Merited Recognition

TlHE appointment Of Mr.. John 7. Lambert, formerly
L of Boston, as publisher Of The Washington Times,
brings just recognition to great newspaperman and
fine gentleman.
Anyone familiar with the Boston scene will realize
at once how important role played by Mr.. Lam
BERT who for nearly 20 years served as member OF
the staff of the Boston Evening American and the Bos
ton Sunday Advertiser. He was, of course, distin-
guished personality in political circles and has held
important editorial posts here and in Washington.
He was one of the very few newspapermen who knew
Calvin Coolidge intimately and during his presidential
regime Mr. Lambert spent his entire time in Washington
Possessed of the broad vision and tolerance necessary
to those who reflect public opinion, Mr. Lambert as the
chief editorial writer of the Boston American demon
straed on numerous occasions his sympathy and un-
derstanding of Jewish problems The Jewish Advocate
takes this opportunity of extending hearty congratua
tons to Mr. Lambert and wishes him long and happy
regime in the high office publisher

Pathway to Success

NEWSPAPER carrier boys of The Washington
~ Times and Herald who attended the annual din
ner at the Willard Hotel last week found plenty of in
spiraton to carry them into New Year of activity and
endeavor
They had outlined to them the paths of success which
stretch out from the tasks they performing in
distributing newspapers to the citizens of Washington.
Co.. Marvin H. Mcintyre, secretary of President
Roosevelt told the youths that the happest ten years
of nv life spent in the editorial department of The
Times'
William Randolph Hearst in a message to the boys,
told them:
Ninety per cent-in fact ninety nine per cent-of
the successful men in America today have risen from
the ranks.
"What they have done you can do.
"A surprising number Of those men have been news
paper boys like yourselves.
''The training good for them the work was good
for them"
MESSAGES SUCH AS THESE ARE CERTAIN TO
RENEW IN ANY YOUTH THE DIFFERENTIATION
TO SUCCEED.

He said he can't see any reason
why anyone would want to get
into the government at this time
when the departments aren't given
enough money to hand out any
promotions.
"They can't seem to under
stand" the Senator remarked,
"that when they take job they
have to start at the lowest sal
airy in their grade. I've had sew
eraI instances where a man ap-
piled and was appointed to a
job that had paid his successor
S2,4OO or $4,000 a year. The
man who came in to fill his

" Without
Representation"
yale NewS. NetO HaUen. Conn.,
Dec. II, 1866

yale NewS. NeD HaUen, Conn.,,
Dec. II, 1856
We've been hearing a lot these
last few weeks about the outworn
features OF the British constitu-
ton that make possible such ridic-
ulous crises as that which yester.
day brushed Edward VIII from
the imperial throne, but all along
the mote has been in our own eye.
AS the alert editor of The Wash
ington Times points out, there are
$4,000 loyal, highly literate, and
largely native-born Americans in
one of Americas most famous
cities who are still denied the
right to representative govern
ment. We mean, of course, the
citizens of our Nations Capital
who have absolutely no voice in
the election of the legislators or
executives who guide our national
destiny.
1t was simply an oversight, too.
The ConStitution-makers forgot to
provide power that would per.
NIT citizens of the District of Co
lumbia to organize for national
representation when they became
numerically strong enough to do
so-although the Constitution
foresaw the need of such a power
for territories which would grow
up during national expansion.
There was no thought at the time
of the framing of the Constitu-
ton, a careful reading of debates
shows, of denying the national
representation privilege to resi-
dents of Washington. But through
the years, as the city has grown,
the injustice Of that denial has be-
come more widespread.
A Constitutional amendment to
redress the wrong was introduced
into the last Congress and will be
reintroduced in January, our in
formation has it. Cynical as usual,
we doubt that it will pass this
session, in spite of the fact that
Washington must now be a city
consisting largely of Democrats,
who also, you may recall, are the
party in power. 1t took the Lame
Duck Amendment sponsored by
Senator Norris something like
twenty years to seep through,
harmless though it was.
But just as a Christmas present
to the BureaucratS of the Capital
City, it would be a friendly ges-
ture for Yale to take the problem
home to its Congressman and SEN
ators when they depart for the
holidays this year.
Who knows? BY the time Prin.
cess Elizabeth is old enough to be-
come worry to the cabinet, the
amendment might get to the
States for their ratification.

