INDEPENDENT DEALER S
OPPOSE LICENSE BILL
OVER ONE HUNDRED AGENTS
SIGN PAPER
Proposed /rtlcle Objected to Aims to
License Real Estate Men in Man.
ner Similar to Profess
sionaI Persons

Independent real estate agents have
passed resolutions opposing the pro-
posed bill to license dealers in real es-
tate throughout the state. Che bill is
fostered by the State Realty fedora
ton and aims to place the real estate
agent in a position similar to that of
a lawyer, doctor or other professional
man.
The resolution opposing the bill,
signed by over 100 real estate agents
not members of the federation or local
board, is as follows:
Whereas, A bill is to be introduced
at the next session of the legislature
placing a license tax on all who deal
in real estate and also to place them
under heavy bonds;
Resolved, That we, the Independent
real estate agents, who are not affil-
lated with any association and repre-
senting large majority of the agents
Of Los Angeles, protest against any
such law as unwarranted, unneces-
sary and malicious and not for the pub
lie interest, but tending to create a
monopoly for the exclusive benefit of
the few
Resolved, That the small dealers
and not the associations have been
most instrumental in the upbuilding of
Los Angeles by the great amount of
advertising space they maintain in the
city papers and the amount of office
room they demand in the office build
ings and in the telephone service.
Resolved, That we request the mem-
bers of both branches of our legisla-
ture and the city council of Los An
geles not to pass such law, and we
regard 1t as the height of imprudence
and a libel on the real estate agents
of this city and state in creating the
impression that the real estate agents
are not as reliable as any other class
of business men of the community who
are doing business without license or
bond.
Resolved, That the laws of this state
are ample to protect both the public
and the real estate agents, and that
further legislation for this purpose is
at this time

Base Ball Sunday.

There will be a'cracking fine
game of ball at this place next
Sunday between the Baxter and
Mineral teams, and it may be
that a double header will be
played, but this has not been
decided yet. The Mineral team
is one of the best in the Inter
State League, and will put up a
mighty good game Sunday.
Hamilton, the phenomenal south
paw, only sixteen years old, will
dish up the slants for the Min
eral team, while Moffett will
roll the sphere for the home
boys.
This is going to be the best
game of the season on the home
diamond, and if you miss it you
will miss a rare treat. In the
game last Sunday lhe Mineral
team won and the Baxter boys
want revenge. Hamilton and
Moffett were the pitchers in that
game, and Hamilton struck out
fifteen men and Moffett twelve.
Only one ball was knocked out of
the diamond. Next Sundays
game will be equally as good.
The Baxter team is now under
the management of Sam Abrams,
and will be kept up to the usual
standard. The old manager
found he had not the time to
look after the team, so Abrams
was prevailed to take charge of
it. We trust the new manage
ment will have the supper of all
true lovers of the game.
See the game next Sunday.
Admission 25c. Rigs free.
Since writing the above we
learn the Mineral and Baxter
managers have decided that the
game next Sunday will be a
double header. 1t is going to
be base ball, all right. and there
should be big turnout. Think
of it, two fine games for, the
price of one.
