The Commissioners of the District | of Columbia having suggested to the president of the Federation of Citi- | 7ens the organization of a council of citizens to advise with and assist them in considering legislation af- fecting the District of Columbla, the president of the federation appoint- ed @ committee which submitted a plan that met with unanimous ap- proval of the federation at its regu- lar session February 31. The com- mittee on the city council again re- vorted to the federation at its next regular meeting on March 7 a com- plete scheme for the election, gov- ernment and functioning of the coun- cll as proposed. The report of the committee, which provided for a council of nine mem- bers, of which the president of the tederation, ex-oficio, should be chalr- man, and composed further of six to be selected from the membership of the Federation of Citl- zens' Assoclations and two from the membership of the Federation of Civic Associations (colored), was re- ferred back to the committes Wwith Instructions to report at the first meeting of the federation in April The discussion which led to this re- sult lasted for about two hours, but did not in any specific manner deal with the election scheme contained in the report, but was concerned mainly with the general proposition that had been unanimously approved at the-preceding meeting of the fed- cration. Some of the delegates who had been present at the meeting February 21 and others who had not attended that meeting appeared to have acquired some doubts as to the wisdom of the whole proceedings. Because the Commissioners desired the early appointment of the proposed council, the committee and others who favored the plan pressed for imme- diate action so that the scheme for nomination and election of the coun- cil might be put to work promptly Belleves Misunderstanding Exists. The delay of nearly a month which will result from this postponement will permit further conslderation by member assoclations. Many of us believe the formation of this ad- visory committee, or council, is not only in the interest of the citizens of the District, but a signal op- | portunity for the Federation of Citi- zens and its constituent member bodies to render service of great value to the Commissioners and the District of Columbla. Personally, I am of the opinfon that the doubts or misgivings of those who would seek to delay or defeat this plan are based upon certain misunderstandings to which I wish to refer. The first doubt is occasioned, I be- lieve, by the psychological effect of what 1 regard as an unfortunate selection of a name suggested by the Commissioners, which was “The City Council of the District of Columbl The name “City Council” suggests an elected board of councilmen, and for one reason or another boards of coun- cilmen in other cities have become more or less unpopular and in many instances have given way to commis- sions or city managers. Commissions are usually elected by the citizens and the work of administering local governments divided between them, or they, in turn, select an especially qualified man or men to direct mu- nicipal work under their supervision Many of the larger cities of the United States have adopted the com- misston, or city manager, form of government. Where city councils are maintained they are often elected from the citizens at large and bear no resemblance whatever to the old form of ward representation. Such commissions or councils are usually made up of a small number of from five to nine members. City Manager Plan Here. What we really have in Washington now is a city manager form of gov- ernment, with “a council” made up of members of the United States Con- gress. In no proper sense can our present local government be called a commission form of government. We have, in fact, three city managers, who divide up the work of adminis- tering the city under certain rules or laws of Congress, and to facilitate the executlon of these laws the Con- gress appoints from its two branches District committees, which, working jointly, really constitute a board of souncilmen, superimposed upon the District. Because this board of councilmen and the greater body of Congress ows their election to other constituencies their attention s divided between the District and the peoples who elect them, often to the disadvantage of the District. The powers given to the Commis- sloners of the District of Columbia, who are our city managers without our “consent and approval” are in many Instances greater than are usually glven to other city managers. Their responsibilities are very great and their dutles onerous. During the past few years there has grown to be a better understanding between the Commissioners of the District and the citizens, very largely as the result of the establishment of citizens’ asso- clations and the federation of cit- izens. Never to my knowledge has there been such sympathy with the citizens in their local problems and such a desire to work together for the general welfare as now exists be- tween the Commissioners of the Dis- trict and the citizenship of Wash- ington. Sees No Menace to Vote Fight. Out of this sympathetic understand- ing has come the desire on the part of the Commissioners for more inti- ate co-operation with the citizen- Ship and hence the suggestion for an organization of a small body of truly representative citizens to meet with TRUXTON Nerth Cavitol S¢. ana Florida Ave. PASSION PLAY MARCH 22 TO 26, INCLUSIVE.

Children, 25c. and discuss the city's problems. is obvious, as the result of experi- ence in municipal governments every where, that small bodies of qualified representatives operate for greatest eficlency. 1 take it, therefore, that what our Commissioners or city man- agers really want is a committee of citizens that will act in an advisory capacity to them in their important work of administering the affalrs of the District, this advisory com- mittee to be chosen from the mem- bership of the neighborhood citizens' associations. Doubts have been voiced by some delegates to the federation of the wisdom of establishing this council or advisory committee. These doubts seemed to be based upon the feeling that these delegates have—that the creation of such a committee will in some way militate against the movement to secure representation in Congress for the citizens of the Dis- trict. Let me say right here that if 1 were convinced that the creation of an advisory committee would tend to obstruct the movement for repre- sentation or to prevent its accom- plishment, T would turn about face at once and oppose this advisory councll, for I believe that representa- tion in Congress for the District and the yight to vote for presidential electors is the most vital undertaking sponsored by the federation and the citizens’ associations. 0ld Slogan Still Potent, I am unable to appreciate the ob- jection raised to the proposed coun- cil on this account. On the contrary it appears to me that closer co-opera.- tion between the Commissioners and a properly selected small group of representative citizens will empha- size the needs of representation in Congress, and will almost surely re- sult in making the Commissioners our active friends in an effort to secure this great reform. No matter what additional powers may be delegated to the Commissioners by the Con- BT , the more intimately the Com- missioners are brought in touch with the citizenship will they be impressed with the desirability of joining with us in the demand for representation in Congress. The powerful slogan, “No taxation without representation,” has not lost its potency. Alien government is no more popular today than it was in the carly history of our country; self- government is as appealing & cry in 1925 as it was in 1776. The District of Columbia has ceased to be merely the main office of the Federal Government.
