BUILDINGS
IN RENTF|X|NG
Commission Will Not Limit
Its Activities to Sep
arated Apartments.

Hereafter the District Rent Com
mission will not limit it's rent-fixing
action to specific apartments in an
apartment building, but, on complaint
Of one or more tenants or the owner,
will Investigate and determine a rental
schedule for the entire building. 1t was
announced today at the commission
headquarters at 9Th and B streets.
This change in procedure WI, nos
take place as the result Of a definite
ruling on the matter, it was empha :
sized, but merely as policy designed
to eliminate duplication Of work.
The commission in the past has
been forced, in many instances, to
make personal inspections in the
same building on several different
occasions, as tenants, from time to
time. may have filed individual COM
plants regarding rents. In each in
stance the commission was forced
to duplicate the work of taking
testimony regarding the value. cost
and accommodations of the particular
apartment house involved, so that u
rental might be arrived at on the in
dividual apartment complained Of
Through the adoption of the COM
missions new policy ii will be neces-
sary for builders, owners and realty
valuation experts to appear at but
one hearing on any specific property,
thereby setting a schedule of rents
on every apartment in the structure
at one time, possibility Of future COM
plants by either tenants or landlord
will be virtually obviated.
The rent commission was empower
ed under the last extension OF the
Ball act to exercise its initiative
Of rents. regardless of whether COM
plants have been filed.

SAYS DEMOCRATS
WILL BACK HARDING
Senator Harrison, in Address,
Sees His Party lndorsing
World Court Proposal.

Special Dispa ten to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 11.-Senator Pat
Harrison of Mississippi. democrat,
speaking here last night at the Paper
Salesmen's dinner in the Waldorf
Astoria Hotel. expressed the opinion
that President Harding. in his cam
paign to have the United States take
part in the world court, would have
the support and corporation of the
democratic party.
Senator Harrison discussed also the
problem of reforeStation, as q member
OF the special Senate committee now
investigating that subject. He said
in part:
Association VftnIly Interested.
Your association is vitally inter-
ested In the problem OF reforestation
am glad to report to you that
committee appointed by the Senate
has gone SO far in it's investigation
as to insure to your organization and
the people greater aid and cooper
alton on the part Of the federal gov
ernment in solving this great problem
than has heretofore been mantle st ed
I'VE have found thus far that IS per
cent of the destruction to forests is
due to fires. What we need is not only
greatly increased appropriation on
the part of the federal government
and the states interested. but Il cam
paign of education through every
agency Of your association and or
ganization in this country, that will
reach into the public schools, against
this destruction of our forests by
fire. We hope to bring this great
question before the people in every
state in such way that they will
understand its magnitude as well as
the necessity for prompt action"
In speaking of international re-
lations, Senator Harrison said:
The President. in his belated cam
patgn to carry this government into
the permanent international court
Will have the sympathy and co-opera-
tion of the democratic party. Why
not? 1t Is the road along which we
have been travelling and it is to be
hoped that when the President be-
gins his itinerary he will go into
those states represented by some of
his own party who are attempting
to Illustrate his plans, and that he will
set up backfire in those states
that Will insure united support in
the Senate.
II would have him go into Connecti-
cut and arouse the friends of Brande-
gee. i would have him go into New
Hampshire and bring to his aid the
have him go into Idaho and fight Bill
Borah on his own dunghill.
$50 far as the democratic members
of the Senate are concerned, i am
quite sure that when the roll is
called there will not be recorded over
three. democratic senators against
the plan"
