The District has been pro- nounced a State under a treaty with France, a construction conferring priv- ileges on aliens, but not a State under the Constitution, whose peoplé can sue in the Federal courts. The District is a State when direct taxes are to he collected, but not a State when repre- sentatives are apportioned, though the Constitution couples the two things. The District is not a State to make and carry out through a State Legislature laws for its own benefit, but it is now repraached as a State because it es- capes the tax burden incident to the exercise of this privilege of a State. The District is not to he a State to enjoy any of the political, judicial and financial henefits, privileges and rights of a State, but is to be a State to the extent that the equitable tax burden of its people must include State taxes. When Washington is part of a State and enjoys the expenditure within it of its due share of the State fund to which thousands of State citizens out- side of its limits contribute it will he time to permit State taxation to enter into its comparatiye per capita tax | res.

Let us consider if the principle is not sound which requires that taxes to be equitably compared should be |p-m by contributors substantially in the same area, to be distributed to beneficiaries in the same area, and for the benefit of that area alone. Large cities dominate or include the figu like Baltimoreans, Marylanders again, with all the Marylanders' rights and privileges as citizens -of a State, it wil time to charge against the Washingtonian in comparison _with the Baltimorean the State tax which the latter pays. not as a_Baltimorean but as a Marylander. When Wash- inglon has Senators. Representatives and a State Legislature it will be time for it to pay for such luxuries in the shape of a State tax. Vast Material State Benefits. Of course, the main consideration for | the payment of State taxes is the en- joyment of the political power and pres- tige Involved in participation in the National Government on_equal terms with other Americans. To be trans- formed through statehood from the status of political aliens to that of full- fledged Americans, with all the powers. rights and privileges appertaining to that status, confers a benefit upon the | individual of a value not to be calcu- lated in dollars and cents; and depriva- tion of this benefit involves a loss which is also incalculable. Every one, therefore. will recognize the justice "of Washington's prot against. being taxed ,to correspond to what other cities pay o maintain a State government, since the District under the Constitution and the laws enacted by Congress is not permitted the right, privilege and benefit of en- joying and maintaining a State govern- ment. But very few persons in the whole United States appreciate the scope of the material benefits in boun- ties and subsidies which attach to statehood of which Washingtonians are wholly deprived. Our citizens’ joint committee brief in 1915 recited the mil- lions which in the past had been dis- |23 States, and Alaska and Hawali, 2 | Territories. Ipaid to the States by the Nation with ipts for 1924 by States, including the glumct of Columbia. { This table gives the total internal revenue receipts from the District in 1924 at $27.542,527. A foot note on page 99 notes t this amount in- cludes over $9,000,000 back taxes on alien property. Let us then compare the District's abnormal total of over $27.000,000 with the payment of other States, precisely as both figures are given by the commissioner of in- ternal revenue in his report. And let. us also compare what may be viewed as the District’s normal pa; ment with those of the States by sub- tracting the $9.000.000 of back taxes and leaving a payment into the Treas- ury for the year of $18.000.000 plus. Crediting the District with the pay- ment of $27,542527, it paid into the Treasury more than 30 States and 2 Territories: ie. Alabama. Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Towa. Kansas, Louisidna, Maine, Mississippi. Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, ‘Washington, West Virginia and Wyo-. ming—30 States: and Alaska and Hawaii—2 Territories.

