Not man or woman familiar with raising
money for charity public enterprise but
knows that the amount sought is three or four
times tAe total finally raised.-From Henry l..
stoddards signed column in the Evening Mail.
Mr.. Stoddard's comment on the Boys, get the
money! campaign has humor all its own.
Mr. Stoddard seems to 90 on the assumption
that the Republican campaign fund is for "charity
or pubIic enterprise"
Mr. John Kirby jr. of Dayton was wiser when
he wrote, "ThiS is purely business mans move
ment."
When Chicago's business men bid for the Re-
publican National Convention they did not propose
a certain sum and then collect third or quarter.
On the contrary the business interests that hoped
to benefit by the convention collected and paid 100
cents on the dollar.
Nor was that all When these Chicago tNIsiness
men put up the money they knew exactly what
they were doing They knew that political dele
gates and visitors would spend money. They ex-
peded to get back their money UHh profit.
The task of the collector for such fund is conf
paratively simple. II is only necessary to do like
Kelley did: get the right man to see the right
people"
"Charity and public enterprise" are one sort of
thing Business is something else again.
If the amount sought for charity or public enter
prise is three or four times the total finally raised
what does Mr.. Stoddard think of Boston, which,
according to the official bulletin of the Republican
Treasury, wills to contribute more than $50 per
cent of its original quota"
Was ii charity? Or business?

All BadH
To TIM Editor Of The Evening World;
Are there any decent landlords In
New York?
Municipal Court rooms crowded
with desperate wretches trying to
keep roofs over the heads OF their
families and newspaper columns
filed with accounts of extortion would
indicate there Is only one class OF
landlords. and that an undesirable
one.
If being a landlord makes a subtle
change in mans nature and
changes him into a devil, the only
solution of the problem is to abolish
private ownership of multiple dwell
ings. If there Is such a thing as a
good landlord, there is still hope OF
solving our problem-emergency laws.
Can't you let your readers know II
there are good landlords In New
York? It would be interesting infor-
nation and would be a rebuke TO the
bad ones. TENANT.

.itor Of The Erening World /:

To the Editor OF The Evening Norld'
We were very much interested in
reading in your columns last night
the proposed bill of Senator Bowling
in regard to rent legislation. On
first glance and without seeing the
complete workings of the bill, II
seems to us a much more fair regu-
lation than the vague laws now in
force.
However, in spite OF what Senator
Dowlings partner, Mr.. j. j. AleXan-
der, states, it is our humble opinion
that all these laws restrictive against
real estate are unconstitutional. IL Is
our further opinion that they defeat
their very purpose and only tend tC
| aggraVate the situation and prolong
the shortage.
The real remedy Is TO make the
supply more equal to the demand
! This can be accomplished only by
| giving real estate the greatest en-
| couragement, by making the field at
tractiVe TO builders.
The present laws and even Senate,
Duwlngs suggestion turn capita
away from real estate and hav'
brought building construction to
comparative standstill. 1t Is uncer
tainty OF the proposition and tn
principle involved, not so much tn
restriction on profits, that cause tn
greatest hesitation in the minds o
builders and investors.
II laws can be enacted agains
rents this year, new ones can be en-
acted next year, and 80 the mos
courageous builder will not take tn
chance with so many adverse condi
tions against him. We believe II LED
alone the remedy woulG come ia
more quickly than under restrictions
High, attractive rents will bring me-
houses more quickly than anythin
else, and then and only then wi
rents come down.
Senator Dowling's bill Is by far IN
lesser OF the two evils as compare
to the new laws, 1t viii compel n
"gouger" to reduce his rents instea
OF allowing him to add rs per cen
more, and It will allow the moderai
landlord TO advance his rent reason
Glbly However, a net return OF
per cent. haSed upon the assessC
The evening world., 1920-08-30

