4 L4 NEWPLANFORD.C. URGED IN CONGRESS Representative Moore Would Give City Heads Power Over 4. Budget Estimates. Drastic change in the treatment of the National Capital by Congress, by installing a new system of control which will expedite needed legisla- tion and facllitate greatly needed public improvements was advocated in the House yesterday by Represent- atlve R. Walton Moore of Virginia while the District appropriation bill was under discussion. He proposed Giving the District Commissioners jurisdiction over estimates for sup- port of the ional Capital instead of the Budget Bureau, creation of a joint committee of the House and Sen- ate to consider District legislation, intrusting to that joint committee the duty of p & upon appropriations for the Capital City Instead of the ap- propriations committee, and granting the District Commissioners wider ad- ministrative authority so that they will not have to be running to Con- gress all the time for legislation on minor matters. He also advocated that the people of the District be given national representation To substantiate his plea that much more liberal appropriations are es- senttal for the proper development of the Capital, Representative Moore submitted figures furnished him by the District auditor showing that right now $54,797.265 is urgently needed for improvements. Others Approve Arguments. Representative Moore frequently was interrupted by other members who expressed their agreement with his proposals. Representative Garner of Texas, ranking Democrat on the ways and means committee, sald that Representative Moore’s philosophy with regard to freeing the District from the control of the Budget Bu- reau was undoubtedly correct. Rep- resentative Zihlman, who will be chairman of the District legislative committee in the next Congress, also emphatic: indorsed Representative Moore's plan. When Chairman Madden of the ap- Dpropriations committee said he would not agree to the proposal to with- draw from the District “the restrain- ing hand of Congress” Mr. Moore re- plied that under his plan Congress would still pass upon the District budget. Representative Moore all his life has been a keen observer of the sit- uation existing between the District and the Federal Government, as his district is the one lying closest to the Capital. Since he has been in Congress he has labored persistently to promote a better feeling and closer co-operation between the Capital City and Congress. His speech yesterday was cordially received and thus new evidence was given of the more help- ful spirit that is growing up in Con- gress toward the City of Washington. Sees Readjustment Necessary. “If the lump sum policy is to be maintained, as now seems probable,” said Representative Moore, “it may be urged that the Cramton proposal would have the merit of relieving the future of any uncertainty as to the yearly amount of the contribution. But on the other hand, it can, I think, be urged with greater force that a rigid determination in advance of the amount to be contributed is objec- tlonable, because it would inflexibly forbld Congress, unless the legisla- tlon should be repealed or amended, trom taking into account year-by- year factors which conceivably might lead to the conclusiop that the sum of $9,000,000 should not be taken as & fair measure of the Government's contribution. “The new policy, which substitutes a definite amount to be received from the Government Instead of 50 per cent or 40 per cent or any other per- centage of the total expenditures, should lead to some such further re- adjustment of the existing fiscal re- lations between the Governmegt and the District, as I shall now take the liberty of outlining. Discusses Budget Bureau. “When the Bureau of the Budget was created it was authorized by the law, which is still in effect, to include District expenditures in its estimates. It can hardly be doubted that the rea- son for this was that the percentage basis was then being observed, and there was no suggestion of its aban- donment, and the Government was thus presently and prospectively in a sort of partnership with the District with respect to expenditures of every character. Upon the adoption of the lump-sum policy, this reason disap- pears. nder the former.condition, it was, in the judgment of many, altogether reasonable that the bureau should make up the total estimates. But this was never desirable, since the pri- mary function of the bureau is to sur- vey the activities of the departments and estimate for their needs. It was always anomalous and extraordinary that to this primary function should be added tho difficult and laborious duty of dealing in a similar manner with a municipal situation, having the same varied and increasing activi- ties as other cities where there is & rapid growth of population and in- finite details to be considered. The officlals of the bureau have neces- sarily less information about the mu- nicipal situation than the local au- thorities, who are constantly in touch with its conditions and requirements. “The Commissioners, under whose supervision the local government is conducted, are entitled to the confidence of Congress and the Executive. Their appointment is authorized by Con- gress. They are appointed by the President, who can remove them. The offictal force which is under their control compares, favorably with that of any other city In the country. It is confessedly efficlent, and to an extent its efliciency is due to the fact that it is more non-partisan than in many other citles. Justice to Taxpayers. “The Commissioners are in better position