wrote verse vOuminously, but not as
successfully as he wrote his numerous
scientific treatises.
Marco Antonio de Dominis, another
Dalmatian of public note, mingled the
ology and natural philosophy with
serious consequences to himself. He.

career was less fruitful AS archbishop

turned to Rome, then did penance by
writing a book refuting his heretical
works. He was tried. but died before

he was sentenced to be dragged

burned publicly. His body. was re-

a bouquet of white roses. The brides

Real Estate
Activities In
Capital City
Demand for Rental Property.

Topeka is badly in need of rental
property, according to J. l. Hersh, as
sistant secretary of the Capitol Build
ing & Loan association.
During the week we had an apart
ment empty" says Hersh, "and for
this apartment there were a dozen
calls to rent it. People saw the ad
in the paper and would call as long as
q week later, after the place was
rented. This demonstrates the fact
that the committee of the Chamber
of Commerce that has been working
on a building campaign for the pur-
pose of putting up houses for sale are
absolutely working on the wrong basis
and theory. 1t would seem that these
people would talk to the Realtors and
ask their advice as there is no insur-
ance or business man in the city who
knows the real estate situation as
well as the Realtors do. 1t would be
well for the Chamber of Commerce
and their committee to hold an open
meeting with Realtors where this mat
ter could be discussed and the census
of the opinions Of the Realtors taken
instead OF taking the opinions of men
from other cities as they are not
familiar with the situation in Topeka"
THE Realtors, or real estate men,"
says Hersh, have organized for the
purpose of promoting clean salesman

vacant Houses Held for Sale.

Vacant Houses Held for Sale.
That there are many houses vacant
in Topeka that could not be rented at
any price, was a statement made to-
day by w. A. Neiswanger, local Real
tor.
while many persons were Voicing
strenuous objections to this practice
there were a large number of cases in
which it was the most eXpedient thing
to do. He points to several instances
of Topeka citizens leaving the city to
any city in the United States they
are at once confronted with the diff
cult housing situation eXistant in To-
pelSa. Excessively high rents and the
impessibility of finding anything to
rent made the purchase of home
imperative.
Needing the money to puschase
homes in other places, it was abso-
lutely necessary that their old prop
erty in Topeka be sold soon as
possible. In many cases, Neiswahger
says. owners have sustained consider
able sacrifice from the present rates
of the real estate market in order to
get the cash at once. .
Still there are many residences in
Topeka being held for sale alone, in
point the Topeka real estate market
has reached. Persons owning these
places consistently refuse to rent them
at any figure, preferring not to have
the possibility of successful sale hurt
by the encumbrance of a lease.
Neiswanger urges that citizens
handle their real estate transactions
thru reliable real estate dealers. He
points out that in every instance the
client usually receives more money on
his Investment thru placing it in the
hand of dealer than he does If he at
faf7aptS IN haudle if himself The deal
ers have a much more intensive
knowledge of values and know what
it would be possible to bring in and
what would be prohibitively excessive.
Real estate constitutes an enormous
proportion of the wealth of any COM
munity, Neiswanger says, and the real
estate men are the only ones who
make q careful and thoro study of the
basic conditions and the various ele-
ments that enter into the sale and
rental values of real estate. They study
the arteries of traffic, the eengested
districts, the transportation facilities
and the numerous other things that
bear directly or indirectly on realty
values, so they are in possession of
the only available source of scientific
knowledge concerning real estate.
Loan $175,OOO:
Either there was a terrible slump in
the real estate business in Topeka last
week or Realtors have ceased to care
whether or not they place before the
citizens of Topeka a birds-eye view OF
activities in the business.
Transactions reported at. the office
of Secretary Tuer this week totalled
$4,000. City property sales were re-
ported at $4,000. The farm property
transactions amounted to only $1,000.
Private loans and loans made by mort
gage companies totalled $4,000.

yer is. at its prettiest in September
Those who have been there before
will be glad to see the Mile High city
in her autumn finery, and those who
have never been there will, of course,
be charmed with the mountain seen
cry and the enterprise of the city.
Denver, herself, in seconding the in
vitation to attend the conference re-
veals her generous hospitality. In his
letter to Realtors. L. r. Eppich, chair
man of the executive meeting COM
mittee of the Denver real estate ex-
change, says: There will also be
forms of entertainment provided, for
the old adage, All work and no play
makes Jack a dull boy still holds
good, and this part of the meeting
will complement the other. We have
a wonderland in the grand old Rock
les, and the arrangements have been
made for trips that will be particu-
larry alluring,'
Harry w. Newcomb. also a member
of the Denver committee, says: Sep
TENDER is one of the most beautiful
months to visit Colorado. President
Taylor has promised that the COM
mittee shall have time for recreation
as well as business. We hope that
you will find it convenient to stay
over Friday. September "A. when we
will try and arrange to take the COM
mittee to Colorado Springs and Mani
tou."

and to eventually adopt laws and have
them passed in this state governing
sales, commissions, etc, which will
be to the public's advantage and to
set the public away from the situation
of having some man who got a verbal
listing of the property and the prop
erty being sold by some one else,
comes in and tries to compel the seller
to pay him a commission when .he had
nothing to do with the sale"
1T would be well for the public to
consider this matter and to deal with
Realtors or the men who belong to the
Topeka Real Estate association, and
help this association to bring truthful
ness in advertising and cleanness to
the public, and it will be to the pub
lies benefit rather than to the real
estate mans profit. Eventually this
will put the real estate man in better
light with the public than he has been
in the past. The real estate man is a
servant to the public. His business is
to locate a house and then locate the
buyer and get the buyer and the seller
together. His business is a legitimate
business. 1t is the aim of the real
estate association to pledge all their
members to do clean business and look
to the public welfare"
Commission Rate Charges.
The charges adopted by the real
estate men, Hersh says, are 5 per cent
on the first thousand and ~ per cent
on the balance of the sale price. In
other cities he says, the rate is con-
slderably higher than it is in Topeka.
Property to Go Higher.
Property. according to the present
condition and reports" Hersh says, lis
going to sell more readily than it is
now and prices are going higher.
Rents at the present time are on
normal level but will get higher as
the winter comes on. Rents must

pays 81 on every 500 price or valua-
ton of the property. As soon as this
point is reached, rent property will
attract investors and building will
probably be commenced in order to
help out the present situation"
The Capitol Building & Loan asso-
citation made twenty loans last week,
amounting to $44,576. During the
week there were innumerable calls for
property for sale with a few hundred
dollars down and the balance month
ly. The prospects are able to pay
good monthly payment but there is
very little of this property on the mar
ket at this time. If property was SELL
ing On terms of this sort, it would
have a very ready sale.