FEBRUARY 4. 1929 ing of actual normal tax payments) compares with those of eight States approximating the District in size, as follows: According to the official re- port, .Jnational aid in relation to na- tional taxes is less for the District than for the States of Arizona, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming. and is less than half of the average percentage of these eight States. According “ to the revised figures of Federal -tax payments by the District. which reduce the total tax payments by the District in 1924 to those which are current and normal, the District's percentage of less than 50 is a little more than Arizona, 42: Idaho. 45.08. and Wyoming, 42.14: about the same as Montana, 48.97, and less than South Dakota, 60.24: North Dakota, 89.05; New Mexico, 98.91, and Nevada, 116.31. These payments to the States are made on the 50-50 basis—that is. the Federal dollars are to he matched by State dollars—in precise accordance with the wise half-and-half policy in relation to the Capital of the law of 1878. This policy is so sound and beneficial that it is wisely employed today in the Nation’s relations to the States; surely in the light of this vin- dication and reaffirmation it will be retained in spirit and principle at least in the relations of Nation and Capital. where for nearly hal century it has demonstrated its wisdom and benef- icence. Surely the Nation will not to- day adopt the policy anew in relation to the States and discard it and the tribution upon which it is based in the Nation's relation to the National | Capital.

They are separate and distinct in per- sonnel of contributors, in purposes of | creation, in scope and area of distri-| bution. 1f the comparison, for instance, is| between Washington and Baltimore | there should equitably be compared what Washingtonians pay for expendi- ture in Washington and what Balti- moreans pay for expenditure in Baltl- more. What Washingtonians pay for | expenditure in Washington ~ cannot equitably be compared with what Bal- timoreans pay for expenditure in Balti- more plus what they pay as Matyland- ers for the maintenance of a sovereign State and for expenditure in that State. One might as well inject into the comparison of city burdens a consid- cration of what the Baltimorean pays in national taxes as an American for expenditure on account of the United States, including Baltimore. In other words, the taxes that the Baltimorean pays as a Marylander or as an American have nothing to do with city caleulations and compari- sons. In the different cases there are not the same persons contributing, not the same, area_ within which expendi- tures are made, and not.the same heneficiaries of these expenditures. Baltimore taxes are paid by Balti- moreans only, and are spent in Balti- {more only. The Marylanders who gre in Baltimore contribute State taxes in common with ‘thousands outside of Baltimore, {o be spent not in Balti- more but in all Maryland. Washing- ton has not the benefit of outside con- tributions to a State fax in the enjoy- ment_of which it participates. It has | no State relations or privileges or benefits. Tt has been contended that the| Washingtonian receives the same hen- | efits through his city government | alone that are enjoyed by the resi- | dents of other cities through their city, county and State governments, and that the Washingtonian's city tax should equal the combined city, coun- | ty and State taxes of residents of other | cities. What are the benefils enjoyed by the citizen of a State which constitute the real consideration for the State taxes | which he pays? If he lives in a large | city of the State, is it the driblet of State expenditures which the counties permit to get through to the city? No. The State tax which he pays is essen- tial to his status as citizen of a State and to his enjovment as such citizen of political and ju ‘cial rights of in- estimable value ana of large financial | benefits. What comparable benefits are enjoy- ed by Washington? State taxes are paid that one may I'enjoy with thousands outside of one's home city the privilezes and henefits | of citizens of the State, including rep- resentation in Congress and the elec- toral college and in a State Legislature; 2 recognized status in the United | States Supreme Court, and the finan- | cial benefits which come from enjoy- ment of the land grants. bounties and | so forth, which the Nation has lav- ished upon the States. These land grants amount to 186, 524323 acres of the public domai These money donations include hun- dreds of millions. The_payment of taxes as the citizen of a State gives the taxpayer his pro- | portionate share in these financial benefits. The Washingtonian enjoys no part in these grants, bounties and benefits as citizen of a State. Why should he pay or have charged against him as part of his equitable tax bur- den the taxes which are incidental to the status of State citizens and which are one condition of the enjoyment of these financial benefits? The Washingtonian has none of these political or judicial rights or privileges. Why should his fair tax burden be held to include what the State citizen pays in connection with the actual enjoyment of these inesti- mable rights, privileges and benefits?

Each one provides for close co-operation between the Federal Government and the State, and gives the Federal officers (|| great, powers over the co-operating State | agency. | tually declare certain State officials to | be agents of the National Government in certain of their activities. The re-| quirement that the State must match ||/ national appropriations from State or | local sources is common to all the acts.