than the bureau to prepare and submit annual estimates to Con- gress, and to be finally passed on in such manner as is now or will be hereafter provided. The final action of Congress would restraln any con- cetvable injustice to the tax.ayers and the people generally which the estimates of the Commissioners might at any time involve. But in the ab- sence of any showing of injustice in the way of extravagance or neglect or indifference it may be taken for granted that Congress would approve the estimates, inasmuch as every dollar over and above the lump-sum appropriation would neither directly nor indirectly create a call upon the Treasu! but be paid by the people of the District. The situation would simply parallel that which obtains in other cities under the co-operation of the local executive and adminis- trative branches, The detachment of the bureau from the affairs of the District could be brought about without the slight- o8t burden to the Federal Govern- ment by a simple modification of the budget law to remain effective at least while the lump-sum policy is in effect.” In replying to Representative Mad- den’s contention that the Congress ought to have a restricting hand over the District estimates, Representative Moore said: “I-think Congress swrjt to retain its — THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. ©, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 6, URVEY REVEALS $55,000,000 NEEDED FOR DISTRICT WORK The first comprehensive survey of all the needed improvements of the National Capital, as seen by the District officials, was presented to Congress yesterday by Representative R. Walton Moore of Virginia. This shows that entirely aside from the current appropriations for keeping the business of the District moving approximately $55,000,000 should be appropriated for furnishing an adequate plant, modernized to meet present conditions. This includes the amounts needed for the sewers, Fire Department, Police Department, streets and bridges, water service, city refuse service, electrical department, parks and institutions.

I am only discussing the very unusual duty that 1s iImposed upon the bureau of looking over the affairs of a munic- ipality, & growing municipality, and making estimates for its needs, a thing that does not happen in any other munieipality of the country.” Supporting Mr. Moore's argument, Representative Garner told the House: T think the gentleman from Virginia 1s correct about the philosophy of the budget. The budget wae intended to take care especially of expenditures out of the Treasury of the United States. The Commissioners under the present arrangements make their es- timates to the budget and the budget then transmits their estimates of Di trict expenditures to the Congre It seems to me, if the lump-sum ap- propriation theory is adopted, then it would be nothing but fair that the Dis- trict Commissioners, representing the people of the District, should submit- their estimates direct to the Con- gress; or, rather that the budget, un- der the present law, ought to send the estimates of the District Commis- sioners to the Congress and let the Congress puss on the advisability of adopting them.” Pledge of Co-Operation. Promise of co-operation in putting this program through was then given from a very powerful source when Chafrman Madden of the appropria- ns committee said: ho"!swnuld not object to that, but I would object to the acceptance of the budget estimates either from the budget or from the Commissioners without any right to vise them and reduce them, because, after all, some- body somewhere must be in authority to protect the rights of the man who has nothing to say about the esti- mates.” i Representative Garner said he agreed with Mr. Madden “absolutely.” Continuing, Representative Moore ex- plained that “if the District were taken out of the budget system the estimates would be made by the Com- missioners, the appointees of the President. Those estimates would, of course, be sent to Congress and then the appropriate committees in Con- gress would deal with them. That would serve, it seems to me, to amply safeguard the people of the District, and, as I have just said, there would be no need to safeguard the Federal Government, because the new policy is to limit the contribution of the Federal Government to a lump sum. In advocating a joint committee to pass on District legislation and sub- mitting a statement of the necessary improyements for the District, Rep- resentative Moore sald: Vothing I said presupposes that there should or could be any limit to the legislative power of Congress over the District, although I conour in the opinion recently expressed on the floor of the House by some of the members of the committee on the Dis- trict of Columbia and by others that Congress might wisely rid {tself of muoh of the minor, District legisla- tion which it now considers by leav- ing to the Commissioners more fully than now the disposition of many questions of a routine and compara- tively trifiing character. In that con- nection it was urged, as I formally proposed some time ago, that District business should be intrusted to a joint committee of the two houses rather than as at present to two large in- dependent committees. % “This plan would enable a #ingle committee to frame and report legis- lation with a view of determining to the Commissioners that might properly be made the sub- jeot of ordinances instead of being made the subject of congressional enactments. It-ls my own view that this committee might also very prop- erly be given authority to report Dis- trict