cord to any member Of Con-
gress. plus the extra special
consideration that goes with
service on the House and Sem
ate District Committees.
Some of the members,
though, feel their sense Of OBJ
legation seriously enough to
work hard at the politically
unrewarding chore Of being
city councilmen for Washing
ton.
How 1t Beeon
It all began 172 years ago
on June 81, 1888. when the
Continental Congress - then
meeting in Philadelphia-was
beset by a noisy mob Of unpaid
soldiers whom the financially
embarrassed Government was
trying to demobilize and send
home to wait for their money.
The Pennsylvania govern
ment refused to break up the
mutiny, SO Congress angrily
adjourned to Princeton, N. j..
and resolved ultimately to set
up it's own city where it should
have exclusive jurisdiction"
The same determination was
reflected in drafting Of the
Constitution four years later
when Congress was given pow
er to exercise exclusive legiS-
lation in all cases whatsoever"
over whatever should be chosen
as the Federal District.
When Congress officially
took over the District Of Co
lumbia in 1901 and cut the
area loose from Virginia and
Maryland, residents of the
District ceased to be citizens
of those States and automati-
cally lost the right to vote for
State Representatives and Sen
ators in Congress and for State
Representatives in the elec-
toral college.

Annual Home-RuIe Campaign Opens

Once again the biennial
campaign is under way to
win home rule" for Wash
ington.
If history offers any de-
pepdable guide to the future.
the current bill will be sent
whooping through the Senate
to falter and fail on the
breastworks of the House Dis
trict Committee.
This has been the graveyard
for most such measures and
probably will be again, for
the idea of local self-govern-
ment in the Nations Capt.
tai finds remarkably little
sympathy there.
This fact of political life is
normally blamed on the heavy
representation held by South
ern Democrats, who are ac-
cused of seeking to prevent
what they fear would be the
domination of the Capitals
municipal government by the
city's growing Negro popula-
tion.
Undoubtedly it is true in
large measure, especially with
the House under Democratic
control in the 84th Congress.
What undercuts the hopes Of
home-rule supporters, though,
is that many Northern Repub-
licans oppose the idea of local
self-government here, too.
Vorious Reasons
Their reasons vary, but one
common ground seems to be
the stubborn conviction that
Congress has a fit and proper
obligation to go on being the
city council for the Nations
Capital.
In some, this presumably is
mere vainglory and hot air.
They simply like the prestige
Of being big fish in a fairly

Route | Data
Studied by
Free State
By Alex R. Preston

Virginia's experience with
trucks on the Shirley highway
and a comparable stretch OF
Route / is being studied by
Maryland legislators now try
ing to decide whether to ban
the heavy vehicles from the
Baltimore parkway.
Latest figures from the Vir-
ginia Department Of Highways
show the accident rate Is 2.8
times higher on congested
Route / than on the Shirley
freeway between Alexandria
and Woodbridge.
Both arteries carry an al
most equal volume Of truck
and private vehicle trafiic.
Does this mean that the
total number of deaths would
rise If trucks are kept on the
Baltimore parkway?
Virginia's experience would
indicate so.
Last week, the Virginia De-
partment of Highways COM
piled accident figures disclos-
ing the picture for all OF 1853
the latest complete year for
which statistics are available.
Accident Rate Doto
The accident rate for each
100. million vehicle miles-re-
garded as the most accurate
indicator-was 500 on Route l
and 203 on Shirley highway.
The death rate was 20.5 on
Route / and 81 on Shirley:
the injury rate was 291 and
1913, respectively.
In the preceding year the
accident rate was nearly as
times higher on Route l.
Washington area motorists
who go to Baltimore have an
interest in the outcome OF the
fight now going on at Anna
polls.
It involves q bill Of Dele
gate Jerome Robinson. Demo-
crat, of Baltimore to bar trucks
from the 11-mile State-owned
stretch of the parkway nearest
Baltimore. The Federal Gov
ernment already prohibits
trucks on its 19.5-mile section
closest to Washington.
The Robinson bill was sent to
the State Senate last week
after clearing the House OF
Delegates by q scant 2-vote
margin.
Accident figures on the Shir-
ley highway and Route l in
Virginia were scrutinized
closely in hearings before q
Maryland House committee.
They probably will be ex-
amined again In the bitter
fight ahead.
But Virginia's statistics
seem to prove that-even with
trucks-there are fewer deaths
on q superhighway such as
the Baltimore parkway than
on the Baltimore boulevard

ANNAPOLIS.-Gov. Nickel
din's record budget for next
fiscal year-expected to total
about $3.50 millions due to
be dropped into the lap Of the
legislature Wednesday. and
the real work of this 90-day
session will get under way.
Everybody has a general idea
what the Republican Cover
nor's budget message will say.
He already has warned that
he will ask for a penny in
crease on the sales tax this
year, a withholding system for
the State income tax begin
ming July l, and a so per cent
increase in income taxes next
year. He needs all this, he has
said. to make up a $28.5 mil
lion difference between what
the State is expected to spend
and earn in the next fiscal
year.
Most members of this Demo-
cratic controlled Legislature
would rather have their pic
lures left out of the Maryland
Manual than raise all those
taxes. The Scent sales tax.
in particular, brings back
memories of the days when
Gov. Lane was showered with
pennies.
In this first month Of the
current session, all sorts Of
schemes have been discussed
as alternatives to the Cover
nor's drastic tax program
from the sublime "a graduated
income taxi to the ridiculous
"a tax on child birth to hold
down the birth rate and
thereby reduce State spend
ing).
There is some question
whether a graduated income
tax could be instituted in
Maryland without a constitu-
tional amendment, which
would delay it beyond a point
of being any help in the pres

