When Gov. Miller affixed his sigma
ture TO the bill that makes compulsory
the licensing of real estate brokers and
salesmen in large cities and in West
CHESTER and Nassau counties, he placed
on the statute books legislation tnal

nent in the real state brokerage pusi-
ness. At least that is the way the Real
estate Board of New York feels about
II. The Governor signed the bill on
April Is, and 1t was the last bill to be
signed by him prior to the expiration
OF the thirty days period following the
adjournment OF the Legislature. Re-
garding the fight to bring about this
reform. the Real Estate Board says:
"In 1890 when the Gibbs McWhinney
bill was first introduced at the joint re-
quest OF the New York State Associa-
ton, OF Real Estate Boards, the Real
Estate Board OF. New York and the
Brooklyn Zeal Estate Board insufficient
sentiment was manifested in the Legis-
lature to secure passage of the bill.
''In 1921 the bill was again introduced
with some amendments. That year 1t
passed the Legislature, but was vetoed
by Gov Miller largely in response to
rural sentiment
I'm order to meet these objections,
the provisions Of the bill introduced In
Ja22. now Chapter 672, were made ap-
prr5pie only to cities and to counties
acjoining a city having a population OF
] 100000 or more
'srhis year the bill was actively
: censored by the State Association and
tie Real Estate Board of New York
s,nd passed the Senate by a practically
unanimous vote and the Assembly by
safe majority.
''The bill was opposed in some quar-
ters under the MISTAKEN idea that the
function OF real estate broker Is linn
fed to selling a commodity for a com
mission, and that no special qualifica-
tions and no particular moral standards
are requlred. On the contrary the pro-

Or all earth.s hOnored heroes,

He's given his best for his country,
Ana has answered duty's call
For his righteousness and valor.
The world honors his dear name,
And all the nations of the earth
Have heard of his great fame.
We all want to thank him
For his Faithfulness
To his people and his Country
And our great success.
In having such a President,
Who's done as best he could,
For his Nation and his people,
AS all great Presidents should
Mid the world wars raging battles,
His watchword was ever prayer
For his Nation's victory
And the boys over there.
So let us live a hero's life,
And fight the battle of our day,
And bear patiently pain and strife,
For bravery will always pay.
And SO we hope that God will bless,
And keep this man within his care,
For his blessed righteousness,
This Oh Lord, our humble prayer.
So let US hope and watch and pray
For him SO great and grand,
To God we viii ever say,
oh, Lord, bless this man.
We will will always, forever, respect
this man,
There's none so great as he
In our great land
On earth or on sea.
We ever thank him for his faith in
this land of ours,
And in us, his people.
And may God keep him
Through many days and hours.
