A woman's heart peats fn response to the same’ cord which prompts men to desire and strive for good government and they are in the same manner effected by government; the recognition of this principle was responsible for the nineteenth amend- ment. The women of the District are intelligent, courageous American eiti- zens and should be aceorded the same privilege of enfranchisement as the | women of the States, They are prop- erty owners, pay taxes and are the mothers of men and should be placed upon the same basis as other citizens of the United States when it comes to the privilege of franchise. There can or satisfactory government representation by all citizens. It is herdly necessary to emphasize these general qualifications for the women of the District of Columbia, for the tion of these principles re- garding women of the eountry been written into the Constitution. “It must be remembered that the women of the District of Columbia took an active part in the cunplifn for the suffrage amendment even though they realized at the time that they would reap no personal benefits. They recognized that the suffrage amend-; ment would not apply to them unless a | subsequent amendment would permit District residents to be given represen- tation in both houses of Congress and the electors] college..

The District of Columbia, répresenting nearly 600,000 inhabitants,' stands for those cherished prineiples as outlined in this national slogan, and yet these intelligent and atriotic Americans are denied a part the making of the laws which gov- ern ‘them and which they must obey regardless of their origin. Can't Control Expenditures. “The residents of the District are re- quired to bear both Federal and local taxes, yet have no part in deciding what those taxes shall be or what dis- position will be made of the resulting tax money. “In speaking of texes and remem- bering all lack of representation in the Government we are constantly re- minded of the Boston Tea Party of 1773. You all recall how the American colonists protested against the duty which had been placed upon tea by the British. We all recall the _thrilling events which led up to that spectacular occasion, the various attempts to use the Colonies as a source of. revenue to help pay off the heavy English public debt. The colonists protested that has they should not be taxed by the par- liament in England when they had no part in the levying of these taxes upan them. The English contended that any member of parliament in England rep- resented the whole country and that | the American colonists being a part of England were thus represented. The idea of the colonists was vastiy dif- ferent from this, because they believed that the voter and the person voted for must be residents of the same dis- trict. When Great Britain attempted to force the tea on the Colony of Mas- sachusetts in the face of these protests & band of so-called Indians on the night of the 16th ber, 1773, boarded the vessels and dum the tea into Boston Harbor. is a striking larity between ditions g in the Colonies in those prevailing in the Dis- trict of Columbia in 1930, - “Let me reassure you, however, that we are not at this time proposing any actions of violence such as wielding the axes on boxes of tea or anything of that sort. In contem g the Boston Tea Party we sometimes overlook the fact that the tax on tea was as live an issue in this neighborhood in early 1774 as it was in Boston, for following the Boston Tea Party the port of Boston was closed and consignments of tea had to find other means of entries through the Colonies.

By the Associated Press. . LONDON, April 12.—All eyes are on Philip Snowden, Labor chancelior of the exchequer, as Monday, the d‘f for pres- entation ot the first budget of the pres- ent Labor government draws near. He showed the world at The Hague that he knew how to say “no,” and he has been very firm in repeating thal negative every time Winston Chyrchill, former chancellor, has asked him to re- veal in Parliament his ‘rrnunt budget intentions. Conssquently there has has been a lot of guessing about what he intends to do, but very few persons aotually ki and they are not talking. Snowden's ition is peculiar. Po- litical necesai| !g demands that he nhnr his budget with one eye on Liberal party support. Financial necessity almost de~ mands that he, a staunch free trader, retain some of the tariffs imposed by the last Conservative government. Estimates Give Idea. As most of the principal estimates for the coming fiscal year have been pub- lished, some idea of the financial situa- tion of the British government can be gleaned. It is known that Mr. Snodwen must rovide for an ordinary expenditure of 804,000,000, nét including the sink- ing fund or rating relief for the new financial year which started -April 1, whieh is an increase of $200,000,000 over last year. Of this increased expendi- ture, the finan experts think Mr. Snowden will be able to effect a saving of $75,000,000 which will leave him task of finding the re- maining $125,000,000 by the imposition he will do it is the ques- tion everyone the Conservative party. is asking, particularly The features of last year's budget, in- troduced on April 15, 1929, by Mr. Churchill, were the repeal of the tea taxes and the substitution of special rates for book-makers' telephones for the betting taxes. Fixed Cost of Strike. Churchill estimated the cost of the general strike and the coal subsidy at $400,000,000, but claimed that the restoration of the gold standard had briught about a fall in the cost of liv- ing equivalent to the remission in in: direct, taxation of $800,000,000 a year.

