worse, than The Inside of the White
Slave Traffic. in my opinion. Its eX-
hibition to the public would have been
a fragrant violation of the law. The
chief scene in the motion play shows
the interior of a house to which country
girls and immigrants, after being kid
naped, are taken for immoral purposes.
My impression of the picture was thar

that were being mistreated by Simon
Legree sort of person with huge whip
or blackjack. The natural inference is
that actions of an unlawful character
follow, and the picture In my opinion
was by great odds contrary to the pub
lie morals of the community"
"Our picture Traffic IN Souls said
Manager Taylor, of the Belasco, ''is a
good. clean picture. 1t is one that
points q moral and would be a vast
benefit. IL shows the dangers to which
young women are subject, and to which
some Of them innocently subject them
selves. 1t would do vast good TO
show il.
These pictures are remarkable and
competent Of doing great good do
not say this because l am connected
with the theater, but because I believe
in them. We were permitted to show
but two reels to the police censors,
while the show has six reels. They
should be shown in every city and town
in the land to show to young girls and
their parents the dangers and pitfalls
that beset the paths of young girls who
leave nome to 20 to the big city"
If the police finally insist and order
that the pictures be not shown we will
not invite arrest. We do not want to

AONEYTRuST INQUIRY TOSTOP
-AcK NEEDED POWER, SAYS THE
PuJo COMMITTEE.
Because Banks Have Denied Informa.
ton to Investigators Hearings
viii Be Suspended.

Washington. - Hearings of the
House committee which has been in.
vestigating the money trust will be
suspended next Friday or Saturday.
according to an announcement by
Representative Pujo, chairman Of the
committee. He assigned as the prin-
eipal reason for the suspension the
doubt cast upon the power of the
committee to inquire into the inter-
nal affairs of banking institutions.
This action" Representative Pujo
said in a statement explaining the
announcement, lis due mainly TO the
doubt cast by the banks upon the
power Of the committee to inquire
into their internal affairs and espe-
cially to their refusal to disclose the
names of individual loans and bor-
rowers of upwards of one million
dollars which would affect only thir-
teen institutions in the United States.
without this information, and in
the absence of means of ascertaining
the character of the business done
by the banks that have made huge
profits in comparatively short time,
1t is manifestly impossible for the
committee to ascertain whether, and
if so, to what extent, these banks and
their funds have been and are being
used by the great financial interests
In the furtherance of their schemes
or to the exclusion Of competing
business"

ASKS new TAX SYSTEM
ASSESS ALL PROPERTY AT ITS
FAIR CASH VALUE.
Governor Mcdonald Makes Important
Recommendations to New Mex
leo Legislature.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Santa Fe, n. M.-Members Of the
Legislature listened with marked inter-
est to the message of Governor w. c.
Mcdonald, which embraced recon-
mendations fer legislation to that
body, which has formally entered upon
a sixty-day session.
A new system of taxation for the
state, whereby all property will be as
sessed at its cash value" and law
to enforce such assessments alike
against the large corporations and the
small property owners, are the most
important recommendations in Cover
nor McDonald's message.
Thus will it be possible" says the
governor, ito increase the assessed
valuation of property in the state from
S73,000,00O, the present figure, to $780,
100000, and thereby reduce the state
tax levy from thirteen mills to two
mills"
In closing his message. the governor
says:
This is a progressive age. He who
lags, may be lost. The initiative and
referendum are being demanded from
one end Of the country to the other
You should propose amendments to
the constitution, including the referen-
dunn provision and providing for an
initiative on a fair basis. The people
of our state have decided that they
will rule. Their will must eventually
be controlling in the laws they desire"
The session is expected to be fea-
tured by the enactment of many need
ed laws. That the present Legisla-
ture will enact progressive legislation
to large extent seems assured, judg-
ing from the universal approval among
the solons OF the governors recon-
mendatiOns, which for the most part
are extremely progressive.
