Members of the recently organized

ing bits of humor or byplay, or to
punctuate his address with tales and
illustrations more or less to the point
He gave his audience, rather, a plain,
straight talk, hitting right out from
the shoulder. He emphasized three
things as essential in the realtors
business, if he is to be successful.
These are the necessity for raising
the standard of the profession, the
improvement of business methods, and
how best to promote and to build up
the community in which he deals. In
the amplification of his thinking along
these lines Mr.. McCrehen presented
himself in line of clear, close and
cogent thinking, as one holding high
ideals for his profession and jealous
for its character and reputation. What
he had to say was wholly constructive
in character and gave his audience a
better and more definite idea of the
things members of such real estate
boards are, seeking to accomplish and
bring about in their respective com.
munities.
In the course of his talk Mr.. Nc
Crehen touched upon the subject of
taxation. In this he made the state.
ment that holders of real estate, being
unable to conceal or sequester it, bear
So per cent of all taxes.
A tribute was paid to the value of
the service rendered by the realtor.
He held that the realtor must, of me-
cessity and by virtue of his profes-
sion, be wide awake, interested in all
plans for promoting the welfare of
the city; he must be booster and
an advocate of city planning and of
