Ann Arbor
IT SEEMS TO ME:
Taxation -- No Representation
Elections
THE BIG PUSH in local campaigns for
seven City Council posts is going into
its final week. Important referenda to be
added to the ballot include the vote on a
bond issue for a proposed city hall, an ad-
visory ballot on a possible site for the hall,
and the annexation of the Lakewood resi-
dential area to the city.
Although most University students are
not qualified to vote in the coming elec-
tion according to city rules, faculty mem-
bers will be affected by the outcome of
what is expected to be a record vote for
a city election.
Before discussing the specific issues that
will be presented voters on April 5, the
composition of the present City Council
should be considered. Out of 14 members,
one is a Democrat, 13 are Republicans.
In a city the size of Ann Arbor political
parties should make little difference in the
platforms and activities of Council mem-
bers. However, looking at the record of pre-
sent councilmen one wonders if this has
been borne out. Although there is no pre-
cise split between parties on the surface,
inaction seems to have been the password
for Republicans in the past year. In fact,
the Council president summed it up neatly
when he said recently, "Ann Arbor officials
are all too often bogged down in a mire of
confusion, divided authority, and buck-
passing."
On issues ranging from low-cost housing
to a juvenile detention home to a recreation
commission,. all of which are quite crucial
right now as figures of rising delinquency
and crowded housing show, study and study
and more study has been the procedure of
the council. Certainly careful study is need-
ed on important issues, but when it takes a
city official months to appoint committees
to study particular problems, the whole pro-
cedure of city, government is slowed.
The cliche "it's time for a change" was
echoed through national campaign creeds
in 1952-and as one voter announced last
week, it's time for a change in parties
running this city. Perhaps the Democrats
will be better able to live up to the prom-
ises of action they are making in their
platform-they should be given support by
voters who are disgusted with the mire
and confusion surrounding simple poli-
tical and social issues for the past sev-
eral years.
The city hall issue is among the most
controversial to hit the ballot here in years.
Although many people feel the need for a
new structure to house local government,
they are divided In opinion about the pro-
posed Ann St. site. The main argument
given by those opposed to the named site is
that the cost of moving business establish-
ments to new sites would be more than the
businessmen located on Ann St. can af-
ford. Not to be overlooked in the whole
city hall issue is the fact that all but two
of the businesses on the proposed site are
owned and operated by Negroes. The fact
that this area was picked for a city hall
rather than a large area in the same busi-
ness district now housing a condemned ho-
tel seems to point to a discrimination against
Negroes in business. The problem becomes
more complicated when one considers the
difficulty minority groups will have in set-
ting up shop in any other area that is as
accessible to city business as the Ann St.
site.
In light of coming elections during which
the site will be considered by voters, assur-
ances of new business districts and housing
for the Ann St. merchants and their fam-
ilies have been forthcoming from city offi
cials. However, one wonders whether these
proposals aren't just empty election prom-
ises. It may be noted that on the Demo-
cratic platform, one finds the statement
that "no site should be fixed upon without
prior provision for any residences or busi-
nesses which would- necessarily be displac-
ed."
Concerning the annexation of the Lake-
wood residential area, the residents of that
area have already agreed to pay what-
ever may be spent connecting water and
sewage mains to the city systems--so most
arguments given by opponents are ruled
out on that issue.
In this last week before Monday's elec-
tions Ann Arbor citizens will be looking ov-
er these issues-but unfortunately they us-
ually will not be giving candidates the same
consideration. Sticking to party lines is the
customary practice, even on a local scale,
and to date this has not brought the most
efficient city government.

