CLAIMS LANDLORDS
DON'T GET JUSTICE
Laws to Protect Them From
"Profiteering Tenants" Urg-
ed by ReaItor.

Peal estate Is the last of all invest
ments to respond To rising or fall
ing market according TO Victor NJ.
ernors. OF the Real Estate Investors
OF New York, Inc. In the rising
market that started just prior to this
country's entry into the war real
estate did not advance until almost a
year and half after other COM
modities started upon the upward
trend. Labor, food. clothing. &c,
started to jump in price almost three
years ago and continued to do so up
TO the immediate present. The public
became weary by these increases, al
though IT submitted TO them with
astonishing Indifference. But when
rents were increased, due primarily
to the increased cost of labor
material. taxes, coal. &c, the public
awoke with an alarming suddenness
and condemned landlords where they
had spared others. II rents had been
raised along with all other COM
modIties the land owner would not
have been the target OF public dis
approval.
The tenants became so indignant at
the raising of rents and their cause
was such popular one That an un-
warranted panic over the shortage OF
apartments was created. and the
recent rent laws were passed, based
upon an emergency. The tenants had
wonderful mouthpiece in certain
newspapers and certain appointed
groups, who were catering to the
''preponderant public sentiment" as
Judge Giegerich expressed it. Why
should the sentiment not be pre-
ponderant, and that is about the pro-
portion OF tenants to landlords. II
takes courage to give justice TO one
against the thirty, and II Is re-
grettable that few before whom the
landlords case comes have this
courage.
There is absolutely no doubt that
a shortage of cheap apartments ex-
listed throughout the country. There
Is absolutely no doubt that some re-
s'rictions should have been placed
upon the many greedy landlords. The
rent laws of September accomplished
two purposes-flrst, they prevented
wholesale eviCtions on October |, and
secondly. they have taught tho greedy,
aggressive landlord serious lesson.
They have, however. defeated their
own purpose in that they have not
created single new dwelling. In

CHURCH TAKES OFFER
OF BIG SKYSCRAPER

One year ago c. Il. Graham. a
wealthy cotton manufacturer OF Flor
ida. made a proposition to the min
isterlal relief board OF the Southern
Presbyterian Church of Louisville to
the effect that he would sell his six
teen-story Graham office and bank
building at Jack sonyille, Fla. to II
for 100000. provided 1t could raise
that amount in subscriptions by De-
cember I.
Last week the Rev. Dr. d. IL.
Sweets, secretary of the ministerial
relief, announced that the amount
had been oversubscribed by 100000
and was prepared to consummate the
purchase. The structure. one OF the
largest in Florida. Is valued at ST.
TOO, 900. but cost Mr.. Graham only
500. 900. he having purchased It when
the bank which owned 1t failed. II
cost nearly 100000 to build more
than nine years ago. The rentals
will mean $1,000 month for minis
terial relief in the church.

TIE experience OF a certain builder
in the Flatbush section OF Brooklyn
rlay throw some light on the con-
tinued Indifference OF the speculative
builder to the cry for more homes.
About a year ago this man started
the construction of five buildings.
Prices for everything that weht into
home construction had reached their
peak. Brick cost him $32 thous\ nd.
The houses were we'll CONSTRUCTED
and modern in every detail.
When the builder figured up TN
cost ne found 1t necessary to ASA
x2l, 900 each for the houses in order
to make a reasonable pront. His
lad" brought hundreds OF inquiries.
but not a single applicant was will
ing to pay price that would cover
the actual cost. When he ofers 10
sell at cost the prospective buyer
reminds him OF the recent drop In
material prices and wages and points
to the probability OF a further de-
crease. This builder makes no Sc
cret of the fact that IL he ever gets
his money out OF his housing ven
ture he'll lay low until building
costs have become stabilized.
