LICENSE REAL ESTATE DEALERS

Bismarck. N. D.. Jan. l9.-+After the
close Of the present legislative ses-
sion it may be necessary to have a
license to sell real estate in North Da-
kota. That plan i. now being agitated
by those interested in providing an
Immigration fund and in the elimina-
ton of undesirables from the list oi
land sellers.
THE plan should prove a winner, -
said one of the men advocating the
plan. Under the present financial
conditions in this state it cannot be
expected that any large sum can be
appropriated by the legislature for
immigration purposes. as badly as i'm
migrations are needed for the settle
ment and the developement of the
state. We propose to license every
realty man and estimate revenue
from this source of 100000 to $25.-
900. Now if the state can apprcpri-
ate about $25,000, we can add the
license fund to this and use the total
for securing more people for this
state.
"One plan suggested is to have an
executive committee composed Of the
governor, the commissioner Of agri-
culture and the attorney general and
the president and secretary of the
state immigration association. This
committee can select an immigration
commissioner who will do the work un-
der the committees direction. and we
believe enormous benefits can be
derived that will prove very helpful
in securing new settlers for the state.
Another feature about this license
plan would be that there would be
certain regulations regarding the
eligibility of man before he could
be licensed and penalty against
those selling lands without having
secured licenses.In this way we could
exclude those notoriously fraudulent.
place the realty business on safer
and sounder foundation and prevent
the frauds that are occasionly per-
petrated on unsuspecting homeseek-
ers. OF course there would be moth
ing in the law preventing any man
from selling his own lands without a
license.
Il believe he concluded. the plan
will have the endorsement of every
legitimate realty man in the state.
There is to be an immigration meet
ing at Bismarck tomorrow when this
matter will be presented fully and
feel confident the legislature will
readily pass a measure along the
lines outlined. carrying with it an
appropriation Of $25. .000.

Be who would say so. until he had tried.
So he buckled right in, with trace of grin

He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be DONE and he did it.
Somebody said 20, you'll never do that
At least, nobody ever has done it,
But he took off his coat, and took off his hat,
And the first we knew, he'd begun it.
With lift of his chin, and bit of grin,
Without any doubling quitting,
He started to sing and he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it,
There thousands to tell you it cannot be done,
There thousands to prophecy failure
There thousands to point out one by one
The dangers that await to assa you
But just buckle in with trace of grin,
Take off your coat and go to it.

That cannot be done, and you'll do it.