ments in Georgetown and
Alexandria were continued,
however, and one was set UP
for the small City Of Wash
ington.
These were continued, ex-
cept for the portions given
back to Virginia in 1846, until
all local governments remain
ing in the District were con-
solidated into a single terri
torial form of government IN
1871.
When the District regime
went bankrupt in 1874, Con-
gress wiped out local self gov
ernment, took over the debt
and has run things ever since.
After 81 years. it still Is not
ready to let District residents
take another crack at running

And, Of course. even under
the current home-rule bill:
providing for an elected mayor.
council, school board and nom
voting delegate in the House
the real power would still lie
in Congress, which would have
overriding authority to legis-
late for the District or to veto
government decisions.
And, at last Thursdays Sen
ate hearing on home rule. the
District Commissioners in
jected the hardest question of
them all.
It is this: Should the Federal
Government pay to maintain
its Capital City as a beautiful
monument, or should the peo-
pie who happen to live here
pay the bill? Or how should
the costs be divided?
Chairman Neely of the Sem
ate District Committee, spon-
sor of the current bill, is still
waiting for a simple answer to
that one. He'd better not hold
his breath.

Income Tex Hike
Layman j. Redden, Caroline
County's State Senator, came
up with a proposal last week
to avoid raising the sales tax
by boosting the income tax
rate to 4 per cent instead OF
the 3 per cent proposed by the
Governor. Mr.. Redden would,
however, make the Q per cent

A cigarette tax has been re-

means of raising new revenue.

In search of fat.
II Mr.. McKeldin is as tight
listed with this budget as he
was last year, the Democratic
legislators are going to be dis
appointed. The 1854 Legisla-
ture cut less than 81 million
from q budget of more than
5000 million - and that only
by postponing some spending
projects. These will show up
in the IS budget. Even the
Democratic economy bloc had
to concede that the Governors
budget last year was tight.
It. should be remembered.
however. that the Governor
had two compelling reasons for
holding especially tight reins
on last years budget. For one
thing, he had been caught by
the Legislature the year before
with a loose budget and he
knew the Democrats were lay
ing for him, so to speak. In ad-
dition, it was election year and
he was holding all expenditures
within the bounds of antici-
pated revenues to avert politi-
cally unpopular tax increases.
Those two conditions do not
apply this year. It might be
assumed that once the Cover
nor made up his mind that
taxes would have to be raised,
there would be less pressure
throughout the Executive
Branch to trim spending.
If that be so, the Democratic
legislators - through a combi-
nation of budget cuts and
revenue-producing alternatives
may be able to somewhat
soften the impact Of the Gov
ernors severe tax-raise pro-
gram.

The argument Of tobacco
legislators, that higher priced
cigarettes would hurt sales,
rings false in the ears of most
tobacco addicts. One penny
a pack, incidentally, would
bring in an estimated Sc to 81

A more legitimate objection
to a State cigarette tax is
raised by county officials. who
want such a levy reserved for
local use. Baltimore City and

Transportation Study

A long-delayed study OF
Metropolitan Area passenger
carrying facilities - initiated
by Virginia a year ago-may
get under way at last as a
result of another develop
ment in the Free State last
week.
Maryland finally got around
to naming its representatives
on a trijurisdictional group
that is to look into the prob
lem.
Numerous proposals for
studies and regulatory agen-
cies have been placed before
Congress in recent years. But
nearby Virginia lawmakers
believe the best way to tackle
the question is at the grass
roots instead of at the top.
With that point of view, the
Virginia General Assembly
called for a commission Of
three members each from the
Old Dominion, Maryland and
the District.
The Maryland legislature
concurred and so did the Dis
trict Commissioners. The
Virginia and District members
were named, but only two Of
Maryland's three were ap-
pointed last year and one Of
them failed to get reelected
last fall.

sioner, invited the two States
representatives to hold their
first organizational meeting in
Washington.
Arlington's State Senator
Charles r. Fenwick, one of
the Virginia members. said
that would be satisfactory.
He also offered to hold the
first meeting in Annapolis
inasmuch as the Maryland
General Assembly session may
keep that States commission
members pretty close to the
State Capitol.
Mr.. Fenwick said Virginians
feel there is a greater chance
Of solving the problem by

which might have to delegate
some Of their regulatory au-
thority to a new agency. than
to have congressional and
presidential commissions study
the matter.
A request is expected from
the White House soon for an
appropriation for the National
Capital Regional Planning
Council to make a comprehen-
sive study of all transportation
problems in this area. That
survey would include all
phases. such as mass transit
facilities. fringe parking. high
ways and bridges.
Maryland'S Representative
Hyde, who last year opposed
Virginia Representative Broy-

and offered one Of his own
calling for a single regulatory
body, now is willing to so
along with the proposed Plan

still is convinced, however.
