6040 PLAN URGED BY CITIZENS' GROUP': Northeast Washington Asso- ciation Votes to Send Appeal to Congress. Northeast Washington Citizens' As sociation unanimously went on record s favoring the 60-40 proportionment of the expenses of the District Gov ernment to be paid by the District and Fedéral Governments, respectively, at the monthly meeting in Ludlow School Jast night. The resolution was introduced by Evan H. Tucker, president of the as. soclation and chairman of the execu o committee, who traced the history of relations between the Federal and Distriet Governments from the en Actmeng of the “organic act” of 1878, in the *present time. He pointed out that the expenses of the District Gov- ernment are gradually Increasins. while the taxable property is decreas ng. The present $9.000.000 Federal apnropriation does not_cover the por- tlon of the District Government ex- penses that it should. he contended. Copies of the resolution were ordeved sent to the Vice President of the U'nited States and the Speaker of the House of Representatives. with a request that they he read into the minutes of both houses.

A favaring tha enac v the present € Afrer veadir Edawin B Hess>, superintendent of police. in which the Iatter stated that 3 policemen are stationed at No. precinct to patrol approximately 30/ city blocks, Mr. Painter submitted a resolution favoring the recent request of the police superintendent that 100 policemen be added to the present istrict force. Maj. Hesse explained in his letter that only 27 policemen are available for duty on any one shift at No. 9 precinct and that on a recent chec up he found but 49 men on duty ther the others heing off on sick or re- quested leave and on special detail. Married Teachers Hit. Another resolution passed favored allowing only single persons to enter normal schools in the District, that praference be given to mormal achool rraduates and single persons in se- Jncting teachers, and that persons who marry while engaged in teaching be retained as long as they are capable. Two new members, C. E. Scott and M. L. Patton. were admitted to th2 association. President Tucker presided. . CAPPER INDORSES 60-40 FISCAL PLAN AND VOICE FOR CITY (Continued from F Painter, and fire that the favoring a of New York for resolution was pa ment of snch a n sim m Mai. of data showing the position of Wash ington nationally in tax and assess- ment matters: for a thorough study of unit of cost of government in this city as compared with others, for the purpose of determining the cost of ex- penditures here which are attributable 1o the Federal Government., and urg- jng that the Board of Trade lend its fullest support to the District Commis- sioners in their petition to Congress for reinstatement of the 60-40 division of costs as between the local and Fed- eral Government. Introduced by President Edwin C. Graham of the Board of Trade as “a true friend of the District.” Senator Capper reaffirmed his deep interest in the welfare of the National Capital and its residents and declared that the ¢ata presented by the Evans commit- tee had convinced him to a greater de- rree that “the taxpayers of Washing- ton are not gelting a square deal from Congress.” Not Giving Fair Share. have been thinking for some time, and am more convinced of it now than er before,” -he said, “that Cangress not now appropriating its fair share of the costs of the National Capital. 1 am opposed to the lump-sum appro- priation.” Congress, he asserted, should return to the plan for a 60-40 division of the costs of the upbuilding and mainte- nance of the Capital of the Nation, as ix now provided in the permanent, sub- stantive law for the District, and he pledged his aid in fighting for fair treatment for matters. Referring to the movement for the passage of the amendment to the Con- astitution of the United States which ‘would empower Congress to grant rep- resentation to the District in both houses of Congress and in the electoral college, Senator Capper declared that had Washington had its own spokes- men in Congress in the past the pres- ent unfair tax apportionment probably never would have come to pass. Senator Capper " declared that he would vote for national representation for the District of Columbia as regu Jarly as the bill providing for this change in local government comes he fore the Senate, until such representa tion for the disfranchised District be- comes a fact . Don't Make Enough Noise. “T am inclined to blame the citizens of Washington a little for the present state of affairs,” he added. “for the reason that you don’t make enough noise in speaking for your rights. Why, if the people of Kansas wers residents of the District. they would have declared ‘war’ on Congress lonx hefore this and would never have stad for unjust treatment—for taxation without representation. “My suggestion to the citizens of Washington would be that you go as fas as you can—not organized rebel lion, of courre—but that Washington in tax ANDIRONS and FIRE SCREENS FRIES, BEALL & SHARP 734 10th St. N.W. ) Connan i 1O 0T PURL More efficient in sealing of pistons, which develops greater power.

Farmers Not Complaining. “The farmers of the Middle Wes feel that they. too, are overtaxed. but I never yet have heard one of them complain against adequate approprin tions toward the cost of the tional Capital,” he said | Taking up_other local matter Senator Capper stated that he w. gratified to note improvement in the public schools of Washington in the past year ¢ but added that there room for much improvement “I also am_very much interested in the proposed m the street roil ways of Washington,” he continued “and it is highly important the Board of Trade make every effort for accom plishment of this merger, which should be along lines that would be 1o the in terest of the public as well as the rail- concerns.” Sen. Capper concluded his brief ad | nmittes of the trade body for its work in making the national tax sur- vey, declaring that in this project the committee had rendered a “very great service” to Washington. D. €. Position Upheld. Tn making : the details of the tax survey M vans declared that the tabulation of the mass of evidence obtained in this tax study had more than substantiated the position of Washington's taxpayers that they now ars bearing a comparatively high tax burden ané one that is out of propor- tion to the ecomomic status of this ty. The survey, he said. had proved the following contentions of Washing- ton: “That the Federal Government {is not paying its just sh; toward | the maintaining and the developing of the Nation’s Capital under the present | limp-sum plan; that the people of { the District of Columbia are carrying | {an undue tax burden when properly | | compared with cities of similar size; | that there is an unusually high burden placed on the local taxpayers hy rea son of service demanded by the Federal Government.” | Pointing to the Injustice of expect |ing Washington to bear as high a ta: burden &s cities with great industrial development. the committee report declared: e are limited here in ou wealth production and the m: por tion of our working population is com- posed of Federal employes, whose in- come is not only notoriously low, but | whose ability to bear the tremendous | increase tax burden is necessarily low {in comparison with the opportunities for commercial and industrial advance- ment in other cities. Limited in Area. “Further, the District of Columbia is limited in area, and, unlike other cities cannot expand. A great portion of its suburban development is now taking place in aryland and Vir- einia, which taxes go to those states. Soon all new development will be out side of Washington. | “We ars mow operating under a | $9.000,000 lump-sum appropriation in | Spite of the law mow existing in the Senate calling for a 60-40 ratio. “Despite many assertions in Con- | gress and clsewhere, as to the gener- osity of the Federal Government to- ward the maintenance of Washington, the following statistics will indicate hat the $9,000,000 lump sum ix now less than a 7325 ratio, and will, it maintained in the fuce of the increas- ing cost of administering the city. | undoubtedly resolve itselt into an almost negligible burden assumed by the Federal Government. as compared with that which will be borne by us. Divislon of Tax Burden. *A list of the proportionate amount, as borne by the local: taxpayer and the Federal Government, since 1920 will emphasize this: | Amount pay- ble by United States T1R.H05.68 1456, High Assessment Shown. ‘The tax survey, Mr. Evans reported, showed that Washington has a per capita assessment of $2,178, this being second only to that of New York City. “The latest check-up shows that there { are 84,883 employes of very descrip- | tion, both ci e and otherwi: in the District,” he added. “The an- nual pay roll for this total group is $128,000,000 per annum, making the average salary $1,510 per annum. Thus it will be seen that Washington's per capita assessment is some $668 more than the average salary paid by the Government to its employes.” Pointing to the fact that only 60 per cent of the property in Washington is taxable, the committee report showed that the assessments in other cities, many of which are virtually twice the | of Washington and one of which is seven times as large, are much | smaller than here. This list shows |that while Washington has a total assessment for the current year of $1.- 150,000,000. Milwaukee has a total a sessment of $691,000,000; Portland, Oreg., $473,000,000; Dayton, $253,000.- 000 Pittsburgh, $1,060,000,000, and Baltimore, $1,059,000,000.

The committee also’ presented statis tics showing the unit cost of the oper- ation to be abnormally high in com parison with other cities—a fact held be due to the estra large expendi- tures here by reason of the location of the National Capital in the District The survey showed the cost of the maintenance of the District gov- ernment to range from 75 to S0 per cent of the total budget, whereas in other citles it was much lower. The committee mentioned among probable easons for this high maintenance the demands made on us in the of street cleaning, policin, pairing. giving fire protection, mains and sewers, giving free water service—paying for matters that are duly national in character.” Inasmuch as the tax on real estate in the District produces the lion’s share of the local revenues, the report points out, the 70,000-odd persons who pay reaity taxes here are shouldering the greater portion of the 75 per cent of the burden of the upkeep of the National Capitol, while the other 120, M 1 000,000 people of the Nation pay less than 25 per cent. Business Taxes Heavy. A further survey made by the com- mittee showed that Washington is raising more revenue from business taxes, licenses. taxes on banks, public utilities and iIntangible property per $100 value and per capita than many cemparable cities. The report was adopted by unani- mous vote, and President Graham stated that after additional data now being gathered by the committee are completed the entive report probably would be published for use in the ef- fort to obtain a reform of local tax matters. Besides Senator Capper, honor guests at the session were Senator Jones, Representative Zihlman, chair- man of the House District committee: District Commissioners Doughtery and Taliaferro and Maj. W. E. R. Covell and Capt. H. C. Whitehurst, Assistant Engineer Commissioners. N. U. TESTS TO START. Examinations in Economics Begin Tomorrow.
