q teaspoon salt
tablespoons sugar

2 tablespoons butter
l cup finely chopped apples
l egg

- teaspoon cinnamon
II apple slices
Mix flour, salt, baking powder
and half of the sugar. Cut in the
butter with a fork. Add chopped
apples, mix. Lightly and quickly

Drop by spoonfuls in CREASED muf-

and Arguments on National Presented Conq

I enjoy the same national representa-
ton as that enjoyed by all other
cities of the Nation.
Washington will cease to be the
only American community-numer-
Gus intelligent, prosperous, public
| spirited and patriotic-in all the
expanse Of continental and con-
tiguous United States whose fitness
to exercise national privileges as
we'll as to bear NATIONAL burdens is
denied.
National representation will
clothe the Washingtonian with a
vital American privilege to which he
is undeniably in equity entitled; will
cleanse him Of the stigma and stain
OF un-Americanism, and curing MS
political impotency, will arm him
with a certain power.
1T will relieve the Nation of the
shame of -Americanism at It's
heart and of impotency to cure this
evil.
1T will inflict no injury or hard
ship upon either Nation or Capital
to counteract these benefits"
This report applies with even
greater force today in support of
National Representation for the
District of Columbia as proposed
In the Sumners-Capper amendment
and Is supported by the facts on
which that report was based.
Encouraging progress has recently
been made in the campaign to cor
rect this unjust and injurious dis
elimination against District resi-
dents. The Democratic presidential
nominating convention of 1910 in
serted as one plank in it's platform:
We also favor the extension of the
right OF suffrage to the people of the
District of Columbia"
Many leaders of both parties in
both houses of Congress have very
recently verbally declared in favor
OF empowering Congress to grant
national representation to the peo-
pie OF the District of Columbia.

House Of Representatives reported

the Nation. The only national taxes
that fall directly and in ascertain
able amounts upon the Americans
are the internal revenue taxes, in
cluding income, excise and other
miscellaneous taxes. In the fiscal
year 1939-40 the District OF Colum-
bia contributed to these taxes $40
1872 ,784' exceeding twenty-one Of the
States, though it exceeded in popu-
lation only twelve of them. Its con-
tribution was $1,479,711 greater than
those Of seven of the States COM
bined. Those seven States are rep
resented by twenty-four Senators
and Representatives who are par
ticipating in the decisions as to how
this money is to be spent.
T'This amount omits pay roll
taxes collections under the Social
Security and Carrier Acts( because
these so-called taxes are trust
fund for the objects of these acts.
and are not paid for the support of
the Federal Government.l
Washingtonians have risked life
and shed their blood in every ma
tional war. In the Civil War the
first volunteers came from the Cap
ital, and Washingtonians supplied
a greater percentage of troops in
excess of their quota than nearly
every State in the Union. The Dis
trict was also a heavy contributor
to the man-power of the Confed-
crate Army. In the war with Spain
they sent to Cuba fine regiment. ex-
ceeding their quota in numbers. The
same response was made when the
summons to the Mexican border
came. At that time the percentage
of men of military age enrolled in
the Organized Militia was greater
in the District than in any State
of the Union. Washington sent more
soldiers to the border than twenty
two of the States.
In the World War no other Amer
ican community responded more en-
Enthusiastically and effectively to the
call to arms and universal service
| They were eager volunteers OF
money for war through the Red
Cross and other agencies, and OF
personal service through enlistment
in Army, Navy, National Guard or
Home Defense League. They showed
patriatic readiness to bear the bur-
den of conscription, whether in the
shape OF taxes imposed on lines
which caused the District OF Co.
lumbia I918-19) to contribute more
than any one OF fifteen OF the States
and more than Ave Of the States
combined: or In the shape Of uni
versal personal service and the Sc
lective draft.
In the World War the District Of
Columbia has made a record OF
which the Nation should be proud
The total voluntary enlistments in
the Army. Navy and Marine Corps
for the District was 8.3l4. a num-
Der greater than that in seven
States, viz, Nevada, Delaware, Ari-

declared In forms accepted as self
evident truths, such as that gov
ernments derive their just powers
from the consent of the governed
and taxation without representa-
ton Is tyranny" Self-government
is accomplished by the election by
the people of those who make and
administer laws.
The exception made with respect
to the people at the seat of its
Government was not because the
principle is unsOund or naturally
admits of exceptions, but because
the paramount interest of the Ma
tiOnaI Government required that 1t
be supreme at the seat of Its Gov
ernment, to the exclusion of any
State or local sovereignty. Inasmuch
as the national interest is the sole
reason for excepting the District Of
Columbia from the otherwise uni
versal rule of disagreement, it
follows that the people of the Dis
trict should have such participation
In their government as does not
conflict with the national interest.
No impairment of national inter-
est would result from participation
by the people of the District in the
National Government. None would
result from participa ton in a local
government provided the national
Congress retains the power to revoke
such control as may be delegated
to local government.
Constitutional amendment is nee
eSSary because there is now no
power in Congress to provide for the
people Of the District representation
in the national legislature, Con-
gresS, or in the election of the Chief
Executive. People of States have no
greater participation in the National
Government than this and the pro-
posed amendment therefore makes
possible the grant TO the people of
the District participation in the
National Government to the full
extent of that now had by the
people of the States.
The proposed amendment gives to
citizens of the District the same
access to Federal courts on the
ground Of diversity of citizenship
now had by citizens of States.
For the people of the District to
participate IN national elections re-
quires two steps: First, the adoption
of an enabling amendment to the
Constitution, and, second, the enact
ment of legislation granting ma
tional representation For the adop-
ton of the amendment the con-
currence of two-thirds of each house
of Congress and ratification by the
legislatures of three-fourths of the
States is necessary. whereas for the
enactment of legislation granting
national representation, after an
amendment shall have been ratified,
no more than a majority of Con-
gress need agree.
