These addresses also will be car- | ried over the country-wide network of | the National Broadcasting Co. In his address last night, Jones spoke in part as follows “I am talking not to the people of the District of Columbia but in_their | behalf. I am speaking to the people outside. I hope many will listen in. I have a message I wish could come to | Senator | “every | every citizen of every State in our land. | unjust “Washington City is the Capital of | he greatest Nation and the most en- | lightened people in th» world. It has | a population of over 550,000 pmmv} that will compare in intelligence, re- | finement, education, morality, culture | and progressiveness with that of any city in the ‘Union. “These people, however, are in a con- | dition different from that of the peo- | ple of any other city in this country or | in the world. The capitals of other Nations are a part politically of their respective countries, and their residents are citizens of these countries, with all the rights and privileges of all other | citizens. "So it is with the capitals of | our States and their citizens. This is as it should be. Moving Capital Proposed. “It is often proposed that the Na tion's Capital should be moved away | from here. Other cities would like to | be made the Capital of this great coun- | try. and it is often said that their citi- zens would be willing to furnish sites and erect the necessary buildings if they could have the Capital located in their midst. Do those who propose this realize what it would mean? “Are the people of Chicago, St. Loui: San Francisco, or of my own city of Se- attle, willing to be made the Capital of this great country on the basis of Washington City? Would the people of any of these citles, to gain this po- sition for their city, be willing to fore- go the privilege of voting for President and Vice President of the United States; to give up their right to vote for, and have, Senators and Representatives in Congress; to surrender the right to | vote for governor end officials of their | States, members of their State Legis i latures, county and even their city of- ficlals? Would they be willing to put in the hands of outsiders the right to say to them what taxes they shall pay and what the money raised shall be used for? “That is the situation in the District of Columbia. Its citizens, as a whole, rights of the ordinary citizen. It is true that a comparatively few, who are filling positions of one kind and an- other, retain their citizenship in the | States from whence they come, but | many sre unable to avail themselves of thess rights because they cannot afford the expense of going home to exercise them. Denied Citizens’ Rights. “The people of the District of Co- lumbia must meet the obligations of vital of a citizen’s rights. If we are at war, its sons must fight and die, while its citizens and capital must share in the Nation's burdens. In time of peace, the burdens of government must be borne by them as by other | citizens, though they have no say what- | ever as to what these burdens may be. | Its governing officials are appointed by | the President in whose selection, they | have no voice whatever. The laws | governing and controlling its citizens and their property, general as well as of a purely local character, are passed without even consulting them, and by those whose interests and homes are elsewhere. “Its citizens have nothing to say as| to the levying, collecting and spending | of the taXes upon their property and | their income. All they can do is to The citizens of no other capital in the world are treated like the citi- zens of Washington, nor are the cit zens of our State capitals treated like them in any way, “‘Oh,’ it is said, ‘the people here get 5 | the benefit of these magnificent Federal | E ¢ | bulldings put up with SOSTON BOAVARSBORG, VA roronrs onds D E AR sToRAGE CO., T R TR W T A Ry 5 There’s THIS Difference!

But the city became involved in financial difficulties, because of a patri- otic attempt to fuifill the early plans for the finest capital in the world. Congress thereupon came to the aid of the city but deprived it of representa- tion either in council. assembly, legisl ture or Congress.
