MONOPOLIES.

RIGHT MONOPOLIES. - Mr..
Wells would, if possible, abolish the
confusion that binders clear think
ing in some minds. Perhaps we
could work together to achieve that
end, even though we do not agree as
to the fundamental cause of our pres
ent social problem.
If we did absorb by means of tax
alton the full rental value of land
what chance would we have, though
we had factory site, of erecting a,
modern-equipped plant thereon?
What chance is there of building up
a successful business? How long
would we last under system of free
and unrestricted competition with
the large corporations, such as the
oil trust? Could we, as small manu-
facturers utilize all the by-products
as economically as these large cor
porations or would small scale pro-
duction be wasteful?
In the Standard Oil refinery petro-
leum yields kerosene, gasoline, lu-
bricating oils, parafin, aniline dyes,
coal tar, vaseline, drugs of all varie-
ties, benzol and even the chief con-
stituents of rubber. Could the small
manufacturer afford to purchase the
necessary equipment for the utiliza-
ton of these by-products?
To say that the small manufacture
er had chance with these large cor
porations would be folly. Here at
least we have a scientific, systematic
form of production, which, apparent
ly, Mr.. Wells is opposed to, for in his
last article he closes with the state
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1915-12-18

ment: "The abolition of land monop-
oily will enable the people to make
short work of all minor monopolies. "
Labor-saVing machinery is now be-
ing invented at such a pace that
thousands of workers are thrown out
of employment annually. Skilled
workers % years ago received on an
average of 81 day; today they re-
ceive on an average of So. Formerly
they created a product of about SIS in
value; today they produce product
of SO in value, and if the invention
of machinery continues at the same
pace in another quarter of a century
the worker will be producing $40
worth of value and receive but a 81
wage. What Is going to be his fate
in so or 100 years? Twenty-Five
years ago he was exploited the diff
ference between two and FIVE; today
it is a difference between 8 and 10.
Back in the eighties the worker
could not buy with 81 his SIS product,
and as his producing power increases
instead of getting closer to his pro-
duct he is getting farther from it.
This is why we have panics, with the
warehouses filed with products, but
no money to buy back the wealth we
socially created.
l am for the monopolistic form of
production because there is no waste
therein; because they can best ascer-
tain the demand and regulate the
supply accordingly, and because it is
the only scientific form of production
there is. But want the people to be
the monopolists.-John n. SoIIer.

Fairbanks Declare eS
Acting for Screen
Same as Acting
on the Stage

Another motion picture tradition
has been broken.
Motion picture traditions. be 1t
understood. are about Ave years old
at the outside. and consequently
very tender and easily damaged.
Douglas Fairbanks Is the person ac-
cused OF breaking the most sacred
tradition of the pictures. Young Mr..
Fairbanks made quite success on
the stage because he knew how TO
do something more than simply
memorize the lines the author wrote
for him. He really acted the part
OF the character the author had
created and used the lines for the
exposition OF that character when II
could not be exposed otherwise or to
assist in an acting exposition OF II.
Hence Mr.. Fairbanks became
success on the stage. Then he was
engaged by the Triangle Company
to play In pictures. and. utilizing
exactly the same methods he had
used on the stage, except that he
spoke no lines his audience could
hear. Mr.. Fairbanks Immediately be-
came a success on the screen as a
motion picture actor. And then he
proceeded to smash a tradition-THE
tradition Of the incompetents among
motion picture actors-by declaring
that real acting is just the same
whether II II done on the stage or
before camera!
Except for the use OF the voice"
announces Mr.. Fairbanks. there is
absolutely no difference between
acting on the stage and in motion
pictures. Acting wherever found IL
acting. II begins In the heart. Is
edited by the brain, and expresses
itsclf through the body I believe
that any acting value possible on
the dramatic stage can be registered
on the screen once the basic fact is
understood that acting is acting.
whether on the stage or before the
camera.
The prevalence Of the spoken line
in the theater has led audiences TO
plsce too much stress--to center too
much attention upon It, Go into any
theater and disregard the lines. You
will find that the players are con-
stantly expressing emotion through
their bodies. And so II Is before
the camera. There was n time when
the motion picture camera was very
imperfect. Then the PLAYERS went
believe that In the days OF the old
apparatus to act slowly became a
tenet Of a school.
II do not mean to deny that In
specific cases there may be reasons
for slow acting. But. in general.
believe that the rate OF movement
used on the dramatic stage gives
the best results. whether for comedy
or drama. This Is but another point
the stage and before the camera are
practically the same" @ NJ

MANN MAY DECLINE

Minority Leader, It Is Declared,
Will Throw Choice on Party
Members.

Tint House Minority Leader Jim"
Mann will decline to MI the Republican
committee places and will insist on the
Republicans of the House undertaking
this task themselves. is the Information
which reached Washington today. II
Mr.. Mann. takes this course. the House
Republicans In caucus will name n
committee on committee assignments
and tits committee will proceed to MI
the committee places.
II In said to be probable that the
Republicans will name a real commit
tee on committees. The Democrats In
theory have one. but II Is made up Of
the Democratic members of the Ways
and Means COMMITTEES. This gives the
ways and means Democrats extraordi-
nary powers and makes the chairman
of the Ways and Means Committee the
most powerful single factor In the
House.
Another interesting fact concerning
The makeup OF the House committees
IL that the Republicans will demand
more positions on committees than they
had In the last Congress. In the last
Congress. the Republicans had one place
to two for the Democrats. But the
Republicans In the House are almost as
numerous as the Democrats and they
will insist that there be nearly as many
Republicans on committees as members
sist on n proportion OF about four TO
five. so that on big committees there
will be two fewer Republicans than
Democrats, and on small committees
one fewer Republican. Just how much
the Democrats will concede to the Re-
publicans remains to be seen.
