Summers Amendment Supported
By League of Women Voters,

By League of Women Voters.
While the general board of the
National League of Women Vot-
ers was in session in this city
recently it was announced that
it favored the passage by Con-
gress of the Summers amend
ment to the Constitution of the
United States. This proposed
amendment is embodied in House
Joint Resolution No. 257 and now
pending before the Committee
on the Judiciary of the House Of
Representatives.
Under such amendment Con-
gress would have power to pro-
vide the District people with
representation in Congress and
the electoral college no greater
than that of the people of the
States and to delegate to such
Government as Congress may
establish in the District any or
all of its power over said District.
1t also provides District citizens
with the same access to the
courts of the United States as
If they were the citizens of a
State.
So far this proposal, with the
single exception Of the confer
ring Of power on a local govern
ment, is in effect similar to the
Capper-Norton resolution. There
Is a pronounced difference in the
second section to any other
proposal to grant national repre-
sentation to the District.
The section in question provides
that: "All legislation hereunder
shall be subject to amendment
and repeal: Provided, That no
amendment or repeal shall affect
the Office of a Senator or Repre-
sentative during the time for
which he was elected"
This means that any laws
passed by Congress under the
authority of the amendment
might be amended or, repealed
but without affecting the status
of a Senator or a Representative
from the District. Such q provi-
sion may not be necessary, but
was included to satisfy some
members Of Congress who fear
that elections in the District
might not work out satisfactorily
for the District. In such an event
they desire definite assurance
that the power Of Congress has

Edward Bruce Denies
Resiqninq Arts Post

Edward Bruce, chief of the fine
arts section, Public Buildings Ad-
ministration, Federal Works Agency,
denied in a statement yesterday a
report that he had rendered his
resignation.
Mr.. Bruce added that he had no
intention of resigning and Federal
Works Administrator John M. Car
mody had given him IAN extra
ordinary amount of time and wise
advice" in building up the section's S
art program.
IT have every reason to believe -
said Mr.. Bruce, that the plans we
have discussed will, in the long run,
be a great help to a national art
program and enable us to accom-
phsh what Secretary and Mrs.
Morgenthau started out to accom-
plish when they initiated this great
work"
Mr.. Bruce also made public copy
of letter he had written Admins
traitor Carmody in which the art di-
rector expressed his appreciation for
Mr.. Carmody's interest and added:
"The exhibition which we have
been holding at the Corcoran Gal
lery Of Art has been successful be-
yond my fondest dreams, and the
country has, as whole, recognized
that there is a great renaissance
of art going on and that the Presi-
dent and Secretary Morgenthau
have accomplished more in the last
five years than has been accom-.
pished in years for the advance
ment of art"

Government and q limitation
upon the tax levying powers the
system might operate to the seri-
Gus disadvantage of the District
taxpayers.
The Organic Act Of 1878 gave
the Commissioners the authority
to annually fix the tax rate on
real and personal property but
restricted them to a maximum of
$3.50 per sl00 of assessed value.
But this act recognized as a prin-
ciple that the primary obligation
for the support of the National
Capital rested upon the United
States. That act required that
there should be appropriated out
of the Federal funds one-half of
the amount of the approved esti-
mates and the remaining half of
such approved estimates should
be levied and assessed upon the
taxable property and privileges
other than the property of the
United States and the District Of
Columbia.
With no fixed plan for the
fiscal relations between the gov
ernments OF the United States
and the District there is no pro-
lection whatever afforded the
impotent partner from the all
powerful partner. There is no
definite assurance that the Con-
gress will provide any payment
by the Federal Government to-
ward the costs of running and
developing the Capital City.
If Congress should omit to pro-
vide for any payment and the
District Commissioners were en-
powered and required, without
limitation, to levy taxes to meet
the total appropriation. the Dis
trict would surely be "on its
own" There are those among
the civic workers who every now
and then break out and want to
have the District run all of its
own affairs but to pass up the
share, which is a just obligation
of the Nation, would be a high
price to pay and of doubtful ad-
vantage.
In any event there is a decided
need for the enactment of the
Overton plan or one that is
equally fair. To know what
Uncle Sam is going to chip in
for the support of his Capital
City is essential as a beginning of
either budget making or taxation.
The District also absolutely needs
the protection.

Lusk Sees Possibility
OF Reducing District
Fire Fighting Force
Letter to Tonsey Group
Suggests Sovinss by
Reeroupine Stotions

