Canada's Barbara Ann Scott, now

today by the District OF Columbia
Chapter of the National Lawyers

In indorsing the home-rule bill,
the group offered several sugges-

/ included elimination OF the provi-
sion permitting either House to
override action of the City Council,
to pay members Of the City Council
$500 a year instead of $4,000,
and to bring the municipal court
system under the home rule
charter, permitting elected judges,
Objection to the sales tax was
voiced as "deviating from the
principle Of taxation according to
ability to pay and. instead, having
its heaviest economic incidence on
low income groups"
AS new reyenue-raising meas
ures. the group suggested that the
District be allowed to incur in
debtedness for capital outlays and
that the Federal Government give
a substantially increased contriou-
ton.
