Second Of o Series

Second Of Series
next week that the median in
come is declining in Washington.
as higher-income residents de-
camp to the suburbs.
And, the lower the average
Washingtonian's income, the
more demand he makes on ex-
pensive. publicity financed well
fare and health services,
Recent figures showed the
median income in Washington
as $2,975, with 5 per cent-or
$151.19-figured as the yearly
tax burden on each man, woman
and child in Washington.
BY comparison. Arlington
County has a median income of
$3.50 with a 90 per cent per
capita tax burden of $102.38;
Montgomery County's median
income was $5,005, with a "a
per cent per capita tax burden
of $124.46.
If u. S. Were Taxed.
Also, the argument will point
out, if the Federal Government
paid as much in taxes as any
major industry-whose place it
takes in Washington--the rev.
enue to the District would be
twice what it is now-$40 mil
lion. year.
This would be about 80 per
cent of the Districts General
Fund budget, which finances
every municipal expense in
Washington except highways,
water works, sanitary sewers
and motor vehicle parking
facilities.
Although Congress has put up
as much as so per cent of that
cost-which it promised to do
when it wiped out local self
government and took over all
power in the city-the Federal
share has gone as low as 8.6
per cent and now stands at only
about IS per cent-$20 million
a year.
For 100 years now, debate has
been periodic over how much
the Federal Government should
pay toward the cost Of running
a capital it set up for its own
purposes, where it has exclusive
control and which exists only to
serve the Federal Government
and the people who work for it.
Virtually No Industry
The main trouble is that
aside from the untaxable Federal
Government-there Is virtually
no industry in the District. And.
in the average community, in
dustry carries nearly half the
tax burden.
Over the years, District Off
Gals have had to explain the
reasons for a Federal payment
repeatedly to the constant stream
of new lawmakers joining the
Congress.
The first statement Of such
reasons was laid down 100 years
ago in a congressional investi-
cation, which took place when
the Capital City went bankrupt.
Reasons Still Valid
Many of the reasons. then, are
pretty old, but still are painfully
valid. With time new ones have
been added. In summary, here

The Financial Crisis We Face
The Financial Crisis We Face
Taxable Incomes in D. G. Drop,
AcceIeroting Vicious Circle
Government Will Be Requested to Pay
At Rate Comparable to Privute Industry

are the reasons District officials
say the Federal Government
should pay its share of running
its Capital City:
/. Washington is the National
Capital, created by the Federal
Government for its own pur-
poses, and Congress has complete
power. Where the authority lies,
there responsibility should be.
Q. Washington taxpayers have
no voice and no vote in levying
or spending their taxes.
8. High-taxpaying industry is
unwelcome because it would
mar the beauty of the Nations
Capital.
4. Zoning for the Capital keeps
down population density and
limits the size of buildings. This
prevents the development here
of any Washington Wall street
and the taxes it might pay.
1dX-EXempL Ldnu
S. Only Al per cent of Wash
ington's land is taxable. The
rest, of which the Federal Gov
eminent owns % per cent, pays
nothing, nor do the many foreign
embassies and legations. which
are here because this is the Capt.
tai City. as are the non-taxable
headquarters of many churches
and other organizations like the
Red Cross. There is more than
twice as much tax-eXempt real
estate here as in the average
American city.
6. All municipal construction
must be monumental" and ex-
pensive to make bridges, courts
and other buildings suit the dig
nifty of the Capital.
7. Under the Constitution,
Washington cannot expand, as
other cities can, and annex its
growing suburbs. where higher
taxpayers are already moving.
8. Expansion of Washington's
population-and city services
is a result of expansion of the
Federal Government itself.
9. "Loopholes" in the city's
tax structure, built in by Con-
gress, hamstring District tax col
lectors. Some 20-year residents,
for example, who still pay in
come taxes in their home States,
can offset them against District
taxes so that they pay nothing
here.
10. The District, filling the
functions of city, county and
State, has wide variety of
taxes. On a per capita basis,
they weigh heavily on the indi-
vidual taxpayer, and If the per
capita tax load exceeds that in
suburban Maryland and Vir-
ginia, more residents will be
driven out Of the District and
its taxing jurisdiction.
II. Taxes that, like those in
other cities. would tap nom
resident workers have little
chance of being approved by
Congress, where the nonresi-
dents have representation and
District taxpayers do not.
IL. Unlike the Federal Gov
ernment-and many city govern
ments-the District cannot re-
capture in taxes any part of
salary increases granted to its
own nonresident employees.
10. District taxes, once levied,
must be paid year after year.
Unlike Congress, the taxpayers
cannot decide annually whether
they will pay their share.
Persuasiveness of the argu-
ments, of course, will meet their
final test in Congress, where all
such issues are settled here.

