THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON D. C, MARCH - 30, 1930—PART ONE A—S§ VOTE FOR DISTRT URGED BY HEKEY Indiana Representative | Broadcasts Unfair Situation Over Station WMAL. | The fact that the people of the Dis- trict of Columbia are denied a voice at the ballot box constitutes an anomalous situation that should be remedied at once, Representative Andrew J. Hickey of Indlana declared last night in a radio address Speaking from Station WMAL under auspices of the Citizens' Joint Com- mitteé on National Representation for the District, Representative Hickey de- clared that, notwithstanding the Dis- trict has a population of 500,000 and is one of “the most progressive communi- ties in the United States.” the oniy re- sponsibilities of citizenship they are ac- corded “are those which a beneficent autocracy might grant to a subject people.” Belleves States Will Ratify. Referring to the proposed amendment to the Constitution which would give national representation and the right to vote for President to legal residents of the District, Representative Hickey . 8aid he was convinced that if it were approved by both houses of Congress the Legislatures of the States would ratity it “Though this proposed amendment is far short of granting the District what is justly due, it will be a long step in the right direction,” he asserted. “The | American people believe in a square | deal for all, and so I am convinced that when the Legislatures of the several States consider officially the unjust and un-American system of government REPRE from all of the other citizens of this great Republic. They must pay taxes yet they have no voice in saying how much or why. They must submit to CALLS FOR VOTE HERE AS RIGHT ATIVE AXDREW J. HICKEY. Which controls the District, they will be quick to ratify such a resolution and thus make the District a government of the people, by the people and for the people.” Representative Hicke, Jows. in full: “The District of Columbia has a pulation of more than 500,000 and one of the most progressive com- munities in the United States Its people are public-spirited, patriotic, and in every sense meet the most exacting tests of citizenship. Washingtonians | pay taxes on their property, which is y's address fol- | all the laws that Congress may impose upon them, but have no voice in their making. They must obey every ordi- nance and regulation of the Govern- ment, defend it in war and support it in peace. yet are not privileged to sub- mit to the legislative body that controls them, through legally elected represent- atives, a word of advice or protest. This surely un-American, in conflict with e Declaration of Independence, in con- flict with the spirit of the Constitution, with the spirit of our institutions, and with the fundamental rights of & pro- gressive, intelligent people; and with the spirit of the most advanced and en- valued high above the average, without | having a word to say about the manner in which the taxes shall be used. Any government should be proud of such a citizenry, but the people of the District do not enjoy the advantages of Amer- ican citizenship. The only responsibilities of citizenship they are accorded are those which a beneficent autocracy might grant to a subject people. For under the Constitution of our founding fathers, the people of the Capital of |status of the people of the District of the greatest, the mightiest nation must | Columbia has been a matter of comment be classified as a subject people.

In order to fully appreciate why this unusual provision was written into the Constitution, it is necessary to under- stand the conditions existing at the time the Constitution was adopted. “The Colonies had just emerged from a long. exhausting struggle for inde- pendence. Every effort was exerted by our leading statesmen to establish & strong Federal Government. A con- venient and accessible location for a capital was of material concern to the people of all the States, but no definite lace had been selected at the time the ang’ung@ referred to was incorporated in the Constitution. At that time the country consisted of a sparsely settled | group of States along the Atlantic sea- board with no thought or dream of its potential possibilities as a nation. The most hopeful enthusiast for the coun- try of that day could not. did not lightened age in history. Suffrage Struggle a Long One. “The struggle for suffrage for the people of the Distirct of Columbia has | continued for many years. It has been | advocated by many far-seeing people and by many leading statesmen of the Nation since 1801 and favored by Presi- dents Madison, Jackson, William Henry Harrison and Johnson. The peculiar trict more than ever before have been engaged in that age-old struggle to achieve what they conceive to be the | fundamental rights of every people capable of self-government, the right of suffrage and the right to participate in the Government to which they owe sentatives in both Houses of the Con- gress of the United States. “There is now pending before both houses of Congress a joint resolution proposing an amendment to the Con- e and limited representation to the legal resi- dents of the District of Columbia. Though this proposed amendment is far short of granting the District what is | justly due, it will be a long step in the | right direction and if approved by both | houses of Congress, I feel assured it will be ratified by the State Legislatures. The American people believe in a square deal for all and so I am con- vinced that when the Legislatures of | the several States consider officially the | unjust and un-American system of gov- | ernment which _controls the District, they will be quick to ratify such a reso- lution and thus make the District a government of the people, by the people, {and for the people. | “Enlightened public opinion through- {out the nation is supporting a policy | of development in a public-building pro- | gram in Washington, so as to make it visualize the growth and wealth and|an ideal Capital city, a city in keeping power of the nation of 1930. * The total | with its cultured and splendid popula- population was not in excess of six | tion, a city satisfactory to the high and - | torfum for tuberculosis children. ¥ |tor Capper has sponsored legislation | the past 10 years the people of the Dis- | allegiance through duly elected Repre- | times the present population of the Dis- trict of Columbia.
