REALTY DEALERS ASSOCIATION
A FLOURISHINC ORGANIZATION
Secretary Skagss Annual Report Shows that Material
Growth Has Been Made Duuins the Past Year

The report of T. J. Skaggs Of Colo
RADIO Springs as secretary Of the Colo
RADIO Realty Dealers association.
which was submitted to the members
at the annual meeting at Elks hall on
Wednesday. shows the organization to
be in a vigorous. healthy condition
The report in detail 10 a. follows:
Mr. President. Directors and Members
OF The Colorado Realty Dealers
Association:
Since our last convention. held In
Denver three months ago. many new
features Of importance in the work OF
building this association have been re-
vealed. From a membership OF IS. en-
rolled as charter members at our first
meeting in Colorado Springs a year
ago. the number has increased to
nearly three hundred. / trust that
each of you know that membership
constitutes an organization. To ac-
oomplish this progress several cours-
es OF experimenting were gone thru.

by mail, btu this manner proved unef-
fective early in the campaign. then
began q personal canvass Of the state.
and found this method only brought
successful results. Since our last con-
vention nearly 500 miles have been
covered. Over 400 real estate dealers
have been called upon and requested to
Join the association; one hundred and
twenty-five of these have taken out
cards, and many have pledged them
selves. However, the increase in mem
bership is not as great as the effort
justified. Some OF the reasons may be
covered as follows:
Indifference upon the part of deal
ers toward organization. and lack OF
wide comprehension of what is need
ed to build up Colorado. When ap-
preached by the solicitor some deal
ers query thus: What do get for my
$500. How will the Association bene-
fit me?" Now when the oficers and
co-workers are literally contributing
their time and energy to the organi-
zation. you will understand how
sometimes. the situation becomes ex-
asperating.

of untrue statements the attacks made
on the bank guaranty law in this state
beats all records. On the announce

a part of the state and beyond the

HAYES FIRST TO
EXTEND WELCOME
u
Meeting of President Taft and Diaz
Will Not Be establishing a
Precedent.

Washington. d. c., Oct. 5.-Ruther-
ford B. Hayes was the first American
president, according to the Interna-
tionad Bureau Of Republic, to shake
the hands Of contemporary Ameri-
can president.
This was in 1879. when Rufino Bar
rios, president of Guatemala, visited
Washington and was received in state
! by President Hayes.
The next meeting between an Amer
lean president and contemporary
chief executive of the American con-
tinept was in 1886, when President
Cleveland and Gen zaldizer, presi-
dent Of Salvador, met in Washington.
President Mckinley in 1895 met
President IgeIesias Of Costa Rico at
Washington President Mckinley also
had a faint hope of meeting President
Diaz somewhere on the Mexican bor-
der during the formers extended trip
through the south and west in 1901,
but the idea never took tangible shape.
The fourth meeting between presi-
dents of the American republics with
the chief executive of the United
States as one of the principals was a
novelty in that it was the first time
that an American president left the
soil of the United States and stood
under the protection of foreign flag
This was President Roosevelt's visit
in August, 1906. to the Republic of
Panama, when he was President ANA
doris guest at banquet in Panama
City.
The fifth meeting was in 1907. when
President Amador came to Washing
ton and was entertained by President
Roosevelt at the White House.
The sixth and probably the most
memorable Of all these meetings, will
be the exchange of visits between
President Taft and President Diaz at.
Ell Paso on Oct. is. Each president
will leave his native Soil and pass tenn
porarily under the protection Of for
eign flag The meeting viii take place
on the border at a point practically
equidistant from the seat of each gov
ernment.
