PEARSON AND ALLEN
WIN IN SUIT APPEAL
Magazine Publishers Not Entitled
to Recover Plagiarism
DAMAGES. Court Saws.

The United States Court of Ap-
peals held that the Washington Pub

damages from Drew Pearson and
Robert S. Allen, co-authors Of the
book, More Merry Go Round" for
the alleged plagiarism of an article

The publishing company charged
that one chapter Of More Merry-Go-
Round" included material which was
practically identical with an article
in the Washingtonian, written by Lin

In an opinion written by Associ-
ate Justice Justin Miller, the Appel

ferred the case to the auditor to fix
damages. The Appellate Courts de-
cision, however holds that the pub

At the hearing in support of the
amendment . great wealth Of facts
and figures was presented on the
point Of the Districts present fitness
which impressed your committee and
which, in substance, we submit for
your consideration.
That the District of Columbia is en-
titled at the present time to partici-
pate in the councils Of the Nation
through its chosen representatives is
suggested by the following facts:
Population.
The census for the year 1920 gives
the population of the District of Co.
lumbia as 437,571, which exceeded
that of any one of seven States,
namely:
Evening star., 1938-04-25

These estimates show South Dakota
with $4,000 and Rhode Island with
6Sl, 900 are only slightly above the Dis
trict in population.
Federal Taxes.
The impression still exists among
some that the citizens of the District
are subject to the bounty of Congress
and that they contribute little or
nothing to the maintenance of the
Federal Government. The same i'm
preston is sometimes evidenced in the
discussions in the halls Of Congress.
Mote: Latest figures have been SUBJ
stituted for those in the Senate report.)
The official records of the Treasury
Department show that there was paid
by the citizens Of the District Of Co.
lumbia to the Federal Government for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1896, in
income, excise and other miscellaneous
internal revenue $l7,322,922, which
amount was greater than the aggre-
gate Of similar taxes paid by the nine
following States: Mississippi, Arkan-
sas. South Dakota, North Dakota,
Idaho, Arizona, New Mexico, Vermont
and Wyoming.
These States, combined, paid in such
national taxes $15,762, ,929 and sent to
the National Legislature ~ men to
vote for them concerning the amount
and kind Of taxes they should pay and
how the tax money should be spent.
The District Of Columbia contributed
in national taxes 1882, ,92e and was
permitted to send no representatives
to the National Legislature to par
ticipate in saying how the tax money
should be raised and spent The same
records show the Districts payment Of
these taxes to be in excess of the
amount collected from each of Is
States. The following tabulation
shows the taxes paid by each of these
States with the number of electoral
