consideration to the changing Of
values, and in doing SO We must
consider those outside influences
which are bringing these changes
about.
"Inasmuch as 1 am directing at
tention to falling values, It might
be well to consider. FIRST, the causes
Of their unusual rise. for obviously
those prices will fall which rose
the highest and fastest. For, after
all, the fall is due to the elimina-
ton of the cause of the rise.
Generally, we say that II was
the war, but that is too general. It
was not the war Itself. but the re-
suits Of the war. II II had been the
war, dehation would have come with
rehabilitation. But II did not.
Real estate values are caused by
the law of supply and demand and
the cost of production. We have a
smaller demand with relation to the
supply. and that has a downward
effect Not only are there fewer
people who actually need proper
ties, commercial, Industrial and
residential, but their finances are
such that they are inclined to put
up with what they have-in fact
many are obliged to, while those
who are able to buy either for use
or investment are inclined to walt
Tor what they believe will be lower
prices. Therefore the law of supply
and demand Is working toward low
er values.
The Washington herald., 1921-10-23

praisals are purchased because the
Of the appraiser is not only worth
more than his own, but that 1t is
accurate, whereas he considers his
own opinion simply a guess; but In
far too many instances the social
ed appraisal is little more than a
guess, delivered in the garb of au-
thority and accuracy.
And so 1 leave that branch OF
the subject with the petition that
we treat our responsibilities as ap-
praisers with the utmost serious
ness; that we practice a combina-
ton of experience, knowledge,
judgment and fairness, ana that we
constantly bear in mind that the
matter of appraisals is a matter of
trust-a trust not only in our fair
ness, but in the soundness of our
judgment. And now let us give
some thought to the problems of
the times as they AFFECT appraisaIs.
Much has been said under the
heading Of reconstruction and re-
adjustment With US readjustment
and reconstruction are very closely
allied, but reconstruction with US is
not the rebuilding of destroyed
properties. but rather the renewal
of construction, and not until con-
struction truly gets under way and
the supply begins to catch up with
the demand will we have actual re-
adjustment and sterilization of
values.
I'VE are face to face with the
changing Of values, a situation that
intensifies the difficulty of apprais-
ing. The changes are more marked
in buildings than in land. but new
ertheless are very actual facts in
lands of all kinds-improved and
unimproved, farms and city prop
erty and in the rental values
Values Constantly Changing.
Not that it is new for us to have
changing values, but in this case a
great many of the values are drop
ping-some slowly, some rapidly
and some only relatively. I would
not give the impression that I con-
slider all values to be shrinking, but
those which are not give us no Sc
rious problem, whereas the others
warrant our most serious considera-
ton and study.

property II is essential that we give
