: REFUSAL OF VOTE
TO D. C. ASSAILED
Contrary to Principle of Lib
erty, Colladay Tells Oldest
Inhabitants.
(Continued From First Page.)
It Is needless for me to take time to
discuss at length the reasons why this
campaign must succeed. To deny it is
to deny the principles of the Declara
tion of Independence, and. while we
must have stout hearts. I think that
we can see the light and that the year
is not far distant when we may expect
to have our efforts crowned with
success.
Justice Stafford Quoted.
"At the time the Capital was trans
ferred to Washington there were not
sufficient voters within the 10 miles
square to entitle them even to one rep
resentative in the Congress. Therefore,
the problem was passed by, although it
was definitely stated that the District
should have a legislature to be elected
by its own voters. The problem has not
been adequately dealt with since that
time, but it will not wait longer. The
Congress and the States cannot fail to
respond to the demands of a half mil
lion citizens of the United States for
their fundamental rights under the
Declaration of Independence, by suitably
amending the Constitution.
"I do not know how our cause could
be better stated than it was by Justice
Wendell P. Stafford in an address
which he delivered in this city at the
New Willard Hotel on May 8, 1909, at
a dinner to President Taft given under J
the auspices of the Board of Trade and ;
the Chamber of Commerce, when in the
course of a most powerful and brilliant
oration he stated that he would not
change the Constitution; he would not
give the people of the District suffrage,
but he would set to their dry hearts
that old Promethean torch, the love
of liberty; he would fill them with
Divine unrest at their condition;
he would set beside that condi
tion a picture of the dignity and
power they might enjoy as real citizens
of their country, first moving them to
desire and then to demand their por
tion of our heritage, nerving them to
toil for it and fight for it through years
of bitter opposition, and then at last,
when the agitation had created a new
Washington—when four hundred or
five hundred thousands people were
calling as with one mighty voice for
the great prize of representative gov
ernment then—then he would bestow
it on them. And, said Justice Stafford,
‘I believe that is exactly what the God
of Time will do.’
“In this fight we have strong friends
in Congress, in both Senate and House,
who do not hesitate to vote for and
advocate our pending amendment to
the Constitution. To them we owe most
heartfelt thanks.
"At the head of our municipal gov
ernment we have able and sincere Com
missioners upon whom we may con
fidently rely to stand firm for the rights
of our citizens under the great declara
tion.
Thanks Due to President.
"We have in Herbert Hoover a Presi
dent who, for years, has been our neigh
bor and friend, and his interest in our
problems has been manifested most ef
fectively during the closing days of the
session of the Congress.
"Our most heartfelt thanks are due
to him for his timely and effective in
tervention to harmonize the sharply
conflicting contention of the House of
Representatives and the Senate upon
the District of Columbia appropriation
bill, passed by them and signed by him
last night. Likewise, our thanks are
due to the Senate and Senate leaders
and conferees for their firm and right
eous stand through so many weeks; and
to the House of Representatives, their
leaders and conferees for their action,
at last, in seeing the truth and in some
measure doing the right.
“Let us, therefore, on this occasion,
while giving praise to that great char
ter, rememl>er that we of Washington
are entitled to its benefit and pledge
ourselves unceasingly to continue the
struggle for representation, and let us
hope that the time may not be far
distant when we shall truthfully say
that the Declaration of Independence
applies to the Capital as it does to the
rest of the Nation.
“Remember, with Voltaire, that
‘lnjustice in the end produces inde
pendence'; and, with Webster, ‘lnde
pendence now; and independence
forever.’ ’’
Declaration Is Read.
Further emphasis on national repre
sentation was given by the reading of
excerpts from the records of the House
of Burgesses of Virginia on “no taxa
tion without representation,” as fol
lows: “No power on earth has a right
to impose taxes on the people or take
the smallest portion of their property
without their consent given by their
representatives. This has been con
sidered as the chief pillar of the Consti
tution. Without this support no man
can be said to have the least shadow of
liberty.”
The Declaration of Independence was
read by Fulton Lewis and there was a.
musical program, including solos by
Mrs. Thelma Selinger Klein, accom
panied by Earl Klein, and singing by
the audience.
John Clagett Proctor read an original
poem.
The invocation was pronounced by
Rev. Calvert C. Buck of the Episcopal,
Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital. Fred A.
Emery, vice president of the association,
presided.
The patriotic exercises were preceded
by a business session in the same hall.

i
An Independence Day Reminder:
There Is Still Taxation Without
Representation in the
United States of America!
Washington’s 490M00 Inhabitants Are as Voice
less in the Nation’s Affairs as Were the Colonies
Prior to the Declaration of Independence!
One hundred and fifty-four years ago this Fourth of July the Thirteen Original Colonies,
resentful of taxation without representation, declared 1 their independence of Great Britain,
TODAY —I93O A. D. —more than a century and l a half later, here at the seat of the Federal Gov
ernment, the same obnoxious, undemocratic situation prevails, which produced the War of the
Revolution.
Washingtonians, disfranchised and de-Americanized, demand a voice in the levying of the taxes
they must pay, in the making of the laws they must obey and in declaring the wars in which they will
have to fight.
On this Independence Day the District of Columbia invites the Congress and the States to con
sider its voteless plight and pledge themselves to remedy it.
WHAT MUST BE DONE ABOUT IT?
CONGRESS must adopt the Constitutional Amendment now pending before it, empowering
Congress to grant to the residents of the District of Columbia voting representation in the House
of Representatives, Senate and Electoral College and access as citizens to the courts of the United
States.
HERE the Amendment:
I
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States
of America in Congress assembled (two-thirds of each House concurring therein).
That the following amendment to the Constitution of the United States be pro
posed for ratification by the Legislatures of the several States, which, when
ratified by the Legislatures of three-fourths of the States, shall be valid as ■ ,
part of said Constitution; namely, insert at the end of section three, Article IV,
the following words:
“The Congress shall have power to admit to the status of citizens of a State
the residents of the District constituting the seat of the Government of the
United States, crested by Article I, section eight, for the purpose of representa
tion in the Congress and *mong the electors of President end Vice President
and for the purpose of suing and being sued in the courts of the United State*
under the provisions of Article 111, section two.
1
• “When the Congress shall exercise this power the residents of such District
shall be entitled to elect one or two Senators as determined by the Congress,
Representatives in the House according to their numbers as determined by the
decennial enumeration, and presidential elector* equal in number to their ag
gregate representation in the House and Senate.
V . i
“The Congress shall provide by law the qualification of voters and the time
and manner of choosing the Senator or Senators, the Representative or Repre
sentatives, and the electors herein authorized.
“The Congress shall have power to make ell laws which shall be necessary
and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing power.”

