It is time for Congress in the exercise of its power of exclusive jurisdiction over the affairs of the District of Columbia to pause and con- sider. The requirement that the District con- tribute one-balf the cost of the purchase and maintenance of live animals, bought by the gov- ernment for scientific purposes, and the exac- tion from the District of one-half the cost of the abandoned tunnel, if they were to be viewed as established precedents, might well tause alarm in the people of the capital, The government is wisely liberal in its expenditures for the advancement of science. It will proba- bly spend upon the zoological garden as an ad- Jonct of the Smithsonian Institution far more than twice the sam which Washington could af- ford to devote to the maintenance of a collection of animals, such as other cities of its size sometimes establish as pfrely local con- cerns, But if the precedent of the recent action of Congress is fullowed Washington will be compelled to contribute one-half of this amount whatever its size may be, having no control over either the expenditure or the things purchased. Logically the same prece- dent will justify Congress in exacting from the District one-half of the cost of all other real estate and exbibits purchased for the ad- yvaucement of science and the recreation of the people, which have incidentally a local value es adornments of the capital or as attractions to visitors. A handsome building extending the National Museum, which is conveniently near the heart of the city, is of more local value than the suburban acres of the zoological gar- den. The exhibits of the flowers and plants in the botanical garden, and of the minerals, stuffed animals and numberless other objects of interest in the National Museum are inci- dentally of vastly greater benefit to the city as convenient objects of interest to residents and visitors than the penned animais out on Rock Creek. The District protests against being forced into equal partnership with the United States asa general promoter of science, These projects are all national not municipal, and the people of the District contribute their proper proportion to the national taxes from which the expense connected with them should be met. The District ought not to be addi- tionally taxed for these purposes as a munici- pality, In the tunnel matter the precedent is still worse. In this case Congress acting as the national legislature authorized a work at the nation’s expense, As it was not proposed to treat the work as a municipal affair the District, of course, did not feel called upon to consider whether the plan or the expenditure proposed suited it, Two years later as an amendment to an appropriation bill one-half of whatever the government should expend in the work was fastened upon a cer- tain portion of the people of the District, to the water-takers, An increased water supply would furnish a consideration for this exaction, but the supply was not increased by the tunnel, the government wasted two mill- ions of dollars in the work, and the tunnel is abandoned. The nation takes advantage cf its absolute power over taxable property in the District to extort froma portion of the resi- dents reimbursement for one-half of losses due to its own blundering negligence. The reply to complaints by the District con- cerning the injustice of such charges as these as usually to the effect that the nation is ex- tremely generous to the city, and this alleged general liberality is stretched to cover a mul- tusude of special sins, It is not denied that the capital is now treated withreasonable fairness, so far as its current expenses are concerned, and that in regard to a few minor items of ex- penditure liberality is shown. But the nation 3s not in position to point to its general treat- ment of the District, past and present, as a justification of these special acts of extortion. Ly planning a magnificent capital, covering a large area and characterized by broad streets, avenues and reservations unsuitable for a Mary- land village or a self-supporting commercial city, and by founding this capital in a place comparatively uninhabited, as well as by the terms of the bargain with the owners of the soil and by the declarations of representatives of the government at the founding of the cap- ital and afterward, the nation indicated an in- tention to build up a national city at national expense on a grand scale irrespective of the future population of the District. Patrick Henry and some of the early pamphleteers protested against the nation’s meeting aii the capital's needs, lest the self- respect of its citizens should be degraded. Such heed was given to this protest that Congress threw practically all the burden of capital mak- ing upon the city’s feeble population, allowing Washington to drift into bankruptey in 1835 in the desperate effort to perform the nation’s task. In 1878 Congress decided that justice re- quired the nation to pay one-half the District's expenses; but it has not yet declared that both justice and consistency also require the pay- ment of the same proportion of the expenses of capital making in the years of Congressional indifference and ne , and the consequent relief of the capital from a heavy indebtedness which oppresses it, incurred in doing the nation’s work of capital building. Fair play to the city for a few years in financial matters ves not even compensate for the scurvy treat- ment of the past, much lets excuse unreason- able extortions of the present, which carry with a threat of worse to come. $$$. —____ The fate of the Rock Creek park bill will probably be finally determined in the next Dis- trict day of the House. In view of the narrow margin of the unfavorable vote upon it yester- day the friends of the measure are hopefal that with a fuller vote upon the pending mo- tion for a reconsideration a different result Will be reached. The proposed park would Preserve for public enjoyment the movt pictur- esque stretch of country ia the District, and would add largely to the city’s healthfulness and beauty. Testimony in respect to the establishment of other such public parks indi- cates that the increase of taxable vaiues thereby reimburses the community fully for any reas- enable public expenditure which may be in- curred in connection with it Every year of delay in securing this park increases the cost f the ground to be purchased, and reduces the relative increase of taxable values which will follow its establishment. The opposition to this wise project in the House seems to be im- Placable. First it was demanded that direct benefits should be assessed against adjoining Property enhanced in value by the establish- ment of the park, and an amendment to this effect was adopted. It was contended that the effect of this amendment would be to relieve the District and nation from any ex- penditure for the purchase of the land; yet after amending it in this way Representatives voted against the measure u the ground that the District could not afford the expenditure. If Congress would refund to the District the money extorted from it in con- nection with the tunnel and the Zoological gar- den,ample means would be on band to pay at once mot only for the park, but for the satisfaction Of the other material local needs which Bepre- sentatives enumerated to defeat the park appro- Priation, The capital needs to be provided with many things, some of them even of greater Practical importance than the park. These things should be done, but the establishment of # national park at the national capital should not be left undone. a Levee or outlet?
