OREGON LAW AMENDED.

Important amendments to the real
estate license law of Oregon have
been passed by the House and Senate
of Oregon and are now before the
governor for his signature.
The amendments provide that the
real estate commissioner may require
proof that all applicants for license
as real estate brokers have general
knowledge OF the English language, a
fair understanding Of the rudiments
and principles of. real estate convey
ances, the general preparation and
the general legal effect of deeds,
mortgages, land contracts and leases.
and a general and fair understanding
of the obligations between principal
and agent and OF the provisions OF
the Oregon real estate laws.
They provide further that admin
istration of the law shall be by a
real estate department entirely di-
vorced from the insurance depart
ment. which has hitherto been re-
sponsible for it's enforcement.

legal limit for national banks in purs

the bonds of no one issuer shall be
held in an amount exceeding % per

Special Dispatch 10 The Star
BALTIMORE. March 12.-Interest
in the progress of a bill recently In
troduced in the Legislature for the
supervision of building and loan asso-
Citations in Maryland is being shown
by realty men.
According to the bill as now drawn,
all building and loan associations in
this State would be supervised by the
State Tax Commission. Advocates OF
the measure assert that it has good
possibility of passage.
The building and loan associations
of this State. il is pointed out i are
without any sort Of government super
vision at this time. At the last pre-
ceding session of the Legislature en-
deavors were made to have these in
situations placed under the jurisdic-
ton of some official agency. but opin-
ions varied as to what State office
should be charged with the work.
The present bill, 1t is understood,
meets the approval both of the bank
ers of Maryland and of the building
and loan association section of the
real estate board, which included a
large proportion of the building asso-
Citations of the State.
