The finding by the joint congres- slonal committee that the District tax surplus is not a myth but a concrete fact, raising a distinet obligation not to be waved aside, is based upon and sustained by (1) The authoritative certificate of States. (2) ‘The report of the official ac- countants of the congressional joint ommittee, of the Treasury account- nts and of the auditor o of Columbia. (3) Analysis of the conditions crc- ating this surplus demonstrates Its concrete existence and the definite obligation, legal and equitable, at- tached to it, (4) Analysis of the District audi- tor's figures of net surpluses or def- icits in District tax revenue under the organic act of 1878 for the fiscal years 1800 to 1920, inclusive, makes the same conclusive demonstration. (5) Congress, in 1903, recognized ! that there could be and would be {such things District by directing that the ad- vances which it was then making to meet District tax deficits should be “reimbursed to sald Treasury from time to time out of the surplus rev- enues of the District of Columbla.” (8) After District deficits had becn converted into surpluses. Congress recognized the existence of such &u pluses in the Treasury by applying portions of these surpluses to the payment of alleged ancient indebted. nesses of the District to the United States, by law specifically transfer- ing to the United States sums from the amount in the Treasury of the | United States to the credit of the Dis- | trict of Columbia | (7)) The United States has recog- | nized credit items in its favor aceru- ing from deficits in District tax rev- enue created Ly the operation of the half-and-half law and has reimbursed itself from District revenues with in- terest for advances to meet these def- icits. It cannot, legally or ecquitably, | refuse to recognize the corresponding debit items in the shape of surpluses of collected and unexpended District taxcs. (8) | this” equitable principle in dealing | with surpluses or deficits in applying | for two years (fiscal vears 1921 and | 1922) the temporary sixty-forty ratio | in"District appropriation bills by ecar | rving over surpluses or deficits into | the succeeding year. | * % % { The obligation thus and thus demonstrated to exist is |not weakened, but strengthened by jequitable and moral considerations. | There are no offsets in the shape legal ©of United States credits, elther in the | period since 1878 or the period be- tween 1574 and 1575, other than thone | found and reported by the congres- sional joint committee, to make a net eduction of the reported amount of the District’s present tax surplus. The legal and moral obligation thus | lemonstrated to e t, is equitably 1 tisfied only by th pplication of the {surplus in accordance with the half | and hailf law, under which it AN ne- jcumulated to meet the District's half |of the expense of neglected municipal | meeds of the war time, whie | permitted its accumulation. Applicas ‘lllnn of the su lus under any ether | ratio is unequitable. For the reasons above recited your petitioners urge enactment of Senate bill 703 to the end of securing action by Congress, which will, as the joint congressional committea rec ports, “definitely and finally sef = rest existing contentions and con filcts between the District and Fed eral governmentw.” THEODORE W.