appropriation bills by trans- ferring to it-the authority now ex. ercised by the committee on appro- priations, whose work is of such great magnitude and which cannot, under the rules of the House, write any legislation in an appropriation bill &s a joint committee might fairly be permitted to do. Good Results Predicted. “But, of course, it should be under- stood that the question as to whether estimates for the future should be made by -tbe bureau or:by the Com- missloners is not to any extent de- pendent upon the point which is now being suggested relative to the con- centration of District business in a joint committee having full power to act promptly and without undue waste of the time of Congress in transacting District business. The more one thinks of the value that would pertain to such a unification the stronger, I think, becomes the impression of the good results to which it would lead. “I shall barely touch upon changes in the structure of the District gov- ernment which have been advocated. While I can see good ground for the contention that it would be to the general advantage of the people of the District to be enabled by a consti- tutional provision to have voting rep- resentation in Congress and to par- ticipate in the election of the Presi- dent and Viee President, I do not be- lleve there would be any advantage, but, on the contrary, believe it would be disadvantageous, to displace the present arrangement by such an ar- rangement as ordinarily exists in oth- er municipalities, “The appropriation bill which is now being considered has been com- mended for its liberality to the Dis- trict. It goes further than any of the District appropriation bills during my time here in taking care of immediate needs. But it does not attempt to provide for a number of permanent improvements which should be made, and which in other municipalities are ordinarily made, not by taxation, but by funds derived from the issue and Attractive Hangings Nothing makes the home so beautiful than Draperies—Exclusive and Newest Materiala to select from—all work guaranteed and excep. tionally reasonable.

I shall append to my remarks a list of such improvements, or some of them, as now seem neces- sary or desirable, and for this enu- meration I am Indebted to the able and efficient auditor of the District. “It will be noted that the items listed by the auditor total nearly $55,000,000. Since, the 1ist was com- piled a bill has been passed which will take care of a small percentage of the improvements indicated. “Of course, a bonded indebtedn is not to be encouraged when it can be dispensed with. It is significant that since 1878 the District has never hed a bond issue designed for the di- rect purpose of applying the proceeds to permanent Improvements. The is- sue of $15,000,000 of 3.65 bonds which was authorized in 1874 was purely a funding loan, to take up various debts incurred under previous forms of government. Those bonds have been recently retired. At this time, with the exception of Washington, I understand, there ig no city in the country with a population exceeding 80,000 which has not bonds outstand- Ing which in the main have been is- sued for the purpose of making per- manent improvements which will be enjoyed not only by the people living at the time when the indebtedness was created, but by people of other generations. Should such a survey by Congress be made as has been proposed, in order to decide what au- thority should be conferred upon the Commissioners of the District, one of the questions that ought to receive consideration is the question just mentioned. “It 1s a question that concerns not only the maintenance of the city as it is, but work that should be carried on to make the gity, which is now rapidly growing, what it should be and what undoubtedly the people of the country desire it to be. Should the conclusion be reached that taxa- tion will meet the requirements and afford a fair and sufficient substitute for the creation of a moderate bond- ed indebtedness, the District will con- tinue to occupy the fortunate position which {t now holds among the almost countless cities or towns of United States, each of which has a bonded debt.” Genoral debate yesterday was limit- ed to three hours, controlied half and half by Representative Charles R Davis, Republican, of Minnesota, chalr- man of the subcommittes of the ap- propriations committee which drafted the bill, and Representative Willlam A. Ayres, Democrat, of Kansas, the ranking Democrat on the subcommit- tee. Representative Davis took the floor, surveying all of the appropriations carried in the bill, and emphasizing that while the subcommittee realizes it is for the House to determine whether the lump-sum policy adopted last year for one year only shall be continued or whether a return shall be made to the old fiscal policy of a definite proportion, the committee had in mind a lump sum of $9,000,000 as the Federal Government's share in the cost of the national Capital. It was because the committee ex- pected the House to continue the lump sum of $9,000,000 that unusually large appropriations were allowed, particularly for schools and streets, Representative Davis explained. “What i{s needed more than 300 or 500 additional policemen,” as advo- cated by the joint legislative committee on District affairs, “is at least two additional judges to handle and dispose of the cases now on the docket,” said Representative W. A. Ayers, Democrat, of Kansas, a member of the subcom- mittee which drafted the District ap- Many of the | STONE WILL ASSUME SEAT ON BENCH, MARCH 2; GETS 0. K.