The Greatest Show on Earth
By Frank Miller Smith

$1,000 is liable to be stuck there
for some time and may never
get his pay raised.
"It has been my experience
that only one out of every 500
applicants is lucky enough to
get a job. We had vacancies
for 16 deputy internal revenue
collectors in my State a while
back and l had 5000 applica-
tiOns for these 16 jobs. That
isn't unusual either. From con-
versatiOns with other Senators
1 find the ratio is the same all
over.
Zone of the reasons 1 want
to have the Civil Service Sys-
tenn extended to as many posi-
tiOns as possible is that / find
we have a hard time getting
peOple to take Civil Service ex-
aminatiOns now. They know
that patronage jobs are given
out and they want to get into
the Government without taking
the examinations"

A VoteIess People
Post, Palm Beach, Fla.,
Dec. IL, 1886

If one-third of the people of
Florida we're denied the privilege
of voting and were doomed to go
without representation in Con-
gress, a tremendous howl about
unfairness would go up.
Yet that is an exact example of
what has happened to American
citizens of the District of Colum-
bia, numbering more than 100000
souls. They have no ballot, but
they do have taxation without
representations thing which
some of the boys back in TITS
made no little fuss about all the
way from the shores of Long
Island to the hills of Georgia
The issue finally was determined
at Yorktown.
Congress does not have the
power under the Constitution to
grant to the District of Columbia
the right to vote for members OF
Congress. The Constitution max
ers provided for the creation OF
new States from Territories but
the District of Columbia does not
fall within this classification.
The reason for the failure of
Congress heretofore to submit the
proposed constitutional amend
ment for the ratification by the
States has been largely indiffer
ence on the part of members OF
Congress to a non.voting and
powerless group of persons.
The phrase, when it becomes
fit" is that ordinarily used in
qualifying a territory for State
hood, and applies generally to
population, area, conditions with
in the territory as a whole.
The District of Columbia orig
mated in the politics of Confed
Grafton time. One of the chief
reasons why we have a District
of Columbia, a Federal District
is because some ruffianS threat
ened members and broke up g
meeting of Congress in Philadel
phia. It was then determined
that the Federal body must have
a Federal home where it could be
supreme.
George Washington was author
lied to select a site, and after
much consideration the States o1
Maryland and Virginia ceded lano
which together formed a district
ten miles square. The Virginia
portion was receded to that State
in 1846.
The first government of the
City of Washington consisted o1
a Mayor named by the President
of the United States, and a city
council elected by the people oi
the city. This was in 1902. Their
in 1871 there was a provision
made for a legislative body con
Sisting of council of II members
and a house of delegates of q
members, a governor, and boarc
of public works. The District al
that time was given a delegate ir
Congress, but this ceased in 1875
In 1874. Congress provided that
| the District should be governed
The Washington times., 1937-01-04

; by three commissioner appointed
by the President. This was known
as the temporary form of govern
ment, and lasted until 1878, when
the present commission govern
ment was set up. In the creation
of the temporary commission
form of government and the per.
manent form, no provision was
made for the franchise, and for
the first time in three-quarters of
a century no part of the District
exercised the right OF suffrage.
The appointment of commissions
ers are confirmed by the Senate.
All laws for the government Of
the District are made by Congress.
! Residents of the District, as
such, do not enjoy the franchise
and do not vote on either national
or municipal matters, but many
persons residing in the District
are ppointed to governmental po-
sitions through the Civil Service
laws, and when accepting such po'
sitionS they do not give up their
voting residence in the States.
If they retain this voting resi-.
dence. the laws of the various
States permit them to vote as
residents of such States.
An effort has been made sev.
eral times to restore the, suffrage
and representation to residents Of
the District. Fewer than ten per
cent of the population OF the Dis
trict maintain voting residences
elsewhere. Naturally, it would
seem, a representative democracy
should not deny any citizen Of
the nation the right of franchise
merely because no provision was
made for the exercise of that
right.
The people of the United States
did not gain representative gov
ernment in a day. Representa-
ton ever here was one of the
major considerations sof the Con.
stitutional convention of 1887, not
that there should be representa-.
ton but the manner of arriving
at it. Whether it should be on
a basis of wealth, or on a basis
of population proved to be a vex-
ing question, although it will be
seen that wealth and population
in State or a district generally
go hand in hand. Representation
in the douSe originally was set at
one for each 10000 inhabitants.
BY 1850 it was one for each 93,.
900. BY 1900 it was one for each
194,800, and today it is one for
each 100000, under the appor-
tionment of 1890, and this would
give the District of Columbia at
least one, and perhaps two. Con-
greSSional delegates where its
people have no direct representa-
tion.
Undoubtedly all those persons
interested in government, and in
good government and progressive
government, will have hearty con-
Germ in supporting the cause of a
half-million voteless persons in
the District of Columbia.
The Washington times., 1937-01-04