By the Associated Pre ‘Warfare broke out on Capitol Hul' yesterday over proposals for Federal ac~ quisition of the Erie Canal in New York State and the Illinols waterways, but after President Hoover had inter- vened, House leaders stood by their de- cisions for these projects despite Senate threats. Senator Vandenberg, Republican, of Michigan, went to the White House and told the President “there will be no rivers and harbors legislation if the Erle Canal pro%ecv' 1s kept in the rivers and harbors bill. He said it would “throttle” the 8t. Lawrence River waters way scheme. v ealled in Cheirman the House rivers and’ harbors committee, who the Erie Oanal acquisition, and Represent tive Hull, Republican, of Illinols, the advocate of the Iilinols waterwa: g:o]m. both accused by the Michi nator of “bludgeoning” War Depa ment engineers into favorable reports on’ Pproposals. Insisted on Projects. Returning to the Capitol, Chairman Dempsey called his committee together to work out the final terms of the $110,000,000 rivers and harbors legisia- tion, and announced the provision for acquisition of the Erle and Oswego canals in New York State would be kept in the bill when it was reported to the House. Mr. Hull said the same of the Illinols waterways. Both Mr. Dempsey and Mr, Hull de- scribed their hour's conference with the Preaident as “very pleasant.” Senator Vandenberg, who was at the Executive office earlier in day, likewise came away pleased with his reception, but bruthln’l fire against the Erle project. He said he was convinced of the Presi- dent's favor toward the 8t Lawrence which the Michigan Im;;:flud by the Erie u . s of the Bt. Law- eq&rw-y are insisting upon an n route from the Great Lakes to the Atlantic, and the Erie Canal is part of this project. Mr. Dm;pny is a Representative from New ‘York. H The mammoth rivers and harbors legislation neared completion lcte I night, as the House committee w into a night session. It carries pro- vision of about $110,000,000 for new vrud:cu ttered throughout the natlon. The Tlinols waterways, now State | controlled, would be taken over by the Government under Mr. Hull's proposal, with $7,500,000 for completion of the work. No ropriation would be pr vided in bill for the Erie Osn: the measure merely allowing for its tfansfer to the Federal Government from the State. Opposes “Grab Bag.” “We don't propose,” announced Sen- ator Vandepberg, member of the Senate commerce committee, “to have the fundamental issue of the St. Law- rence waterways throttled by Congress in Congressman Dempsey’s grab bag. “I protested that the War Depart- ment engineers are making policy de- visions which it is none of their bus ess to make. It seems to be generally admitted that some of the inquisitive gentlemen from Illinois and New York used a political bludgeon on the engi- nonr: instead of an engineering argu- ment. J “The astounding thing is that the board yielded to any such pressure and repudiated every prior decision in order to do it. There is a fair-sized group of Senators who can't be bludgeoned in the same fashion. I propose to ex- haust every senatorial recourse before submitting to the worst pork barrel rivers and harbors bill in the history of American Government.” CRAMTON PARK BILL CHANGE IS ADOPTED Senate Committec Amends Measure Relating to the Ownership t | the area, was held yesterday afternoon of Proposed Bridge. ‘The Cramton park bill was amended Friday by the Senate District com- mittee to provide that after the pro- posed 'gulnmy d been established alo) e upper Potomac, the Govern- ment could take over at cost plus 10 'p_her cent the bridge be erected by the Great Falls Ca., near the Falls. 'This was ado) by the committee as 8 substitute for the Glass amend ment, under which the Federal Govern. ment would have been directed to build & $1,500,000 bridge near the Falls, The committee had previously ordered the Cramton bill favorably reported.

H. M. Elmendort, the planes took off at 9 a.m. from Mather Field and returned exactly two hours later with the new record. The ola record was 17,000 feet. The various ships reached altitudes varying from 27,500 to 30,000 feet. At first, Capt. Elmendorf believed he had reached 133,000 feet, but a recheck of his alti- | meter revealed it was 30,000 feet. Capt. Elmendorf reported on landing that when he reached 30,000 feet the tube leading from the oxygen tank supplying him with air slipped from his mouth and he was forced to dive downs ward four miles to keep from losing | consciousness. Extremely low tempera= | tures were encountered at the higher altitudes, but fur-lined clothing weigh- ing 50 pounds kept the men from freezing.
