But will the Federal Government be any preme when trict sit in There will still be but one sovereignty in the District; one law, one source of power and luthorlt.y “The exclusive jurisdiction of Con-|Col gress over the District is one the composition of the mernbenhlp of cun- gress is another = thing. hmeartily with those members lho wuh to prevent anything thlt would impair in the slightest degree the sovereignty of the National Government. \'ote Planned for District. “It is easy to prove that the fathers never had it in_their minds that the people of the District of Columbia should be a species of voteless political animals devoid of all organs for the ex- pression of their soclal will. When they established the District not only dld they leave the two municipal govern- ments of Alexandria and Georgetown in full blast, but they set up a brand- new one for the City of Washington— also d on popular suffrage. That these municipalities, with only occa- sional help from Congress, struggled un- successfully to maintain a city planned for the capital of an empire is not to the point. The point is that this people was not, and was never intended to be, voteless. “When we come down to moern times and draw attention to our present population, our contribution in Federal taxes, our contribution in men and in money in the Great War, we are met by a flank attack. In this population, they say, there are a lot of people who claim a voting residence in the States. “Well, is any one surprised? So long 7 as participation in Government is de- nied here, some -of our peopls will be tempted to exercise their cherished political rights elsewhere. For the most part, however, such outside residence is a legal fiction. Question Is Purely Personal. “But ‘what has that to'do With" the question? The question is not whether John Brown or John Robinson shall vote for President and for members of Congress. The question is whether this Diatrlcb—whlch ‘hief Justice Marshall, vears ago, talledl a ‘distinct ‘sociéty—" shall go forever without representation in Government. The question is not whether some individual shall some- but whether a living community of 500,000 Americans shdll hhve ho voice‘in the legishtive councils of the country. “Now for the remedy. You will note ain c'gz that the proposed amendment simply confers a new power on Congress. Congress will have power to grant to the people of the District at- the-ap- 't | propriate moment the right of national | D" representation; that is to say, the right THE | t5 have representation in Congress ac- cording to their population, and cor- responding representation among the elettors’ who cheose the President.and Vice President. “The very modesty of this proposal is made a ground of objection. “Why, it is said, do you leave it to new States. Representation in the Na- tional Government must of necessity be dependent upon population and other conditions of fact. What better means of dealing with it, then, can be found than to leave the determination of the time and conditions to Congress? “If Congress does not think that our population of half a million justifies representation, it may wait until it grows to 600,000 or to 700,000, or even to 1,000,000, which it will doubtless at- tain before many years. If Congress does not think that a contribution in Pederal taxes greater than that of any one of 15 or 16 States is sufficient evi- dence of capacity, it can wait until the ratio shall be still greater in favor of the District. But Congress must first be given the constitutional power. Asks Only for Rights. “The amendment, when adopted by the States, will establish the ht in point of principle. It negatives the as- sumption that never, under any con- ditions whatever, shall the people o) this District participate in the Govern- ment whose laws they must obey. The time when, and the circumstances un- der which, such right shall be finally accorded are left to the decision of the rightful authority, the Congress of the Whn can be fairer or more reasonable? “We ask nothing that imperils the structure of the Constitution or the safety of the state: nothing incon- sistent with the 'lhplm and purpole of the founders; nothing harmful to rest of our fellow citizens. “We ask only what every civilized community asks, and what every civil- ized community but ours already enjoys. “Some very practical-minded man indeed may put the question: What do you expect to get by it? “Our answer is: We expect to get |w; by it just what every other American community gets. Ask the people of any part of these States to surrender existing right of plrm:lpllhn in the National Government; and, if demur, demand what they get by l{ The answer will be short and quick. Surely no American audience 'would expect argumentative answer to that question.” Gives Woman's Side of Issue.

For & number of years we have carried the word ‘voteless’ in our official name as a silent protest against the disfranchise- ment of inhabitants of the District of lumbia. “Tonight I am going to take the op- portunity, as spokesman for the league, to make that protest emphatic. Surely an emphatic protest is justified when American citizens are denied the most precious right known to democratic gov- ernment—the right to participate in the election of the Chief Magistrate of the Nation and to be represented in both houses of the Congress of the United States. “We are especially happy to extend our greetings to the distinguished woman members, of whom there are a larger number than ever before. Without ex- ception, they are women who because of their ability and integrity represent the best of our citizenship and are a credit to American womanhood. We are proud of them. We are especially proud of the great advance that been made since 1920, when by consti- tutional amendment millions of dis- franchised women were raised to the stature of full citizenship. D. C. Women Aided Fight. “In the struggle to win this funda- mental right for their sisters in all the States, the women of the District of Columbia were among the most effective workers, although they knew that they themselves, under prevailing conditions. could not benefit by the passage of the amendment. It is because of this, and because the women of the Nation—ex- clusive, of course, of the District of Co- lumbia—were so srecently enfranchised, that the voteless condition of the resi- dents of the District makes an especial appeal to the inherent sense of justice of American women. “The National League of Women Voters, &« Nation-wide organisatiom of !nmrd-lookinl women, has formally indorsed the project for national repre- sentation for the District of Columbia and has given it a definite place on its national program. * * * ‘e .of the District of Columbia League are confident that with the backing of our great parent organiza- tion success is assured. ““The right of women to vote ‘was won after a smpendoua struggle in the face of relentless, opppsition. The organized women of Nation won that battle to correct an injustice. They are just as determined to wipe out this unjust discrimination against almost half ‘a million inhabitants of the District of Columbia. t zed women done Beforé théy do again: and they have demoumwd that they have the habit of success! “In this instance, however, we women are not working alone, Far from it! We are proud to be working shoulder to shoulder with the public-spirited men of the District to win this fundamental right, to vmch men and women alike are entitled.” OFFICIAL WELCOME ON LANDING IN U.

Senator Vandenberg, Republican, of Michigan, and a member of the Senate District committee, announced today that he would ask the Census Bureau ther this additional information e the 1930 census is being taken bec-uu he believes exact tn{m-mnzlon on this point is important in consider- ing the question of the disfranchised Washington residents.

It is expected an effort will be made to take up the combined bill in the Senate following farm relief. As reported from the committee, the bill provides for taking the census in November of this year, instead of in May, 1930. The section of the bill deal- ing with reapportionment of the House is reported in the exact form which it was introduced Thursday by Senator v-ndanberg providing for an nutomlfic rtionment in the event Congress :haud fail to take action specifically at the end of any 10-year period. Considers Number Basic Factor. Senator Vandenberg said he regarded the question of the number of voters and non-voters in the District as one of the basic facts to be ascertained in arriving at a solution of the problem. He indicated that his position was that of seeking full information on the subject. His request for the collection of this additional information at the same time the population is being counted will not be sent to the Census Bureau until the pending census bill is enacted into law. | COLUMBIA PLAYERS REVIVE OLD DRAMAS “Ten Nights in a Barroom” to Be Presented at Ward- man Park Theater. ‘The pls ‘en Nights in a Barroom,” the first of a series of old plays to be revived by the Columbia Players, will be presented in the Wardman Park Thea- ter Tuesday night under auspices of Ll‘\:w Community Drama Guild of Wash- Mrs. Aurora M.

It is alleged that he persuaded the manager of the bana to send him 875, which was used to pay costs to obtain the York man’s release from prison. Smith went back to jail today when he was arrested on a charge of giving fraudulent checks to pay for meal tick- ets he presented to the members of the band. Reduced Rents 1725 Lanier Place N.W.
