Al41 not procured by duress of the existing conditions It ie diffi- cult to see upon what moral Grounds a landlord can object because the law requires him to prove a fair contract and honest dealing with his tenant, before the drastic remedies of the law are placed at his disposal. The new laws in effect guarantee every landlord a fair rental and the one thing that they prevent ig the use of the machinery of the courts to enforce contracts whioh the landlord cannot prove were fairly obtained, Ours would be » poor system of juriapru- dence, if this had not always been the law. The new lawe, further guarantee the landlord the immediate possession of his Property if he has any reat, hon- eat purpose in putting a tenant out, but this seems almost axio- matio—if a landlord has prem- lees suitable for ocoupancy, for whieh tis only w to lease them to tenants, then the tenant whe is in possession and is not long as he pays is any other ten- ant can be required to pay. Every indiard has the right under the new laws to get every dollfr in rent that the premises are worth and which he can get from any tenant without taking advanti of the tenant's inability to find another home and thus accom- plishing what in law amounts to fraud and duress. UP TO TENANTS TO BE BE FAIR TOO. The new laws go further ahd safeguard the practical matter of the landlard’s collection of his rent and no tenant can take ad- vantage of the new laws withou depostt for payment to the laudlord each month the rent laat paid by Dim or agreed to be paid him. The only way tn which he new laws can disadvantage- ously affect a landlord ‘ia where the landlord, prior to the firet of October, was leasing his prem- ises for leas anh they were worth, and in this case all the landiord bag to do is to prove the facts, recover judgment, and cole the balance with costs against the tenant. Every lund- lord in New York City can reat eesured that if he properly fol- lows the new laws the worst that can happen to him ts to collect not later than the fifth of Novem- ber the Octaber rent at the Sep- lect tember rate, and similarly to collect each month thereafter, and finally to collect such ad- ditional sum as he can’ prove was & fair increase on Octoberl. It In now up to the gies to act fairly with “thelr Tandiords and if tenants generally show a desire to get even or to attempt the new jaws will al- most certainly be attacked at the next sesaion of the Legislature, 1 feel confident that if the ter now loft to higher courts, which should have takea | cognizance of it much sooner, the serious situation which threatened the city on October 1 has sbeen avoided and the flox!bil{ty and efficacy of our great constitution- al system again demonstrated. > WALLIS NAMES DONOHUE. | Become reprisals “ the migratio Immigration Commissioner Wallis to- [day announced the appointment of P. ‘a.
