PEOPLES THEATER NOW
IN C0NSADINE CIRCUIT

The Peoples, late, and now to be the
Novelty theater, is to be reopened
March 70 as a 10 and 20 cent vaude-
vile house, with the attractions booked
by the Consadine circuit. The house
will be run in opposition to the other
vaudeville theaters here, the plan being
to cut in between the Orpheum and
the 10-cent shows. It's location, oppo-
site the Burbank in Main street, is
a good one but the house, though a
handsome one, seating 1000, has never
paid, through i'll management largely.
1t is expected now to put plenty of
money back of it and to make it a
factor in local theatricals.
John Consadine is the vaudeville mag
nate of the northwest, and is heavily
interested in theaters and attractions
of various sorts. He is immensely
wealthy, and this, it is supposed, is
merely a beginning for his figuring
largely in local affairs.

Largest Fraternity in the World
GEORGE BARNUM TO LEAVE
LOS ANGELES MARCH 23

George Barnum, late stage director
of the Belasco theater, will leave Los
Angeles March 23 for New York. He
has his ticket and has refused all Of
fers to remain, both from the Belasco
and Dick Ferris at the Auditorium.
He has even put his decision in black
and white under his signature, so it
seems undoubtedly true.
This will cause general regret, as
it was hoped that he would remain
here. 1t is rumored that he will be
a factor in the new Alcazar theater,
the Belasco-Mayer house in San Fran
cisco, when that opens, but this is not
confirmed. Mary Graham, his wife, has
given her notice to the Belasco, and
will go with Mr. Barnum.
Plans are rapidly rounding to for the
big Barnum benefit to be held in the
Belasco the afternoon of March IL.
This will be a testimonial of unprece-
dented magnitude in local theatrical
circles. Seats and boxes will be sold
at auction, with Joseph Scott and Rev.
Robert Burdette welding the hammer,
and members of every company in
town will be participants in the affair.

CIGARETTES TO
De TAXED NEXT
COUNCIL COMMITTEE WANTS
REVENUE
Plan Is to Reduce Proposed Licenses
of Retail Cigar Dealers and Inn
pose Extra Fees on
"Coffn Nails"

The finance committee of the council
yesterday again discussed the question
of raising revenue through taxing the
cigar or cigarette trade.
| A special meeting will be held Mon
day morning before the regular council
| meeting at which time some recon-
mendation may be drawn up. City
Attorney Hewitt will look up laws in
other states meanwhile.
The raising of liquor licenses, selling
property on which taxes are delin-
quent and billboard taxes were also
discussed in the money-raising cam
paign that the committee is Waging.
Because of the absence of Councilman
Dromgold. the third member of the
committee, who is said to be out of
the city, Councilmen Wallace and
Blanchard preferred to hold over their
decision.
Chairman Wallace spoke concerning
the chances of cutting down the quar-
terly tax as proposed on retail dealers
and instead making a higher tax on
the sale of cigarettes and cigarette
papers. He did not advocate the idea
merely discussed it.
City Attorney Hewitt mentioned that
the Indiana statute which prohibited
the selling and giving away Of cigar
cites and cigarette paper was used as
a model largely in anti-cigarette legis-
lation. and he agreed to get further
data on the subject.
The pending proposition is to tax
dealers who sell under SIS worth of
goods a day Sc a quarter; $25 to $50,
SIS quarter, and over $50, $25 q quar-
ter. This plan has met with opposition
of the trade, as it is argued that the
profits do not justify it and the small
dealers would be driven out of busi-
ness, the cigar trust thus being favored
with its branch stores
Councilman Blanchard said he fa-
vored not exceeding a 81 quarter tax
for the little fellows. The cigar deal
ers occupied but little space, he ar
gued, were convenience to the public
by furnishing phones and serving in
formation to strangers, and few of them
made any considerable profit.

NAME AGENCY Of
RIGHTS OF WAY
Finance Committee Agrees to Report
FaVorably on Needed Officer
to Be Paid with Bond
Money

The finance committee of the council
agreed yesterday to favorably report
the suggestion of the city attorney that
the office of right of way agent for the
city be created.
DR.. j. H. Martin has been doing this
work for the city for nearly three years.
Most of the work is in connection with
the board of public works in the outfall
sewer project, getting consent of prop
erty owners in culVert and similar feat
ures in connection with street improve
ment work and eventually in getting
land for the Owens river project.
The salary of the office will be paid
out of the bond money, and thus no
drain will be made on the city treas
ury. Demands are made Immediately
as the salary is paid, so that the cost
comes out of the bond issue.
Under the law no street improvement
work can be done in areas where water
courses must be rearranged until waiV-
ers are signed by property owners. AS
many of them live outside of the city
and state correspondence is often neces-
sary and diplomacy is needful with con-
serVative owners in order to get their
signatures.

If the acts were committed, the definitions of the penal code undoubtedly applied but it was vaguely felt that the penal code should have thought twice before fitting such ugly words to such fine gentlemen. Obviously, then. there was a demand for a nicer description of these deeds which were not nice Some of us felt the limitations of our lam gunge as never before. If we only had the Spanish facility in diminutfves we could have explained Mir. Perkins away in a deprecatory or vanishing ending. The nearest we could come to 1t in English would be to say that he was not bluntly criminal but criminalistic, or crimlnalistical, or even criminallsti calish.
 But helpful suggestion is now made by Prof. Edward A. Ross in the At- lantic. He writes of "The Crimina. loid." a term which he invents to cover persons in the same general category with MT. Perkins. They are the meu who have been guilty of nagitioUP practices when such things were conn mon and had not yet fallen under the condemnation of an alert and effective public opinion, These practices usu- ally though not always, run counter to the law. in its letter at least but have not in tho past been of the sort which people think Of as criminal; least of all is the culprit himself conscious of being a criminal. His attitude is often that of spiritual pride, and when a literal minded prosecuting attorney has him indicted for crime he indig- nantly talks of persecution" anu points sorrowfully 10 good men who die of broken hearts caused by the bounding of "1conoclasts." Well, If he objects to be called a criminal. let him take the softer word which Professor Ross offers as substitute. and call himself "criminaloid.'

ited with having mastered the great problem of transportation. But is the reputation deserved? Is the American railway executive a success, or in the light of the facts Is he a monumental failure?
 If the testimony of the stock ticker is taken as final his right to his lau- rels is indisputable. The railroad man of no other nation knows so well how to exploit the financial side of railway development. His genius in that lins Is unquestfoned.
 In the matter of the physical man. agement of railway properties his re- cord is not satisfactory. It is not too much to say that 1t Is one of lament able inefficiency He does not run his trains on time or run them safely. He shows himself unable to provide cars to meet the wants of the general ship per or to move the staple freight which is the basis of railroad earnings.

 Tested by these results-and 1t is by them that railroad manager's fitness must be iudged-he is culpably lncom- petent. A grocer who could not de- liver the goods to hls customers order ed and poisoned them with goods he did deliver would never be esteemed as brilliant business success
