IN BOWLING BILL
TO MAKE IT STICK
Objections of Landlords Met
by Allowing Them "Op-
ating Expenses"
PROPOSE 6 IL TO 8 P. c.
Even With This Liberal Al
lowance Tax Revenue
Would Be Increased.

Objections to the rent bill pre-
pared by Senator Edward ]. Bowling
for the special session Of the Legis-
lature called by Gov. Smith Sept. 20,
VIII be answered by the addition to
the bill Of a clause setting a stand
ard allowance for operating expense
Of apartment properties. L.
This allowance, probably between
81 and 8 per cent, will be to cover
all operating expenses except mort
gage interest, which is not properly
an item Of upkeep. Government
statistics and the experience tables
Of men who have spent years in the
tenement house business will form
the basis for the allowance. Land
lords will be given a hearing IL they
disagree with the figures.
"A standard allowance will dispose
OF one Of the most irritating factors
in landlord and tenement disputes"
Senator Bowling said last evening
while answering scores of comnuni-
cations resulting from the publica-
ton OF his proposed bill in The Eve
ming World.

PUT IN TO AVOID EM6ARRAs-
SING LITIGATION.

''In most Of the disputes the land
lord gives high xpenses as his ex-
cuse for raising rents. Tho tenants
complain the rents are extortionate.
The landlord says they are not high
enough and boosts them again. The
landlord has the figures and knows
the operating costs. The tenants have
no figures and cannot know the facts.
The case gets into court. The land
lord presents his figures. The JUS
tice decides the case. No matter how
he decides it. another Justice sitting
in the next district may be deciding
the same kind Of a case in a different
way.
"By fixing a definite percentage and
providing a definite method of estab-
fishing value, we can establish a defl-
mite method for deciding what may
be presumed fair. If either landlords
or tenants feel that special circum-
stances create a condition in which
the presumption is not fair. they can
get special relief from the courts.
This is the way the law is intend
cd to work. Take for example, a
building assessed at $SS,5OO, which
shelters forty families. The actual
value would be presumed to he % per
cent. more than the assessed value,
because tax values are almost always
a few rteps behind the actual in
creases. This would set the actual
value at 100000. The landlord would
be entitled to ~ per cent. net return

than this, the courts, under the law
would be forbidden to put the tenants
out for refusing to pay the excessive

Over a year age i'm the fall of 19l8-we saw this
tractor near Milwaukee, blowing in raw sod; gummy
clay. Ihe tractor was pulling it's load SO beautifully that
we were certain the Engineering department was ready
to place it's O. K. on this machine.
We'll try it out another year. If itkeeps up it's good
work, it will then be put on the market That was
their answer, and it made no difference whether we Of
fered to buy 500 or 5000.
About two months ago w received a letter from
the factory stating that the Engineers had all pronounce
special tractor plant with a capacity Of 200 every ~
hours; and this plant equipped with such marvellous All
tomato machinery that they were able to market this
4-plow tractor at the retail price of 81 ,885, TO- b. factory

Three years ago we first saw this new type Alis-
Chalmers four cylinder motor in a shop test!
That particular motor was not as large as the present
engine, but it had no trouble in registering Forty Horse
power any time the engineer cared to apply the pressure.
We readily saw the enormous possibilities Of the
coming Allis-Chalmers 4-Cylnder, 4-plow tractor, and
hoped that some time late i'm 1917 or early in. 1918, the
factory would have this. tractor developed so that it
would receive the unanimous O. K. OF their engineering
staff.
Late lnI9l7 we offered to buy l0Q OF these tractors
for 1918 delivery. if the factory would assure us Of pro-
duction. Allis-Cha1nners engineers were not ready to
give it their final approval.

A Word to Dealers

You, MR. DEALER can see this ALLIS-CHALMERS

ton; and for your further information, we can submit a
dealers contract that will make you reach for your
pencil.
If you are the man to represent ALLlS-cHALMERS
in your locality be prepared to do business when you see
this tractor--and the dealers contract that goes with it.

The lowest priced 4-plow tractor put out by any,
we'll known manufacturer.
Just a few dollars higher than most 3-plow tractors;
and as much as $500 lower than several 4-pow machines

''Y" GIRLSTOLD

Newark Woman.

Newark. n. J.. Jan. 1s.-"When a
girl fiirts with a man she doesn't
always want to marry him; she just
wants to make him propose"
This was one of the epigrams de-
livered by Miss Louise Connolly, ed
ucational expert OF the Newark Pub
lie Library, to the Y. W. c. A. here,
in what she called a ''fireside talk
on Mating. or How to Get Them"
IF you don't get married, you may
become all sorts OF a genius" Miss
Connolly said. for the sex instinct
is a creative instinct that may burst
out in literature or art"
Some women are instructive
When an instructive woman sees q
man she wants to marry she knows
it. She just envelope and digest'
him without nervousness or erhbar'
rassment. He marries her. and nevcl
knows how it happened. Blessed il

have any trouble with her love az
