MOVIE MASTERS
BANQUET VISITORS
AT ALATE HOUR
FRANK H. RICHARDSON IS
HONORED IN HOUSE
OF HIS FRIENDS.
Former Colorado Labor Editor, Now a
Mogul in Moving Picture World,
Comes Back With Bank Roll
and Long Reel of Good
Spot Light Talk.

One hundred movie operators, pic
ture show theater managers and film
exchange men came together Monday
night at the Royal restaurant to par
ticipate in banquet given in honor of
Frank H. Richardson of New York,
projection editor of the Movie World,
who is on an extensive tour of the
United States. The function was ar
ranged by Local Union No. % Inter
national Association of Theatrical
Stage Employees and Moving Picture
Operators of the United States and
Canada. 1t began at 1:30 p. m. and
was kept moving at rapid projection
rate until $3.50 a. m. Otto F. Thum,
an old-time friend of Mr.. Richardson,
acted as toastmaster.
The guest of honor delivered an in
teresting and valuable address, cover
ing two hours, but full of pep and spot
lights all the way thru.
Local color encompassed the occa-
sion from the fact that Mr.. Richardson
is a Denver and Colorado man, and
the banquet was made a sort of re-
union between old-time labor men be-
side the speaker of the evening, such
as Harvey Garman, p. J. Devault,
Ralph Moser, Ed. Mays, Otto F. Thum.
Ed. Anderson, and half dozen others.
Ed. Shields of the operators was mas
ter of ceremonies, not only for the
banquet, but for the entire day and
night, and many a heart was gladdened
by renewal of pleasant recollections.
Old timers will remember Richard
son as the editor Of the Pueblo Courier
just before he left the state some
fifteen years ago. Close study and
application has made him a world
wide authority on the subject he han
RADIO rejoice.
Monday noon the party visited the
home of Ralph Moser, 3795 Meade
street, where reel of movies was
taken showing Richardson, Garman,
Thum and Moser renewing old time
friendships.

WHO WILL PAY?
BY SCOTT NEARING.

When the war began the American
people were told repeatedly that this
was not to be rich mans war and
n poor mans fight" The rich were
to shoulder the financial burdens in
the same spirit that the poor shoul-
dered the burdens of campaigning. 1t
was taken for granted that the bank
ers. manufacturers and real estate
operators would not see active service
most Of them We're too old for that,
but il was expected and confidently
asserted that they would be generous
in their support of the war.
Public confidence in the intention of
the business interests to finance the
war received rude shock when the
two billion Libeyty Loan was adver-
tised to the country on the installment
plan. The business interests do not
rule buy on the installment basis.
Working people do buy that way. Ap-
parcntly the business interests were
depending on the working people to
finance the war as well as TO fight it.
There are hundred banking firms in
the country that could easily have
carried the entire loan-S20 900 900 to
each firm. There are n hundred bust
ness concerns that could have done
likewise. But they did not do it!
Instead they asked the people to do
the buying.
Folks began talking about it.
The people were asking who would
pay for the war, after all. They were
they be compelled to put up the money
for the bond issue, too?
Then came the revenue bill. During
the past two months incomes both per-
sonal and corporate have scared sky
ward. A few people have been making
hundreds of millions. The revenue bill
proposes to take n small fraction of
this huge increase. But in addition to
that, the bill proposes considerable
increases of the tax rate on beverages,
cigars and tobacco, advertising and
insurance, transportation, manufac-
turing, stamp tax, and n further tax
in the form of increased postal rates.
In other words, the measure proposes
to tax the things which the average
man uses. The money is to be raised
from the consumer-the man in the
street.
With astounding frankness the
house committee MAY Q, 1910 on
page two of its report, states its posi-
ton: "Gour committee believe that
the American people were never in
more favorable condition to pay n rea-
sonable amount of taxes for war pur-
poses in addition to those for normal
purposes than at the present time.
Your committee has endeavored to dis
tribute equitably this additional bur
den of taxation and so to levy the
proposed taxes ms to necessitate rs
little readjustment or disturbance to
business as possible"
Business is not to be disturbed. The
people are to pay. This is democ-
racy. we are told. but when it comes
to raising revenue. the world over, the
same crowd pays the bill.
