The Dry Amendment Questioned.

The question has been raised as to
the validity of the proposal to amend
the Constitution of the United States
to the end of prohibiting liquor traffic,
on the ground that it was adopted by.
the House of Representatives by less
than two-thirds of the total member
ship. The vote in the House December
IL by which the amendment was adopt
ed was 2sa TO 1873, or eight more than
two-thirds of those voting. The total
membership of the House not reckon
ing vacancies. is 435, of which two-thirds
is go. or eight more than the number
voting for the amendment in December
On this point there has heen already
some discussion. Yesterday the first
move was made to test it. The New
York assembly adopted a resolution re-
questing the clerks of the United states
Senate and House to transmit to it a
certified copy of the vote in Congress
BY which the amendment was declared
passed. This is regarded as an action

War Finance.

The Senate spent TWO weeks debating
the war finance corporation bill, and
made some important changes in the
measure. The House viii take 1t up
for debate Tuesday, and changes will
be made by that body.
How long the House debate will con
tinue is a question. 1t should be long
enough to cover every point at issue,
and cover it thoroughly.
The proposition came from the Treas
ury Department, and had the indorse-
ment of the President. The Senate.
however, objected to certain policies of
the bill as originally drawn, and amend
ed it. The House differs with both the
Executive and the Senate, and III part
Will rewrite the measure.
The money feature of the war is, in
the last analysis, the big feature. Our
resources are considerable, and for all
we know We have just begun to draw
upon them. How heavily we shall be
obliged TO draw in order 10 meet our
full Obligations nobody may say. The
war is on, supplies in increasing guam
titles are going forward, and the bust
ness OF the country is in resultant state
of uncertainty and dislocation.
For this reason every measure of a
financial character should be drawn with
the greatest care. Congress, which con-
trols the purse, should keep in most
intimate connection with all questions
bearing in any way on financial matters
In the differences of opinion that have
arisen over this measure there is not the
slightest trace OF politics. In adj war
matters Congress is still strictly ron
partisan.
What is TO he noticed tomorrow IN this
and in other matters, is q keener spirit
Of examination by Congress of all ques-
lions growing out of the war. 1t is put
ting its own views forward with more
confidence and resolution than at one
time It wants TO be shown-to be GER
tain-before going ahead
Gu. OF this procedure much good
should issue The powers of Congress
are great. and cannot be delegated. Its
obligations are heavy. and should not be
shirked. At present both the executive
and the legislative departments OF the
government are hard driven. They
should not clash. nor encroach upon
each other. Teamc york all around is the
only assurance against confusion and
failure.

court This is the first time on record
it is believed that a state legislature has
gone behind the returns in the matter
of a constitutional amendment, to ex-
press doubt of the validity of its snb-
mission, and there is some question as
to whether it is in the power of the leg
islature of any state thus to challenge
the submission. The courts may rule
on this point apart from the question of
the validity of the House vote. al the
precedcnts in Congress support the con-
tsntion that the vote required on the
joint resolution proposing an amend
ment TO the Constitution is two thirds
of those voting, quorum being pres
emit. ard not two-thirds of the entire
membership. Advocates of federal pro-
hibition have no doubt whatever that
the amendment as submitted to the
states is in all respects valid, and that
if the courts are asked to pass upon
this question they will sustain this con-
tention. Meanwhile the work of rati-
feation is proceeding. A resolution ae-
cepting the federal amendment has
passed both houses of the Texas legis-
lature. Texas makes the eighth state to
ratify out of the thirty-six necessary
for approval.

400 habitable vacant dwellings, show
ing that nearly 1000 have been put to
use in the last four months Undoubt-

police as habitable arc not, from their
location and size, suitable for use in

the vacant habitable houses, however,
was occupied with an average Of six per-
sons to the house accommodations
would be afforded for only 1874 per-
SONS, a very small percentage of those
now requiring room in Washington The
chief demand at present is by new
corners who are not In a position to
keep house, but must be accommodated
in boarding houses. Only small per-
centage of the vacant houses are avail
able for boarding house purposes, and
doubtless most of those that have been
occupied since the November count have
been of character to afford facilities
to the newcomers These figures indi-
cate that Washington is near to the
point of exhausting the available exist
ing housing resources, unless more peo-
pie can be taken into private homes.

The Wheat Supply.

Stated in the simplest possible terms,
people this year is that they must save
5O,0O0,000 bushels OF wheat in four
months from their ordinary consump-
ton, in order to maintain supply of
foodstuffs required by the people of
England, France and Italy. During eight
months ending March l they saved
100000 bushels, or at the rate Of
100000 bushels month. During the
next four months they must save at the
rate of twelve and a half millions bush
eds a month. These facts are set forth in
an article printed elsewhere today. They
are impressive. They mean only one
thing, that the American people have
not yet fully realized the need of sub
stitution ard saving imposed upon them
by this war,
This is always to be remembered,
that the government, whose business it
is to see that the wheat exports are suf-
fcient to meet the demand of our allies,
can send overseas the full amount re-
quired and leave the American people
to do as best they eau. All that is nee
essary is for the home consumers to
determine whether they shall substitute
other foods for wheat products during
the next four months or, eating without
restriction during part of that period,
suddenly find themselves deprived of
wheat altogether.
The harvest prospect is good. If
the season. is propitious there will be
an abundance of grain for both export
and home consumption. But for the
next four months there is need for the
strie.est economy and the most careful
substitution.
This Is no theory. No matter what
has heen said in any quarter about the
mistakes of the food administration or
the necessity or lack of necessity of
this, that or another order or regula-
ton, the fact remains that there will
moi be enough wheat during the next
four months Tor both export and home
consumption. We must export it. We
cannot win this war unless the people
of Italy, England and France are sus-
tanned SelIshness a. our tables is a
contribution to the enemy.
