Therefore, all who desire to vote at an

stay at home. For years it has been

tiers and who are not afflicted with the
ills OF poverty. A very large percentage
of the domestic servants Of Washington
live In these places. and thus the homes
of the well-to-do are daily in immediate
touch with the noisome slums. Statistics
are available in abundance to prove the
bad effects Of alley conditions. the low
percentage Of health, the high death rate
among infants, the low standards OF
morality. There is no need to consult re-
ports or to hear lectures to understand
the true nature of this problem. What is
required is a complete clearance of these
Damp unventilated, often undrained, I'M
watered tenements where the poor live
closely packed. They must be given bet
ter places of residence than they have
now. For every alley dwelling that is
destroyed provision must be made for its
occupants elsewhere. Washington's prob
lem is not one merely of cleaning up. but
of construction on a large systematic
scale. 1t has neglected the housing ques-
ton for so many years that it will be
difficult now to meet it satisfactorily. but
it must be met, and at any cost. If the

stantly the deplorable conditions which
must be met by new laws and private en-
terprise.

The Chevy Chase Charter Question

The citizens of Chevy Chase, Nd, have
for some time been anxious to secure
charter of incorporation from the state
in order to give them the right to use
exclusively for local improvements the
money raised by them in municipal taxes.
their community being the most prosper
Gus in the county, and under the pres
ent conditions bearing the largest share
of county burden without obtaining the
benefit proportionately Of their heavier
contributions to the county funds. Last
Saturday the question of Incorporation
was submitted to the people and was
carried by 1914 to 1S. With this expression
of almost unanimous public desire for a
charter a delegation from Chevy Chase
visited Annapolis. The citizens were told
that their bill for a charter could not re-
ceive the support of their own represent
atives in the legislature. but that sub
stitute bill for the creation Of special
tax area, the funds to be administered
by the county commissioners, would be
pressed for passage. The opposition to
the charter was frankly based upon the
fact that the ma iority of the people of
Chevy Chase are of an opposite political
faith to the majority OF the county, and
poration will be resisted. This attitude
has justly aroused the Indignation of the
residents of Washington's thriving Mary
land suburb, who feel that they have
been treated with indignity, their plain
wishes ignored and question that should
be considered strictly without reference
to partisanship reduced to the low level
of politics. 1t is unfortunate that the
representatives at Annapolis should have
taken this position. The people of Chevy
Chase have developed community Of
which Montgomery county and Maryland
should be proud, and last Saturdays plain
indication Of their wishes in a ballot with
over 81 per cent of the voters favoring
Incorporate ton should have been accepted
by the legislators without question and
without partisanship. 1t is to be hoped
that the decision will be reconsidered and
that Chevy Chase will be given the form
of government which its people SO over
whelmingly desire without reference to
party.
