n ONGRESS will have it's hands full

lar matter which will be agitated will
probably not disrupt the union, al
though it has been the subject of con-
tention since the states got together.
1t all came about through an in
cipient instruction on the part Of
citizens of the District of Columbia
They got up dinner at the New Will
lard hotel in Washington and invited
President Taft. Then they sprung it
on" him that they wanted representa-
ton in the government; wanted rep
fascination on the floor of the house
and senate; wanted voice in elect
ing the president and few other lit
tie things.
President Taft told them that if
they wanted little things like that
they ought not to crowd their de-
mands into social affairs. He sug-
gested that it would be more to their
credit if they started a movement to
get back the slice Of the original Dis
trict of Columbia, which a too gen.
erous congress had given back to the
state of Virginia.
The citizens of the district jumped
at the opportunity. They welcomed it.

draw up bill broadly liberal in spir-
it. but devoid of fanaticism and de-
signed to assure freedom Of worship

his elevation to the post Of minister
of public instruction and worship in
1906. During the church and state
troubles he appears to have acted
with firmness and moderation and

saigne, December 81, 1907, he was
appointed minister of justice, retain

NV ASHINGTON.-Although not at all

intent upon carrying out a sociological
experiment. group of officeholders
in the capital, most of them govern
ment clerks, has practically completed
plans for the execution of one of the
most novel schemes in the history of
real estate trading in the capital.
Their primary object is to escape the
burden of paying rent in the city and
to substitute suburban life for urban
life, and with this end in view they
intend to found bungalow town, in
which the limits of cost of nearly
everything necessary to household
upbuilding and maintenance will be
held to the lowest possible level.
Just where Bungalow Town" will
be located has not yet been definitely
determined, but it will comprise an
area of Is to 20 acres, convenient to
some of the suburban trolley lines
This land can now be secured at a
cost not to exceed $1,000 an acre, and
when it is subdivided there will be no
effort to secure profit upon the money
invested, because the purchase will be
distinctly cooperative affair, and
each participant will be entitled to his
share of the increased value of the
land incident to the placing of i'm.
provements in the section.

QUESTION of property is in itself con-
siderable Of an innovation in Wash
ington, but by far the most novel
feature of the proposition lies in the
building restrictions" In a majority
of the newer suburbs assurance is
given to the purchaser of each lot
that the character of the section will
always be maintained by the writing
of covenant into his deed that each
house built in the vicinity shall cost
not less than stated number of
thousands Of dollars. In Bungalow
Town" this proposition will be exactly
reversed. for it will be specifically
provided that no bungalow shall cost
in excess Of $1,000 This will reduce
the maximum expenditure of each
property holder to $4,000, because it
will be provided in the original subdi-
vision that each bungalow must be
surrounded by one acre of ground.
Subsequently it will be permissible to
further subdivide and build additional
bungalows, although at no time will
the projectors of the enterprise permit
a house to stand upon less than one
half acre of ground
Bungalow Town" will make it's
nearest imitation to sociological col
ony in its purchases of supplies Of
all sorts from the outside world. In
the first place there will be co-opera-
ton in buying the land and then there
will be determined effort to save ex-
pense in building by the letting Of
contracts to build the little homes in
blocks of two or more to each con-
tract. When Bungalow Town" is set
tied it is proposed that the women
folk shall join in the formation of a
central purchasing committee so that

dignified to work for something which
they might justly regard as beneficial
to their municipality; it might even
be regarded as patriotic. The presi-
dent suggested that they might get
some one to introduce a bill in con-
gress to bring it about. And it will
be done. Hence congress will have.
it's hands full.
That the getting back of this chival-
rous gift of land is somewhat of a hot
coal is shown by the fact that the
supreme court of the United States
evaded passing on its constitutionality,
and congress, which has picked it up,
twice, has dropped it in two different
ways.
For the information of those inter-
ested it might be said that this Vir-.
ginia portion of the original District
of Columbia comprises some thirty
odd square miles, now Alexandria
county. The constitution having called
for a plot ten miles square, the bal
ance of the district comprises some
sixty odd square miles. The one-third
now part of Virginia, President Taft
thinks, ought to come back.
That President Taft was prophetic
in his suggestion the lost third should
be recovered is generally conceded. 1t
is felt that it will not be long before,
this government will need it for vari-
GUS institutions. Already it has bought
back part of it for Arlington National
cemetery, Fort Myer and other pro-
jects. And as soon as the identifying
