Constructive District Legislation.

The District committee OF the House
can now proceed with the consideration
of constructive legislative measures aimed
at making Washington a model city, and
a model to other cities not SO much in an
architectural as in a sociological sense
The committee can now proceed with the
considerat ton of those measures because
its table has been cleared by recent votes
of the House of Representatives Of
those bills which consumed so much of
the committees time and energy and
which were aimed at doubling the al
ready burdensome taxation of the people
of the District of Columbia and at an
the mutual building and support of the
seat OF the national government.
Among the important constructive leg
islative proposals pending are those look
ing to the elimination of alley dwellings
in Washington and Complementary propo-
sitions for the construction of sanitary
dwellings for those persons who would
be made homeless by the destruction of
alley tenements. The elimination of al
ley "homes" is desirable. slumless
capital is wanted. A city OF the highest
health rate is also wanted. The Presi-
dent and Mrs. Wilson are personally in
terested in this work and their influence
is strongly helpful to those citizens of
Washington who for many years have
been seeking means to get very poor peo-
pie out Of the alleys and into happier
and wholesome surroundings.
The alley is not proper place for
human hahtation. The Star on March
said:
THE construction of alley houses was a
mistake. The Star opposed this form of
housing when the construction of living
quarters for men and women in courts
and alleys was begun on an extensive
scale a good many years ago. But there
was demand for quarters of this char
acter. the rentals were attractively low
to the class Of tenants appealed to. and
the returns to investors in this class of
property were large. Public opinion had
not developed on this question, and the
hardship on alley dwellers and the phys
ical and moral perils OF slums were not
then appreciated as now. Alley evils
have grown. and against them has also
grown a strong and proper sentiments
sentiment now so strong and popular that
the elimination OF alley habitations i'm
pends."
AS it is nearly universally agreed that
alley dwellings should go it is necessary
that provision be made for those people
who would be turned out. They cannot
sleep out-of-doors and they cannot rent
fine houses on broad boulevards or take
leases on 4ine suites in stylish apart
ment houses. In Europe the construction
Of sanitary dwellings for the poor has al
ways gone hand in hand with the elimina-
ton Of slums, and that plan should be
followed here. II alley dweilers are to go
they must go somewhere and seek quar-
ters where the rentals are within their
means. People do not crowd into alleys
| because they prefer them AZ places of
abode, but because the rents are low.

The House Situation.

The terms on which the filibustc. in the
House over the democratic program mas
ended are not such as the country Is ihe-
l. to approve
Mr.. Thompson of Oklancma ana NE
Wfngo of Arkansas demonstrated the
fact that the House was running on one
wheel Business of Importance was III
hand. and business of more Importance
on the cards. and Yet many members
were absent at home campaigning. or II
in WASHINGTON inattentive. to their duties.
Only a comparatively few members were
passing on measures and making the rec
ord for the democratic party.
As Mr. Underwood could not deny
this. he had to negotiate accordingly.
no further attention be formally called TO
the small House attendance.
Here, them is an extraordinary stua-
ton. Messrs. Thompson and WinSo
want action-not merely House action,
but action by Congress-at this session
on rural credits. II is a most important
matter. and but very little understood 1t
ought 10 have the consideration of a full
House but in the circumstances even its
friends cannot furnish a quorum.
Mr.. Underwood wants action by Con-
gress at this session on the trust aues-
tion. in obedience to the President 5
wishes as expressed through the caucus.
II is very important question. and one
about which in its present shape there is
much division of opinion. The business
world is complaining of certain features
of the democratic program Union labor
IS complaining of other features. and
charging a violation of campaign prom
ises
And vet il is proposed tlat the House,
while in rump form. shall deal with the
question. Mr.. Underwood does not en-
gage to furnish quorum. That is prob
ably beyond his power. All he asks is
that no formal notice be taken by any
democratic member of the absence of a
quorum. If a republican makes the point
his action can be charged to partisan OBJ
struction. and emphasis laid on it from
the stump later.
II Is plain that Congress is jaded-to use
homely domestic phrase, all beat out .
1t would best serve itself and the coun-
try by postponing until another time ac-
uon on such questions as call for fair
and full debate and fresh physical and
intellectual condition on the part of the
debaters. The House at such a time
should not go beyond the necessary rou-
tine. The Senate at such time should
not accept House action which. under
outside pressure. goes beyond routine In
other words. such momentous questions
as trusts and rural credits should not be
driven through Congress with the aid of
gag rules or any other partisan means
adopted in a pinch, with business iu n
state OF suspense and the most expe-
rienced business men nervous and dis
couraged.

A Female Electorate.

From the Chicago Post.
One of the grounds Oh which the
house of lords rejected the suffrage
was that in England the women were
in Il majority-a very small one, as a
matter of fact-and that to grant equal
suffrage would be to hand over the
destinies of the country 10 a female
electorate. The noble lord who voiced
that particular objection was seeing
spooks. The slight numerical major
ity of women over men would never
turn itself into a political majority.
In the first place, on no issue would
all the women line up on one side
against all the men Ito say nothing
of the fact that if that impossib1ilty
did happen the women would probably
be right). In the second place, the anti
sufYragists should not vote at all II
their dislike to equal suffrage is hon
est In the third place, the woman in
differentists. and they are proportion
ately more numerous than the man in
differentists. would not vote.

Oratorical Nuisances.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
The use of the streets by seif-appointed
uplifters for oratorical purposes has be-
come a general nuisance. 1t interferes
with the legitimate uses of the thorough
fares: it is an ofense to people going
about their ordinary pursuits: it Is an
opportunity for jostlers and pickpockets
and it is an injury to property owners,
whose rights in their buildings are in
fringed. Even the possession of q police
permit. granted no doubt under misappre-
hension does not justify a party OF half
f1edged transformers of society In draw
ing up beside a crowded sidewalk at a
crowded hou. and creating a dangerous
lam in the circulation of foot passengers.
Evening star., 1914-05-16

And, though the rents are low. it has
been proved that the interest on the capi-
tai invested in the property is usually
large. 1t has been demonstrated that
where philanthropy and sound fair busi-
ness principles are wisely compounded
better quarters at less rental can be fur
nfshed the poor than they are now able
to obtain in the alleys.
