growing all over the country, ana IN many
states so-called blue sky investment laws
have been introduced. and in some IN
stances passed, bringing all investment
offerings under the scrutiny OF the state.
None of these have been highly satlslac-
tory or practicable, and II remains lot
some state TO set a model for such. leg
islation. The state of Massachusetts re-
ferred this important question TO com
mission which for more than year mas
had under consideration the preparation
of scch a law and has recommended an
excellent statute. but il would seem 10 us
fitting that New York state as the great
est investment state i'm the country. should
be able to draft and pass model law
bringing the corporations, the brokers and
the bankers handling the same all under
the rrorer state supervision.
THE few small losses incurred by the
public i'm recent failures in the real estate
field should not confuse the issue or blind
the public to the fact that what is needed
is a general investment law protecting all
alike from all alike There can be TO
justice or proprety in attempting 10 sim
gle out real estate i'm this connection or
to make real estate companies alone sub

City has earned a return of more than
per cent on the average for centuries. and
We do not believe that day has passed.
Since the taxbooks of New York CITY
were first opened, through good times and

NEW AID TO H0MESEEKERS
Views of Suburban Places Of
Mcknight Co. Displayed.

An attractive shortcut i'm the investIsa
, ton Of the method Of showing suburban
homes was begun some months ago as =
special feature by the Mcknight Realty
Company.
1.-THE continued demand OF home inyes-
tors for something showing the character
Of our various properties" SAYS Frank
Crowell. sales manager of the Mcknight
Realty Company, caused us to have pre-
pared an elaborate collection OF enlarged
photographs of our developments and the
actual residences completed and occupied
up to the present time. These are now on
: exhibition at our perpetual homeseekers'
exposition.
There is now a decided Discrimination
among home purchasers to ramble aim
lessly around the suburbs searching for
an agreeable environment and artistic,
practicable homes.
THE date, as to the cost of land ard
the actual cost OF home construction. are
geographically displayed, and the home
buyer at once Is aware OF the actual con-
ditions as 10 neighborhood recreations and
social environment thus eliminating locs-
tons not suitable to his taste and pocket
book.
Heretofore, the land developers rrin.
cipal interest in the purchaser was 10 sell
lot or plot. To-day he is Obliged 10
supply not only satisfactory home sites
but houses as well.
"A further facility in this direction was
the establishment OF a reference library,
which contains all books pertaining 10
architecture In the building of suburban
and country houses and bungalows OF
frame, halftimber. brick, concrete and
stucco; and In addition house planning,
interior decorations and landscape gar
dening. This library also contains all
monthly publications on country life and
architectural magazines. It is available
to the homeseeking public without
charge.
This attractive feature has brought
numerous inquiries through newspaper
advertising and all are at liberty TO dis
cuss in detail the important phases OF
home ownership
1t is for all homeseekers that We have
endeavored to put the business of sub
urban development and house building
upon scientific basis, and we are pre-
pared to show such people just how one
Of our clients, directed TO this ONCE
through an advertisement in the New
York papers of our reference library,
purchased house on our property. This
client was former tenant in an apart
ment house in New York City. Ills eX-
perience in home ownership Is worthy OF
investigation"

fields. There is this that can be said
about real estate companies-their assets
are at least tangible and visible, which
is not true OF many corporations Issuing
securities. When real estate companies
publish a statement of their assets, people
can at least look at them and reach some
conclusion i'm their own minds az TO their
proper value. and even i'm their liquida-
ton residue OF value would remain to
the creditors in excess Of that which Is
usually found.
1.-The important thing now is not to let
surface irritations or local conditions mis-
lead us into inaccurate CONGRATULATIONS
ana false conclusions. The ethics and
practice of those engaged in this bust
ness, / am confident, will average up to
those in any other line of business. All
II asks or has a right to expect is fair
dealing and impartial treatment. 1t 10
then perfectly able to justify and take
care of itself. and no attempt 10 discredit

that all advertisements OF such securities
plainly state their true nature, and, fur
Their, that on the securities themselves
their true character be stated. and any
Misrepresentation be severely punished.
Finally. the subject OF the mortgage

consideration. The relationship of owner,
mortgage broker, attorney title company
and lender is to be carefully considered
and code OF ethics Incorporated In the
code adopted by the Real Estate Board.
This code Of ethics should be riSidly en-
forced by the board, and IL it is found
that It's power is not sufficient properly
to enforce 1t, then IL is felt that IL will
