AS the slavery question became more
intense and acute. because the slaves
were confined &c one section, so the negro
question is rendered more difficult be-
cause the overwhelming mass OF negroes
are forced TO remain in the South.
Except for small percentage, there
is no opportunity for the race In the

SUBJECT IS ABLY DISCUSSED
subcommittee Submits Its Report
Which VIII Be Acted Upon by
Chamber of COmmerce-Plan for
Recording Property Transfers APP
prOved-High Cost of Living.

Consideration OF three reports, recently
completed by subcommittee. was taken
up by the committee on law and legisla-
ton OF the Chamber Of Commerce yes
terday afternoon. The reports were each
adopted after being read and discussed,
They will later be submitted to the
Chamber for action.
George Linkins submitted the report OF
his committee on the validity Of the law
retroceding Alexandria County to Nir-
ginia in 1876. The report is a long docu-
ment. setting forth the circumstances
under which the retrocession was made.
the general desirability of getting the
ceded territory back into the District OF
Columbia and the constitutional aspects
of the subject.
RetrocessIon Was Natural
Mr.. Linkins said that in 1916, before the
days of bridges across the Potomac.
before street ears and modern means OF
communication. the people OF Virginia OF
that day. Congress. and all concerned
were convinced that the best thing was
fer the cession OF Virginia TO the Dis
trict should go back to the donor The
Yirginians lived remote from the center
OF government. had no political privileges
and wanted to enjoy them. Congress de-
clared in its reports that the Capital did
not then, and never would, need the ter
ritory on the Virginia side for the Capital
Now all Is changed according TO the
report. The people of Alexandria County
want to come back; the Capital needs the
additional room to expand. and the dan
ger of having a large city across the Po-
tomac as a rival to Washington, Mr.
Linkins declared, is nearer than many
suppose
Thinks Law Constitutional.
Looking into the eOnstitutionality of
the law OF 1876. Mr.. Linkins set forth the
opinion that the law is constitutional. and
would stand as valid if decision should
be handed down upon it by the court OF
last resort. According 20 the report the
best means Of getting the territory back
into the District is along the same lines
by which it was first ceded, through &C
ton by the Virginia legislature by gift
to the United States.
The second report considered by the
committee was presented Dy r. Louis
Willige. and related to bills pending in
the Senate providing for a change in
the manner of recording land conveyanees
In the office OF the recorder Of deeds.
The plan proposed is to record them by
numbered lots In numbered squares, in
stead of numbered lots in the names of
subdivisions, as at present. One OF the
bills also provides for the indexing of
the records in the Office Of the recorder,
so as to facilitate the examination OF
titles.
The third report related to the investi-
cation into the high cost Of living in the
District, which has airesdy been made
public
The directors OF the Chamber of Com
meree will hold a special meeting next
Monday afternoon at o'clock to con-
slider a report from the house committee
