This bill deprives the District of the only feature of the compromise law of 1922, which is clearly advantageous to_the people of the Capital. The vital feature of the act of 1922, carried over from the act of 1878, is that it fixes a definite equitable standard of national participation in Capital making, related to the con. tribution exacted In taxes frem the eapital community, and does not leave this standand to the shiftings of ecaprice. From 1800 to 1874-8 the national and local Capital contributions were indefinite and unrelated. Kach con- tributed what it pleased toward Cap- ital upbuilding. The ggation meas- ured its own obligatio®s in terms of dollars as next to nothing. The local communi' raised and disbursed it own taxes at its pleasure. It meas- ured its Capital Obligation consider- ably beyond the limits of its meager taxable resources, and twice became practically bankrupt in performing almost unaided the nation's task of Capital building. = In 1878 the nation confessed its violation or gross neglect of its Capital obligation. It gave practical expression (o its revived sense of this obligation in its undertaking to pay one-half the accumulated funded indebtedness of the District and one- half of future cxpenses. It took from the District the power of self- taxation and assumed completely ex- ercise of the right to fix the local contribution as well as its own In thus exercising. taxation witheut reprexentation over the District the tion xafeguarded the national com munity by the pledge that to every dollar collected in taxes from the loenl taxpayers should be added a lollar trom the mnational Treasury, and that the aggrega e e | should be expended for Capital up- | building. This provision protected the Distric from excessive xation by causing a taxgatherer, alien to the unrepresented District, to appro- priate from his own Treasury for the District's benefit every time he ap- propriated from the District” revenue. Every dollar he took und the tax power from the local com- munity increased correspondingly his own Capital contribution The law of 1822 ciple of definite tributions, in whi was rooted. That the ratio of this relation was changed from 50-30 to 60-40 did not alter the basic prin- siple involved. The pending proposition destroys all relation hetween the nation: lecal contributions. and. taxing power in the hands of 150 United States. deprives the unrepre- | mented Capital of its safeguard against excessive taxation by a tax- ing body im which it ix not repre- sented.

To raise now the issue of a lump- sum payment substitute for definite proportionate contribution by the na tion is to reopen the fiscal relatio peace settlement of June 29, 1922, and to plunge the House and Senate into the old, wearisome wrangle, so hurt- ful to the District, over the issue of definite or indefinite proportionate contribution toward Capital upbnild- ing and over the ratio (50-50 or 60-40) of definite proportionate contribu- tion. The avowed purpose and promised result of the new law was to bring to House and Senate and people of the District a period refreshing resi from fiscal relations controversy. 1f the act of 1922 is left for a few vears to work out its vindication on ifs merits or ite failure on its demerits this needed rest will be secured. ‘If the old controversy over definite proportionate contribu- tion is to be renewed by compulsory has joked about the bride's first apple | pie will be a lemon.” And it was —William M.
