THE PROVISIONS The bill to establish and provide for the maintenance of a free public library and reading room in the District was yesterday afternoon passe] by the Senate without a vote being recorded against it. It came up under a general consideration of unob- jected cases cn the calendar, one objection being fatel to the immediate chances ‘of any measure. Being well down the list, it was not reached until some time after 4 o'clock, Sena‘or McMillan, who introduc- ed the bill, had been waiting about all the afternoon in the hope that the Senate would get to this. Immediately after its title had Leen read at the desk an objection to its present consideration was made by Mr. Wilson of Washington. I hope tke Senator from Washington will not object to this bill,” interposed Mr. McMillan. “It is a matter of very -great importance to the District, and we do not often get a chance to pass any District bills. It proposes te establish a free pub- lic library here.” Mr. McMillan on Hand. Mr. MeMillan’s championship of any measure is practically a guarantee of its complete worth, and there was a little surprise, therefore, when Mr. Wilson re- fused to withdraw his objection. ‘I know,” he responded, “but we seem to be doing something for the District of Columbia all the time here.” “We have not had any District bills con- sidered today.” explained Mr. McMillan. “We have raised the salary of the post- master here, and all that sort of thing. It seems we have done enough for the District today. The bill for the postmaster’s salary was @ national measure, coming from a general committee, and “all that sort of thing” consisted wholly of bills for the relief of nes Linskey and Margaret Kennedy. Mr. McMillan again urged Mr. Wilson to withdraw his objection, saying that the ll was very important to the people of the District. Mr. Wilson Surrenders, Wilson surrendered wit? a “very well," and the vill was laid before the Senate. Mr. Hill asked if there was any limitation placed upon the amount to be expended annually for the maintenance of the library, and Mr. MeMillan explained that the estimate was that it would cost from $4.00 to $6,000 a year. He said he had 1.0 objection to Jimiting the annual ex- aditure, say, at $6,000, and he went on declare that the library is demanded 1} the school children of the District, the Federation of Labor and by the people who are in the habit of using reading rooms. There are a large number of books, he went on, that will be presented, and there will he a number of gifts. Ten thousand dol- lars would be given by citizens right away for the purchase of books. Mr. Hill suggested that the citizens of District have access to the Congres- al Library, but Mr. Wolcott denied that Ss the case, declaring that the school ren of the District cannot reach these s al all. When the new city post office building was planned,” he said, “it was with the idea of relieving the municipal or other buildings, so that some foundation for a library cou be established. The Congressional Library has stood here for years, apparently giv- ing to the citizens of Washin: extensiy nd delightful facilities imagin- able Tor the reading of books, the examina tion of documents, cte., but as a matte of fact It is a closed imstitution to nearly Il the people of the District. The com- nencement of this library, which is upon modest s meets with the v nd aspirations of nearly all Mr. of the District. It is recom- mended by every organization here, and is in the direct line of what other citi are atle to accomplish without the inte: vention or assistance of Congress. The Congrexstonal 1 The rary. ional Library theory of our Congre is th®preservation of books for future lime, the gathering and ke = of books for the future in the libra The theor of the Congressional Library is not that of a-circulating libr It really is a diminution of the usefulness of the Con- Library that its volumes are they ave sent out, to officials here in W shington, se by means of the Congressional alone we se- cure the preservation for future ages of every book and documeni that is published in the U tates, It stands apparently a library for the District of Columbia, is not in fact a library at all of y can avail themselves. As the Senator from New York knows, there are thousands of students who gather here, be- cause, under the shadow of the Capitol, different institutions of learning have been organized and established, of them having night schools. ing lectures which are av in the government employ. Many lawy. and doctoxs are turned out by these differ- ent institutions, and to them also such a library as this is very much of a neces- Hill, noting certain details of the measure, Suggested that the bill might pos- sibly be the entering wedge for a pretty large annual expenditure. Not an Entering Wedge travagunes, “I do not believe this is the entering wedge for ary extravagant expenses,” said Mr. Wolcott, _ ‘These are to be treated a3 municipal expenses, the payments will be very slight, and the generosity and public spirit of the citizens of the District will be demonstrated and displayed to an in- finitely greater degrce than any expenditure which we shail be called upon as an ap- propriating body to make. It is necessar that we should pay the salaries, which will be small.” Mr. Faulkner gressional Librar; and so the book: for Ex- that the Con- use to the people who seek them. Mr. Gallinger asserted that the people can ake books away from the Congressional ing the price of the Washington Behind the Times. He went on to express his astonishment that the people of the District should have “dragged elong year after year without having established a public library in this city.” He continued: ‘‘In the state of Massa- twenty towns that have rot a public library. In the little state that I have the honor in part to rep- resent we have oyer two hundred public li- braries which the people sustain in the different towns. It is true the state gives a little stpport to those Ibraries under certain contingencies, but this great city of Washington, with all its wealth and with all its culture, has dragged along to the present time without establishing a public Ubrary for the citizens of the District, and now we are going to do it jointly with the District of Columbia by making an appro- priation that will be shared, so far as the expenses are concerned. These are the facts. I voted for the bill in committee and I shall vote for it here, becavse I think it is the best thing we can do. Mr. MeMillan said that it has been found after examination that nearly every city in the United States provided for circulating libraries by taxation, some in one way and some In another, but all under distinct con- trol. Mr. Chandler a Champion, Mr. Chandler here took part in the debate. He said: “I suppose !t is an excuse for the inhabitants of the District of Columbia and for Congress that there hi not hitherto been a public library here that the Congres- sional Library has been so freely used by the inhabitants of the District. There is in- convenience about that, and very great in- convenience. As the present library is con- y Have sal te the facilities of a > library; but it is not convenient. There is enough in the present library, and there will not be room enough even in the new