Cos Storage Bill Dead
As of Tomorrow

ANNAPOLIS. Mar. 31.-A bill
to authorize the storage of nat
ural gas in vast underground
reservoirs in Maryland was
slated to be killed today in the
Senate judicial Proceedings Com
mittee.
Senator H. Winship Wheatley,
jr., said last night the bill would
not come out of committee and
would be dead as of tomorrow"
The measure, already given an
unfavorable report on a 6-to-4
vote in committee. has no chance
of passage out of committee, ac-
cording to Chairman Frederick
C. Malkus, jr.
Senator Wheatley, who with
Senator Edward S. Northrop,
Democrat. of Montgomery, spon-
sored the measure. has been I'M
der strong pressure from both
sides.
The Washington Gas Light Co.
repeatedly already has options
on 10 per cent Of the UNDER
ground rights for proposed
3,500-acre storage facility in the
Brandywine section of Southern
Prince Georges County. The
firm says the storage would
mean a cut in gas rates in the
Washington area.

WheatIey Hits
House Snag on
Planning Bill
Delegation Opposes
His Exemptions
In Merit System
BY CHARLES L. HOFFMAN
Star stan Correspondent

star olAu Correspondent
ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 31.-The
Prince Georges delegation and
Senator Wheatley were at odds
last night, as this session Of
the Legislature entered its final
days.
The delegation refused to
concur in bills amended in the
Senate by Senator H. Winship
Wheatley, jr.. and asked the
Senate to recede from its posi-
ton.
The Senator moved a bill
through the Upper House to pro-
vide for a merit system for
Maryland-N National Capital Park
and Planning Commission en-
ployes. But he attached an
amendment to exempt the di-
rector of planning. parks director
and planning engineers.
Both Delegations Opposed
Both the Montgomery and
Prince Georges delegations, are
opposed to the change.
The Senator also aroused the
ire of his delegation when he
amended bill to authorize spe-
cial taxing areas in the county
to handle suburban services.
His amendment would restrict
these services to street lighting,
trash collection and street
cleaning. The delegation wants
those services listed only as ex-
amples.
The dispute could jeopardize
a number of Prince Georges
measures, including one to
transfer juvenile court authority
from the trial magistrate to the
Circuit Court.
The delegation has amended
its bill to postpone the effective
date until next year to meet bar
association and reported Cir
cult Court objections. Another
bill would provide for a bond
issue to finance an addition to
the courthouse.
Pushes Is Bills Through
Senator Wheatley, during the
last two days. has pushed
through the Senate to enact
ment more than IS bills in
PRODUCED originally by the dele
cation
Among those enacted yester-
day were four affecting fire tax
areas in the county, another
increasing salary of assessment
supervisor Louis Hutch and
give him a field supervisor, and
one providing for special as
sessments on AUDITING property
owners to finance street i'm.
proVement projects.
Also enacted were bills ex.
tending the Washington Sub
ufoan Sanitary District in Prince
Georges County and in the
GaltherSburg and Cabin John
valley areas in MONTGOMERY.
The latter area of expansion is
only about one third that orig
inally proposed.
Also enacted was a measure
sponsored by Delegate Mar
garet c. Schweinhaut, Democrat
OF Montgomery, to lower the
minimum tax rate in Chevy
Chase Section 5 from 20 cents
to 10 cents.
Another bill sponsored by Mrs,
Schweinhaut, calling for crea-
ton OF a youth forestry camp
Tor delinquent minors, also was
enacted by the Senate.

Leaf Compost Pile
Helps FertiIize

Don't burn those fallen leaves.
Turn them into compost for your
garden next year, according to the
Agricultural Extension Office.
E. L. Drollinger, extension spec
ialist in vegetable gardening at
Ohio State University, says leaves
make excellent compost which, if
properly handled, should be well
decomposed in about six months.
That means you can use the COM
post as topdressing for your gar
den in 1856. Most garden residue,
like tomato vines and corn stalks
can be added to the compost pile.
Put down an 8 inch layer or
leaves. Pack them and over the
layer spread about 3 cups of good
commercial fertilizer and 2s cup
of limestone for each bushel of
leaves. Water thoroughly and add
an inch of good soil. Repeat the
process with alternate layers of
leaves and soil until the pile is a
or 5 feet high.
Turning and mixing the compost
will hasten decomposition. Occa-
sional watering in periods of dry
weather also will help.
Compost will add two things to
your garden soil. plant food and
organic matter. The latter helps
make soil easier to work. 1t also
increases the soils ability to hold
water and plant nutrients.