By ALICE B. SILVER
Associate Editorial Director
COMING OF AGE in Ann Arbor is a big
event.It means a free pitcher of beer
and the right to vote.
But if you happen to live in Wash-
ington, D.C. your 21st birthday doesn't
mean very much. You can drink beer
in the District when you're eighteen. But
you can't vote even if you're 100. This
has been the case since 1878.
The government of Washington, D.C., is
the United States Congress. Any provision
for the city from weed control to civil de-
fense must go through the usual legislative
channels of both houses.
There is a Board of Commissioners which
is not elected and which has no legislative
powers. Washington has no Congressional
representative. Residents cannot vote in
Presidential elections.
The result-a completely disenfranchis-
ed population of almost one million.
For the past six or so years there have
been concerted efforts on the part of citi-
zen groups in the city to get a home rule
bill through Congress. Such bills have been
passed by the Senate in the last two Con-
gresses only to be bottled up in the House
District Committee.
Why have these home rule bills failed?
There are two main reasons. One is the
opposition of Southern Congressmen. The
other, opposition by the Board of Trade.
Southern Congressmen are afraid of Ne-
gro participation and/or dominance in an
elected municipal government. As usual in
such cases, this is an irrational fear. The
Negro population comprises about one third
of the total city. There is, of course, abso-
lutely no reason why Negroes should not
participate in their own government.
The Board of Trade now for many reasons
has an 'in' with both the House District
Committee and the Board of Commissioners.
It has been said, with some truth, that the
Board of Trade is the Government of the
District. Obviously they do not want to
lose their power-which would be the case
under an elected government.
There is also the objection that Wash-
ington is a Federal City and therefore
should not have home rule. But there are
200,000 persons in Washington not in any
way employed by the Government.
Another objection is that the present sys-
tem is efficient while elected government
might not be. Aside from the un-democra-
tic note of this view, it is just not true.
Problems such as juvenile delinquency,
teachers' salaries, slum clearance, street re-
pair, have not been touched by the Con-
gress to any extent. This is not the fault of
the Congress. It simply cannot be expected
to handle such matters with the work load
it has now. It is ridiculous to call efficient
a process which involves going through ev-
ery bit of red tape in Congress to get a pro-
vision passed for the city,
Why have home rule for Washington?
The answer is simple. We of the District
want to vote. We are confident that an
elected municipal government would be
mire efficient in solving the city's prob-
lems than the present set up. We feel it
is an insult to deprive almost one million
American citizens of the vote.
There is now a new home rule bill on
the Senate calendar.
Briefly, it provides for an elected council
of nine members which would have the full
powers of state legislatures with Congress
retaining authority, as it must under the
Constitution, to appeal or amend Council
acts. A mayor would be elected for four
years. The board of education would be
elected. A delegate to the House of Repre-
sentatives would be elected for two years to
act as the District's full time lobbyist. He
would not have the right to vote. There
would be a referendum on the Act to see
if District citizens want home rule, (Polls
have shown that 70 per cent of the Dis-
trict does want the vote.)
What does all this have to do with you?
Just this.
Washington residents are asking that
voting citizens outside of the District
write to their Senators and Congress-
men urging that the Home Rule Bill
(S-2413) be scheduled for the Senate
Floor. There is no reasin why your Sen-
ator or Congressman should waste his
valuable time deciding such matters as
whether a lamp post should be torn down
on G Street in Washington, D.C. Nor is
there any reason why you as voting citi-
zens should not help to grant other citi-
zens the franchise.
Back in the 1770's they were saying: "Tax-
ation without Representation is Tyranny."
We in the District still believe this.

THE BRITISH too have just been having
a discussion about "the long haul" and
"the new look" in military preparedness.
These are subjects about which the British
authorities are very well informed since,
as it happens. they originated both concep-
tions and have led the way to their adop-
tion in this country and by the other NATO
powers.
After reading the report of their discus-
sion in Parliament it seems to me more
than ever plain that there is no serious
dispute of substance among informed and
responsible men on either side of the ocean.
There would have been no seriols public
dispute, and none of the anxious commo-
tion, but for the exaggeration of the lang-.
uage in which a rational development was
blown up to sound as if there had been a
spectacular change in policy.
It is not the nouns, so to speak, of the
Eisenhower military policy but the politi-
cal adjectives that have churned up the
dispute. But for the adjectives used by
Mr. Dulles in January it would not have
seemed so important to Mr. Stevenson to
challenge them, or for Mr. Nixon to rush
to the defense of the adjectives. Then
we could have been spared the attacks by
the British opposition on the United States
because we adopted the basic military
ideas of the British.
The hardest of our immediate -military
problems has figured very little in the de-
bate. To be sure there have been critics to
point out that you cannot win the war in
Indo-China by massive retaliation with
atomic bombs. But none of these critics
has come forward with any plan for win-
ning that war with the more conventional
weapons.
The war in Indo-China is, as a matter of
fact, not the kind of war for which we
have armed ourselves. Yet we have played
an important part in that war, above and

beyond the supplies and the money we
have contributed. The threat of retaliation
has thus far been an effective deterrent
against the open intervention of the Chi-
nese Army and it will, we may hope, be no
less deterrent against intervention of the
Chinese Air Force.
But while we are well armed against open
intervention by the Chinese, it cannot be
said that we possess the kind of military
power which could itself be counted upon to
be decisive against the Viet Minh. This
applies almost as much to the conventional
weapons, which are also getting to be very
new, as to the atomic weapons. They are
designed to maintain the balance of power
among the great military,-powers, and not
for a civil war fought by guerrilla tactics
in a primitive country.
In respect to the war in Indo-China our
power is rather like that which a giant can
exert on a pygmy whom he can reach only
with the tips of his fingers, That is why-
when we examine the matter-we find our-
seves thinking seriously only of a limited,
not of a total, military solution. Our ob-
jective then is to help the French to go on
fighting long enough and hard enough to
prove that they cannot be defeated and
driven into the sea.
I do not see how anyone can quarrel
with this objective. For no one can, I
believe, promise a decisive victory even
if we were willing, which we are not, to
intervene all out ourselves, and thus to
let a very large part of our forces become
engaged in a war against the junior part-
ner of a- junior partner of the Soviet Un-
ion.
