FISCAL FINDINGS HELD ‘RIDICULOUS Common Sense, Rather Than Nonsense, Urged to Fix Federal Sum. Common sense, rather than non- sense, should determine the part to be played by the Federal Government | in the affairs of the District, accord- ing to George Lord, tax expert of Detroit, who .n 1931-2, made a survey of the fiscal relations of the two governments for the Mapes com- mittee. Lord spent more than 10 months in studying the relations of the two | governments, and while hesitating “to criticize the work of someone elsg” he described recently the report and recommendations on fixed relations as “ridiculous.” “Congress itself,” he said, “must use a lot of common sense in dealing with the fiscal relations of the two governments. The amount recom- mended in this last report to be al- loted by the Federal Government is | ridiculous. There is no real reason to | be too technical, and I doubt if the | formulae ecommended in the prewent report can be applied with any idea of equitable distribution of the cost ©of Washington's government.” Critical of Citizens. While critical of the Jacobs com- mittee report, Lord was also critical | of the citizens of Washington for what | he believes to be a complete failure 1in protecting their rights, | “The people here apparently have tittle confidence in their government. | I don't think they will gain by ob- taining a vote and letting politics decide who shall be the heads of the government. “In your auditor's office here you have a man who is better qualified than any auditor the Federal Gov- ernment has. He is capable, efficient and an estimable gentleman. You | had a man of the same type in your former tax assessor, Mr. Richards, and | the other officials I met six years ago | were men of the same stripe.” Mr. Lord said he thought there ®hould be less criticism of District offi- | cials and members of Congress, Fixed Sum at $7,500,00. Lord, as !he expert employed by | the Mapes committee, fixed the Fed- eral contribution at $7,500,000. The —_— e SPECIAL NOTICES. Gl R S Pl ANGERSON). for- | merly GRACE .

He sald it might be more now. here is really no sound argu- ment against the Federal Government paying something for the improved property it has taken over and re- moved from the tax rolls. But, on the other hand, there is no argument | against the fact that nearby property | has Leen greatly enhanced by the | improvements made south of Penn- sylvania avenue by the Federal Gov- ernment. Individuals benefited from that, and their benefits should be re- “Another thing,” Lord continued, “is that Washingtonians are mistaken in their ideas that this is the only property valuations and tax assess- ments. There are many other cities, and Detroit is a good example, where the system is much better than that applied here.” Lord reiterated that Congress should not be guided by too technical an attitude. “It is absurd to ask the District to pay for Federal services they don't | want and that have been forced upon | the people. Who asked for the Budget Bureau and the Treasury Department | and the controller general to step in | and handle District finances? Cer- | tainly the District didn't and doesn't | | want that service. To ask them to pay | | for such services is ridiculous. “Let me say again that Congress will have to use ‘common sense’ and not ‘nonsense’ in dealing with this problem, The District should be treated fairly, and I believe Con- gress wants to treat the people here | fairly.” He paid high tribute to Represent- ative Ross Collins of Mississippi, just named chairman of the House Sub- He said Mr. Collins is a fair and able man, Mapes (antinued From First Page.) consideration by his subcommittee.

It was Collins' background and knowledge of budget affairs and fiscal | relations that resulted in his selection | as chairman of the subcommittee when Representative. Johnson, Demo- | crat, of West Virginia turned down the assignment. Johnson could have had the job by virtue of seniority, but at his request Chairman Buchanan of the Appropriations Committee shifted him to the subcommittee in charge of the Navy supply bill. Familiar With Problems. In fact, Collins is the only member of the subcommittee familiar with the District's problems. The others picked by Chairman Buchanan to serve with him never have had occasion to become interested in District affairs. The Democrats who will serve with Collins are Representatives Caldwell of Florida, Higgins of Massachusetts and Starnes of Alabama. The Re- publican assignment was given to Rep- resentative Engel of Michigan, who re- places Representative Ditter of Penn- sylvania. Ditter was transferred to the subcommittee handling the Treas- ury-Post Office appropriation bill. Collins not only is proud of the fact that he is regarded as a friend of the District, but he points out with equal pride that about 10 years ago he was | responsible for killing a rider to the | city's supply bill that would have had the same effect on the public school system as the so-called “red rider” that former Representative Blanton, ! Democrat, of Texas had attaghed to the 1936 District appropriation act. That rider, Collins explained, would | have prohibited the payment of sal- | aries to school teachers who taught that the American form of govern- ment was inferior. “I am opposed to riders on appro- priation bills,” Collins declared, “but there is little I can do about the ‘red rider.” That will have to be repealed | by act of Congress.” Tax Measures Proposed.

State police, daring treacherous White River flood waters near Sey- mour, put out in & boat and recovered the body of Roy Dugan, a nurseryman, from the wreckage of his bobbing automobile, which apparently had been carried several hundred feet by the swift current. ‘Two forest rangers, for whose safety fears had been felt, reached Browns- town safely, having driven around the floods. The rangers, Harry Matthews and Ben Richter, said Dugan nad left Bedford last night just ahead of them. Swollen streams receded in Central Indiana, but the flood crests moved | southward into the lower courses of the White and Wabash Rivers. The Ohio River, already overflowing 100,000 acres of lowlands near Evansville, in Southwestern Indiana, continued to mount. Federation _(Cornlirnuedrl’mm P‘irstipnge.) added an amendment suggesting the | advisability of a joint committee. ‘The Carruthers report reads: “This report comprises a volume of including tabular matter, quire more time than this committee has been able to devote to it. How- | ever, consideration has been given to the fundamental principles and find- | ings of the report. “The appointment of a fiscal rela- tions committee to make such a study and to recommend a formula by which the amount of the appropriation of the Federal Government to the Dis- trict government could be determined was approved by the Federation of Citizens' Associations, but it was con- templated by the association that one or more resident taxpayers of the Dis- trict of Columbia would be given mem- bership on such committee. Hearings Granted. “The membership of the committee selected comprises men of prominence | and leadership in their various fields— a banker, a city manager and a presi- dent of a State tax board. They granted hearings to all civic or other organizations that desired to be heard and most courteous treatment was ex- tended to the various delegations. “One of the principal arguments by the Federation representatives was to the effect that consideration should be given to the large amount of Fed- erally owned real property, approx- imate! $650,000,000, sarily reduces the tax base on which general property tax is computed, but the report containing a three-point formula for determining the amount of Federal Government's appropria- tion did not include this as an ele- ment. “Another element advanced by the Federation, but not accepted by the m lands adjacent to the scene. ——Copyrxyht . Wuepho!os. 000, it also proposed four new !ax‘ measures, similar to those advocated in the Jacobs report. for raising addi- tional revenue to offset part of the anticipated $10,000,000 deficit in the coming fiscal year if the three-point formula is approved by Congress. One called for an increase in the gasoline tax from 2 to 4 cents a gallon, another a weight tax on automobiles, the third an estate tax, and the fourth an income tax as a substitute for the existing tax on intangible personal property. Collins is expected to continue to support these measures in view of his unshaken confidence in the Mapes report. but his subcommittee will not have to consider these proposals, which the House has referred to the District Legislative Committee in connection with other statutory changes recom- mended in the Jacobs report. ‘The House District Committee will hold a special mesting Tuesday at 10:30 am. to give the Jacobs report its first congressional attention, but Collins believes it will be at least three weeks before he can arrange to start hearings on the 1938 District appropriation bill All four of the new members of the subcommittee are lawyers by profes- sion, and have World War service records. One of them—Higgins—also is recognized as an expert on finance | as a result of his service in the Massa- chusetts State Legislature. Native of Boston.
