The Rental Situation
Bv RONALD S. O'NEILL.

An annoying if not dangerous rental situation exists in
Washington Today the Ball rent law unconstitutional and
its child the Rent Commission has legal standing Yet the
child continues live without anyone to restrain sanction
its actions.
Final Judgment rests with the Supreme Court This court
will not reconvene until fall and decision be had until
then The Rent Commission has taken the stand it will
function until stopped by the Supreme Court The local courts
have taken the position that the commission without author
y and they are conducting rent without reference to
the existence of the commission.
The property tenant is and must remain,
fused He to the courts and obtain kind of relief
or 20 to the Commission and obtain another Contend
ing parties can each get verdict their favor-one from
the commission the other from the courts And will
know and no find out until fall, which verdict will
stand !
When Congress began to regulate rental conditions in
Washington the outset of the wa-when began its at
tempt regulate the natural laws of supply and demand in
Washington- certainly began then to make paythng
a toy of Washington tenants and property alike
Is any wonder after two years. that the toys in such bat
tered and wom-out condition?
Hanging the back of most of the real estate Of
fees in Washington college diplomas attesting that
member of the firm is entitled to practice law These firms
should dust off these certificates and hang the words
Rea Estate in their front windows The ensuing six months
should be especially good for lawyers in Washington.
Of what value is decision of the Rent Commission
When appealed the the will take no notice of
the commissions findings the Ball law. For them there is
Ball law What certainty has that decision the
is permanent If the Supreme Court declares the Ball
law constitutional decisions the contrary must fall
1t is regretable situation. Congress acted in good faith
intentions good and completely paved Washington
with those intentions SO far is known there just two

The cooperation of rural mail car

Gently by one of the deputy fire mar
