M. & NJ. drMders Start Hard Work

!
! On Monday afternoon, Sept. Z,
! Coach Ballenger's first call for Nor
/ gan county huskies brought out
about 80 well rounded fellows. Ev
erybody was full of enthusiasm and
spirit ran very high, even though
seen because Of being declared in
/ eligible by the rules of the Ohio
high school athletic association.
! Captain-elect Jones and Martin,
both half-backs Of last year, are in
eligible because of not passing in the
required number of subjects the pre-
ceding semester. Partesius, who
| has held down the tackle position,
| for the last three years, is ineligible
because of the ninth semester ruling.
Gordon, guard Of last year, has not
reported for practice. Hooper is not
in school this year.
With only four letter men back to
form the nucleus of this years team,
Coach Ballenger is rounding his pro-
teges into shape for the opening
game Sept. rs with GAINESVILLE, at
GAINESVILLE. Every member of the
entire squad is just full of that old
fight and determination that makes
a good football team.
The prospects are only fairly good,
but with two or three games exper-
fence they are going to be a hard
bunch to beat. There are quite
few Freshmen out that will make
football boom in The next few years.
The boys tEfat are reporting for prac-
tice are Estelle Humphrey, Deane
Northrup, Kenneth Davis, Harold
Kennard, Francis Hooper, Thomas
Bauer, Gerald Price, Floyd )Carder,

NEW YORK, January 19-Prohibi-

ports that submarine manned by a
German crew has been bringing in
from 1000 to 5000 cases of Iiouor

A tramp steamer acting as the moth

in overcoming evils due to improper
or dishonest practices. The present
system of licensing real estate brok-
ers in the District OF Columbia is
solely revenueproducfng measure
There are absolutely no restrictions
or safeguards in connection with the
issuance of licenses and no means of
reVoking licenses or otherwise pun
ishing wrong-doing in real estate
practice except through the ordinary
channel of criminal procedure, which
frequently is not practical to apply.
This weakness in our system OF IL
censing real estate brokers is, IN our
opinion, the most serious problem
connected with the local real estate
situation.
1T is with this in mind that we
respectfully submit for your earnest
sideration a proposed real estate
license law for the District, and sin
cereIy hope that the same Will be
Immediately introduced in both
Houses of Congress and placed In
position for passage at this session
This law is based on a model law
drafted by the general counsel OF the
National Association of Real Estate
Boards, Gen. Nathan w. McChesney
of Chicago, in collaboration with a
committee of expert realtors, and 1t
has been the basis for license laws
adopted in the following States: ::
Arizona, California, Florida. Idaho,
Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michi-
gan, Montana, New Jersey. New YORK,
Oklahoma, Oregon. Tennessee. Utah,
Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming. as
well as several bills now pending in
different Legislatures throughout the
country.
The term pyramiding the trusts
has frequently been used before you
and has been banded about in the
newspapers by tenants and others
giving interviews on the subject. The
Washington Real Estate Board is, of
course, opposed to the placing of
trusts upon property which would re-
suit in a fraud on the investing pub
lie Under the proposed license law,
no real estate broker would be en-
titled to a license TO do business if
he were a party to the execution of
any trust or mortgage that would re-
suit in a fraud upon the investing
public.

essential to the people.
Senator Copeland asked if ii was
possible to pass law relating to
bread and its prices, why law
could not be passed relating to
shelter
Traces Plan of Control.
Mr.. MacChesney traced for the COM
mittee the gradual development of regu-
iatory legislation. At first, he said it
was applied only to business which held
a public use. based usually on a monop-
olistc interest
Mr.. MacChesney expressed the opin-
ion that the Whaley bill deprives the
owner of real estate in Washington of
fundamental rights. He said the Su-
preme Court would have to go much
further than it has ever gone If it should
hold the law constitutional.
Mr.. MacChesney declared that
proper license law would place in the
hands of the commission so set up
power to control all persons engaged
in the real estate business.
He insisted that he did not believe
conspiracy could well exist among
owners of real estate to force up
prices.
Demnnd Landlords Name.
Senator Ball asked how it would be
possible to decide what was a fair
rental unless there was a rent COM
mission established. He said that it
had been reported to him that a GER
tain landlord of an apartment, in
which rents had been increased from
SO to $50 per apartment, declared
he had been forced to fix these rents
oy the real estate organization
Immediately Mr.. Petty and Mr..
Whiteford demanded the name of this
landlord.
Senator Ball replied that it would
be put in the record at the next hear
ing at which the supporters of the
rent bill are heard
Mr.. MacChesney criticised the Wha-
ley bill paragraph by paragraph.
Mr.. Blanton asked why, since II was
possible to charge the same prices
for eggs and other food products all
over the city. it would not be posi-
BILE to fix prices on rental properties
Answers MIR. BIanton.
Mr.. MacChesney replied that you
can put eggs in cold storage without
losing their value, but that owners
of property, when they hold the
property off the market, lose the
rentals
Senator Jones said that he had
been told of an owner of an apart
ment in which one-half of the apart
mentS were vacant
This owner, he said was satisfied
with keeping up the rents and having
one half his building vacant. He did
not have to pay for repairs or up
Keep of the vacant apartments.
Mr.. MacChesney replied that land
lord might be willing to have vacant
apartments to keep up the rentals of
his other apartments. but that he
would not do so merely to increase
the prices of some other landlords
apartment.
Mr.. MacChesney criticized vigorous
ly provisions in the Whaley bill which
would prevent a landlord from saw
ing who should and who should not
rent his property This, he said,
would be taking away the control of
mans house. The proposed bill, he
said. goes far beyond the limits set
regarding other regulated businesses.

No MORE TRAVELLING IN ORDINARY PULLMAN"

When President Coolidge goes to st, Paul within week he will not repeat his former experience of traveling in Pullman car as an ordinary passenger, a decision by the President that will be received with satisfaction by the nation at large.
 The "ordinary passenger" system of presidential travelling was prac- ticing entirely too much economy, and economy of a kind that, in the case Of the nations chief executive included too much danger
 The agreement of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad to run the presiden- tial coaches as the second section of regular train will be a fair compromise of situation In which economy ideas and public policy elashed, The President will enjoy what amounts to @ special train, yet by running it in conjunction with a regular train the government will be saved the tidy sum of sI,5OQ. This ought to satisfy both the Pres ident and the country.
