Lesh. attorney |and advocate of national representa- tion, at & meeting of the District of Columbia Federation of Women's | Clubs held in Barker Hall of the | Young Women's Christian Associa- | tion. “Due to the political impotency of residents of the District, there is a great part of the younger population | here growing up without any desire | to participate in government, either by voting or in any other way,” he | declared. E. Barrett Prettyman, corporation | counsel, outlined nine bills, which | he will introduce to Congress at its opening session, and asked for an expression of opinion and sugges- tions from the federation on the feasibility of the He “it is legislation | asked for suggestions, before too late to back track.” Pays More Taxes. Mr. Lesh sald the District was pay- ing more in Fedesal taxes annually than 24 of the 48 States and that the population exceeded that of eight States, but that the District was not permitted the exercise of the voting franchise or any voice in the bodies levying these taxes. “I believe in the American system ‘o( self-government,” he said; “that | is my answer for those who oppose | national representation for the Dis- trict. | _*“According to its population, the | District is entitled to two Representa- tives and under our proposal would have ¢ne or two Senators. After all, they really wouldn't make any great difference in the Congress as a whole, but we believe that the entire country should be represented by territorial division, and that is true in every part of the country except the District. “The American system is to get its wisdom in Government from the en- tire United States, and at present, too, that is done, with the exception of the District.” Mr. Lesh explained that as long as the people believed in the system of Government, it was ridiculous to have | one important segment of the coun- | try not given the franchise guaran- teed by the Constitution. Precedents Abroad. “Of course, our country is young. The capitals of Europe. Paris and London grant the right of participat- ing in government to their residents, | and our imitators—South American | countries—and our closest neighbor, Mexico. They have modeled their gov- ernments on our Constitution, but they have practically all of them granted the rights to participate in government to the populations of their capital cities.” Averring that Mexico had no par- ticular difficulty in having its cap- ital city’s population a part of the voting public. Mr. Lesh pointed out | that the United States, as the model, | could learn something from the stu- dent. “Madison and the other original drafters of the Constitution never in- tended that a Federal district should be set aside and deprived of its gov- ernmental franchise,” he stated, re- ferring to the original draft, which | has no reference in it to the estab- lishment of such a district. Madison himself said, when the GENUINE SHELL CORDOVAN THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

But they settled them in an unusual fashion—by eloping to Yuma, Ariz. in a plane. They returned to Hollywood five hours later and announced their mar- riage.

Photo, amendment relating to the District was suggested, “Of course, the Distr would have suffrage in local affal Mr. Lesh said, indicating that if suf- frage were granted to that extent, as | they had intended. it certainly also was intended that suffrage would be granted in national affairs. “Advocates of national representa- | tion have no intention of making a | separate State of the District.” he “It is not proposed to take its | A"iovels new glow Lee@S she into YO | Municij ur heart orrow—she ki government away from Congress, but to have representatives in both houses and participate in presidential elec- tions—that is the object of the Dis- trict residents, who are fighting for the right to vote and to be repre- sented.” . Mr. Lesh, in concluding, explained that these ideas regarding the Dis- trict’s population were constant prob- lems of every resident, and stressed that he was expressing his personal views on the subject as a native of the District. Mr. Prettyman explained the nine bills which it is proposed to offer Congress for approval, and asked for the federation's Legislative Commit- tee to study them. The bills are: (1) To definitely allocate the powers of the District Commissioners, (2) strengthening of the Public Utilities Commission’s powers, (3) a lunacy bill to estab- lish & board for examination of per- | sons believed insane, (4) a bill to regulate the making of small loans to protect the borrower and be equita- ble to the leader, (5) the taxicab insurance bill, which was defeated at the last session; (6) a bill to re- quire notice being given to the owner before a foreclosure can be made, (7) a general liquor law for District, (8) a bill to sell two blocks of 1 Center site and use money |3 Doses of Foley's Loosen_s_" Coug| 0 PHILADELPHIA BY TELEPHONE AFTER 8:30 P.M.

It was pointed out that at this time there are 290 men on parole with one officer and one clerk-stenographer in charge of them. —_— Sentenced for Bogus Bills. MARTINSBURG, W.
