What Jefferson Did for Country
Indicated by List of His Interests,
To the Editor Of The Star:
Thomas Jefferson is the Fourth Great
American. Not martyr like Lincoln nor
military commander like Washington
nor an all-round genius like Franklin, he
nevertheless stands with them at the
top of his country's roster of heroes
How rich and full was the Third Presi-
dents life may be appreciated from a
mere glance into the convenient index
of the Dictionary of American History.
There we meet him first as an architect
and critic of architecture; then as one
of the founders of the Nations Capital:
next as man of science making a study
OF the relics of ancient animals dis
covered at Big Bone Lick; thereafter as
bibliophile and a collector of books;
more significantly still as a sponsor Of
the movement of the American people
westward and as proponent Of agricul-
ture against unlimited industrial devel.
opment.
He is mentioned likewise for his in
terest in the separation of Church and
State and as a philosophic Deist. We
are reminded that he not only drafted
the Declaration of Independence but
gambled his life by signing it. We learn
of his concern for the Coast and Geodetic
Survey, the organization of q sound
money system, the publication of the
National Gazette, the invention Of plow
and better plan for cultivating potatoes
Jefferson, we are told, selected the
motto "E Pluribus Unum"; defended the
right of revolution; encouraged the Du
Points to manufacture powder; attacked
slavery and vaccination; campaigned
against the law of entail in Virginia;
decided upon the decimal system for
United States coins; fought long war
against the North African pirates; sent
Lewis and Clarke to explore the North
west; bought what nov are IA States
from France and tried also to purchase
Florida from Spain; was the father Of
the University Of Virginia and the much
changed Democratic Republican) party;
favored the district school system and
disapproved Of "entangling alliances:
refused to be subpoenaed; built navy;
thought lotteries were not necessarily
sinful; achieved the presidency by .
single vote; was stockholder In the
Bank Of North America and owned the
Natural Bridge Of Virginia; was prodi.
gious mathematician, yet because Of his
generosity died in debt and left his
property at Monticello In danger Of
seizlrs By his crsditorx Z.

The Exputrioted

tax case involving the question Of
domicile, Associate Justice Vinson in
the Court of Appeals dwells at some
length upon the considerations which
may prompt Federal employe to
retain his State citizenship while
residing in the District-in this par
ticular case, for twenty-seven years.
He says:
There may be an inherent urge in
man to retain allegiance to the State
of his birth or choice and to be
possessed of the privileges and re-
SponsibilitieS that come with being
domiciled in, and a citizen Of, that
State. Ofttimes 1t costs added dol
lars yearly to retain such privileges.
Many will not suffer expatriation.
Especially should this feeling be
recognized in the District of Colum-
bia where the battle for the rights
that go with State citizenship has
been waged through decades, and is
particularly acute in this era. Being
citizens of the United States is not
sufficient for those who fight val
iantly that citizens in the District of
Columbia be raised to the level of
citizens in the States, with the right
to vote and thereby to participate
actively in national and local gov
ernment, and the right to possess all
the privileges valued by citizens of
the States.
Justice Vinson is perfectly correct
in his suggestion that the desire Of
a citizen to retain his full voting
rights, by allegiance to his native
State, is better understood in the
District than in any other COM
munity Of the Nation. There are
hundreds of thousands Of District
citizens who by necessity, choice or
nativism have suffered what the
justice calls repatriation" by reason
of residence in the Capital of the
Nation. They sympathize with and
envy the citizen who retains his right
to vote and who enjoys the fruits of
the Declaration of independence.
They have no ambitions toward state
hood; they seek merely the funda-
mental rights of Americans to be
represented in their Government.
Their lack Of the right to vote,
incidentally, is merely one form Of
discrimination from which they
suffer. The citizen who maintains
some legal semblance Of domicile in
Florida (Which has no local income
taxi while making his lifelong resi-
dence and livelihood in the District
of Columbia, is, under the law,
exempt from the payment of District
income taxes. But let that same
citizen, retaining still his legal
domicile In Florida, move over the
line to Chevy Chase, Maryland, and
the voting citizens of Maryland justly
collect from him his share of the
Maryland income tax. Or let him,
living in the District, work in Gov
ernment department which has
moved its Offices to Maryland, and
he becomes liable to Maryland in
come tax. The enjoyment of the
privileges of State citizenship should
not relieve local resident of his tax
obligation at the expense of his vote
less fellow citizens of Washington.
Unfortunately, and unjustly, it does.

