RENT; PROFITEERS
Committee WilLMeet Wednesday
of tach Week to Listen to Com
plaints of Landlords, Tenants.
Several weeks of investigation by
the ; committee appointed by Mayor
Baker to examine dnto charges of
rent profiteering has ' resulted in a
decision that it is impossible to con
trol the rental rates on property by
city regulation. ! At a meeting of
the committee Thursday afternoon it
was suggested by City Attorney La
Roche that the papers of the city be
asked to give wide publicity to the
practices 'ofthe'-rent' profiteers and T
an effort be made to curb their ac
tivities by this means.
The rental committee Is headed by 1
Mayor Baker and it has been arranged
that hearings shall be held on Wednes
day of each week at the city hall to
listen to complaints and suggestions of
tenants and property owners. Wherever
possible the mayor's committee, will act
as, mediator ' in disputes between land
lords and their tenants, it was an
nounced.' 'i'i-: 1 1,
The following opinion as to the au
; thorlty of the city commissioners to reg
ulate rentals : was submitted by La
Roche
There a :a grave question, as evi
denced by court decisions, as to whether
a city has authority to regulate rents
and; provide penalties for violation."
... "Dallas, Texas, is the only city of
which we have information where such
an ordinance, has been enacted and up
held by the courts. JThe fact that this
ordinance ' has been upheld may have
been due to the granting to the city of
Dallas by Us charter of such authority.
Whether Portland has such power Is a
debatable question, and even if it has
and such an ordinance should be passed,
an effort to enforce it would be met with
a test as to its constitutionality. This
would, result In long litigation during
which time I the municipal authorities
would be helpless.
"There is no question that the state
legislature has power' to enact laws cov
ering the subject, and in view of the
doubtful, authority of the city, the fol
lowing suggestion: is offered ? That a
committee appointed by. the mayor in
vestigate all! cases reported. and where
it is apparent that a landlord is taking
advantage of the situation and charg
ing exorbitant rents, the committee en
deavor to bring, about , an adjustment
between the landlord and tenant ; that
if the landlord refuses to negotiate with
the committee or abide by. its sugges
tions and the committee feels that the
landlord Is profiteering, the committee
publish such - facts as is done in some
other cities ; that the committee make a
thorough study of the situation and if.
In its opinion, there should be some leg
islative action on the subject it prepare
and submit to the next session of the
legislature such measures as to the com
mittee appear necessary.' .: '

"Have you made your will ?" This
Is a, personal question, that all should
be able to answer in the affirma i
tlve.; ; Unfortunately, it Is a matter
that; although the . mpsi important
after death, appears to many to be
the least important during their
lifetime. It is both a privilege and
a duty which no other person in
the wide world can- perform for one,
Jt is impossible to know what may hap
pen to cut life short and jit ; is a duty
one owes to his family to shave -his af
fairs so arranged that there will be no
necessary wants that cannot be satis
fied, if he die seized of sufficient prop
erty to provide for them. One's business
associates have a moral debt owing them
to have everything so arranged that they
will not be embarrassed by his' sudden
passage from life. .. . JK v .-. V i
IMMEDIATE DEMANDS FOE FU5DS
One' of the first requisites after death
is sufficient money to properly take care
of the, bereaved family and pay neces
sary expenses. This is an immediate de
mand and 7 provision should be made to
meet !'1C Onf would not Wish to sub
ject his widow, daughter or any other
member of his family to the "embarrasa-r
men t of having to stand off the trades
men for; lack .of funds to meet the usual
expenses, of living. ' j
Most persons - carry. obligations or
debts: that, although the' law might -hold
in abeyance for a short time, they would
have paid if still alive, and Jit is a moral
obligation to their creditors; to have their
wills so drawn that they will be paid
with reasonable promptness. 'One must
bear in mind that: many of his credit
accommodations were extended as a per
sonal favor, or in ether words the credits
were allowed on the ''moral risk."
WIIX IS SECESSARY j
: The assets of most estates, include both
real estate and personal property, which,
most people wish managed and disposed
of in accordance with ideas of their
own. L The only Way this can be done is
through the provisions - of 1 a properly
drawn wilL . If it. is desired that certain
properties go to different members of
the family one has the privilege of so:
bequeathing it and the same holds true
as to personal property also.
No matter how small the; value of the
properties might be there Is nearly al
ways some other division of it that the
owner would mtfke than that which the:
law: provides. Most people have articles
of personal property that ire cherished
by members of their families or friends
and that they wish them to have as re
membrances, and this can all be provided
for in a will Without fear of one's wishes
not being complied with. I
ViXVL OF A5CE3tT O BIO IX
The drawing of wills is an .ancient
practice. The Bible records hat Abra-
ham and Jacob both madewills. Abra-
ham appointed his steward as his heir i
and Jacob provided that Joseph should
receive a larger portion than his breth
ren. " When the poet Virgil died some
years before the Christian era, he .direct-
ed by his will that the Aenid be burned,
but fortunately his friends! did not per
mit this to be done. Event Horace, . the
poet, wrote -a -satire", on "legacy Hunt -
era" 2000 years ago. Shakespeare makes
frequent mention of wills land we find
all through history that one of the main
sources of revenue of the scriveners was
the writing of wills. , . i 1 ;
WORK OF ATTORNEY . j
Coming down to the'' present day, this
work has fallen to the attorney, who Is
equipped with his knowledge of the law
to properly handle It. The first move in
drawing a will is to consult a good law
yer. One must be prepared "to divulge
his feelings toward all members of his
family and also give full information as
to property holdings and other assets,
as this is as necessary almost as having
the will itself drawn. There need be no
fear of his breaking' this confidence, as
the first requisite of a good lawyer is
confidential service. i j '

