REAL ESTATE
license Bill.
IS CONSIDERED

A bill to require the licensing OF
real estate brokers and creating
a Territorial Real Estate Board was
under consideration in the House OF
representatives during its forenoon
session today.
The House adopted an amend
ment to increase the amount OF
bond required of real estate brok-
ers and salemen.
The original bill provided for a
bond of $1,000.
Rep George Miscovich, comment
ing that it seemed very small
tond for a million dollar business,
moved TO Increase the bond to $40
Gee for brokers. 5000 for statesmen.
Rep. Wendell Kay Std that actu-
allv brokers and statesmen usually
do not handle large amounts OF
money for their clients; that $1,000
is the standard bond for brokers
on the Pacific Coast, but that he
would support bond somewhere
between $1,000 and $4,000 figures.
A compromise was reached at 81
GEO for brokers' bonds, $4,000 for
statesmen.
Other amendments to the Dill
were under consideration when the
House recessed, to reconvene at z
pm. today.

BANKER
DOES MORE THAN
MAKING LOANS

There are many good people,
Fowler Martin, Vice President of
the Pacific National Bank of Seat
tie, believes. His bank loses very
few loans, he said, and his faith in
the best in human nature remains
firm after AZ years in the banking
business.
Martin, wellknown all over Alaska
since 1928 when he first came north
as secretary Of the Alaska Salemens
Society, has made friends with
thousands Alaskans. His business
rs a banker has been more than
making loans. He runs an unofficial
personal service department for
Alaskans that has done everything
from buying wedding dress for
an Alaskan girl to placing over 1850
persons in various positions.
During the war these services
we're stepped up to assist parents
meeting their boys and girls in the
Armed Forces, arranging hotel res
ervations and many other things.
Fowler Martins genuine liking
for people wrinkles in his wise eyes
and he regards his banking bust
ness with human interest as well
as a business.
He regards Alaska as a place OF
opportunity for the right profess
sional young men and women and
has been instrumental il encourage
ing many doctors, dentists, and
lawyers to come here.
Speaking of Alaskan economy
Martin believes that tax incentive
legislation would be helpful in en-
couraging outside capital. Alaska
wants and needs outside capital for
development" he declared, but
once it comes in, local people seem
to lose interest in it and do not con-
tinue to assist as they might"
Martin is here to attend the Alas
ka Bankers convention, which he
regards as a splendid opportunity
for members of the trade to ex-
change ideas and remain progress
sive.
