SOUTHEAST GROUP BACKS SUFFRAGE Association Hears Debate on Vote for District and Indorses Right. Citizens of Southeast Washington last night voted overwhelmingly in favor of suffrage for residents of the District of Columbia. The vote was taken at the Hine Junior High School after the citizens had heard a debate on the subject by members of the Southeast Citizens’ Association. One hundred and forty- one persons in the audience voted that the right of suffrage and national representation in Congress should be granted District residents, while only 16 cast unfavorable votes. The affirmative was upheld by Louis F. Frick, legal counsel for the South- east Business Men’s Association, ‘as well as,a member of the citizens’ as- sociation, and Richard B. English, well-known Southeast civic leader and vice president of the business men. C. G. Degman and J. C. L. Ritter, members of the citizens’ group, ar- gued the negative. Claims Rights Infringed. In opening the affirmative argu- ments, Frick declared residents of ‘Washington, in addition to being de- nied the right of suffrage and the right of helping to make the laws they must obey, are denied the right to sue through the United States courts. “This right,” Frick declared, “is granted not only to citizens of all the States, but even to aliens. In| plain language, we, as residents of the Capital of the greatest country in the world, are being told we are not as | good as aliens. “Why should we be denied a vote | in the affairs of the District and the | Nation? Washington has a popula- | tion of 486,000 persons, more than | each of eight States—more than the | total number for two of these States,” | he said | He declared Washington is the only | National Capital in the world which denies its residents the right to ll voice in its affairs. “And yet, in case of war, we mu.st‘ go with the rest of them even though | we have no voice in saying whether the United States shall go to war, he said. “A vote for District residents will give them a vital American privilege, a badge of honor and power,” he said. | “Without this, and without national | rcpresemanon we can do nothing but obey.” 1 Cites Tax Payments. English brought in the tax issue for his argument. He said District residents pay mere taxes than enhcr Georgia, Iowa, Alabama, Tennessee or| Louisiana He discussed the campaign for civic | improvements which the Southeast | civic leaders have been carrying on intensely for about a year. SERVICE ORDERS ARMY ORDERS. Stodter, Col. Charles E. Cavalry, ordered home to await retirement, April 30. Daly, Maj. Joseph O. Field Ar- tillery, ordered home to await retire- ment, about April 13. White, Maj. Joseph M. Medical Corps, from Aberdeen Proving Grownd to Walter Reed General Hospital, here, for observation and treatment. Hasson, Capt. James A., Infantry, ordered home to await retirement. Tappan, First Lieut. Alice M., Army Nurse Corps, to be examined by an Army retiring board at Walter Reed Hospital, here. Dutton, PFirst Lieut. Carl R., Ord- nance Department, from West Point, “If we had a vote and rsp}esenu-‘ tion on Capitol Hill,” he said, “this fight would have been over long ago.” | He said that, for example, the Hine Junior High School should have been torn down 10 years ago and a new one built, the garbage disposal plant on | New Jersey avenue should never have | been built in the Southeast section or | any other residential section. “The 67,000 residents of Southeast . Washington pay 16 per cent of the‘ taxes in Washington,” he said, “and | yet we can't get a little money for | Impmvmg streets or improving school facilities.” “We will never be able to control‘ the money which we pay as taxes | until we get a vote,” he declared. Opponents Fear Politics. The chief argument of the negative side was that the vote would place | a certain group in power and “politics” | ! would keep them there. \ Prior to the debate, Allan Davis, | cipal of Roosevelt High School | and the oldest active member of the | citizens’ association, was presented with a certificate of civic distinction | by Henry I Quinn, a member of the Board of Education, on behalf of the | citizens’ group. In presenting the cer- tificate, Quinn paid high tribute to | the civic and educational leader. | “If the men and women in the Dis- | ct had your spirit,” Quinn said, | “Washington would be a far better | place in which to live. You have de- | voted yourself wholeheartedly to the‘ interest of the city and of Southeast \ ‘Washington in particular.” William A. Maio, president of the | Boutheast citizens’ group, presided. PAY RAISES URGED House Bill Would Increase Motori Cycle Officers’ Salaries. ! Chairman Norton of the House Dis- trict Committee yesterday introduced a bill providing for additional compen- sation for members of the Metropoli- tan Police force detailed to motor-~ eycle service and for special service in the prevention &nd detection of | crime. | Those detailed to motorcycle service | would receive an extra compensation of $120 a year. Those detailed for | special service in the prevention and | detection of crime would be in two classes, one of which would receive extra compensation of $600 a year #fid the other $240. The District Commissioners would be authorized and empowered to designate the mem- bers of the force assigned to these two Classes. e . More Idle Men Helped.
