D.C. VOTEAPPEAL MADE BY ENERY Represents Citizens’ Feder- ation in Radio Plea for ? Franchise. Declaring the relation between the District of Columbia and the Federal Government to be the “old story of taxation without representation which our forefathers denounced as tyran- ny,” Fred A. Emery. speaking as a representative of the Federation of Citizens' Associations over Radio Station WMAL last night, made a plea for congressional representation for the District and for the restric- tion of local appointments to District residents. “Let no one get the impression,” Mr. Emery said, “that Washingto- nians live here by the grace or ind gence of Congress. Washingtonians are self-sustaining. They are bona fide American citizens in all but a vote. “They built up and maintain this great metropolis. They are carrying on a municipality whose local gov- ernment does A business of $45,000,- 000 a year. Of that amount, for up- keep, the Federal Government pays only a small percentage. “Vast areas in the city are occu- pied by Federal buildings, all exempt from taxation. Every tax exemp- tion cuts down the sources of local revenue. Besides this, Wash- - ington is not included in many of . the Federal grants and bounties which Uncle Sam with lavish hand passes out. Washington taxpayers pay their share toward all these prodigalities, but in most cases reap only the whirlwind.” CADETS TO BE GUESTS Members of Three Winning Com- panies to Be Feted at Park.
