Paris Theatre Goers Spend
EleUen Millions annually

Paris, June 8.-A good idea Of the
increasing amount of money that Is
spent in theatre going In Paris Is OBJ
tainable from figures Just published,
giving the receipts of the different
places OF amusement The gross re-
,ceipts of all, which amounted In 1850
to $1,700,OOO, had reached over SILL
ZOO, 900 in 1911. The last few years
show a steady rise Of from $5OO,OO0 to
81 ,00O, 900 a year. This is largely at
tributed to the opening of cinemato-
graph shows, and to the increased
popularity Of the summer and winter
music halls, concerts and cafe con-
'certs.
The great national theatres, like the
Comedie Franchise, the Opera and the
Odeon, have also shown an increase
in revenue, and the leading boule-
ward theatres have held their own
with handsome door receipts.
On the receipts of every theatre in
Paris the city levies a tax for the
Door, this money being distributed by
the society known as the Assistance
Publique. The poor have benefited
considerably from the increase OF rev.
enue. In 1850 they obtained only
s1sS,oOO but in 1911 their benefits had
jumped to s1,275,00O.

He should not be blamed for par

He is making good Marshal
he is collecting the taxes from the

But why should there not be bal

None of it has been expended on

art a jewel, but, oh, how many

because they had no notice, were
not permitted to vote, and ought to
yield, you seem to think, to mi
nority in the ratio of A to l. Say,
"Patron," what was it you said
about Consistency"
Why was any injustice done the
two members of the School Board
in not notifying them of the meet
ing until nightfall, if they had time
to get there and were present?
They didn't have to see anybody
before going, did they?
TO be fair and frank, I must say
that / do not approve the Boards
action in not electing Professor
johnson. I have helped to fight
his battles here for ten years, and
that, too, when a great many Of
those that are crying the loudett
now and trying to curry popular
favor by believing over Johnson's
defeat were fighting him to the
death-stabbing him from be.
hind-and [ stood up and fought
for him about year ago when
some of these same fellows, in or
der to encompass his defeat, down.
fall and ruin, were backing a pros
ecution against him in the criminal
court.
I'm for johnson, and now, since
Professor Moore has declined to
accept, let's make him principal.
What do you say to that, Old
"Patron" Saint? What was it you
said about consistency"
You say this endorsement of the
Board was no poltical move. Give
me the names of those present, and
/ will show you that every man
present-that had an invitation
and was wanted there-votes with
one political faction in every cleo
tion that comes. No one else had
an invitation.
You say, "aren't the streets in
better shape than ever before?"
If they are you should not collect
any more taxes to improve them.
They were not worked last year,
and if they are better by not work
ing them, quit right now. Who
paid for working the depot street,
and who did it? The Board GER
teinly does not claim any credit
for this work.
You ask if I hold the Board re-
sponsible for the bad roads and bad
weather. Why, no; why should L?
The board is responsible for things
that are possible that they fail to
do. Why, then, should they be
held responsible for the impossible
when they fail to do the possible?
You ask why I don't jump on
the Marshal. Why, he is not to
blame for being in that mass meet
ing. | know he was regarded as
being on the other side and was
not wanted, had no invitation, but
he had gone up there to wait on
the Board, and was caught there.

CONSISTENCY is A JEWEL ]"
Editor THE CHRONICLE:

~NA" NhnSNitbEs
Under the above head line some
one who signs himself "Patron"
attempts to answer few things
Taxpayer had to say in The Chron-
icle Of March Is. Patrons arti-
Gle appearing in the Citizen of the
22d instant, l therefore ask for
space to say just "leetle" more.
From the tenor of his article and
the name assumed he evidently de-
sires the public to think he is a
patron of the school and especially
interested in Professor johnson,
and / hope he il, for on these two
propositions he and I agree-if he
is sincere.
He asks me if I have paid my
1911 tax, and ] infer from this
question that if I have not l am
not entitled to speak out; there
fore, before going further, / shall
first attempt to prove my right to
speak and then get permission.
Yes, have contributed my mite
to make the treasury to overhowing
and thus boost the Board for re-
election, and in so doing / con-
tributed more than the com bined
contribution of four m members of the
Board, and more than any other
man on the Board except my friend,
81. F, Stigall.
Having done this much, Mr.
Mayor, am allowed to speak :?
Having done this much, did l, as
citizen and a taxpayer, have right
to be present at mass meeting of
the good citizens of the town and
help nominate ticket for the
Board? Did [ have right to be
heard as to who ] wanted to rep
resent me and assess taxes against
my property, and say for what
purpose taxes should be collected?
If I was denied the right, I was
denied the privilege, for l received
no invitation to be present; no, not
so much as an intimatiOn that the
mass meeting was going to be pull
ed off. But "Patron" says this has
ceased to be one mans town.
-"Patron," what was it you remark
ed about "Consistency?"
Why, he says, "the citizens didn't
have to ask me to let them meet"
That's true. The twenty-four men
that met over there didn't have to
ask anybody-for this has ceased
to be one mans town!
I assert as a fact that there was
not one-fiftlf Of the legal voters and
taxpayers of the town that knew
that mass meeting was going to be
pulled off, and that there was not
fifth of the legal voters of the town
,present when it was pulled off.
And yet we are advised that this
has ceased to be one man's town!
Who was the originator of that
scheme? Come on, "Patron," you
were there; tell us who conceived
the idea, and why more people were
mot given the tip?
Your attempted justification of
the "snap" convention by the action
of the School Board may be good;
lets see. You say the School Board
met between suns; 80 did your mass
meeting. You say two members Of
the School Board were completely
run over, meaning, [ presume, by
the action of the other four men,
-bers; in your mass meeting not
more than one-fifth of the voters
of the town completely ran over
four-fifths. You say two members
of the School Board were not noti-
fed of the meeting until nightfall;
four-fifths of the taxpayers of the
town were not notified Of your
mass meeting at4all.