Both proposals to stem principally from desire
to place the District on par with taxes which levied
on automobiles and gasoline in nearby States
No consideration is given the fact that conditions IN
the District insofar expenses to be met from automo-
bile taxes concerned vastly different than those
prevailing in Maryland and Virginia.
Expenses of maintaining streets in compactly built
city of limited such Washington can scarcely be
placed par with the expenses of building and main
tanning roads through sparsey populated such as
are found in many parts of Maryland and Virginia.
When it be shown to reasonable men that there is
any necessity of hiking the local gasoline or automobile
taxes order to meet the legitimate needs to which rev
enues from those taxes limited, then Washington
motorists will accept an increase in the burden.
UNTIL IT is SHOWN, HOWEVER, THESE NEW
AND ADDITIONAL TAXES SHOULD BE FOUGHT
WITH ALL THE VIGOR THAT DECENT CITIZENS
CAN COMMAND.

$4,000 Americans
Should Be Given Vote

(EUening Post, Charleston, S. c..
NoD. II, 1856
Residents of the District of Co
lumbia have long sought the right
of representation in their Govern
ment and are continuing a vigor,
GUS fight for enfranchisement
with the hope that a Constitutions
amendment which they are seek
ing, aimed to correct a palpable
wrong, will be proposed by the
next Congress for submission to
the States. Their political status
now is such that they have nc
vote, no voice in the affairs OF
the National Government which
makes their laws and appropriates
the funds for the support Of the
District that for the greater o;,rt
come from their own taxation
Congress is being petitioned fol-
action that will, with the backing
of sufficient number of States
eventually afford the residents OF
the District of Columbia deeply de
sired voting representation in Con
gress and among the electors OF
President and Vice President, and
the same rights to sue and be sued
in courts of the United States as
are possessed by the citizens OF a
State.
Friends of the movement for en-
franchising the people of the Dis,
trict, in urging the business OF
their appeal, point to population
that exceeds that of eight States
and a voting-age population greater
than that of 10 States. There were
Is States also which paid indivld'
ually during the past fiscal year
less in national taxes than the
District of Columbia and nine
! States which made a combined
payment in such taxes that was
less than was made by the District
residents. During the World War
the District sent more men 20 the
colors than any one of II States
although unrepresented in the
body which declared war and
prosecuted it.
Required to assume all the obi
cations of citizens of the United
States, the residents of the District
of Columbia are entitled to bs
given representation in its Govern
ment, a matter of fair play that
must appeal to the legislators Of
the States when they are asked tt
act upon it, and Congress shoulc
make such action possible.

WHERE THERE'S SMOKE

At 8 o'clock this afternoon the
Democrats will meet to settle the
long fight as to who will be
majority leader in the House.
But just to tighten the atmos-
phere between the two main con-
tenders, Representative John j.
O'Connor and Representative Sam
Rayburn have been extended inVl-
tations to attend a luncheon to be
given at noon by the Press Club
IN honor of the Vice President.
Perhaps the newsmen are ex-
pecting to see some prediction
fireworks. And if you don't think
it's a hot fight-listen:
