On his person was found 004 of the loot obtained. dministrators of his estate used $743 of the money for funeral e penses and costs of admumistering the estate The bonding company which re- imbursed the bank, coantended that the administrators could not make such use of the money.

The Day, Nov. 4, 1924 To the Un-Americanized Americans of the District, a Day of Humiliation and Mourning To Other Americans, a Day of National Enthusiasm and TIHEODORE On this day the people of the United States, the citizens of the American States, choose their agents to periorm the execu- tive and legislative functions of the great representative Repub- lic. American sovereignty is not the possession of onc man or of a little group of men, but is distributed among the whole people. Every Amecrican 1s a sovereign in his own right and on this day he exercises this sovereignty as he deposits his vote in the ballot box. To all full-fledged Americans this is a day of national in- spiration and patriotic pride. To the un-Americanized Americans of Washington the day is one of humiliation and mourning. The Americans of the District of Columbia alone are denied the opportunity to cxcrcise now or in future the sovercignty which belongs to them and attaches inseparably to them as Americans. The 437,000 Americans of the District constitute the only community in all the expanse of the continental and contiguous United States—populous, intelligent, public-spirited, of adequate resources—which is denied representation in the national Government. In relation to the national laws the sole function of the District residents is to obey. They take no part in making the laws which they must obey. DISTRICT MORE POPULOUS THAN SEVEN STATES. The Americans of the District of Columbia, according to the census of 1920, outnumber the Americans of seven of the States—\ermont, Idaho, New Mexico, Wyoming, Arizona, Dela- ware and Nevada. They send as agents ta the National Legis- lature to make laws for them: District of Columbia, 0; Vermont. 4; Idaho, 4: New Mexico, 3; Wyoming, 3: Arizona, 3; Delaware, . and Nevada, 3 New Hampshire and Utah exceed very slightly the District in population. They send to the National Legislature to cngage in the councils of the greatest representative Republic in the world: New Hampshire 4 men, Utah 4 men, District of Columba 0 men, Today’s voting is not only for a new Legislature, but for a new Executive. To the clectoral college, which chooses the Presi- dent £f the United States, New Hampshire sends 4 votes, Utah 4, District of Columbia 0. Idaho 4. New Mexico 3, Vermout 4. Arizona 3. Delaware 3. Wyoming 3 3 3 and Nevada In relation to national taxes the sole function of the 437,000 District Americans is to pay. They have nothing to say, like other taxpayers, concerning the amount and kind of taxes they shall pay and how the tax money shall be spent. PAYS MORE NATIONAL TAXES THAN FIFTEEN STATES; MORE THAN FIVE STATES COMBINED. In the fiscal year 1919-20 without any representation what- ever in the taxing body. the District of Columbia paid in national taxes (internal revenue) for nationa! purposes $18645.033 The District of Columbia (with 0 representative in Con- aress) contributed in national taxes to he expended hy Congress for national purposes in war and peace more than 15 States, m- cluding Alabama, with, 123votes in Congress: Mississippi. 10; Arkansas, 9; Florida, 6; South Dakota North Dakota, 3: Montana, 4; Utah, 4; New Hampshire, 4: Vermont, 4: Arizona, New Mex 3: Wyomning, evada, 3 The District of Columbia with no Senators or Represerta- tives contributed in national taxes to the fund from which the salaries of Senators and Represcatatives are paid more than the agerezate of national taxes paid by five States, namely, North Dakota, New Mexico, Nevada, Wyoming and Vermont. RATIO OF TAXATION TO REPRESENTATION 18 to 0. These States combined paid in national taxes $17,520433 and sent to the National Legislature 18 men to vote for them con- cerning the amount and kind of t the tax money should be soent tributed in national taxcs $18,045 no representatives to the . deciding how the tax money <hould be A more flagrant case of taxation without is impossible to conceive In relation to national war the sole function of the 437.000 Americans of the District is to fight in obedience to command. They have no voice like other Americans in the councils which determine war or peace. They have no representation in the :lo;.emmenl which requires them to fight, to bleed and perhaps o die. SENT MORE SOLDIERS TO WAR THAN SEVEN STATES. The soldiers, sailors and marincs furnished by the District in the World War numbered 17945, more than were contributed by any one of seven States, New Hampshire, Vermont, New Mexico, Wyoming. Arizona, Delaware and Nevada. Votes m Congress to make war, to end war, to decide whether our sons shall go to war, are cast by those communities, as follows District of Columbia, 0; New Hampshire, 4; Vermont 4 Mexico, 3; Wyoming, 3; Arizona, 3; Delaware, 3, and Nevada, J. National representation is a distinctive basic right of the xes they should pay and how The District of Columbia con- 33 and was permitted send to participate i and spent. representation it CITY NEWS IN BRIEF.

NOYI American citizen—in a Government of the people, by the people, for the people—in a Government which roots its justice in con- sent of the governed—in a representative (iovernment which i separably couples taxation and arms-bearing as a soldier with representation. Since the 437000 Americans of the District pav national taxes, obey national laws and go to war in the Nation's de'em}-. they are entitled on Ameri principles to be represented in the national (iovernment which taxes them, which makes all laws for them and which sends them to war. 5k How is it that District Americans do not exercise this right and power a vital part of their American heritage? The Constitution makers unintentionally omitted to fix the political status of the future residents of the Ten Miles Square constituting the scat of Government, and unintentionally failed to give Congress the power, analogous to that, which it pos- sessed in relation to the admission of territories to statchood of granting representation in Congress and clectoral college to the population of the District when it became fit An amendment to the Constitution is pending which cor- rects this unintentional omission Without making a State of the District of Columbia, and without depriving Congress of an atom of its constitutional ex- clusive legislative control of the National Capital. it empowers Congress to grant to the people of the District voting represcn- ation in Congress and the clectoral college. whene! in 1ts judgment, they are fit to enjoy this right and to exercise this power. DISTRICT FIT FOR NATIONAL REPRESENTATION. Arc the people of the District it in numbers, intelligence and resources to enjoy these national rights and privileges ot citizens of a State? Yes They are American citizens assem- bled “in sufficicnt numbers in a limited space.” and they meet all the territorial requirements of the community about to be admitted to full statchood. though they are not in this constitu- tional amendment asking statehood for themselves The District exceeds in population every new State in the n at the time of its admission. except Oklahoma The community in intelligence, in public spirit, m patriotic devotion, in every distinctive American characteristic is unsur- pacsed in the United Siates distinctive American privilege of national representa tibn decorates the American with a badge of honor and arms him with power. Its lack slurs the Washingtonian as unfit and defective, and slurs the Nation as in this respect un-Ameri- can and impotent. What the amendment proposes compulsory in accordance with Amer tions.

National representation of the District will proclaim to the 1 that the great Republic is as devoted to the principles ot representative Government and as able of enforcing them as other republics with capitals in nation-controlled districts, hike Mexico.
