Morttm& 1W THE EVENING SEE Bill Prepared to Protect Heal Estate Buyers Omaha Real Estate Board Would Keep Unscrupu lous Dealer Out of Business. The legislative committee of tho Omaha Real Estate board this week 1 will begin' preparation of a license bill for real estate agents to bo pre sented at the next session of the Ne braska legislature. Tiie purpose of the bill, according to members of the committee, will be to "protect the public from incompe tent or irresponsible brokers and salesmen.” Although two former attempts have been made to obtain n real es tate license law for Nebraska, the realtors of the city and state are now hopeful of favorable action this year, because of the fact that 14 other states now have such laws operating successfully, and because the prin ciple of real estate license laws has been upheld by tho United States supreme court In u test case brought against the Tennessee license law. "A license law,” according to G. J. Mauel, former head of the state real tors' association, “will not keep any man of good character out of the business, but It will prevent an un scrupulous person from putting over a fake by advertising himself as a real estate broker." Tho following states now have li cense laws for realty dealers: Cali fornia, Arizona, Tenneesee, Illinois, New York, Wisconsin, New Jersey, Utah, Louisiana, Montana, Idaho, Michigan, Oregon and Wyoming.
