REAL ESTATE BILL
E
All Dealers Must Be Licensed
Under Federal Law; Deputy
Commissioner Is Provided For.
A bill for the regulation and li
censing of real estate dealers
throughout ' the state, broader- in
scope and more drastic than the ex
isting law which has been in oper
ation for two years, has been
drafted by the legislative committee
of the Portland Realty board and is
ready for Introduction at the coming
session of the legislature.
The present law vests the Insurance
commissioner with the authority for
and the duty of administering its pro
visions. The proposed bill continues
this feature, stating that the insurance
commissioner "shall be ex-officio real
estate commissioner with no additional
compensation," and it imposes upon him
the duty "to enforce all laws, rules and
regulations relating to the licensing of
real estate brokers."
IfEW POSITIOX CREATED
The bill provides, also, for the ap
pointment by the Insurance commis
sioner of a deputy real estate commis
sioner "at a salary not to exceed $4000
per annum." This deputy is to have
direct charge of the administration of
the real . estate commission . act, thus
creating a subordinate bureau within
the insurance department, as has been
done in the case of the fire marshal
act. The insurance commissioner re
ceives an annual salary of $3000. while
the proposed measure would make it
possible for his assistant to receive 11000
a year more. . :
The proposed bill provides in brief
that any person who, "for a compensa
tion or promise thereof, sells or offers
for sale, buys or offers to buy, nego
tiates or offers to negotiate, either di
rectly or indirectly, whether as the em
ployer of another or otherwise, the pur
chase, sale, exchange, lease or rental of
real estate or any interests therein
for others as a whole or partial vocation
shall be a' real estate broker wHhin
the meaning of the law.
LICENSE IS NECESSARY
All brokers are required to make ap
plication for a license before transact
ing business, to put up a bond of $1000
and to pay an annual license fee of $5.
One act within the scope of the defini
tion is sufficient to bring the actor
under the law, and, if he has not com
plied with its provisions, to make him
liable to its penalties.
All fees, fines and penalties exacted in
the administration of the proposed law
are to be paid to the state treasurer at
the close of each calendar month and
are to be used, in whole or in part, as
may be necessary, for the administra
tion of the department.
Any person desiring to engage in the
real estate business is required to make
application for a license. The continu
ation of this license is to be conditioned
upon the fact that the broker will con
duct his business at all times "without

gathering of Boy Scouts Jteld last sum
mer. Sam attracted great attention.
both because of his many badges of
honor and because he was the second
smallest . Scout among all the thousands
present. -
Delightfully modest concerning all of
these honors and distinctions, he tells
of them and displays them only when
urged o, which demonstrates that he is

The applicant is also required to fur
nish the recommendation of not less
than 10 freeholders of 'the county in
which he .desires to operate, certifying
that the applicant Is personally known
to them and that he is "honest, truth
ful and. of good moral character."
Provision is made for the revocation
of licenses for acts in violation of the
law, while it is provided that should
any one be convicted of acting' as a
real estate broker without having first
complied with the terms of the law he
shall be punished by a fine not to ex
ceed $500 or by imprisonment in the
county jail for not to exceed 90 days, or
both. Should the offender be a cor
poration the penalty of the law would be
a fine not to exceed $1000.
The proposed bill has been carefully
considered by the legislative committee
of the Realty board and will be ready
for introduction when the legislature
convenes.

a divorce, is to! appear before the

ing the ensuing week, it is under
stood, to tell of his matrimonial trou
bles. He visited the district attor
ney's office Saturday and told his ex
periences. According to his statement he and
Gertrude Potter lived amicably as hus
band and wife in Portland for some
years, she being employed at a confec
tionery store. Two weeks ago. he says.
she decided to go to Seattle to visit rela
tives, to which he readily consented, but
a day or so later he received a news
paper clipping from that city showing
she had been married to a man named
Brunn.
Potter's investigations revealed, he
says, that through Attorney J. R. Green
field, Mrs. Potter had obtained a divorce
from him in Clatsop county, charging de
sertion ; that she had shown an affi
davit from Mary Keller, an employe at
the confectionery, stating she knew the
husband had not lived with the wife for
a year. The service of the summons was
by publication in the Seaside Sentinel

chance of seeing it. The divorce, he says,

was used in getting it. Greenfield said
Saturday night he had no knowledge that
there was any irregularity in the affl
davits in the divorce case.
