——— —————————— SUPPORT BINGHAM OND. G. EXPENSES Senators Back Up Stand for New Division of Burden . By GEORGE H. MANNING (Washington Bureau, N. B. Herald) ‘Washington, July 9.—More than once during the hectic days of the session of Congress just ended, and particularly after the Eyanson epi- sode, did members of the secnate seemingly take delight in turning down legislative proposals of their tall, handsome,y and erudite col- league, Hiram Bingham, but once, at least, they turned about and sup- ported him handsomely. That conspicuous occasion was when the annual bill appropriating funds for running Columbia was hefore Bingham was chairman of the sen- ate conferees and thus, had charge of the bill from the senate view- point after it had passed that body. To get a little background, let it be explained that the government of | the city of Washington is kept alive, financially at least, nual congressional ‘appropriations. Its citizens pay their taxes and these go into the federal treasury, credit of the District of Columbia. Not a cent, however, can be spent until congress makes an appropria- tion. This includes such work as street and sewer work, bridge building; in fact, every municipal activity which requires the ing of money. Once on 50-50 Basis For many years, Congress adhered to a 50-50 basis of appropriations for Washington. That is, of the money appropriated, per cent came from the pockets of Washington taxpay- ers and the balance from the federal | treasury, or, in other words. from the pockets of taxpayers through- out the country. About 10 years ago the basis was changed to 60-40; that is. 60 per cent of the money came from the Washington taxpayers' pockets and | 40 per cent from the federal | treasury. Many members of congress | were not satisfied with this, because ringtonians paid taxes of only per $100, whereas their con- stituents paid more Consequently, the basis was changed to that of an arbitrary lump sum ab®ut five years ago. The lump sum was $9,000,000 a year. At that time the annual expenditures of the District government were about $31,000,000 a year. This year they had increased to $44,000,000, and the senate thought the lump sum €hould be raised The senate suggested $12,000,000, but the house refused to consider a nickel over $9,000.000, and much oratory was spread upon the pages of the Congressional Record con- cerning taxes and municipal affairs in general in the national capital. Senate Stands Pat By a viva voce vote the senate @authorized its conferees to stand pat for an increase. This caused Representative Cramton, republican, | Michigan, to say in the house that the senate probably had given this authorization without knowing what it was doing. Representative Garner of Texas, the democratic floor lead- er of the house, s3id the senate was only bluffing, as usual, and that it would back down, as it always did. This was entirely too much for the senate to stomach. Senator Bingham demanded, and got, a roll call vote on a resolutidn he of- fered stating that it was the sense of the senate that the $9,000,000 Iump sum should be increased. The senate supported him by a vote of E4 to lass §tarts Fireworks Senator (: Glass, fiery Vir- n, who is about as short as Bingham is tall, declared indignant- 1y that “matters have reached such a point that unless the senate of the United States wanrs absolutely to debase itself and to supinely con- fess that it is not a part of the legislative branch of the government of the United States, it must assert its dignity and its right to legislate.” For a time the two houses were hopelessly deadlocked. President Hoover called Bingham to the White House to tell the President what was what. Tt looked as though the district would get no appro- priation for this year. Finally, however, on the last day of the session, the house grudging- 1y yielded and approved an increase 500,000 in the lump sum, but specifically stated that the increase Was not to be considered a prece- dent. As a further concession hoth houses passed a resolution author- izing a commission to study the fiscal relations between the dis- trict and the federal government. This study will be made in time for & report to be submitted to the next session GIRL READY FOR MOVIES Hollywood, Calif., July 9 (UP)— Joan Lawes, daughter of the ing Sing prison warden. although only 9 years old, was ready to begin a screen carecr today.