Only two Sen- ators—Heflin, Democrat, _Alabama, and Norris, Republican, Nebraska- argued against confirmation, but Sen- ators on both sides expressed opposi- tion to establishment of a precedent in the Wheeler case that the Gov- ernment could bring an action in the District of Columbla that could lle in the home State of the accused. Besides Heflin and Norris, Senators voting against oconfirmation were Frazier, Republican, North Dakota; Trammell, Democrat, Florida, and Johnson and Shipstead. Farmer- Labor, Minnesota. It was announced that had Senator La Follette, Repub- lican, Wisconsin, been present he, too, would have voted in the negative. Senators Wheeler, Democrat, Mon- tapa, and his colleague, Senator Walsh withheld their votes, the lat- ter announcing that he did so be- cause he is counsel for Senator Wheeler in proceedings brought here and in Montana. While Senator Heflin attacked Mr. Stone for the position he took as counsel in the Supreme Court hear- ings in the case of the executors of the estate of J. Plerpont Morgan against James A. Ownbey, Colorado mining man, Senator Norris made the basis of his opposition the viewpoint which, he sald, Mr. Stone must have by reason of his long service as cor- poration counsel. Paying high tribute to the char- acter and abllity of Mr, Stone, Sena- tors Borah and Reed, Missouri, en- tered their protest against the theory that the Government had a moral right to compel an accused to stand trial far from his home. They also took occasion to deny that the Stone nomination had been held up because of an attempt to indict a member of the Senate propristion bill, who followed Chairman Davis. He emphasized that the Police Court docket s not only hopelessly clogged but that the cases are coming in so fast it is hopeless to ever catch up Representative Ayres also advocated a change in the code which would make it more difficult for petty offenders to demand a jury trial, thereby impeding the action of the court. Representative Ayres strongly sup- ported the proposal to continue the $9,000,000 lump-sum contribution from the Federal Treasury in substitution for the definite proportion (50-50 or 60-40) plan of financing the National Capital. One of the crying needs of the District, he sald, is for improved school facilities, and said that “a great many heart-breaking fact- were revealed” during the hearings “where little children could not be made comfortable because of the de plorable condition of the heating sys tem in certain school buildings. “It is humillating for the Capita of the United States to be placed in such a position or condition with regard to public schools” he sald “It is unfair to the children and their parents to endure such Inconveniences and hardships. Tears came to the eyes of mothers who testified before our committee as they related what had to be suffered by thedr children Such a condition should not exist in any community.” He forcefully pre dicted that “it will not be so in the future.

BUREAU FACES CUT OF A DAY A WEEK Funds Heavily Drained in Building Up Surplus of “Seasoned” Notes. Possibility of having to furlough perhaps the entire personnel of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, 5,200 persons, one day a week, more or less, loomed todav. at the result of the bureau having operated the first part of this fiscal year under a program of building up & surplus of United States and natfonal bank notes and sufficient appropriations failed to be provided to continue the program for the rest of this fiscal year. No dismissals will be made, it was sald by Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Charles S. Dewey, but the furlough plan will have to be placed in effect unless more money Is pro- vided for the rest of this fiscal year. Mr. Dewey, Alvin W. Hall, director of the bureau, and other officials of the Treasury, went before the Bureau of the Budget today to request addi- tlonal appropriations to carry on the program of building up the surplus notes supply, needed, they say, from a standpoint of the increasing demand and economy in the use of “seasoned” 5. Following the conference presided over by Gen. Lord of the Bureau of the Budget and Charles Fullaway, it was said that the answer of the Bud- get Bureau probably would be ar- rived at within a few days When the furlough will be put into effect depends, Mr. Dewey explained, upon the answer given to the Treas. ury by the Bureau of the Budget. In the meantime the bureau continues to operate its full personnel on full time. A point in the expenditure of funds has been reached where necessary to determine whether the President and Congress meant to sup- ply the necessary funds for completing a year of building up the surplus. The increasing demand for paper money is revealed In the fact that Congress has already appropriated sufficient money for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1926, to print 190,000,000 sheets, as compared with 150,000,000 for the present fiscal year. A supple- it became ! mental bill is now pending in Congress to authorize additional funds sufficient to add 25,000,000 more to this fiscal year, increasing that figure to 175,000,- 000 sheets.
