Sharing the Load

Within the next week or so, the
Commissioners will consider once again
the proposal that they rush through a
District real estate tax increase. This
proposal, in our judgment, is both un-
necessary and unfair. 1t should be
placed on the shelf until the muddy
waters of the Districts fiscal situation
can be cleared by legislation when Con-
greSs returns next month.
Only one compelling reason now
exists to raise local taxes in any form.
That is to provide new revenues to bear
the cost OF pay raises-granted to the
Districts regular classified workers last
month, and certain to be extended also
in August to District teachers, police
and firemen.
1t might be assumed, because the
recipients of these pay raises work in
the District, that they would bear fair
share of the cost of their benefits by
paying higher real estate taxes. But
would they? The Star asked District
of11cialS for residential breakdowns of
its employees, and these were the results:
OF District firemen, $50 actually live in
the District and 824 live in nearby Mary
land or Virginia. OF District police, 843
are District residents and 1,649 live in
the suburbs. Among all District en-
ployes, about 80 per cent live outside
the city.
What does this mean? 1t means, of
course, that substantial number of the
recipients of District pay raises would
contribute nothing if the burden of their
benefits were met by a boost in real
estate taxes. 1t means, instead, that
the dwindltng number of property
owners within the District would have
yet another load heaped on their
shoulders. Over the years, the area of
taxable city land has dropped steadily
and is dropping still. At present, 50 per
cent of all real estate in the District is
exempt from taxes. AS an example of
the continuing attrition, the pending
acquisition by Congress of two blocks
OF private property for the expansion
Of Capitol Hill will cost the District
loss Of 100000 a year in taxes-over
$4,000 in real estate taxes alone.
The story of course would be differ
ent If no other tax source were in sight
to relieve the pay raise burden. But a
one cent sales tax increase already has
been approved by the House, and is
expected to clear the Senate next month.
This will amply meet the pay-raise
def1cit--with an undetermined amount
left over, in fact, to pay some of the
costs OF needed public works improve
mentS. 1t will spread the load far more
equitably over the entire population.
And-through their purchases within
the District-it even will recover some
of the cost of the pay raises enjoyed by
those who cross the District line on
their way home

Syminqton' S Losses

Many Democrats must have left Los
Angeles filled with disappointment. Of
them all, however, none had more
reason for unhappiness than Stuart
Symington, for the Missouri Senator
lost twice
His defeat for the presidential nom
ination should not have been too heavy
a blow. He did not make an all-out
effort for the top spot and he must have
known before the balloting began that
his chances were slim. He evidently
wanted the vice presidential spot, how
ever, and at one point it looked as
though he would make it. Yet, in the
end, even this was lost to him.
Still, as was the case 10 years ago
when he was dealt out by Harry Tru-
man, the MisSourian has swallowed his
disappointment and has pledged him
self to support the ticket. And he will
do it, for Stuart Symington is a team
player.

Chonqe of Pace Assured

The course of political events in
Los Angeles last week assures that the
1860 presidential campaign will be vastly
different from those of 1852 and 1856.
For the Democrats, a new and
younger party command is taking shape
swiftly after the impressive convention
victory of Senator Kennedy of MasSa-
chuSetts. Mr.. Kennedy already has
demonstrated qualities significantly diff
ferent from those of Adlai Stevenson,
his predecessor. Comparably eloquent,
he has shown other skills that are not
so much possessed by Mr.. Stevenson
including Sureness of political instinct,
deciSiVeneSs and readiness for person.
to-perSon combat. Mr.. Kennedy startled
some, for example, in his acceptance
speech by an early attack on his prob
able opponent, Vice President Nixon,
but he backed down not at all in a
subsequent press conference when he
said, Let's make it clear that this cam
paign is going to be very vigorous"
There is no doubt that Mr.. Nixon
Is prepared to do battle on the same
basis. While conserving his ammuni-
ton in recent months he already is
on record in several speeches last spring
as pledging one of the most energetic
campaigns IN Republican party history.
A scheduled three weeks of face to
face maneuvering in Congress in August
will give both sides an unusual oppor-
tunity to get the campaign off the
ground. There will, no doubt, be disa-
vowalS of partisan politics during this
session but almost surely they will be
woven into all words and actions. For
the Democrats, even this extra legiSla-
tive session may be affected by plat

content. The Republicans start this
week to draft their own, with Governor
Rockefeller of New York prominent

