VOTE FOR DISTRICT - URGED BY SMALL Attorney Says Citizens Here ‘Are_Entitled to Birthright _ of Enfranchisement. Five hundred thousan Ameri- ean citizens” in the District of Columbia are entitled to the ht of en- franchisement, and should have repre- sentation in the right to vote for- electors in the electoral college and equal rights in the United States courts. John H. Small, former Representative fi’c% North in , address night from Station WMAL, under auspices of the Citizens’ Joint Committee on National Representation for the District of Columbia. The ad- dress was one of a sei Aarra; by the committee and broadcast through to present to citi- gens of the District a brief discussion of what §s now termed national repre- sgentation. Some press comments and discussions among citizens indicate that the purpose is not clearly understood. I shall avold legal technicalities and Ppresent in simple language the real is- sue. The Constitution was adopted before the seat of the National Govern- ment was established and ‘it provided that when established the Congress should have power exercise ex- cludive legislation in all cases whatso- ever over such District.” (Constitution, article I, section 8, clause 17). When the District was laid out as the seat of Government, Congress assumed this of exclusive legislation, which it ever since exercised. This means that Congress enacts all laws for the ernment of the District and that the dent_appoints all chief executive officials. There is no purpose to change or to modify in any respect this power Congress ‘to exercise exclusive legis- Iat " over the District. Congress will continue to make all laws for the gov- ernment of the District and the Presi- dent will appoint such officials as the Congress authorizes. Cites “Striking Anomaly.” “However, there is one striking anom- aly in this exclusive power of Con- gress to legislate for the District and that is that the District has no repre- sentation in the legislative body which governs its affairs. Congress legislates about the most vital phases of civic life. The rights of persons and prop- erty, the regulation of public health, the laying out of strects; the levying of taxes and appropriation of revenue col- lected from the District are all within the exclusive power of Congress and will so continue. It is not propased that the citizens of the District shall have local self -government: It is simply proposed that the citizens of the District shall have Senators and Repre- sentatives in the legislative body which rwrnl them and shall have the priv- lege of voting for electors in the elec- t‘n-?l collage which chooses their Presi- it. Ask Equal Rights In Courts. “There is one other objective and that is to give citizens of the District the same rights in the courts of the United States as are possessed by citi- | zens of the States. It is proposed to amend the Constitution of the United States so as to confer upon the District these three simple privileges. To secure | this amendment, the Senate and House must pass an appropriate resolution by two-thirds majority, and this r:solu- tion embodying the amendment must be approved by Legislatures of three- fourths of the States. To summarize, it is proposed to amend the Constitution 80 as to give the citizens of the District Tepresentation in Congress which gov- | erns them, to give them the right to yote for clectors and to participate .in the election of a President and to pon- fer upon its citizens equal rights in thé courts. Is there a single intelligent citizen who does not wish and deserve this privilege? Can any valid objec- tion be urged against such an amend- ment? “Let me illustrate by assuming a sim- ilar condition as existing in any city in any State. Suppose the city of Alexandria was totally deprived of local t; that it was governed by further was denied. representation in such General Assembly. Apply the same condition to eany city in the United States with half a million popu- lation. Would any such city supinaly :gl:mlt to be excl{us};’_:ly governed b}; Legislature of State without. representation in such Legulnnn‘:? ’rge‘ query implies its own answer and yet that is percisely the situation which ex- ists in Washington.: For the first 50 years when the seat 'of government was only a beautiful plan and derided as the city of magnificent distances, such ‘ernment without representatién may ::'Ve been tolerated. but in considera- tion of the complexities of modern com- munity life such a condition should not be tolerated. Analyzes “Board of Alderm:=n.” | “The _distinguished Senator from | New York, Senator Copeland, in a Te- cert address before the Chamber of | Commerce referred to Congress as the | common council of the District and referred to himself in the capacity of a member of the board of aldermen of Washington. While this statement is correct, it may be well to inguire who | constitutes this board of aldermen. | Are they residents of the District, fa- miliar with its needs and sympathetic with all its aspirations? Are they tax- payers in the District? Not at all. The House of Representatives is com- posed of 435 members from 48 States. ‘There are 96 Senators. Most of them are strangers to the City of Washington until they assume their legislative duties. Each of these must be nomi- nated and elected by their respective ! congressional districts and States. Each district and State occupies more or less distinct relationship to the Fed- | eral Government. “Their minds are, of necessity, fully | occupied with their official duties and | their political future. Only in excep- | tional instances does any Senatof or member devote any reasonable propor- tion of his time to the complex admin- istration of municipal government in the City of Washington. There is rarely | any Senator or Representative to whom & citizen or any committec of the Dis- trict may appeal with the assurance of | sympathetic consideration or whom they feel entertains any obligation of service to the District. The exceptions are conspicuous. Is it not, therefore, eminently desirable 2nd essential that the citizens of the District have the privilege of electing Senators and Rep- | resentatives who will occupy the same relationship to the District which mem- bers of Congress occupy to their respec- tive districts and States? Congress will still possess the power ‘to exercise ex- ejusive legislation” over such- District, but the District will select from among #s own residents Senators and mem- bers to participate in such exelusive legislation for the District. ' ““This is no new proposition. It has been for many years and has been actively advocated for at least 10 years. A joint citizens’ committee of fhe District. under the leadership of Mr. ‘l;heedm W Noyes, has been intel- tly impress Question upon {‘l’:nDlmrlct Indmtilc Nation.

Certainly, it cannot be said there is such a degree of unanimity and en- Congress. Senators and Representa- tives hear negative. comments in their social contact with business men. Doubts are covertly expressed about the capacity of the ‘voters to select their Tepresentatives in the Congress. Much talk is heard about the confusion and excitement and social disruption at- tendant upon elections. Others express great concern about the capacity of the colored citizen to vote and his rela- tionship to politics and elections. Un- doubtedly, an ancient prejudice was engendered in the past against any sort of exercise of franchise by the people of the District which it is difficult to eradicate. “Perhaps your speaker, who was born in a Southern State, may wenture to discuss briefly the attitude of the col-. ored voter. It would seem obvious that his qualification to exercise the fran- chise in the City of Washington would be superior to that of other cities and communities. Again. it must be recalled that our colored citizens, according to the 1920 census, constitute about 25 per cent of the population of the Dis- trict and’ any evils attendant up elec- tions may be readily regulated and con- trolled. Again, Congress will have the power under this amendment to fix the aunhflcnticns of suffrage and will, un- loubtedly, place limitations and -re- :':‘lfi::om upon the qualifications for Should Assume Burden. “However, the basic proposition re- mains unchanged, and that is the right of citizens of the District to be repre- sented in the Congress which governs them and which levies taxes and appro- priates the revenues. If any citizen op- Poses this proposition, he should have the courage to express himself in the open and give reasons for his attitude. If the District is willing to concede that it is less capablé of selecting its Representatives and Senators than the people of the respective States, they should make the frank admission. . Of course, the exercise of free government is a burden, but one which good citi- Zens must assume. A benevolent auto- crat will relieve the citizens of all re- sponsibility, but such autocracy has been discarded among all people who proposition that the people of the Dis- trict, with half a million population, are entitled to be represented in the -legislative body which governs them is fundamental. No community in this Republic should be deprived of this essential badge of citizenship. “The Congress should pass this reso- lution. to amend the Constitution and submit it to the States upon the as- sumption that the people of the Dis- trict are good American citizens and are entitled to this birthright.” W.
