That story has come down to the present generaltion as an ~xample of Jeffersonian simplicity.

Brandenburg, representing the Board of Trade, next was introduced by Representative Burroughs. He | presented the resolution unanimously adopted by the board favoring na- tional representation for the District. This is the same resolution which was adopted by the Chamber of Com- merce and other local organizations | and presented to the judiciary com- | mittee this morning ~ by delegates | from those organizations. It follow: To the Congress of the United States: Your petioners, respectfully rep- resent: “The 437,000 Americans of the Dis- trict of Columbia constitute the only community in ali the expanse of the continental United States—populous, intelligent, public-spirited, of ade: quate resources—which is denied repre- sentation in the national government. ‘National representation is a dis-| tinctive basic right of the American, citizen—in a government of the peo- Ple. by the people, for the people— in a government which roots its jus- tice in consent of the governed—in a representative government which in- separably couples taxation and arms bearing to a soidier with representation. Since the 437,000 Americans of the District pay national taxes, obey tonal laws and go to war in the na- tion’s defense, they are entitled on American principles to be represented in the national government. which taxes them, which makes all laws for them and which sends them to war. In recognition and reaffirmation of the abovo-stated American principles, We urge most earnestly the approvai by Congress of House joint resolution No. 11, House joint resolution No. 32 and_genate joint resolution No. 53, Proposing in identical terms a con-| stitutional amendment empowering | Congress to grant representation in' House, Senate and electoral college to residents of the District of Columbia.” ‘Was Given Careful Comsideration. Mr. Brandenburg said that the Board of Trade, comprising '.!,IDBI members, had given careful consid- eration to the subject berore unan- imously deciding to recommend it to lare not on a parity isenting at the present time 1.100 {which with citizens of | states in the matter of acecess to the federal courts, Mr. Brandenburg | cited another illustration of the un- fairness of ‘fhe present situation, when he called attention to the fact that District citizens in petitioning | Coneress for their nceds have not their | own legislative representatives to | whom they can go. It is necessary, he showed, for the Washingtonfan to £0 to representatives of other states to obtain those things needed for | | the development of Washington, and { point in the inquiry to ascertain in many instances, he asserted, the! state representatives are (oo busy | with affairs back home 1o give the at- | tention to local matters that is re- | quired. “Taxation without representation is £Oing to stare this Congress and every Congress in the face,” declared MTr. | Brandenburg. “We are coming back | to Congress after Congress until we | get what we are entitled to.” i Voices Appeal. Mr. Brandenburg disclaimed any in- tention on the part of advocates of the resolution to change the present local form of government in the District. He concluded with the plea that inas- much as suffrage has been granted to women, and Washingtonians were the only heipless people in the land with respect to their political rights, Con- gress should once more amend the Con- stitution to Americanize all the people and submit the amendment to the states for ratification. In an impassioned appeal Chapin Brown presented the resolution filed for the Chamber of Commerce. He said that this organization, repre business men, took up tha suffrage issue in 1914 and has been hammer- fnz away on it ever since. The Chamber of Commerce, he said, had acted on the matter favorably at leust half a dozen times and that| sentiment back of the proposal was unanimous Brown also said that he had presented the question of District national representation to the As- sociation of Oldest Inhabitan which had approved it unidnimously Asked by Representative Gard if he thought there should be a quali- fication for voting in the Distriet, Mr. Brown replied that he personally would favor a small property qualifi- cation, probably not to excced $300,! ould put the right of Buf-! frage within the reach of every man who earnestly desired to exercise his righte as an American citizen. “It is almost impossible to believe.” said_Mr. Brown, “that Congress in establishing a territory ten miles quare as the seat of government for the nation’s capital intended that the future residents of that territory Congress.
