Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 307, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 26 December 1913 — THE LAND SHYSTER. [ARTICLE]

THE LAND SHYSTER.

[National Crop Improvement Service.] Farm, Stock and Home, says: “The way to ‘get’ the shyster is to put the real estate business under the supervision of the state, and require of the’dealer a bond for the performance of his contract. The time has gone by when the legitimate business can longer afford to tolerate the land pirate.” Another, and we think the best way, is to list and advertise all realestate with the Farm Bureau and handle only such lands as have the price guaranteed for one year.-- The Real Estate Committee has another great duty to perform and that is to see that the settler is not strapped before he gets a crop.
