Representative of National Jour
nal Comments on Washington
Move to Restrict- Levies.
Development of this section and
the protection of the interests of
property owners which is being
done by the Northwest Real Estate
association was highly praised bj
S. Wolstencrof t of Chicago, represen
tative of the National Real Estate
Journal, who was in Portland last
week.
Mr. Wolstencrof t commented espe
cially on the fact that the indebt
edness of the northwest associa
tion has been reduced over $1000
during the past few months and on
the movements which have been
started in the state of Washington
for the passage of a law restricting
tax levies on real estate and for the
adoption of a real estate license law
similar to that now in effect in
Oregon.
The representative of the national
journal emphasized the importance
of the real estate men of the entire
northwest territory petting behind

the Washington men in the passage
of these two laws.
"The securing of a law restricting
the tax levy on real estate is a step
in the right direction," he said. ."If
we can secure such a law in Wash
ing that may be made the first step
in a nation-wide movement."
The passage of a real estate li
cense law, Mr. Wolstencroft said,
was important so that Washington
would no longer be the happy hunt
ing ground for real estate men who
could not operate in other states,
which had such a law.
"Such a law will protect not only
the legitimate real estate men of
Washington, but also will protect
you who are operating in adjacent
territory," he said.