evolved from the requirements of com
mercial life. Is the corporate executor.

Heads a Strong Fight Against
4 Per Cfent Interest Bill.
Regular weekly meetings of .the
Portland Realty board for the season
of 1920-21 will begin Friday,' Sep
tember 3. , in the grill . room of the
Portland hotel. Chester Fuller of
the Title & Trust company has been
appointed chairman of the ' enter
tainment committee in place of Har
old Junck, who resigned his-place on
the committee 'after several months
of successful, service. . -.. -' J- -:
- Programs of the realty luncheons this
year will be enriched by frequent visits
of officials of the national association
of real estate boards and by addresses
from prominent business men and realty
operators in eastern cities. Chairman
Fuller promises " a card of exceptional
merit for the first meeting of the year.
. Asfde 'from the purely entertainment
features of this ' year's meetings. Presi
dent German announces that the board
will take up the discussion of all legis
lation, effective or proposed, which af
fects the Interests of ' the realty pro
fession. Attention -of the members . of
the Portland board is just now centered
on an initiative bin to be voted on at
tha November election, which woUld fix
the legal rate of interest . in Oregon at
4 per cent per annum, with an allowance
of 5 per cent on contracts.
Passage of this measure would prove
disastrous to every Industrial and com
mercial interest In Oregon, Would drive
capital from the state and result in the
foreclosure - of thousands of mortgages
on farm and residence property. Holders
of mortgages drawing 6 and 7 per cent
wofcld refuse to renew them at ; the
lower rate, and' men' with capital to in
vest would send it outside the state.
iThls bUl was fathered by J. F. Al
bright of Oregon City, and the Circula
tion of initiative petitions in Multnomah
county was in charge of one O.i W.
Eastham. According to Eastham's
statements, published some months a feo
In The Journal, the original purpose of
Albright and; himself was to use the bill
as a means of extorting funds from'
the Oregon State Bankers association.
The scheme 'outlined by Kastham pro
posed that the petitions should be cir
culated and when the . proper number
of signatures had been secured to place
the bill on the ballot,-an offer to sup
press the petitions and fail to file them,
in consideration of the payment of. $20.
000, would be made to the bankers as
sociation, 'l . : ' ,
Following the exposure of Kastham
and Albright by The Journal, it became
necessary for the promoters of the bill
to file their petitions in order, to make
a show, of - good - faith. ' According to
Eastham's own statement, he knew that
the passage of the bill would "prove
disastrous to the interests of the state,
and for that very reason we win have
no trouble - in getting the bankers to
buy us oft" '

WATER HEATING
PLANT NOVELTY
Invention of Portland Man Heats
30-Room Building for Ten
Cents an Hour :
A new hot water heating system
invented by J. Landlgan, 406 Van
couver avenue, promises to revolu
tionize present methods of heating
residents and apartment houses . A
plant installed by Lahdigan and now
in operation at 406 Vancouver ave
nue heats a 30 room building at an
expense of 10 cents per hour, and the
inventor has successfully demon
strated that a six room apartment
can be heated by ' his device for 2
cents per hour, running time.
The peculiar feature lot the Landlgan
heating' system is the j "furnace" which
heats the . water and. causes its rapid
circulation through thaj piping and reg
isters. Gas is the fuel used and a single
burner five inches . in diameter placed
beneath the coll. consisting of 60 feet
of . thre-eighth-inch iron pipe and four
feet of one lpch iron pipe,' heats suffi
cient water to insure Comfort to a five
or six room apartment .
, The secret of the success of. the Lan
dlgan heater, according to the inventor,
is the one Inch pipe which stands on the
inside of the coil, causing a suction and
rapid return of the water without fric
tion or noise and at a great saving in
gas and money. - ; j
"It is not necessary ! to have a base
ment under a house heated by this sys
tem, said Landigan. The heater may
be installed in a corner of the kitchen
or any ' other convenient 'place. No
storage room for fuel; is required and
there is no dirt or smoke to contend
with.; All 4odors "are ; carried away
through the vent attached to tha upper
end of the coiL-Casing. 1 The new heater
