The Rent Hearings

The joint legislative committee on
housing will begin to-day to take tes-
timony regarding the working of the
rent laws. This investigation may
do much good in the way of dispell-
ing the misunderstanding of the pur-
poses of the law into which many
landlords have fallen.
The landlords have thought of the
new laws chiefly as unfair restric-
lions on their right to charge all that
the traffic will bear. They overlook
the fact that in the midst of great
housing shortage community welfare
would be threatened by an unlimited
operation of the law Of supply and
demand. The state has therefore
stepped in. 1t has passed rent laws
intended to stabilize tenancy. Ten
ants are not animals and cannot be
turned into the streets arbitrarily
without serious consequences to pub
lie health and order. The Legis-
lature is making a judicious use of
the police power to tide this city
through dangerous crisis.
Landlords have been advised that
the new laws put no absolute prohi-
bition on rent increases exceeding rs
per cent. They don't. But Is per
cent is mentioned in the law as the
figure beyond which the landlord
seeking dispossess warrant will be
required to show that his charges
are reasonable. Many landlords are
raising rents 60, rs, 80 and 100 per
cent. They claim that such in
creases are reasonable because new
applicants for housing are willing to
pay these advanced rates. The land
lords say to the tenants in possess
sion: "Others are willing to pay rs
per cent or 100 per cent more than
you are paying. You must therefore
give me my figure or get out"
The rent laws were passed to keep
tenants in, not to aid in getting them
out. They were meant to guarantee
a tenant in possession protection
against custer for the benefit of
competing applicant. Assemblyman
McWhinney, of Nassau County, APP
pearing before the legislative COM
mittee informally last week, COM
planned of the injustice" of not per-
hitting a landlord to jockey his ten
ants out by telling them he could
get "blue sky" rentals from people
ready to take their places.
Yet it is evident that the purposes
Of the new laws would be nullified if
a court should use the terms exacted
from new tenant as measure of
reasonable increase for the old ten
ants, or would permit an old tenant
to be dispossessed simply because the
landlord had made contract with a
tenant-to-be. A municipal court ius-
tice in Brooklyn held very logically
the other day that the law, in order
to produce the results it aims at.
must protect all classes of tenants
equally, and that rent contracts at
unreasonable rates with new tenants
may be contested by them as soon as
they get into possession. What the
state wants. is to minimize habita-
ton shifts until the present crisis is
over.
The wise thing for landlords to do
is to bow to the laws and to the
emergency which justifies them.
That means Offering old tenants new
leases at reasonable rates. II all in

creases Of more than rs per cent are
fought the power of the state will
probably be exerted to sustain the
renters in possession. Otherwise
next October would probably see
evictions, disorder and suffering ON a
scale discrediting the city's capacity
for seIf-government.

Down in Buenos Ayres they are citing
the United States as horrible example
OF what prohibition can do to country
1t appears-down there-that it has
made lawbreakers out of millions OF
men who were formerly honored and
respected and has turned the nation
over to the practice of secret vice. The
principal business Of the country is
bootlegging, and Uncle Sam is going
into bankruptcy for want of the reve.

The Candidates on Suffrage

The Candidates on Suffrage
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The National Woman's Party
has declared against Senator Harding
and for Governor Cox for President
because, in their words, Senator Hard
ing was evasive and -committal on
suffrage until 1918, while Governor
Cox always was it's friend and did
whatever he could to help the cause"
AS one who was closely concerned
with the stand of both of these men
the three years previous to that time,
am interested in their position being
stated fairy. M "a 10
Senator Harding was never evasive
on suffrage. If he had been so to any
one he would have been to those of rs
who disagreed with him on it. His
position was never disguised in the
several talks l had with him on the
subject If his stand on the Federal
amendment could be called non-com-
initial it was honestly so. His posi-
ticn was always openly stated.
~ am in favor of suffrage" he said,
long, long before 1918, "and should al
ways vote for it as state matter.
en- not as yet ready to say how I shall
vote on the Federal amendment. There
is more to that than the question of
suffrage, and l intend to go into u
thoroughly before announcing a de-
clsion."
Maybe that was non committal. 1t
certainly was not evasive. And | can
assure the members of the National
Woman's Party that he never held out
any encouragement to those who asked
him to vote No.
On the other hand, every man close
to Governor Cox believed firmly that
he was against suffrage He was
known throughout the State of Ohio
as being opposed. Perhaps he never
said so definitely. But he certainly
did bit of super-evasiveness if the
National Woman's Party believed him
to be on their side as firmly as the
ants did that his sympathy was theirs.
Inc first word that he spoke publicly
or in any way openly in favor of
woman suffrage was when he came OUT
for the Reynolds Presidential suffrage
bill in the spring of 1917.
| was in disagreement with Senator
Harding at that time, but now, even
though the issue is past, I am glad to
be able to support candidate for tba
Presidency whose position on every
matter before the country has been
as honest and unequivocal as it was
Oh that of woman suffrage

