Holman Would Limit
Those Voting Here on
New District System
Taxpayers and Five Year
Residents Would Ballot;
Trunsients' Excluded
BY JAMES f. CHINN.

Senator Holman. Republican,
OF Oregon revealed today his plan
to give the disfranchised resi-
dents of the District the privilege
Of going to a ballot box to decide
whether they want a change in
the present commission form of
municipal government, would
limit the voters to taxpayers here
and those who have actually
lived in the city for five years or
more.
He said he did not want the
multitude Of transients' in Wash
ington to have anything to say about
the way in which the District gov
eminent should be run or about
selection OF the officials IN charge.
Senator Holman, who served as
chairman of special Senate subcom-
mlttee which recently completed an
investigation of Gallinger Hospital.
said he is making rapid progress in
drafting a resolution he intends to
introduce authorizing bona fide"
residents Of the District to decide
whether they are satisfied with the
present municipal government set
up.
Citizenship Defined.

the District. 1t would embrace per-

in the city for at least five coneecu-
tive years and do not claim resi-
denCe elsewhere.
Second, he said the resolution
would authorize by popular vote,
election of charter commission
whose members would set up the
election machinery, and be respon-
Slble to Congress for an official re-
port on the views of the majority
OF those who vote in the referendum
Senator Holman said he believed
the Gallinger Hospital inquiry
showed the need of reforms in the
District government. but he wanted
the bona fde' residents here to
decide for themselves whether they
want a change
Ballot Only Means
Only through the ballot box. he
declared, can the now voiceless peo-
pie of the District fully express their
views.

fools contest: what e'er is best ad-
mlnistered is best yet just govern
ments derive their just powers from
the consent Of the governed"
Aside from the suffrage resolu-
ton, Senator Holman is preparing
report for the Senate District
Committee containing his views as
to what is wrong at Gallinger'
and recommenda tions for improve
ments. The two other members OF
his ommittee-Senators Bush
fed of South Dakota and Buck OF
Delaware, both Republicans-also
are preparing individual reports on

The Wheeler amendment was ac-

when il was revised to REQUIRE
written statements of EMPLOYERS in

The Montanans amendment pro-

reasons why the man is regarded as

suggestion, but did not want the
