Where Teamwork Counts

The Commissioners evidently lack
the authority to 60 as far as the
health authorities would like to
have them 60 in dealing, through
regulations, with the current cpl
demlc Of rabies. The incident has
been used to illustrate. on the one
hand, the lack of real power by the
Commissioners to make routine mu-
nicipal regulations, and, on the
other, the involved machinery which
would require an act of Congress to
quarantine dogs on the owners
premises during an emergency or
permit them on the street only when
on the leash, as well as muzzled.
The incident is also illustrative of
the need to review many of the old
laws under which the Commits
sioners administer municipal affairs
and to substitute, for some of them,
general enabling legislation dele
eating to the Commissioners broad
powers of regulation. The statute
under which the Commissioners act
In dealing with the city's dog popu-
lation dates from 1878, and is a good
example of the detailed police regu-
lationS which cuStomarily were en-
acted for the District by Congress in
the past. Its provisions, while con-
sidered adequate for more than
siXty-flve years, are SO precise that
the Commissioners have no leeway
In their administration. They can
not go beyond what is written in the
book
But commendable progress has
been made in recent years in sub
stituting for these old statutes gem
eral enabling acts under which the
Commissioners can draw up their
own regulations to meet a current
need. The new laws dealing with
contagious diseases. inspection of
restaurants. building and rooming
house regulations, ETC., have got rid
OF many ancient and confusing
antiquities and at the same time
have delegated to the Commissioners
adequate regulatory authority in
such fields. The way to relieve Con-
gress of burdensome detail in local
legislation is to enact more enabling
legislation of the same sort.
AS House Leader Mccormack told
his colleagues the other day, there
has been notable Improvement in
the expeditions handling of District
legislation on the floor in the past
two or three years. This has been
due, in large measure, to the fact
stressed by MI. Mccormack: The
leadership on both sides recognizes
that while we are members of Con-
gresS we are also members of the
legislative body of the District of
Columbia and that that is quite a
serious trust There has been a
growing disposition in Congress to-
ward constructive teamwork with
the commissioners, and this is the
attitude which will accomplish far
more, for Washington, than the con-
slant friction and criticism which
for so many years marked the rela-
tionship between Congress and the
local community.
The Star, for one, is conscious of
Mr.. McCormack's personal contribu-
ton toward making his colleagues
more aware Of their double obliga-
ton to the people of the District
as members of Congress and as
members of the Districts local legis-
lature. When this latter obligation
is realized in full, great many
sources of misunderstanding and
perpetual pickering will have been
removed.

INCOME TAX BLUES

AS Americans again wrestle
with income tax blanks, some
finding the September Is form
(Which only few eXpected) rot
80 simple as the Treasury would
have them believe, the cry again
arises for simplification.
This is a natural demand, but
one difficult of fulfillment. The
last tax bill in Congress was a
document o f some 500 pages,
containing for the most part only
amendments to the earlier rev.
enue acts. Most of these were
admittedly, incomprehensible to
all but experts, but they were
not put in the law to confuse.
They were put in because of the
general public and Congressional
demand for fair play.
Simpllfication means a blanket
levy, treating all taxpayers in
given income brackets alike. It's
when the exceptions are written
into the law that it becomes COM
plicated-the exceptions. for ex.
ample, that allow for those buy
ing house and paying taxes and
interest, or for those having chill
dren or so.called collateral depen-
dents; or exceptions for those
who have experienced financial
losses. The central law itself is
simple enough; it's the effort to
provide for all the exceptions
that complexities matters. And
when the tax bites deeply, as it
does now, these exceptions be.
come vitality important.
So, if you have to labor long
over the "simplifled' form, re-
member that it's only because
Uncle Sam is trying to give you
the opportunity to tailor your tax
bill individually so it will fit as
comfortably as possible.

"the right of free passage through the atmosphere
All the who flew around the world obtained
the right to traverse the countries their courses

this is what happened to a German military zeppe

fore the last war
Before the airpane came sovereignty of the air
was of no great moment The familiar doctrine that
