AR TAX DVSION SKEDFORDISTRCT oshua Evans, Jr., Explains to Nation Why Residents Here Protest. “All that the people of Washington is that they be asked to carry a tax burden and to pay a fair share toward the upkeep of their city and jthe National Capital, aud that ex- ftraordinary expenses, due to the fact at this is the National Capital, over and above what is a falr tax burden, lbe met by the Federal Government.” This “was the gist of an address broadcast last night over Station 'WMAL by Joshua Evans, jr, vice president of the District National Bank and chairman of the municipal finance committee of the Washington Board of Trade, who branded the pres- ent situation as “injustice to the peo- ple of Washington.” Mr. Evans urged Americans everywhere to support the resolution of the board, which has asked Congress to authorize the Presi- dent of the United States to appoint a committee of nationally known econ- omists, financiers and business men to study the fiscal relations of the District of Columbia and the’ Federal Govern- in respect to National Traces Fiscal History. Mr. Evans traced the history of fiscal relations beginning with a period of no support by the Federal Government down through the period of 50 per cent support to the present, when he said the Federal Government was paying only about 25 per cent, with citizens and taxpayers making up the re- mainder, 75 per cent. Quoting from both President Cool- idge and President Hoover concerning the significance and importance of the National Capital city, the speaker also broadcast the conclusions of the con- gressional select committee of 1915-6 as follows: “Our unanimous conclusion is that the rate of taxation in the District should be fixed and certain; that the Congress should pursue a definite policy of regular and liberal appropri~ ations, having in view not only the permanent moral and physical advance- ment of the city, but also its pre-emi- nent beauty and grandeur as ‘the municipal expression of the Nation's home and its people’s pride.” Program National in Scope. “But some people will say,” continued Mr. Evans, “that the Federal Govern- ment has already entered upon a build- ing program for the City of Washing- ton upon which millions of dollars will be spent fgom the Federal Treasury during the mMext few years. But it must be borne in mind that this building %ngrflm is national in scope, and, while ashington shares generously in its provision, it is quite incumbent upon the ‘Government to house its officials and employes in buildings of dignity, where the working conditions will be beyond criticism and a credit to this great Na- tion. It is true that those . buildings will add to the ‘beauty of Washington. On the other hand, they will make for more efficient administration of the Government’s business. And we should Temember that Washington taxpayers are making their contribution to this program through the Federal taxes paid. Our Federal income taxes alone are greater than those of any of the following States: Arizona, Idaho, Mis- sissippi, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Utah, Vermont and ‘Wyoming. Ask Only Fair Share, “It is not the purpose of the citi- Zens of Washington to avoid their just responsibility as taxpayers. We do not expect that we are to be let off lightly, but we do expect fair play. All that the people of Washington urge is that they be asked to carry a fair tax burden and to pay a fair share toward the upkeep of their city and the National Capital, and that extraordinary ex- penses, due to the fact that this is the ‘National Capital, over and above what is a fair tax burden, be met by the Federal Government. “We want this long-standing and bickering controversy of years to be ended and to be settled in a scientific manner, based on economics and just principles. We feel ‘that this is a fair Tequest and we solicit the co-operation of every citizen of the United States interested in his National Capital to see that this is done. ““The need for such a commission may not seem a matter of necessity to those who are not fully acquainted with the intricate details’ that enter into this COOL CLOTHES THE EVENING STAR, WA y 3 ) y . problem. it intermingling and spect g mh“yég:mmfi?:znmfi as can only satisfactorily worked out through a competent and impartial group. = Cagry Major Burden. “Here in Washington, for instance, the taxpayers.carry the major burden of many Government functions which are ordinarily borne by the State in other jurisdictions. For instance, the support of the National Guard, the in- sane asylum, to which people from every State for all sorts of hallucina- tions are committed; our Supreme Court, in which a great many of the expensive Federal litigations, such as the oll trials, etc., are conducted, falls 75 per cent upon the District of Co- PLAY SAFE— Gargle Often After long ex| after mingling w = with sure to bad weather, after sudden changes of temperature, with crowds—gargle Listerine, the safe antiseptic when lumbia taxpayers and 25 per cent upon the Federal Government. “While the Federal Government con- tributes to the upkeep of the National Capital in this limited degree, it &also gives large subventions to various States for road building, education and various improvements. “In addition to the purely mathe- matical problem of taxation is the ability to pay on the part of Wash- ingtonians, due to the peculiat eco- nomic situation of the Capital. All these important factors, together with many others, create a nice problem which, if solved on a scientific basis, needs the consideration of some of the best minds of the country. “What I should like to impress upon the people of the Nation is that the solving of this problem will not only you get home.

In the coming years Washington should be not only the art center of our own country, but the art center of the world. Around it should center all that is best in science, in learning, in letters and in art.” “The Washington Board of Trade is satisfied that the Washington taxpayers are meeting their full responsibility in the furtherance of this idea, and we recognize that there is an honest dif- ference of opinion as to what extent Congress should do more. The board is willing to let its case rest with the commission suggested. Will Congress do likewise?"” —_— Business of railways in France cone tinues to increase. ONE . POUND Cor. Connecticut & Fla.
