Chips in a Gambling Game Editor The Star: I note with much interest what you are doing in.the way of a public benefactor with | regard to the Jap and his strangle-hold upon the Seat- _ tle public. is applies as well to the entire country. May I not | add a suggestion to those contained in Friday’s Star? Some of your correspondents have made the sug- ion that a systematic movement be made to get at facts with special reference to the assessment and collection of taxes on apartment houses which have been bought by Japs and resold over again several times at big advances above the last sale, And at F each re-sale the rents were raised by the new Jap » landlord until it has at last become apparent that the system is to buy out a lease and furniture at any price, matter how absurdly high, and to raise the rents 80 "as to cover the added cost, as well as a big commis- sion to tle renegade white agent who grows rich by ing other people of his own race. ‘ es geet that your valued paper start in on this ch of agents and publish their names, with ap- te remarks, after getting the facts from the : ts who are being garroted. I am in position to supply you with at least one ag- ted instance, and full particulars. The owner of ‘ een should also be advertised as a grafter— > he is. In the instance referred to, the g@wner was ap- ed by the pirate agent or broker and offered a price for a lease on the real estate, and at least ur times the value of the furniture in cash. The owner leased the property and sold the furni- at the price. The sale was made to the agent, so to raise no suspicion in the mind of the owner, but hin a week was resold to a Jap at an increased price 4 would pay all the increased price and commissions in each case, and the Jap, at each new purchase, demanded rent in advance or served a three-day: notice to vacate. This same apartment house has been resold, each time to a new Jap, five times during the past six months, The Jap keeps a foreigner, who Woks like a white man, as agent to run the place and do his dirty work, and at each new sale and transfer the owner de- mands, and gets, his big bonus for making the trans- fer of the lease. The last sale was for a consideration of nearly three times what the lease.and furniture first sold at. I hope you may think seriously enough of this mat- ter and my suggestion, to start the movement for sys- tematic investigation and publicatian of the names with the facts. Very sincerely; yours, oO. P. T. That’‘seems to be the chief cause of our rent troubles tle today. Apartment house leases are, merely chips in a gambling game, and the renter has to pay whatever the gambling landlord demands to make good his losses or insure his profits. Such a situation is interesting, indeed, when it is considered that Japanese who are not citizens—who care for nothing but the money they can seize—have at their mercy the families of thousands of Americans. We wonder about how long a selfish clique of Ameri- can landlords would be allowed to set a third of the population of Tokyo on the streets, and what chance an outlander lease gambler would have to loot any Jap- anese city in competition with the citizen businessmen. This is the only country tat is good-natured enough, and unselfish enough, to adlow aliens to hold it up; aye, so kindly disposed are we to our over-lords that in Sort of Warms You All Up Inside.