Roze the Tempos

In the hullabaloo over Congress-
approval of new courthouse on Lafay-
cite Square, sight should not be lost of
a much more important related advance
the green light which has been given
for construction of three major new Fed
eral Office buildings here.
AS approved finally by the House
and Senate, the big General Services
Administration appropriations bill con-
tainS money to build fine new home for
the Civil Service Commission at Nine
teenth street and Virginia avenue NV
and, in the Southwest redevelopment
area, two buildings to house the Food
and Drug Administration and the Fed
eral Aviation Agency-National Aeronau-
tics and Space Agency.
GSA, in its presentation to Congress,
made much of the point that sites are
available and plans for these buildings
are virtually complete. With funds now
in hand, therefore, there should be no
excuse for failing to get the brick-and-
mortar work under way this year. This
not only will benefit the agencies in
volved. 1t will stimulate the Southwest
program and permit, at long last, a real
start on the removal of the trashy tenn
porary Office building remnants of two
world wars.
Asked about these prospects, how
ever, a GSA spokesman voiced one dis
turbingly sour note. This is the word
that present GSA plans do not envi-
sion that "any substantial numbers" of
tempoS will be removed, and that the
major tempo razing will come at later
stage of the GSA's long-range building
program. If this is so, we think GSA
should take another look at it's program

Friendly Hand Southwark

President Eisenhower played upon a
broad range of normal aspirations
political, social and economic-in his
Newport announcement of plans for a
program of steppedup collaboration
with our Latin American neighbors. In
doing so, the President made clear his
encouragement to the moderate groups"
who are committed in opposition to
dictatorShipS of either the Left or the
Rtght-the extremists who meddle bla-
family in their neighbors' affairs or who
threaten to introduce "alien dogmas" to
life and relations in the Western Hemi-
sphere.
1t was In the related fields of social
reform and economic growth that Mr..
Eisenhower was most specific about fu-
ture cooperative action. Referring to

I am in sympathy with the
American who wrote in dis

for playing patriotic music
on Independence Day. On
our block "a dead-end street,
it worked out differently.
All the younger children
spent the morning decorat-
ing their bikes, trykes, and
wagons with the red, white

up, a father put some march
ing music on the record
player (turned up) and the
children paraded up and
down the street for half an
hour.
In the evening we went
to the celebration at the

There we thrilled to The

over the music-a fine band
and male chorus. We felt
like standing up and cheer
ing after an excellent three
minute speech. We were
reminded of our Nations

ton. The fireworks outspec-
taculared Hollywood.

not just the Fourth of July.

Uncle Sam wants to do
the right thing, but he has
to do it through his agents.
His biggest agent, President
Coolidge, says Uncle Sam
has told him that Govern
ment extravaganza must
stop" and that was the
main reason why he vetoed
that bill.
Does anyone represent
Uncle Sam more than the
President?
I do not think so. Nor
do the loyal postal en-
ployes, who have suffered
their disappointment in si-
lence. without even a
thought of a strike, such
as Canadian postal workers
employed to get increased
salaries.
Certainly no man in pub
lie employ gives more con-
slant service than the mail
clerk, the letter carrier and
the countless others who
daily handle the "messen-
gers of love" throughout the
Nation.
The carrier comes into
daily contact with all Of us.
Maybe we see the President
once a year, if we live in
Washington, or once in a

of us, are merely names. for

three times a day. He knows
our first names and we
know his.
