Q00U 5. WORKERS IN NEW QUARTERS Moving Vans Still Busy Transferring Commerce Department Equipment. The Commerce Department's new building today had a population of more than 3,000 Government workers, with moving vans still transfering equipment from old bureau buildings The moving started one week ago to- day and officials estimated that with the exception of the Patent and Census Bureaus and the Geodetic Survey, that the department was working 95 per cent normal under the new roof. Ahead of Schedule. All of the Patent Office equipment will not be in before January 20, al- though the moving was reported two days ahead of schedule. Part of the census equipment and approximately 500 clerks have been transfered from the old temporary buildings of the bureau. The rest’ will not be moved until Spring. The Geodetic Survey will be transfered on January 16. ‘When all of the moving is completed, there will be 5,000 employes in the new building. Approximately 100,000 of the 150,000 books of the department’s ljbrary have been placed on shelves ‘The large Patent Office library, one of the finest scientific book collections in the world, is now being moved. Minor Damage Reported. Only minor damage was reported in the moving of the equipment of the buildings, scattered throughout Wash- ington. It was roughly estimated that 20,000 tons of equipment have been put into the new building .

As recently as 1928 it was demon- strated that the Senate still recognized the continued existence of the 60-40 substantive law, although, then, as in the preceding few years, it had to yield to the House by accepting another Jump-sum Federal contribution to get the District bill through the closing days of the session. When the appropriation bill reached the Senate in the Spring of 1928 it contained the $9.000,000 Federal lump sum which the House had written in each year since the fiscal year 1935. The Senate Appropriations Committee in 1928 struck out the $9,000,000 clause land inserted the 60-40 rule. ‘When the ! measure was taken up in the Senate, a po | Semate amendment was legislation on {an appropriation bill Point of Order Overruled. The then presiding officer of the Sen- ate overruled the point of order, and in doing so cited the act of 1922, which the House is now asking the Senate to repeal. The presiding officer said: “The chair, upon investigation, find that in the District of Columbia appr priation act approved June 29, 1922, a provision was incorporated fixing & 60-40 basis of expenditures annually for the District and Federal governments, respectively, from and after July 1, 1922, with certain exceptions, and fur- HE present effort of the House to repeal the provision which made the 60-40 ratio a permanent and intangible property necessary to bring the amount to be paid by the District of Columbia government up o the 60 per cent prescribed in the law. | “The chair, therefore, is of the opin- | ion that the amendment is in line with | of order.” | A Deadlock Results. The Senate passed the bill with the 60-40 provision in_it.. Then followed weeks of deadlock in conference, in the | course of which the Senate members, compromise, suggestes |in a spirit of | some other ratio which would reduce |the Federal Government's 40 per cent. | but retain the basic principle of a defi- nite proportion, such as 6623 from the District and 33% from the United States. ‘The House, however, insisted on its $9.000,000 lump sum. Bringing in a partial report on other features of the bill, former Senator Phipps of Col- orado, chairman of the Senate Broup, was in favor of going back for & fur- ther conference on the main question, but Congress was approaching the close of the session, its business nearly com- pleted, and the Senate decided to re- cede and accept the $9,000,000 lump sum for another year In considering the present effort of the House to repeal the substantive law of 1922, it is pertinent also to recall that the first lump-sum exception to that law went through the House under the Holman rule, on a theory that it was in order on the appropriation bill if it had the effect of a reduction or retrenchment in the Federal Govern- ment's obligation. It remained in the bill because the Senate was faced with the alternative of yielding to the House or running the risk of having the ap- propriation bill fail of passage, which would have meant & continuing resolu- tion, limited to only necessary mainte- nance funds, House Point of Order. When the lump-sum provision was offered in the House as an amendment to the appropriation bill for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1924, points of order were mede against it. Members | of the House who regarded the amend- ment as out of order emphasized that it did not seek to reduce the total car- ried in the bill but merely the Federal share, and that to comply with the in- tent of the rule of the Houise it should be a reduction in the amount to be spent | ‘under the bill. The advocates of the lump sum argued that it was only neces- sary that it be a retrenchment in the Federal expenditure. The points of order were overruled and thus it was held, in effect, that the substantive 60-40 law could be ig- ther authorizing a tax rate on tangible | THE EVENING History of Fiscal Relations!

