TRUSTS MULCT PEOPLE MORE
THAN WAR.

The war is now costing Great
Britain s3O,OOO,O0O a day, or, say,
$40, 100000 a year.
That is astounding enough. But a
more astounding thing is that the
war is costing the American people as
much per week and per year as it is
costing the British people.
The trusts and monopolies have
used the war as pretext for charg-
ing the American people considerably
over a billion dollars more for the
necessities of life than they were
charged in 1915.
Now, when Great Britain borrows
and spends 5000, 10000 in year,
she never expects to pay the principal
of the loan. She will pay interest
only, and that at not over per cent
in the long run. So we may say that
the war is costing the British people
this year the interest on her total
borrowing for war purposes, which
interest may be roughly set down as
about $500, 100000.
And this huge sum is actually not
so large by 2O0,000,00O as the in
creased taxes the trusts and monopo-
lies have levied on the sugar, meat,
flour, coffee, milk, butter, vegetables,
rents, coal, gasoline and other actual
necessaries of life this year.
The country consumed 35,O00,OOO
barrels of gasoline in 1915, and will
consume more this year. AS part of
the war tax levied on the American
people, the gasoline trust alone has
laid surtax on industry amounting
to over $15O,OO0, 900 since war was
declared in Europe.
In the year ending June 80, 1915,
S,625, 793,32S pounds of sugar were
consumed in this country. At this
rate, the Sugar Trust has laid war
tax of $12O,762,106 on the American
people in the past year.
The Meat Trust has increased the
wholesale price of meats about 20
per cent on the average.
The fluctuations in meat prices
make 1t impossible to estimate accur-
ately the increased war tax put on
the American people by the Meat
Trust, but an estimate of $200,000,-
600 would not be far out of the way.
There are about 5000, 100000 gal
Ions of milk consumed yearly in this
country in different terms. A direct
and indirect increase of 1 cent a
quart means war tax of $S20,OOO,-
900 on those who use milk, butter
and cheese.
When we add to these taxes on
American consumers the extortions
of the Flour Trust, the Coal Trust,
the Paper Trust, and the increased
rents and transportation charges due
to these extortions, you see, do you
not, that we Americans, though at
peace, are paying more for this in
fernal European war than the richest
of the nations who are keeping up
this wicked and hellish struggle?

Talks With Screen-Struck Girls

make personal application with as
many different producing firms as
possible. Let the party who has
charge of the employing see the child,
and be sure to leave good photo
graph with the child's name and the
telephone number plainly written on
the back. These photographs are
most useful when a director is hurry
ing through his files to find a kiddie
for some small part that has suddenly
developed. / believe that he finds a
naturally posed picture always the
most instructive. Consequently it is
the most liable to bring employment.
There are many considerations
that enter into the selecting of chill
dren for motion picture roles. For
instance, the last youngster, little
girl, who appeared in cast with me,
had to play with my Russian wolf
hound. While the soul of amiability,
the dog is monstrous and bit terri
flying to the average four-and-a-half-
year-old. AS a result we had five
tots over to the studio before we
found one with the courage for the
role.
Beside being bright and attractive,
a child performer must be obedient'
This is most important, since other
wise there would be no possibility of
getting the scenes rightly done. Good
home training will. go long way to-
ward getting a child chance in pic
lures. If the impression it first
makes is one of meddlesomeness or
disobedience to you, if it seems rude
or unruly, the director will want to
keep it as far away from the stage as
possible.

BURSTING A BUBBLE.

The Democrats who sought a crit
icism from DR.. Charles W. Eliot Of
Mr.. Hughes acceptance of the presi-
Dental nomination got one, but not
the kind they wanted. Dr. Eliot was
heartless. Instead Of helping the Dem
ocrats keep the supreme court bubble
in the air he pricked it with a pin
when In his letter he said of Mr..
Hughes action:
Most Americans will think that,
having tried the life of a governor and
the life Of a justice of the supreme
court, he had a right to give effect to
his preference for political service"

While this is scarcely in line with
my declared purpose of giving my
bits of advice to the screen struck"

low myself to neglect my girls to
the extent of chatting more particu-
larly with the mothers about the de-

There are a few companies which
make a speciality of youngster plays,
but they are so few that they are but
a drop in bucket as compared to the
multitude of kiddies whose parents
would like to see them in pictures.
All companies, however, have more
or less call for child performers, the
extent of the demand depending, OF
course, on the particular plays under
production. 1t is never as great as
the applications on file.
The large concerns, which operate
a number of producing companies at
time, often find it advisable to
keep two or three children perma-
nently engaged. Naturally they Sc

used at various times, those who are
the most apt and easily directed.

Ashland, Ore, Monday, Sept. 4, 1916
PAPER TRUSTS GREED running
LITTLE PAPERS.

Secretary Houston has published
report on the shortage and high price
of print paper. Boiled down to its
meaning, this sapient report finds
that there is shortage of paper and
that excessive prices are demanded
and expresses hope that the short
age will end when the war ends.
When he comes to the Paper
Trusts lair, the secretary roars as
gently as a sucking dove.
This is an attitude very character
istic of the present democratic ad-
ministration. But it ought not to be.
Because 1t means ruin to hundreds OF
useful little newspapers-all the
more useful because they are little,
and therefore out of the horizon OF
corrupting corporations.
These weaker newspapers of the
country are being strangled out OF
existence by the grip of the most ex-
tortionate and outrageous trust that
this country has ever seen.
The strong papers, of course, can
take care Of themselves under any
conditions, and in addition most of
the strong papers have long-term
contracts to protect them.
One would think that the little pa
pers would be the concern of party
which calls itself democratic. But
the country had to wait for the lead
er of the republican party in the
house, Mr.. Mann, to introduce a reso-
luton investigating this offensive
and oppressive trust. Now the best
the democratic administration can do
in this critical situation is to offer a
report by Secretary Houston which
declares that it is possible that the
paper shortage may not continue af-
ter the war.
No one knows how long the war
will last, and by that time half the
little papers in the United States will
be out of business; so that even II
Secretary Houston's optimistic atti-
tude we're justified, the suppression
of about half the papers in the United
States-and those the independent
small papers and country papers.
which do the most good and are the
least controlled by corporation influ-
ences-w would be put out Of business.
A fine prospect for a democratic
administration, supposed to be op-
posed to trusts and interested in the
mass of the people, to contemplate
with equanimity!
As matter of fact, there is no par
ticular, genuine paper shortage.
There is a corrupt and illegal COM
bination among paper manufactur-
ers, largely artificial shortage Of
paper and a selfish and sordid de-
termination to extract the last dollar
out of this situation, no matter what
calamity may befall the press or the
public.
With an election impending, the
democratic administration, however,
can not be expected to offend the
powerful print paper corporations
and to endanger the possible cam
paign contributions from that source.
On the contrary, we may even ex-
pect to see the more liberal of these
campaign contributors appointed to
ambassadorships abroad or to other
positions of honor and dignity in case
the democratic administration is sue
cessful.-Examiner
