ton toward the Capital; Is sound in
principle and should prevail.
The adequacy Of Washington's
tax burden has been indicated by
every competent and unbiased tri-
bunal which has studied 1t, in
cluding the Joint Congressional
Committees Of 1915 and of 1922.
The national payment Of only 10
to Is per cent of the total District
appropriation is distinctly and gross
ly inadequate. It disregards the ma
tional obligation to pay:
/. In lieu of taxation of its $780,
000, 900 Of realty in the District;
2. In view of the damage which
Uncle Sam infiicts upon the Dis
trict by holding tax-exempt a vast
and increasing area of the District
while the city's maintenance and
development expense steadily in
creases;
3. In view of the Nations absolute
and exclusive legislative and finan-
cial control Of the city, since obliga-
ton follows power;
4. In view Of the national respon-
sibility to prevent the Nations City
from relApsing into its old-time
condition as a national shame and
to make It and continue 1t an OBJ
ject of national pride, as vigorously
advocated by some Of the Presi-
dents, climaxing for the present in
the eloquent and inspiring utter
ances of Presidents Coolidge and
Hoover;
S. In view of the many large COM
pulsory payments exacted from local
taxes, solely because Washington is
the Capital, in excess of what would
be paid if Washington were the Or
dinary commercial, self sustaining
community. as in financing national
parks in the District and our too
costly municipal center;
6. In view of the national obliga-
ton to consider justly in this con-
nection the heavy national Gnternal
revenue) taxes paid into the Treas
ury by the people of the Capital
compared with corresponding pay
ments by the States;
7. In view of the national obi
cation in equity to pay heavily for
Capital upbuilding in lieu of the
hundreds of millions of dollars in
grants, bounties and subsidies paid
by the Nation to the States, in a
distribution from which the Capital
has, until very recently, been barred,
and
8. In view of the excess of serv-
ices rendered by the city govern
ment to the National Government
over those rendered by the National

to the District, since it is thought
that the Supreme Court OF today
would, If the question came before
1t, construe the words of the Con-
stitution more literally than the
lower court did in the Van Rys-
wick case.
Single Proposition Favored.
The revocable provision in the
Summers and Kennedy proposals
and the words modifying the out
right grant Of "one or two Sen
ators" in the Capper- Norton amend
ment are provisions intended to re-
move obstacles to favorable action
in the Senate and House. 1t is de-
sirable that they be retained, II they
will have the effect of lessening op-
position.
If the groups represented by the
four amendments could get together
in single proposition by merger OF
by agreement upon the Summers
amendment, which is the latest pro-
posal and which seems to include all
Of the provisions In the other
amendments, action by Congress
upon the vital proposition would
probably be expedited.
The District in It's campaign for
fiscal equity will approach the jan
uary session Of Congress encouraged
by the step in that direction taken
by this Congress in its first session
when Senator Overton introduced
his bill to restore the definite, pro-
portionate contribution plan of ma
tional payment toward the expenses
of the District government. Senator
Overton proposed that the Nation
(Which includes the District) should
pay toward the expenses of the Cap
ital City that percentage of the total
appropriation which the land owned
by the Nation bears to the total area
Of the District. The Overton pro-
posal thus restored the definite pay
ment plan in substitution for the in
equitable lump-sum payment plan
in form which would substantially
increase the Nations annual pay
ment.
The House failed to assent to the
Overton plan, but did agree as q
result of the controversy to an in
crease of 1.0O0. 900 in the lump-sum
payment. Washington's forces will
now cooperate to renew the struggle
over the main issue in January
The Overton plan is moderate In its
claim in dollars upon national taxes,
to which the District contributes
more than one-half of the States.
1t is based upon only one of the
eight fiscal obligations of the Ma
Evening star., 1939-12-08

and shall be entitled to elect one or
two Senators and Representatives
who shall be entitled to the same
rights and privileges as the Repre-
sentative or Senator of q State. The
other three proposed amendments
grant to Congress the power to ad-
NIT District residents to such rep
resentation; and in respect to rep
resentation in the Senate, the
Capper-Norton amendment adds to
the power to elect one or two Sena-
tors the words "or such other rep
resentatives in the Senate as Con-
gress may provide for" The Sum-
ners amendment and the Kennedy
amendment modify the grant of
representation in the Senate by
making subject to amendment or re-
peal the laws that put into opera
ton this grant.
The Summers, the Kennedy and
the Randolph-Lewis amendments
give Congress the power to establish
the local government in the District
and to delegate all or any of its
power over such District to such
government; while the Capper-
Norton amendment has no provi-
sion in regard to a local govern
ment. All four amendments agree
in giving to Congress the power to
grant voting representation in the
House. The Capper- Norton, the
Kennedy and the Summers amend
ments give the same access to the
Federal Courts which is enjoyed by
the people of the States. The RAN
dolph-Lewis amendment makes no
provision on this subject.
All four amendments provide for
representation in the electoral COL
lege, but the Summers and Kennedy
amendments make revocable the
laws giving effect to this power,
and the Capper-N Norton amend
ment modifles the grant of presi-
dental electors equal in number to
their aggregate representation in
the House and Senate by adding
the words "or as Congress may pro-
vide"
The grant to Congress Of power to
delegate legislative power to a local
government is intended to offset the
decision of the Districts highest tri-
bunal Ivan Ryswick VS.. Roach,
Mack. & M. Gil D. c. I'LL that
Congress cannot delegate its power
OF exclusive general legislation and
to avoid the necessity of obtaining
a reversing or modifying decision by
the Supreme Court of the United
States. 1t Is natural but not abso-
lutely necessary part of constitu-
tional amendment to give fair play