valuation plus 20 per cent. will have
its difficulties.
The up-keep and depreciation Of an
old house are far greater than those
Of a new one and its rental value Is
greatly lower, and yet under Senator
Dowling's bill the old house must
charge higher rent to meet the higher
expenses and greater depreciation.
Then, again, a good floor plan and
decorations in good taste, though
costing no moro than poor ones, al
ways bring a high rent.
With the new bill the rents will be
the same in each case. There Will
also be a great deal OF difficulty in
apportioning the rentals to the vart-
GUS apartments, and apartments al
ready under lease at low rentals will
, complicate this difficulty. And last,
but not least, the assessed valuation
of a piece OF property Is by no means
criterion of its real value. Land
/ lords who have installed at great eN-
| pense attractive features which the
assessors have overlooked and have
been allowed to overlook, win lose
heavily by the percentage based on
an assessed valuation.
In conclusion, we believe that great
hardships, both to tenants and land
lords will result under the present
at once to clarity many of their
vague points. Tenants interpret these
laws to suit their convenience and
often on the bad advice of scheming
lawyers. We have also found that
even reputable lawyers are at sea as
to the Interpretation of these laws
and many representative firms have
advised their clients in absoluteiy
different ways on the same point.
Even in the case Of a cooperative
plan where the Municipal Court JUS
tees have made certain rulings, the
old tenants are badly advised by
the cases where tenants were notified
in January that the house in which
they live was to be sold on the CO.
operative plan, and although theii
apartments have been sold 10 stock
holder tenants, they refuse to vacatt
? when their leases expire.
If the newspapers and the real es
, tate interests and also the legisla.
ors would only make the tenants
realize that the law Is not entirely
; on their side and the landlords ever
! now have some rights, a great dea
! of trouble and confusion would b.
T avoided. We urge most earnestly
that definite enlightenment be giveI
I forthwith, otherwise Oct. and there
abouts win prove a great hardship
I for thousands of tenants.

LIVE COUNTY AGENTS

A. H. Ward, Darlington county.
Last Saturday about ten Of the dairy
men in the county met with me and
organized the Darlington Breeders
association. This organization pur-
poses to further the idea of pure
bred cattle in the county. 1t is hoped
to make Darlington eplace where
pure bred live stock can be obtained
easily. This is especially true of the
Guernsey cow, due to the fact that
number of the best breeders in the
state are located in the county.
T. A. Bowen, Pickens county. Much
interest is being shown now IN the
cotton warehouse system and plans
are on foot now to build warehouse
at the leading cotton markets in the
county.
T. M. Mills, Newbery county. The
land had dried enough for the farm
ers to get out and repair the rural
cooperative telephone lines which had
been badly wrecked by the freeze of
January 26 and 27. Fifty to rs far
mers met and all worked together re-
pairing the lines-a pretty example
Of cooperative work.
I F. W. Risher, Colleton county. So
far we have sold through our new
market association so tons Of White
Spanish peanuts for seed, so it seems
like Colleton will plant something be-
sides cotton.

ENGINES COLLIDE
NEAR CHARLESTON
Two Southern Railway Trains in
Smashup-No Fatal Injuries.

The State.
Charleston, Feb. 21.-Twenty-four
passengers and eight railway men
were injured in headon collision this
morning between Southern Railway
trains Nos. 16, from Columbia, and 13
from Charleston, which came togeth-
er at Bennetts about six miles from
this city. No fatalities resulted,
most of the injuries received being
of minor character. The two loco
motives were practically demolished,
and the enginemen had narrow
escape from death, as the cabs were
mashed fiat by the impact. They
jumped in time, after putting on
brakes and reversing their engines
The collision occurred through some
misunderstanding not yet officially
cleared up.
There were about $50 passengers
on the two trains. All were severely
jolted, but the "a listed as injured,
none is apparently seriously hurt.
Engineers W. P. Sullivan of No. 16,
and Eugene Conlon of No. 13, Con-
ductor Tickling and Kennedy, and
Engineer O'Brien of the A. c. L., who
was on the train, were sent to Roper
hospital for treatment, while two por-
ters and an A. c., L. Inspector, ). II.

homes. All are of Charleston, it is

sengers found it Necessary to go to

ed. The passengers of beth trains
and trainmen were brough- to Char

train No. IS, which came along soon
after the accident. Work of clearing
the track was begun promptly, and
the two trains will resume operation
by tomorrow. Another track at this
point enabled general traffic over the
Southern to be handled as usual.