library, for evacee kind of patronage. “For a Peery ry there needs to be without delay in the ini I may say, exactly elo is provided for in this bill, to wit, an inary: reading library, outside of the Sbravy of Congress, outside of the great vational brary, a library that will meet the wants of the common people of the District, 80 that they can have the privileges which are enjoyed not only by the large cities of this country, but, as my colleague has said, by almost every village of any size through- cut the United States. I hope there will not be a vote against this bill, which I think is well guarded and designed in a modest and a moderate way to lay the foundation for as good a town or city library as is to be found in the country.” Opposed by Mr. Allen. Mr. Sherman at this time interposed a motion for an executive session, but with- drew it upon the appeal of Mr. McMillan that the pending bill be allowed to go through. Mr. Allen then took the floor in oppcsition to the measure. He said he be- Meved the city ought to have a public cir- culating brary, but he was a bit surprised that the chairman of the District commit- tee should see proper, every time a bill is brought in for the District, “to saddle a portion of the expense of the enterprise, however private it may be, upon the gov- ernment of the United States. There is no reason,” he went on, ‘why the rich men and taxpayers of the city of Washington should not support thts library just exactly as the taxpayers in the state of Nebraska or the state of Michigan or the state of New Hampshire or any other state are re- quired to support the public Mbraries of their states. There seems to have grown up here—I do not know how long it has_exist- ed, or how long it will continue to exist— the thought that the people of the United States must share the expense of every en- terprise in this city, however small or how- ever great It may be, and the people of this nation, from California to Maine, inust be taxed to maintain those enterprises. I do not want to be classed as opposed to this measure, or opposed to a measure which will furnish a circulating library here. 1 shall give my vote at any time for the es- tablishment of a public library wherever one is needed; but in every state of this great Union the people themselves support their public libraries. There are places in the United States where libraries of this kind are needed much more than one needed here, In view of the access that peo- ple have to the Congressional rai is no argument to say because this is the national capital that, therefore, we should tax the people of the United States to ¢ tablish an enterprise which is peculiarly local here. “I am unable at this time to recall a measure which has come from the Senate committee on the District of Columbia tn the last three years which called for an ex- penditure of money which kas not saddled @ portion of the expense upon the gov: ment of the United States. If there is ¢ I should like to have the henor man of that committee mention it.” The Old Question Answered. Mr. McMillan said he thought it was well understood that the United States owns more than half of the property in the District. There will be not less than 20,000 employes of the government who will be entitled to use the books, and he could see on why the District should pay all pense. Harris put the 2's objection in sus He “The taxpayers of every state have a voice in the matter as to whether they shall or shall not be taxed, and as to the amount which they shall be taxed, while there is spect to the matter of taxation. imposes taxes upon them ac ing to its will and for whate to de. the taxed or not being taxed, or the amount to which they shall be taxed.” Mr. Allen went over the familiar ground of objection to the government's sharing the expenses of the District, and declared that the people of the District have no voice in their own taxation through their own volition, having voluntarily come to this taking into account all of the condi- s here. Ax to Educational Expenses. Mr. Platt asked Mr. Allen if he would put all of the expense of the educational vstem of the District upon the people of the District. fon the proposed library w with the educational facilities. said that his objection did not length. But he obje ment of a free library the people of the District exciusively. “Under tae bill,” he said, “I should have no right to go into that library and obtain a book, and person who was here transientiy and was not ar the District would have a rigiit to use that litrar; Mr. Call denied this assertion, and Mr MeMillan called attention to the second section of the bill, which provides that ail persons who are permanent or tem- porary residents of the District shall be entitled to the privileges of said library, He explained that in his opin- ht in line Allen thereupon dropped that point of contention, an-l went on with this char- acteristic argument: ba should not he people of this Y ‘e rolling in wealth—I would not say the majority of them, but a great num- Ler of them—who want this brary, like the people of other sections of the coun- try establish and maintain their own pub- lic library? If I were to ask Congress for riation for the establishment of in my little town I should be i: would be regarded as‘ridicu- lous; ond yet every day of the session of Congress there comes in a bil here of some kind which is to take money out of the public treasury, and therefore out of the pockets of the people of the nation, for the purpose of maintaining some enterprise for this District and this elty. Mr. Call's Argument. The debate was closed with an earnest argument by Mr. Call in behalf of the Dis- trict. He said: “The people of the United States ought to have, and do have, a just pride in the improvement of the national capital. I believe the day is coming when cheap transportation will gi ple of the United States acc>s: and its educational advantages. ik this ought to be made the model city of the world, with no mor opolies, with the benefits of «ducation free to all, with the comforts of good living; and if there be any economies that concentrate the real estate In this District in the hands of a few, as my friend thinks, they ought to be abolished. When you speak of ms property dear and paying the taxes of the whole city and the District of Columbia and all the great improvements here, lo you mican? You are only taxing you are only taking that much aw: their salaries. They pay the tax: make the property valuable, and jf y going to impose upon this little Di because 59: few people own large ought to be the best in the world, you will make it so dear to live here that no poor man or his family can afford to live nere or can have those advantages. I would tax the people of the United States whatever is necessary to make this capital their proper representative; I would restrain mo- nopolies of all kinds, and make the cost of living cheap, so that the poor people of the United States may come here and their children may come, and have the best ad- SS of education which the world can ford.” “The committee amendment authorizing the Commissioners to receive for the library collections of books and other publications that may be transferred to It was then adopted, and the Lill was passed without dissent.