Troy, October 19.-( (Special)-The base ball fans in Troy are, much interested in viewing a baseball used in the last worlds series game
 The ball was sent to Glen Crouch, owner of the Princess theatre, by Mar tin C. IFolmar. who is now in Canada, where he is manager of big life in- surance company.

 Working His ELeUen Hard
By LESLIE l.. GILBERT

Auburn, October 19.-(Spe- cial. )-Coach Mike Donahue and his two assistants, Boozer Pitts and Carey Robinson, are putting the Auburn Tigers through hard practice this week, in anticipation of the clash with Vandy on Saturday.
 While Monday the practice was light, running signals, etc. as is the custom after regular game the first day the work on Tuesday was gruel- ing. Donahue believes in doing wha; is to be done right and when he finishes with a team, there is nothing slovenly to be noted in it's action.
 He had carried the team up anG down the field seven or eight times today when darkness intervened. but stin he kept at work.
 He is taking nothing for granted an6 will not let down in practice because vandy proved an easy victim to Techs superior pldylng. Ndndy haS hablt after defeat of coming back with signal success. and Auburn is right on tiptoe preparing to meet every pos sible emergency. Every day there will be scrimmage with the scrubs, and a correction of such errors as were noted in the Clemson game.
 Authority has just been granted fo1 taking the Auburn college band to this game and their presence, thirty strong will add inspiration and pep to tn game. There will also be libera sprinkling of those students who wil' choose to attend this game rather than the one with Washington and Lee ir Birmingham or Birmingham Southern in Montgomery.
 Students may attend three games in all outside of Auburn during the sea son. Tech in Atlanta gets an unanimous vote. Usually the Columbus game with the University of Georgia is next or their list while Vandy probably gets majority of what is left on the schedule This year will be no exception, as the students expect the Tigers to win, oi course

Boo Allen To' Fight Against John Martin
By JOHN L. SULLIVAN

New Orleans, October 19.-(Special)- Baseball fans can safely look farther than the major controversy for the re- organization of governing body to cor trol the sport during the winter season. The big splash in these parts is scheduled for December l5 when southern moguls assemble for the annual meeting in Memphis
 The tamest subject to be tackled is the reelection of John D. Martin, president of the league. The vote, according to those in touch with the situation, will be to 3.
 Bob Allen, owner of the Litte Rock club, in all probability will lead the fight against re-electing Martin. The Traveller magnate, however, is said to be aware of the fact that he will finish sec ond, but is going to fight just the same.
 Most of the argument to be heard will be the calling upon all for proof of the unwarranted criticism of President Mar tin, in which it is charged that the league executive blocked the Litte Rock Fort Worth series. when, as a. matter of fact, Aliens failure to vote killed the chance of the league sanctioning the games.
 Unlike every fight among the mag mates, the present one is going to oe just a wee bit different. The difference IS that Charley Frank, Atlanta nogul, will not engage in the hostilities. It is understood that Frank will not even at tend session, but will be represented by sammy Mayer or not at all
 Mayer was in New Orleans day or two ago and dropped the hint that neither Frank nor the Atlanta club IS going to take sides in the fight
 Frank takes the stand" Mayer said. that if they want to fight, let them go to it; he has no interest in the squab- ble, and so far as increasing the player and salary limits, he can stand it as well, if not better, than anyone else
 Some interesting announcements may be made at the meeting. One of them IS the probably installation of Tommy Me Milan as successor to Bob Coleman, manager of the Mobile club. z Freddie Graft, manager of the Chattanooga club, may become a magnate at the session. Reports from Chattanooga have it that he is dickerng with Nicklin, Andrews and Patten in this to purchase the con- trolling interest of the Lookouts and that Nicklin will return to West Point as coach of the baseball squad
 Almost every Southern League club will be represented at the annual meeting of the National Association of Min ! Leagues at Kansas City the first week | in November, and that the session Is ! expected to find most of the moguls pur- l chasing material for the 1921 season.
