Prospects of Adjournment Hint Few Local Bills Will Be Passed by Congress—Repre- sentation Drive Grows. PY JESSE C. SUTER. HILE the adjournment of the present session of the Congress continues to be an unknown quan- tity, there are strong indications that little or no additional District legislation will be passed. The conferees on the District revenue bill reached an agreement on Friday and a vote on the re- vised measure is expected early in the week. In its present form the bill is expected to yield $8,875,000 in additional taxes. While far from being a satisfactory tax measure it has been greatly improved District Auditor Donovan has announced that there are sufficient funds at the beginning of August to meet the District pay roll and to take care of expenditures during the first part of the month. He looks for definite Congressional re- lief of the financial situation in ample time to meet other expendi- tures. The District failed to get its day in the House last Monday, as the House leaders had other plans. This Was not an unusual experience, as the District can seldom bank on getting its day as per schedule. The next District day is due on Mon- day, August 9, which may be the last of the present session The nomination by the President of a native of the District of Co- lumbia as a judge of the Police Court is sure to be highly gratify- ing to the Society of Natives of the District of Columbia, for it has been the policy of that organiza- tion from its beginning to urge the selection of natives for District offices. The new appointee, Mr. Hobart Newman. is 34 years old and a graduate of local educational in- stitutions. Mr. Newman succeeds Judge Isaac R. Hitt. Local Suffrage Groups Planning Aggressive Action. "THERE to be distinct groups at work just now in the interest of local suffrage for the District of Columbia. One of these is under the leadership of the Bur- roughs and the Southeast Wash- appear I 1s unde tizens' Committee sive Action of these groups has held several meetings and is form- Ing committees to complete an or- ganization. It is understood that this movemen ill be directed principally toward obtaining legis- lation which would provide for the election of a number of District officers who are now appointed and also for the creation of some kind of ty il. The atti- tude of this group toward national representati appears, will be that of tion with the Citizens' Joint Committee on Na- tional Representation for the Dis- trict of Columbia, The plans of the other group are not so well known. They arranged a4 mass meeting held in the Sylvan Theater near the Washingion Mon- ument on Thursday last, which was presided over by Charles Frankiin, vice chairman of tr group. Representative Henry George Teigan, Farmer-Laborite, of Minnesota; Representative Rei ben T. Wood. Democrat, and former People’s Counsel, Wi liam A. Roberts were the speaker: Both of these move template the formati nent organiza to further purpose. In connection with this loca! frage movement, one civie worker has stated, gument i the District Commissioners, that he considers the present Commis- sioners entirely responsible for difficult financial position in which the District now finds itself. He completely exonerates the Senate and House of Representatives from any responsibility and claims that had the District been represented by elected District Commissioners they could, by forceful action, have induced the Congress to enact the requisite fiscal legislation some months ago. There are others in the civic ranks who recognize the impotency of our District Commissioners and believe that the mere change of the method of selection of the Com- missioners would not increase their effectiveness on Capitol Hill. Those of this school of thought are in- clined to believe that elective local officers would be held responsible for every District disaster and dis- appointment—even though they were just ‘as powerless as the ap- pointed District Commissioners. In other words, with all real power Temaining in the Congress, in which the District is not repre- sented, our own elective officers would chiefly serve the purpose of being made scapegoats. There is a feeling. rather general in extent, that all of this agitation for District suffrage is of real value, especially if carried on intelligently with the dissemination of accurate information. The only danger seen is the possibility of breaking up into factional groups and degener- ating into something having the semblance of a family row. National Representation Movement Of Broad Scope and Promise. FNFRANCHISEMENT of citizens ? of the District of Columbia is really a twofold problem—that of Federal suffrage. with voting representation in both Houses of Congress and the electoral col- lege, and local suffrage which con- templates merely the election of the local officers. So far as legislative procedure is concerned and from a purely theo- retical viewpoint, Federal suffrage, or national representation, is far more difficult to attain than merely local suffrage. For national rep- resentation a constitutional amend- ment is requiied, which calls for the passage of a joint resolution by a two-thirds vote of both Houses of the Congress and then for ratifi- cation by three-fourths of the States. On the other hand, Con- gress may by a majority vote of the two Houses and approval by the President, provide for a local elective form of government as was possessed by the cities of Wash- ington and Georgetown prior to their amalgamation under the ter- ritorial form of government. While a superficial examination would suggest th’t local suffrage was easy of attainment, the fact remains that for more than 60 years the Congress has failea to enact legislation which would re- store local suffrage. It is true that for many years there has been no concerted movement in