Massa chusetts has tried successful
ly an experiment in aiding workers to
own their homes. according to n re-
port sent to the United States depart
ment of ,lahor. which is now conduct
ing an own Your Home campaign,
Two years ago the first fund of $50
600 was placed at the disposal of a
homestead commission.a and the
state budget now before the le@isls-
nre contains IA provision for $4,000
for further Investment in building.
a tract of land comprising seven
acres was purchased at Lowell, one
of the largest centers for textile man.
ufacture in the country, Plans for
46 houses each with a garden. were
made for this site, and II cottages
were built nj a cost of from $1,000 to
$4,000 each. Every house was readily
sold. an original deposit of from $50
to 500 being required. ana n suffi-
cient amount monthly being paid to
assure the ownership of the property
in 16 years.
The plan worked out so satisfactor-
lily that application was made to the
legislature for an additional 100000
but the amount was cut down to $50
900 on account of necessary consider
ations of economy Before the first
money was appropriated the supreme
court of Massachusetts had ruled ad-
versely on the question whether the
state legally could appropriate money
for such n purpose but when the
plan was submitted to the people on
n referendum it was approved by an
overwhelming vote. A law providing
for state housing was then enacted.

Beer and Law.

Owing to the laci: OF definition in
the law a complicated situation cx-
stS with respect to the alcoholic con
tent of beer that IS permitted under
wartime prohibition. The Depart
mont of Justice authorizes nave ri:,cl
that no beer conta mig more than !.
OF ! per cent of :..,oiicl IS perm ssh
BILE \ federal court i'll Baltimore and
one in New York have ruled that beer
conta n:pg "a per cent of alcohol may
be made and sold. \ third federal
court in San Franc;sc has ruled that
only y Of ! per cent is legal. Obvious
ly. as regards judicial Interpretation
of the law. the matter must 60 to the
Supreme Court. But that court has
adjourned for the summer, and mean
while it is poss bic that the operation
of the wartime law may expire by
lin .tation or by executive decree.
What is wanted by the brewery inter
ests is immediate definition. for if they
proceed with the brew of 2*y per cent
beer and the court ultimately rules
that it is illegal they are subject to
penalties. Congress has had no time
in the rush of passing appropriation
bills to enact an enforcing measure,
for which its predecessor made no pro-
vision. Such measure is in form.
ready for consideration. Now an eff
fort will be made to rush it through
the houses Immediately after the re-
operative recess which has been taken
pending the arrival of the President
1t is announced that the Department
of Justice will not be guided by the
conflicting opinions rendered by the
courts, but will adhere to its initial
Interpretation of the law With de-
mobilization and consequent expira-
ton of wartime prohibition matter
of perhaps three months, and with ma
ton wide prohibition under the amend
ment matter of only SIX and half
months, the case is. complicated be-

The Treaty Elsewhere.

As the English, the French and the
Italians have been interested in what
has been said in our Senate about the
peace treaty, and will show even more
interest in what is said there after the
treaty has been submitted by the
President, so shall we now be inter
ested in what is said ON the subject
in their legislative bodies.
NJ. Clemenceau submitted the treaty
to the French chamber of deputies
Monday. and made some general re-
marks on it. Mr.. Lloyd George will
submit it to the house of commons to-
morrow, and give his explanation of
it. We shall hear from Rome, of
course, in due time.
The discussion in the house of COM
mons will interest us most Mr.. Lloyd
George is an orator of power--one of
the best debaters in parliament, and
probably the best stump speaker in
inc IoilliSu lSldHuS- he KNOWS the
subject. He was one of the men who
shaped the treaty
The league of nations is the feature
of the treaty which most concerns us !;
and that. as drawn, is largely of Brit
ish origin. Gen. SHUTS stands cred
tied with the performance, but Mr..
Lloyd George and Mr.. Balfour-two
master politicians-must have had a
part in it.
At any rate, Mr. Lloyd George un-
derstands the league from the British
! point Of view, and what he shall say
about it will be worth our while.
His story about the whole treaty is
likely to be full. Although in Office as
the result of sweeping victory at the
polls, he has some sharp critics in par
lament and in the London press, and
they are not altogether pleased with
his course at the peace conference.
This will be their opportunity. there
fore, to draw him out on all the points
of difference between them.
Here, then, are four sources from
which the world should receive much
light about the treaty, its drafting and
the Interpretation its authors put upon
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1919-07-02

it. Mr.. Wilson here. Mr.. Lloyd George
in London, NJ. Clemenceau in Paris.
and the man who stands for the treaty
in Rome, will be able to supply de-
tails, and reply to all objections that
may be urged.
All four men are probably expect
ing search ng interrogations. and all
four probably are prepared for such an
experience. They have produced a
document whose importance could not
be exaggerated. The whole world is
both interested and involved. If rati-
fed, the treaty must be executed.
Hence all its terms should be clearly
set forth now. so that all the nations
may understand what is in store for
them.

Financial Equity for District.

Congress has again agreed that the
organic act should not he amended
IN the vital provision Of the half-and
half pledge by rider upon an appro-
priation bill. 1t was indicated i'll the
House debate that proposed changes
in the financial relations of nation and
capital would be taken up promptly
and pushed vigorously IN the District
committees.
This is obviously the wise and fair
course to take. There is no unfair
ness to the District i'll the cons dcra-
ton as a separate legislative mc2surc
of the proposition of u new bass for
financing the capital municipality.
Such measure. carefully drawn and
proposed in season for deliberate con-
sideration, may be enacted if there is a
disposition in the two houses of Con
gress to change the principle. But it
should not be so enacted without in
Quiry and hearings.
The efforts made during recent years
to change the system have been resisted
by the friends of the District in Con-
gress chiefly because of the fact that
It was proposed to leave the problem
dnsolvcd save by taking all the Dis
irict's rC "nucs and leaving the amount
of federal contr, button undct, rmined.
Those opposed to the half-and-half
plan have heretofore had no better
method of cap tai maintenance to offer.
Indeed they have proposed no definite
substitute at all.
If there is disposition in Congress
to change the method of capital fnanc
ing, let the matter be taken in hand
promptly, without such delay as to
make for incomplete consideration.
Let it be considered constructively,
dispassionately and without prejudice.
1t is to be assumed that Congress
wishes to insure a capital municipality
of adequate equipment and scale of
maintenance, that it does not desire
a siackening in the manner of admin
istration. that it wants Washington to
become and remain model municipal
ity, steadily developing in all essen
tials.
1t is also to be assumed that Con-
gress will take all the District equities
into account in readjustment of re-
lations, and in reframing to meet to-
days conditions the organic act of
1873. In the last stage Of the question
Congress has the definite responsible
ity of decision. The District, however,
expects chance to present its case,
and to this end the obviously equitable
manner of consideration is by way of
a separate measure which will reduce
to concrete terms the proposals of
those who take issue with the present
system.
