Roberts Discusses
d. 6. Government

= In a bantering attack on the
present form of District government
William E. Roberts, former peoples
counsel for the District, yesterday
decried the present Commissioner
system which must refer all matters
OF civic administration to Congress
and reproved the residents of the
District for being partly responsible
for the condition.
Mr.. Roberts spoke before a lunch
con meeting of the Woman's Ma
tional Democratic Club on the sub
ject, "The History, Present Struc-
ture and Cost Of the District Gov-
eminent"
Jumping back and forth between
the past and present, the speaker
drew some interesting anaIogies
to indicate the basic attitude of
the citizens of the District hasn't
changed much since the jackson
and Lincoln administration days.
AS Congress gradually took control
OF the government during the years
before and after the Civil War, the
residents Of the District became
more anxious to keep the home vote,
he said.
Mr.. Roberts blamed this psyche
logical trend of mind, in which now
as then lifetime residents still claim
they "are not residents OF the Dis
trict" as the basic difficulty which
must be overcome If action for self
government Is to be won.