First Step of Mount Rush
more National Memorial
Complete.
By the Associated Press.
RAPID CITY, S. Dak., July 4
Blasted in eternal granite, the most
massive monument in the history of i
world art was to be unveiled today in !
the heart of the Black Hills, where !
Gutzon Borglum has carved the head
of George Washington as the start of j
Mount Rushmore National Memorial.
On the granite escarpment over the
towering pine-crested mountains, Bor
glum, sculptor of massive rocks and
craftsman of pneumatic drills and ex
plosives, has completed the first step
of the Federal project, which also
eventually will include the figures of
Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln
and Theodore Roosevelt, along with a
brief history written by another former
President. Calvin Coolidge.
Mount Rushmore Memorial is to re
mind man that Washington founded
the Nation from foreign-controlled col
onies; that Jefferson expanded its
boundaries into the Northwest: that
Lincoln preserved it from dissolution,
and that Roosevelt, inaugurating the
Panama Canal, established a world
power on American shores.
Its sponsors declare the memorial,
constructed under Federal supervision, i
will withstand the erosion of rain, wind,
sun and frost for a half million years, i
The memorial will be completed by
4932.
• Borglum said his object was “to give
form and intimate personal character
while yet being colossal and heroic in
dimension; to lift with full develop
ment and design living historic charac
ters into scale with the elemental in
nature, a quality Inherent in all great
characters.”

HUSTON REGIME
SEEN NEAR END
Opponents of G. 0. P. Chair
man Looking for Successor
to Party Head.
By the Associated Press.
The belief Is firmly held in Washing
ton that Claudius Huston's days as
chairman of the Republican National
Committee are numbered and that their
number is not particularly great.
With party leaders scheduled to meet
here next week, opponents of the
chairman have become more and more
insistent that he be removed and are
looking for a successor.
Mr. Hoover talked with Huston by
telephone late yesterday and later
Huston postponed next week’s confer
ence from Monday to Thursday. For
several days previous Huston's where
abouts had been unknown.
Sends Telegrams.
To those who had been invited to
attend the meeting he dispatched the
following telegram:
“Because of holiday engagements
some of those invited to the meeting
called for Monday find it inconvenient
to attend. The meeting has therefore
been postponed to Thursday, July 10,
at the same hour. I hope you may find
it possible to be present at that time.”
A brief statement from the National
Committee, which accompanied the tele
gram, said those invited had been called
“to confer with the chairman on mat
ters pertaining to the conduct of the
forthcoming senatorial and congres
sional campaigns.”
Leaders Got Message.
The telegram was sent to the fol
i lowing:
Vice Chairman Ralph E. Williams of
i Oregon, Daniel Pomeroy of New Jersey,
| Mrs. Alvin T. Hert of Kentucky, Treas
urer J. R. Butt of Ohio, General Coun
sel James Francis Burke of Pennsyl
vania and Senator Moses of New Hamp
shire and Representative Wood of In
diana, chairmen, respectively, of the
Senate and House Republican Cam
paign Committees.
Dissatisfaction at Huston’s leadership
among congressional leaders of the
party followed testimony before the
Senate Lobby Committee that Huston
had deposited money collected for the
Tennessee River Improvement Associa
tion in his private brokerage account
for use in stock market transactions.
SAYS HUSTON WON’T QUIT.
Vice Chairman Declares Rumors of
Resignation Unfounded.
PORTLAND, Oreg., July 4 (/P). —Ralph
E. Williams, vice chairman of the Re
publican National Committee, asserted
today after a telephone conversation
with Claudius H. Huston, national chair
man, that there was no foundation for
the rumor Huston would resign.
Williams said Huston's statement to
him was to be regarded as final with
regard to the national chairman's
rumored resignation.
Williams said he would be unable to
attend the meeting Huston has called
for July 10 and has designated Freder
ick Steiwer, United States Senator from
Oregon, to act for him.

Will Rogers I
Says: -
MINNEAPOLIS—“Bobby” watch
this reception they are going to give
tyou here. In
New York it was
with bands and
speeches, here
it will be with
"brassies” and
“niblicks.” Meet
ing Jimmy
Walker ain’t like
meeting “the
Haig,” and
Grover Whalen
and his gardenia
is not like Hor
ton Smith and his “putter.” These
birds are practicing for you, but
they all fear you as much as they
admire you. I saw the course to
day, the holes look awful small* to
me. Yours,
WILL ROGERS.
P.S. —Tell the flyers to be sure
and stay up till Saturday morning,
I will be out and go up with em
