Crowded houses were in evidence at every performance at the Davis yes terday and the photoplay bill more than came up to expectations Mae Murray the famous Paramount star, and Louise Glaum, the Triangle Pea cock woman, were both seen in won derfuI productions and 1t is hard to determine which was the better as both pictures appealed to all who saw them. Mae Murray appears in the Flow Girl, a LaSky production, which carries the spectator through many climes and is interesting from begin ming to end.
 The Triangle feature which Miss Glaum appears in is called A Strange Transgressor For the first time in her career Miss Glaum appears with the famous Triangle Riddles in this pro- duction. To complete the show there is funny Triangle comedy called His Thankless Job.
 Next week Douglas Fairbanks ap- pears in Down to Earth, his newest Aircraft offering. On the same bill with Fairbanks is Bessie Love, the dainty Triangle star, in The Sawdust Ring. a f1ve-part delightful story of circus life. Also His Sudden Rival, a corking comedy that is made for laughing purposes only.

If Luther Burbank is not mistaken in the promise of a "superwheat" which he has created by plant breeding he has got something that will revolu- tionize grain production in the United States by producing from 50 to 70 bushels of wheat an acre where ordin- ary wheat now yields IS or 20 bushels The world is going to need that kind of help and a newspaper writer who has talked to Mir. Burbank at Santa. Rosa, Cal. found him confident of making his forecase good in this important matter-Spirngfeld Republican.

WITH THE EDITORS
CHAMPIONS OF THE "PEEPUI "
(ChicaEO Tribune)

1t is a notable thing that many OF
the men who have done their utmost
to hinder and embarrass the govern.
ment in prosecuting the war are the
very men who are seeking to impose
excessive taxation on the country
The agitation for paying for the war
as we go along was begun last April
by a group of pacifists and German
sympathizers. It's principal exponent
in congress at the present time is
Senator La Toilette, who has fought
practically every war measure pro-
posed by the government.
These things should be remembered
because LaFollette and his followers
are now posing as champions of the
"peepul." 1t is his great desire for
the national welfare and his great
sympathy for the people at large, La
Toilette would have us believe, that
impel him to plead for the "conscrip-
ton of the nations wealth. He loves
the ''peepul' so much that he want to
tax them to the extent of $500, OOO,-
600
These self-appointed spokesman for
the common people assure us that
their taxation scheme will let us all
off scot-free, with the exception of the
very wealthy. 1t is very simple; they
will take the money from the pockets
of the rich, thus relieving the rest of
us of the necessity of paying a cent.
1t sounds like the millennium Of
taxation But in the nature of things
it cannot work out except to produce
disaster. In the first place, the money
is not in the pockets of the rich. 1t
is invested in business enterprises:
the profits of one year become the
capital of the next.
The year 1916 was q year of large
profits for business corporations, and
it was likewise period of great in
dustrial expansion. Wages were high
and labor was at a premium. The
money that was earned was not seq
regarted or isolated from the common
fund; it was devoted to building new
,enternrises,- and it produced general