Reduction in the force Of the Dis
trict Fire Department was seen yes
terday by Rufus 8. Lusk, president
Of the Washington Taxpayers Asso-
citation, as one possibility under
current plans for lessening the num-
Der Of fire stations, through relo-
cations and consultations.
In a letter to Capt. Patrick H.
Tansey, Assistant Engineer Com
missioner, chairman of the special
group assigned to survey physical
reorganization of the Fire Depart
ment. Mr.. Lusk also urged careful
consideration Of possibilities OF Gre
attng combination fire and police
stations.
Marshal's Stan Increase.
While stressing the idea that the
Fire Department force might be
reduced without reducing fire pro-
lection, Mr.. Lusk urged an increase
In the stad of the District fire mar
shall for extension of fire preven-
ton services, He declared the re.
orRanlzation survey. now nearing
completion, should be no excuse for
any increase in fire insurance pre-
miums in the District.
Mr.. Lusk made four specific sug-
gestions:
/. That since some of the sta
tions which may be eliminated are
In parts Of the town where property
values are high, the District should
sell these properties when a proper
offer is made and not keep them for
use as "storehouses and whatnot."
1t is understood such a suggestion Is
favored by the survey group. Mr..
Lusk argued that by such q step
enough money might be raised to
build new stations or additions to
those involved in consolidation
plans.
Stations in New Areas.
2. That consideration should be
given to planning combination fire
and police stations in newly devel-
oped sections of the city. He illus
trated possibilities by citing that
a police station had been built
within three blocks Of the fire sta
ton in Tenleytown. Plans said to
have the approval of the Tansey
Committee call for two combination
station arrangements, one in George
town and one at the Police and Fire
Pier on the water front.
3. That because of the great
financial importance of hre-pre-
vention work, there Is no reason
why private dwellings should not be
made subject to required inspection
services; that the staff Of the fire
marshal should be enlarged to per-
NIT expansion Of hre-prevention
work.
4. That as vacancies occur in the
Police Department, younger fire.
men who are fitted for police work
should be given opportunity to join
that department.

Aztec Club Marks
92d Anniversary
With Banquet
Gen. George c. Marshall
Was Honor Guest and
Principal Speaker

The Aztec Club, composed of de-
scendants Of veterans of the Mexi-
can War, celebrated its 92nd ami
versary with a banquet last night
at which leaders of the Army, Navy
and Marine Corps helped out with
the reminiscing.
Gen. George C. Marshall, chief of
staff of the Army, was guest Of
honor and principal speaker at the
dinner, held at the Army and Navy
Club. He paid tribute to the Amer
leans who fought in the Mexican
campaign, saying the Army at that
time gave "a more perfect perform
ance" than In any engagement be-
fore or since.
Other honored guests and speak
ers included Rear Admiral Mont
gomery Meigs Taylor, a descendant
of Gen. Zachary Taylor, and Maj.
Gen. James c. Breckinridge, U. S.
Marine Corps. The speakers were
introduced by Col. Edgar E. Hume,
U. S. A., who presided as president
of the club.
Represented at the banquet were
the Society of the Cincinnati, whose
Maryland chapter sent its vice
president, William M. Beall; Sons
of the American Revolution, with
its president, Chalmers Mcconnell,
present, and the Society Of the War
of 1912.
Brig. Gen. Lorenzo D. Gasser,

and Brig. Gen. Albert Cox, COM
mander of the District National
Guard, also attended and spoke
briefly.
In addition to Col Hume, other
officers of the club present were

dent; Conway B. Hunt, secretary,
and Leonard L. Nicholson, jr.,
treasurer.
Col. John P. Hains and Mr..
Nicholson composed the committee
which made the arrangements.

Milk has engaged the at
tention of some of the Dis
trict residents during the past
week. A representative of the
Department of Agriculture has
been holding hearings, as previ-
ously scheduled. at Warrenton.
Va; Frederick, Md, and in this
city It is not yet apparent
what effect it will have on the
retail price of milk in Washing
ton. The department is under
stood to be particularly inter-
ested in the producers getting a
proper price for their product
but any resulting price will have
in mind the interests of the con-
sumner as well.
There Is rejoicing in the civic
ranks and the National Guard
in the decision that the new
armory at the foot of East
Capitol street will be built Of
stone The use of stone is sup
posed to set the style for other
structures which will, through
the coming years, grace that i'm
portant axis of the city.
Already some of the associa-
tions in the eastern section of the
city are passing resolutions urging
the erection of an East Capt.
tol street bridge over the Ana
costa River. There are other
bridges proposed over this river
which are believed to take prece-
dence over East Capitol street.
An event of the week was the
dedication, with appropriate exer-
cises, on Tuesday evening of the
new Morgue. This important
municipal structure is located on
the grounds of Gallinger Hos
pital and supplants the gruesome
old makeshift structure on the
water front. The new building is
modern in every way and a credit
to the District.
The Community Chest cam
paign continued through the
week. Wednesday was the day
set for the completion of this
important job but found only 88
per cent of the required $4,000, 900
pledged. The time was extended
until Tuesday, November % with
the hope that the full amount
would be reached. There has
been a vast amount of self
sacrificing work done by a large
number of the public spirited
citizens. Business has been
pushed aside to render this COM
munity service. 1t has been a
hard job accompanied by many
discouragements but every one
who has had a hand in the work
for the Community Chest has be-
come better citizen thereby.
Tomorrow the Commissioners
will begin the hearing of the
citizens on the plans for the re-
organization of the District gov
ernment. Upon completion of the
hearing the Commissioners will
formulate their report to the
House subcommittee, of which

What Benefit From
Local Power to Levy Taxes.

ITO levy, assess, collect and
adjust taxes" is one of the pro-
posed powers for the Commis-
sioners of the District of Colum-
bia under the Seal plan for a re-
organization or revamping of the
District government. Upon this
proposal the kitchen cabinet" is
evenly divided. Mr.. Keech con-
ours in the Seal proposal and
both Maj. Donovan and Capt.
Whitehurst dissent. These gen.
tlemen are of the opinion that
this grant of authority should not
be included in the plan.
There Is not available the rea-
sons of these officials supporting
the dissenting opinion. A care
full study of the problem, how
ever, indicates that unless
these powers were reinforced by
a definite undertaking of f1nan-
cial responsibility by the Federal
