NO RADICAL Bills
Legislature viii Not Pass Landlord
Tenant Laws

Tenant Laws
The Republicans will not pass any
radical bills relating to landlords and
tenants this session of the legislature
and they have a very good reason for
being a little shy in regard to measures
of that character.
Fully % bills have been introduced
which effect the tenant and not one Of
them has been recommended for passage
until it has been amended. The reason
for this is that the Republicans are
afraid to pass a measure which favorS
the landlord for fear that 1t will react
at the next election. They feel that they
cannot AFFORD to take any chances.
One bill was introduced in the senate
which provided that the tenant who did
not pay his rent could be put off ths
place with a three days notice. This
bill was dictated by a man who owns
a great deal of land and who wanted
to get rid Of bad tenants without de
lay.
The COMMITTEES has received at least
one hundred letters from real estate
agents and landlords asking that the
bill be recommended for passage. Twp
years hence the legislature may pass
some strict legislation in this respect.
but nothing radical will be done until
they are satisfied that the Republican
party is sure OF keeping the power in the
legislature.
