Director Hill said, it was hoped the
government could count on getting

During the war, on account of the
great pressure on the mills and lack

use all-cotton paper. Mr.. Hill said
and the bureau is now working
around again to use all-linen as
rapidly as the mill can supply it.
During a year the bureau uses a
total of 1S0.000.0O0 sheets of this

NEW RENT COMMISSION.
A Suggestion as to the Proper Per-
sonuel in Reorganization.
To the Editor Of The Star

To the Editor Of The Star:
1t is reported that the President is
going to appoint majority or at
tornevs on the Rent Commission Board.
1t seems to the writer that the essen
tial qualification for this office is per-
son qualified to appraise values. because
this is the basic principle involved in
fixing a fair return of rents on proper
ties. The city assessors guidance is
very helpful. yet it seems the man for
the job should be some one like the
real estate officers of our large banks,
who make appraisements based on act
ual values as near as human judgment
can. The experience they have makes
them highly efficient. OF course, legal
minds are trained in extracting facts,
but, as class, the profession are lack
ing in the appraisementof values.
The present commission never had a
fair chance, as it was regarded as a
Joke by most of the lawyers and land
lords, who even did not defend cases
brought before it. l have some knowl-
edge of results by this commission, and
believe it has under very difficult con-
ditions sought to be just and service
able arbitrator. I have known of land
lord and tenant submitting their differ
ences before it in a friendly way and
both being satisfied with the decision.
This is how it ought to be; it is not a
legal fight, but an arbitration to decide
rightly a fair rental. There is no ques-
ton that rents should be fixed to bring
in to the owner a fair per cent of rev.
enue on the money value of property,
and it is this alone that should be re-
garded ELIJAH E. KNOTT.
