REALTORS FORM
GROUP NOT FOR
FINANCIAL GAIN
Would First Serve Com.
munity in Honest and
Efficient Method.

That real estate dealers are Or
ganized under the name of real
tors, not for financial gain, but to
serve as an organization to help
the community was pointed out by
Ira E. High. vice president of the
National Association of Real Estate
Boards. in an address recently be-
fore the members of the Boise
Realty Board. Mr.. High was for
merly president of the Northwest
Real Estate Association and is in
business in Boise. He said in part
as follows:
81 want to impress upon you
fellow members that our principal
object Is not to secure financial
profits for ourselves, but rather
that we may discharge our high
duty by improving the conditions
for those air, ady living here, in
suring pcace and prosperity and In
aiding the future development OF
our State so that in the years to
come ours will be the land of homes
and opportunities for thousands
who are today living in the con-
gested cities of the East. / would
not convey the Impression that our
cause such is not the fact.
We must strive to raise the bus
iness and moral standard of our
members that thereby we may as
pire and justly merit as a board a
higher degree of public confidence
in our professions.
I'VE must inspire loyalty among
our members. We must impress
upon our members that a man who
is living in our community. rearing
his family here and accommodating
his fortune here. owes to our COM
munity a definite obligation which
he cannot discharge in dollars and
cents, but which must be discharged
in service.
Therefore, 1t is up to US as real
tors to take an active part in all
civic affairs, legislation, taxation.
problems, highway development. ir-
rigation development and in all
other problems which affect our
community generally. In this way
and without hope Of direct reward
we can discharge our community
obligation both individually and
collectively.
"I want to urge upon you to seek
not only your own profit in your
real estate-business. but work to
the profit of your clients as well,
You are in the business to render
service to our city, its policies and
its people as we'll as the service to
your patrons. The realtor feels
more keenly than any other bust
ness or professional man the pulse
of business. He should always be
a leader in civic affairs, our cham
Der of commerce. etc. Use your
Imagination and your concentration
for our city's good. Specialize in
YOUR business and our city. Know
information about both that will be
helpful to your client. Have people
say about you. I like to deal with
that fellow because he seems to
know his business Doing this will
make you successful"

MAY ASK RAZING .
OF PLAZA HOTELS
Says These Government
Buildings Have Served Their
War Purpose.

Congress will be urged to- pro-
vide legislation to tear down the
government hotels at the Union
Station Plaza by the executive COM
mittee of the National Association
Of Real Estate Boards, 1t was in
dicated last week by Irving B.
Hiett. president of the national
body.
The hotels have served their war
purpose. They are now a blight on
the beauty of Washington, stand
ing between and obstructing the
view from the Capitol to Union
Station, according TO Hiett. The
buildings, he said, were erected for
temporarily housing the war in
fiux of government employees. Ac-
ton should now be taken\to re-
move the hotels, he claims.
Want to Help City.
The executive committee, repre-
senting every local board in the
United States and parts of Canada,
considers Washington as their city
as well as residents here, and
1t Is understood several proposals
furthering plans for greater
Washington" will be taken up by
the committee, Hiett declared.
One of these proposals for the
Identification of Washington. Hiett
intimated, is the continuation of
the parking system on the south
side of Pennsylvania avenue be-
tween the Capitol and the White
House. Congress will be asked to
push these plans by the executive
committee, it is thought.
Unwilling OF Memorial.
One Of the stepping stones to a
greater Washington" will be the
unveiling of the Grant Memorial
which will begin the opening of the
Mall to the Capitol. Hiett said.
Hiett was here during 1917-1S as
an oficial of the United States
Housing Corporation. Since that
time he has been residing in To-
ledo.
Upon his arrival in this city he
toured the District to determine
Washington's suburban expansion
and the quality of apartments
erected here.
