Hearings were started yesterday be- fore the judiciary subcommittee of the House District committee on the Blan- ton bill to prevent fraud in real estate transactions by establishing a com mission to license real estate dealers in Washington. Roger Whiteford, representing the Washington Real Estate Board; John S. White, representing indepen dent estate brokers, and John Lewis Smith, representing indepen- dent contractors, registered their de- | sire to be heard'in opposition to tain provisions of the bill. The h Ing was delayed out of courtes ntative Blanton, Demacrat, , author to of of the measure, who utive session of another the joint committee which studied the 1926— PART 1. quire the true consideration to be stated in deeds and deeds of trust. Mr. White, representing the inde- pendent real estate brokers, chal- lenged Mr. Blanton as to whether a man to be considered an honest real estate dealer must necessarily belong to the Washington Real Estate Board. Mvr. Blanton said “certainly not,” and Representative Reid, Republican, of Illinofs, facetiously remarked: ‘“That wouldn't make him an honest real estate man, either.” Price Feature Opposed. Although they usually disagree, Mr Blanton and Mr. Hammer were in thorough accord at the hearing yes. They told the subcommittee ad made a personal examina- tion and had found nine trusts on one buliding In Washington. Mr. White- ford, representing the Real Estaie Board, said they must be mistaken. Mr. Whiteford said the Real Estate Board is not opposed to a licensing law based on the McChesney plan. as used in 22 States and upheld by the Supreme Court In 8 or § States. He did object vigorously to Mr. Blanton's provision requiring the true considera- tion to be set forth, which he claimed will not achleve the good purpose that Mr. Blanton belleves it will. He said that Nebraska is the only State where the true consideration operates, and that even there the court has ruled that it is not to be taken as evidence of the real value, He said statement of the true consideration in a deed would serve only as the publicity of | income tax returns had acted to whet the curiosity of persons intarested in other people's affairs more than thelr Counsel moval of Sheriff late today in ings before Gov.