HERO OF NORTH POLE
CLAIMED BY DEATH
Secretary Daniels Pays Tribute to
Achievements of Noted Naval
D. Officer.

Washington, Feb. 20.-Rear Ad-
miral Robert E. Peary, retired, dis
coverer of the North Pole, died at his
home here early today after two
years illness of pernicious anemia,
during which thirty-five blood trans
fusions had been of no avail. Sailors
attaches of the naval hospital and
many ex-service men gave of their
life's blood during that period in the
vain effort to prolong the life of the
country's foremost explorer.
It has been known to the explorers
family for weeks, but kept from the
public, that his life was despaired of,
but no one thought the end so near
and his sudden death was unexpected.
He probably will be buried in Airing
ton National Cemetery with the full
naval honors Of his rank.
Tribute to the achievements Of Ad-
miral Peary was paid by Secretary
Daniels today in the following mes
sage of sympathy to Mrs. Peary:
"Versing the sentiment Of the
whole navy, / desire to express deep
sympathy in your bereavement. If any
earthly comfort can help you in this
hour it must be the assurance that
the whole country sorrows with you
and that all over the world there will
be profound regret at the death OF
your distinguished husband. He had
the honor to accomplish the reahza-
ton of great ambition and to re-
ceive the plaudits of all nations. His
great achievement brought particular
distinction to the American navy OF
which he was an honored and distin-
guished officer"

States might have to decide whether
it could become party to the treaty
of Versailles and the Anglo-French-
American pact.
The note received from the coun-
ell yesterday was sent to the white
house Immediately after it was de-
coded and the president studied it
very carefully during the afternoon
and evening. When he was ready to
begin work today he was understood
to have had his reply we'll outlined in
his mind and consequently was able
to dictate it in short time.
The president was represented as
being perfectly willing for the ex-
changes to be given to the public at
ter he had completed his case"
which was done with the drafting of
the note today. However, no de-
cision as to making the communica-
tions public will be reached until
the allied premiers have been heard
from. They have been approached
as to their wishes.
The allied note received yesterday
is "about as long as the presidents
first note," it was said at the white
house. Reports from London said
the allied reply contained about
1000 words, and this figure was ac-
cepted by white house officials as
being approximately correct.
The European View.
Cable dispatches indicated the re-
ply was conciliatory and that the
whole question Of Fiume and the
Dalmatian littoral was at least re-
opened to negotiation. There was a
suggestion also that the allied pre-.
miers had asked the United States to
indicate the practical steps that could
be taken to carry out the original
agreement as to the Adriatic, under
which Fiume was to be erected into
free state under the league of ma
tions and the principle Of self-deter-
mination followed in disposing Of the
Dalmatian coast. It was said to be
the European view that the seizure
of Fiume by d'Annunzio and his
Italian troops had brought about such
delicate situation that any attempt
to restore the status quo might bring
about more war.
President Wilson, it was learned,
has taken the position that this coun-
try is interested in the Adriatic set
tlement as co-belligerent in the war,
despite the fact that the treaty of
Versailles has not been ratified here.
On similar questions, such as those
affecting Armenia and Turkey, this
country likewise is prepared to keep
in close touch with decisions reached
by the premiers at their London con-
ferences at which the United States
is not represented. All such decisions
have to be approved by the supreme
council in Paris, meetings of which
probably will be attended in future
by an American representative to
keep this government in quick. touch
with what is going on.