sup- port of some tangible form of local suffrage beyond that of a few years ago for an elected school board. The Citizens' Joint Committee on National Representation for the District of Columbia, organized in 1917, began its work for the con- stitutional amendment with very broad civic organization support. Such support has been increased during the years until it can be Justly stated that there is no pend- ing measure affecting ihe District of Columbia upon which there is 50 large an organization support as that for Federal suffrage. Em- braced in the ranks of the sup- porters are organizations and in- dividuals, some of whom favor all kinds of suffrage for the District of Columbia and others who are opposed to local suffrage. National representation is de- manded as a national right. First, because the District people are na- tional Am ns and subject to all laws and obligations of citizenship exactly the same as the citizens of A State. Second. as residents of the D t of Columbia, District peo- e deserving as much of a ¥ in the management of the Nation's Capital, which is their home, as is possessed by the citi- zens of a State To participate in the councils of the Nation through voting repre- sentation in the House and Sen- ate and a vote in the electoral col- lege for President and Vice President, District citizens would be thed with vital rights of which they are now unjustly de- prived. To many the possession of these national powers gives prom- ise of real improvement of the local government The chief difficulty encountered by the local s ‘age movement is a fear that the granting of the vot- ing privilege in local affairs would take away from Congress its con- trol over the National Capital, a power whic it jealously guards but carelessly exercises _ There can really be no valid ob- n raised against the granting age with representa- ss and the Electoral College to the people of the District of mbia. Such action would in 10 Way lessen the control by Con- gress over the National Capital. Advocates of national representa. tion believe firmly that the people in the States would favor this movement overwhelmingly if they really understood the plight of the District citizens tion in Con Anti-Narcotic Bill Sporsored by Commissioners, "['HE Commissioners' bill to regy- late the manufacturing, dis- pensing. selling and possession of narcotic ugs in the District of Columbia was introduced in both Senate and House during the past Week. This bill is a revision of a similar measure, which was under discussion last vear and is intended 1o effectively stop the gaps in exist- ing law Somewhat similar bills were in- troduced in the Senate and House in the Seventy-fourth Congress. The Senate draft passed both House and Senate, but was amended in the House and Congress adjourned before the conferees could adjust the differences Existing law on the subject is found in two sections of the phar- macy law, but fails to control adequately the traffic in such drugs. There is no provision in the exist- g District law prohibiting the manufacture or possession of nar- cotic drugs in the District. The Harrison narcotic act, a revenue measure, is in force in the District, but there are a number of situa- tions which arise with respect to the manufacture, sale and posses- sion of the narcotics which are not covered by the Harrison act. Among the supporters of this legislation are the Federation of Citizens’ Associations, American Medical Association, the American Bar Association, the Federa] nar- cotics commissioner and the Dis- trict Pharmacy, the Association, the Re- Druggists' Association, the Medical Association, the Osteo- pathic Society, the Dental Society and the George Washington School oI Pharmacy. District Legislation of the 75th Congress, First Session. STUDY of the legislative cal- endar of the Senate District Committee issued under date of July 22, 1937, gives a fair idea of the accomplishment of the District legislation by the *“local common council and board of aldermen.” This calendar shows practically all legislation affecting the District except appropriation bills. Of legislation completed by en- actment into law, four bills origi- nated in the Senate and five in the House of Representau\es»making a total of eight bills and one joint Tresolution. Of these, six were pub- lic measures and three were private bills. Out of the large number of bills introduced in both houses, there re- mains without final action three Senate bills which were passed by the Senate and are now pending before the House District Commit- tee. Nineteen bills passed by the House of Representatives are still pending before the Senate. Among these are the Juvenile Court bill, which was authorized to be re- ported to the Senate on May 4. The apparent inactivity on the part of the Senate District Com- mittee is due to the fact that the chairman, Senator King, was ill for a while and further to his membership on the Committee on the Judiciary, which required his undivided attention during the long period of hearing and consideration of the courts reorganization pro- posal. Mechanical Defects. As a result of a study made of over 1,000,000 traffic accidents, it was de- termined that not over 5 per cent were the result of mechanical failure. ‘The other 95 per cent were caused by the actions of the drivers. When cars were at fault, defective brakes led the list as a cause. Other defects were glaring headlights, one or both headlights out, lack of chains, blowouts and punctures, tail lights out or obe structed, and de!efitlve steering gears. | Hotel, | No. ON SPECIAL TRAIN Delegation to Spanish War Encampment Will Leave August 22, A special train will leave here at 7:50 a.m. August 22 over the Balti- more & Ohio Rallroad with members of the Spanish War Veterans, who will attend the annual encampment at Columbus, Ohio.