In renewing the $9,000,000 lump sum for a second time in the appropriation act for the fiscal year 1926, the House wanted a clause inserted to require that | the estimates for 1927 be submitted on | the same basis as 1926, namely, $9,000,- 1000 The Senate, however, would not | accept this, and it went out in con- ference. Thus, each year, the lump-sum pro- posal has been renewed on the initia- |five of the House without a direct re- peal of the language of 1922, which said, “That annually, from and after | July 1. 1922, 60 per cent should be | paid the District and 40 per cent | by_the United States. The Senate’s stand against legislation would definitely abolish _the | fixed-proportion principle goes back further than the recent era of annual | lump-sum departures from the 60-40 law. which Senate Stands Pat. | A notable instance of the refusal of |the Senate to accept such legislation |is found in 1920 and 1921, At that |time the fixed-percentage ratio was | 50-50, and Representative Mapes of Michigan, sponsor of the present bill to repeal the 60-40 provision, was then advocating & similar measure to repeal the definite-proportion rule and leave the Faderal Government to make vagu: sint of order was made that the |ganq fluctuating annual contributions to | cover whatever might be the difference between the District’s revenue collec- tions and the total appropriated. The House passed that Mapes bill of 1920, but the Senate promptly expressed |its attitude by adopting & substitute | proposal of Senator Jones of Washing- | ton restoring the 50-50 plan, and the measure went to conference. Mean- while, the House had written an amend- ment into the District appropriation bill of that session, using the wording of the Mapes bill relative to the repeal of the 50-50 plan, together with a rec- ommendation for an increase in the | tax rate on real estate and tangible personalty from 114 to 2% per cent. | Basic Principle Remains. | In order to get the appropriation bill through that year, the Senate agreed for the first time to change the ratio from 50-50 to 60-40, but while changed the ratio, it retained the basic principle of fixed proportion. While this agreement was being reached on the appropriation bill, the separate | Mapes bill, which would have wiped deadlocked in conference and remained 0 when that session ended in June. hus, while the Senate had consented to change the ratio for that one fiscal year to 60-40, it stood firmly against | the legislative bill to abolish the basic principle on which fiscal relations had | rested for decades. Commitiee Was Divided. Although the Mapes bill of 1929 originated in the House District Com- mittee, it had the support of only about half the membe of that committee. The day after Mr. Mapes filed the re- port in support of the bill, a report cpposition_was filed by former Repre- sentative Thomas S. Williams of Illi- nois, which was signed by eight mem- bers, and Mr. Williams said at the time that a careul poll made by him showed the committee about evenly di- | | vided. The bill passed the House and was | followed a few weeks later by incor- | poration of a similar 50-50 repeal amendment in the appropriation bill. | When this rider to the appropriation | bill came up in the House, a point of | order was raised against it and sus- | tamed. but a substitute amendment was | | immediately offered which limited the | draft on Federal funds so that t should “in no event be as much as one half of said expenses.” When the Senate two months later |took the separate Mapes bill and | amended it so as to retain the half- | and-half law, it marked the first time that the issue between the two branches of Congress over fiscal relations had been joined in a legislative measure In prior years the struggle had alwa: | been over a rider in an annual appro- priation bill. And when thus presented on its merits as a distinct plece of leg- islation, the Senate declined to yield to | the House on_the proposal to do away | with' the fixed-percentage basis. Perishes in Conference. As previously stated, that session ended in June, 1920, with the 60-40 ra- tio inaugurated for the ensuing year in | the appropriation act, but without altering the substantive law, and with the separate Mapes repeal bill still in | disagreement in conference.

