just now.
The whole business is embarrassing all around; and
the reason for that is neutrality law.
Under this law, when our President decides that
state of war exists somewhere embargo Immediately
clamps down on American shipments of actual
supplies-guns, ammunition, fighting planes, ec.-to
both belligerents, and on American loans to both
belgerens. Thereafter, the President in his discre
ton can list articles which can be exported for the
warning nations only "cash and carry" basis
non-American ships to and take them away, pay
men to be made before the goods leave legal title to
the goods pass to the buyer at the American shipping
point.
This was a bright shiny looking idea when it was
debated and enacted in Congress a few months ago.
But when it meets its first severe test seems not to
fit the case.
u,,rt;uo ch;nn IS going on in China, and
Japan Is the aggressor. japanese
"''p'''0 '"p"" soldiers are in China; no Chinese
soldiers in Japan There is terrific fighting in and
Shanghai, and in and around the Nankow Pass,
keys to the North China provinces which Japan wants.
But neither side has declared war. And if we decide
that state of exists the enforcement of our neu
traty law will hurt China and help Japan the aggres-
Yet it will do us no good, and may do us great
harm, if Japan wins this war and adds large annex
to its Asiatc warehouse of raw materials and cheap
manpower. American sympathies, too, are pretty
largely with China because if Japan ticks China we are
apt to be next on the list.
So patent neutrality prescription looks more and
like hoax.
It has been saved from severe test regarding Spain
by the fact that SPANS is civil war as we'll as
"litte World War; that our Government is not
forced to recognize officially the weknown fact that
Italy, Germany and Russia all have part in the
Spanish war.
The Administration will probably work out some
answer to fit American interests and sympathies in this
war, and we hope it does. But its contortions and
juggngs in the attempt to make it's China Japan policy
fit inside the stiff confines of the neutrality law should
be interesting indeed to watch.

And people don't understand

On the whole, you're lucky
that people don't understand

prove a terrible shock.
AS a matter of fact, it isn't
other peoples lack of understand
ing that is making a mess of
your life that gets you in

bewildered, peevish and blue -.
It's your own lack Of understand
