Dr. Lewis urged the carrying out |of the plan for the erection of & | group of State bufldings and suggest: led it would be most appropriate if {such structures could be erected in | rime for the celebiation to be held in | Washington in 1932 to commemorate | the 200th anniversary of the birth of | George Washington. | Dr | facilities for education that exist in { Washington and advecated the State building project as a great educa- tional possibility for the hundreds who visit the city. Types of Construction. “These edifices.” he said. . ‘“'might be constructed of building materials found in the State represented. Their rooms cotild contain valuable displays of the products of those States, pic- tures of their historic achievements, relief maps and much other material. These buildings, properly planned and equipped. would constitute a perma- nent exposition unmatched in interest and instructiveness.” Turning’ to the subject | Washington has done for the Nation, the speaker continued manent residents of Washington have contributed largely to the successful building_of a National Capital. Al though Virginia and Maryvland ceded their right to the land which was originally the District of Columbia, it was the land owners who actually zave the land for streets and for Gov- | ernment buflding sites “In the World War the District of § Columbia saw 8314 of her youth vol untarily enlist, a greater number than | that contributed by any one of seven States. Nine thousand six hundred and thirty-one entered by registration. The relative response of the youth of | | Washington to the opportunity for | voluntary enlistment _was one-third | greater than for the United States M general.

It has given it the prestige inseparable from the capital of a great nation. It has given a city plan, comprehensive and practi- cal, beautiful public structu 7 and museums, and countles advantages. But has certain things which tie large thinks that we have a widely prevalent notion people of the District of Columbia exempt from taxation. It is the National Government bears & tain, but constantly decreasing. portion of the expense of maintaining the city. But it is likewise true because of the amount of proper free of taxation—the property occu pied by Federal establishments—and because of the magnificent scale upon which the city is laid out, the ex penses of government are higher than elsewherr Chief Justice Taft's Views. “Chiet Justice Taft, when President of the United States, said in referring to the residents of the District: ‘While they bhave to pay but half of the ex | penses of the eity government, that {half is greater than most cities of Washington's class impose upon their people.’ And after explaining the reason for this he savs. ‘Hence it is that even the half-and-Balf plan leaves Washington a rather heavily taxed community.’ . In opening his address Dr. Lewis declared no two cities in America have more fn common than do Phila delphia and Washington. He recalled !that Philadelphia was the seat of Gov- ernment for prior to the establishment of the capital at Wash. ington. The records show, that there was great unhappiness among those who had to leave the charming life of Philadelphia for that in a place which they called “a capl- tal of miserable huts’ “a ‘city of streets without houses wilderness.” Gowernment officials, he said, welcomed any excuse which would enable them to revisit the former capital. Todav.” Dr. Lewis went on, “we are as happy to come from Washing- ton to Philadelphia as were those early residents. but for a very differ- ent reason. Today we come to the birthplace of independence and affirm the conviction that your capital and ours is in dignity and beauty sur- passed by none in the world.

Thus it comes about that the | mercantile establishments of Wash {ington are of unusually high grade and exceptional financial soundness. Washington has 44 banks with re: sources of $285,000,000 and individual deposits of $210,000,000. “Jyithout being an industrial city, TWashington is still not without manu- faoturing Interests.