President Jefferson and
Wushinqton City

80 far this week has been distinctly
Jefferson week. Before and after his
birthday and the dedication of his
impressive memorial structure, hun
dreds of commentators have thor
oughly analyzed his opinions, his
characteristics, his attributes of
greatness; and in accordance with
our habit in dealing with our great
men, he is quoted on both sides of
some of today's national issues and
problems. Star articles refer to JEFF
ferson's part in creating and devel-
oping the National Capital, but to
complete the record in this respect
1t may be appropriate to quote some
Of Jeffersons specific, concrete ex-
pressions while President.
In his message to Congress, Janu-
ary II, 1902, Jefferson protests against
the hasty forced sale of the lots
donated to the Government by the
owners of the soil of Washington, a
contribution declared elsewhere by
Jefferson to be really noble" He
recognizes "a residuary interest of
the city" in these lots, pointing out
that If wisely handled they would
not only meet the national require
ments, but would insure consider
able surplus to the city to be en-
ployed for its improvement" He
added:
IF indulgence for the fund can
be admitted they will probably
form a resource of great and
permanent value, and their en-
barrassments have been produced
only by overstrained exertion to
provide accommodations for the
government of the Union"
Like George Washington, Jefferson
was anxious that the heritage, so to
speak, Of the ward Of the Nation in
land or money or residuary interest
or equitable obligations should not be
wasted BY an injudicious national
guardian Unfortunately, too little
heed was paid to these admonitions,
and the foundation was thereby laid
for the evils subsequently imposed
upon the District through national
neglect of its obligations, legal and
equitable, tn respect to the Nations
city. The Southard report of 1885
summarizes these national neglects
of original financial obligations.
Jefferson also suggests in this mes
sage national establishment for
education founded on an endowment
Of lands, his thought in this respect
coinciding with that Of George
Washington.
In his message, January "a, 1903,
Jefferson records the fact that the
marshal Of the District of Columbia
has, as directed by law, caused a jail
to be built dn part) in the city Of
Washington, and reports that "the
portion actually completed has rem
dered the situation of the persons
confined there much more comfort
able and secure than it has been
heretofore" The first municipal i'm
provement which figures in q Presi-
dents message is thus the Jail.
The people of Washington should
and do honor with special enthusi-
asm the memory of one who was and
Is not only a great man nationally
but who as part of his greatness had
a wise and sympathetic understand
Ing of the needs and grievances OF
the infant Capital.

On Lack of Ships and War Production

Comments on Lawrence's Article
On Lack of Ships and War Production.
To the Editor of The Star:
David Lawrence says lack Of ships
unbalances production. Then he quotes
CLOS Phil Murray as saying $4,000
war workers will be idle and, of these,
$4,000 will be aircraft workers. This,
he says, will be strange news to Mac
Arthur and Eisenhower. He also asserts
that we have produced more ordnance
than we need All this he blames first
on lack of ships, then on the President
for believing incompetent advisers and
for picking Nelson and Wilson without
the imprimatur of the National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers, the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States and the
union hierarchy.
What is his point? I am sure he
does not mean the President should be
infallible nor that the Chamber Of Com
merce nor the National Association Of
Manufacturers nor the unions have
been keeping quiet on their counsel all
this time and are holding out on Nelson
and Wilson.
How about his giving u some real

Letters to the Editor

ASKS 10 be "D1rected
To Surplus Purchasing Power"
To the Editor of The Star:
Would you be so kind as to direct me
to that surplus consumer purchasing
power" counter? I haven't been able to
find it.
For two years before the war bought
q $50 bond each month and got by"
very nicely. Then came the influx of
Federal employees and the demand for
"living space" Having been in search
of more permanent living quarters for
some time, I thought this was good
opportunity to be of help, so bought
house just outside of the District.
Well, that took all of my savings, in
cluding the bonds, and soon after
began to feel something closely resem-
bling a pinch"
Let's see! For exactly IL months now
first trust, second trust, furniture pay
ments, gas for heat and cooking, electric
lighting, water rent, telephone rent,
laundry, cleaning, garbage hauling, park
ing lot, grease and gas for car, United
States vehicle tax, auto tax, real estate
tax, income tax, life insurance, house
insurance, noon lunches-took all but
$13 Of my monthly income.
Out of that average of $13 per month
Of leftover" I've had to find some way
to "splurge around" for the following:
Food for two meals day, clothing, med
ical care, dental care, contributions, va
rious kinds of repair, including "hair-
mows," to say nothing of flowers for an
niversaries, amusements bond purchases
oh, yes, an occasional "bracer"
This week paid 80 cents for hash"
dinner that used to mick" me for about
apples, I merely looked at string beans
marked 80 cents I also passed by an
insignificant looking cauliflower that
wanted a home at IS cents and abso-
lutely refused to glance at chicken leg
that suggested an outlay of 40 cents Cts a
pound, plus some colored stamps.
Oh, yes, there was an increase in my
salary during those II months-15 per
cent on the first $4,000, believe-but
Uncle Sam stepped" on that before
could get my hands on it to the extent of
S per cent-not from my net, but from
my gross. OF course, III be satisfied if it
helps bring victory.
But I would like to find that surplus