First Lump Sum Proposed. The House began the lump-sum prac- tice by proposing $8,000,000. The Sen- ate that year advocated either adher- ance to the 60-40 law or a lump sum | of $14,000,000. In order to prevent fail- ure of the bili, the Senate compromised on $9,000,000. 1t is appropriate to call at- tention here to the fact that the total carried in that District appropriation act was $26,455,105. During the inter- | vening period of lump-sum_departures | from the substantive 60-40 law the to- tal of the District appropriation bill has climbed to the figure of $45,672.838 for the current fiscal year. ~Yet, only twice during that interval has the House been willing to concede any in- crease in the arbitrary $9,000,000 Fed- eral share toward that mounting total | Those two occasions were in the fiscal year 1930-31 and the current fiscal year, when the Senate conferees, head- ed by Senator Hiram Bingham of Con- necticut, succeeded in having the lump sum made $9,500,000.

Now, almost immediately after grant- this moderate increase, the House eks to slash the Federal share to 500,000 by proposing various in- creased taxes for the local residents, and in addition asks the Senate to re- peal the fixed ratfo principle, which was followed for nearly 50 years (first Home Owners, B i —of all | appropriation bill for another fiscal year.

It is this provision enacted in terms which make it the substantive law, the new organic act of the District, which the present Mapes bill seeks to repeal. Overrides Substantive Law. The House followed this newly es- tablished 60-40 ratio for only two more fiscal years when, in 1924, it turned to the arbitrary lump-sum departure from the ratio which had been made permanent in 1922. How the Holman rule was construed in the introduction of the first lump sum has already been explained. Since the fiscal year 1925 the Jump sum has been written into each appropriation bill for one year at a time. The Mapes bill of 1920 to Tepeal the 50-50 ratio, which failed to get through, provided that the expenses of the Dis trict should be paid out of the rev- enucs of the District to the extent that such revenues shall be sufficient there- for, and the remainder out of the Fed- eral Treasury. The Mapes bill of 1931, now pending in the Senate District Committee, pro- vides that “* * * such expenses of the District of Columbia as Congress may appropriate for shall be paid out of the revenues of the District of Colum- | bia, except that the United States shall make such contributions toward de- fraying such expenses as may be pro- vided in the acts making appropria- tions therefor.” The proposal being put forward to- day, therefore, repudiates any national | obligation in respect to the Nation's City even more distinctly than the one the Senate refused to accept a decade ago, when, instead of de- stroying the definite-proportion princi- ple, Congress turned to the 60-40 ratio. The Mapes repeal bill declares, it will be noted, that the United States shall make such contributions as it may make, etc The Congressional Joint Committee of 1915, after months of thorough and | intelligent investigation, reported that | any substit tionate plan of contribution should pro- | vide a fixed and certain rate of taxa- | " tion for the District and that Congress | gle would continue for should pursue “a definite policy of regu- | lar_and liberal appropriations.” The Mapes bill repeals proportionate contribution pl and 1922 and leaves in the substantive law no recognition of any obligation whatever on the part of the Nation to make the slightest contributi | the maintenance and development of |fo the Nation's City. this | AUTO TITLES STAFF 10 WORK OVERTIME Clerks Will Report Sunday to‘; Finish Checking Last 8,000 Applications.

BOMBAY, January 8.—A threat of bloodshed darkened the Indian horizon today just at a time when some ob- servers were predicting the backbone of the resistance of Mahatma Gandhi's Natfonalists had been broken by the swift severity of the government’s meas- ures. “Beware, O Demons of a Vanishing Empire!” warned a flaming red poster pasted on the Empire Building today, over the name of the Hindustan Re- publican Society. “We warn British officials to move about always armed.

The government, they sald, “stole a on them while Gandhi was eading for peace, but, they added, cait and see!” and predicted the strug- years. “While the rapidity of the develop- ments took many parts of India un- said the Free Press Journal, “the Congress is still strong.
