WAR MOVIE TAKES
LIKELY TO REMAIN
Sentiment Against Repeating
Them Is Shown at Com
mittee Hearing.
Special Despatch TO TUE su,.


WASHINGTON, Oct. THAT war mov-
ing picture taxes will not be repealed
was made evident to-day when represen-
tatives of the film interests appealed to
the House Ways and Means COMMITTEES
for abolition or reduction of this class
of taxes, as carried in the last revenue
law.
Sentiment disclosed In the committee
questions to-day indicated practical
unanimity against the repeal of these
taxes because Of the large revenues still
required by the Government, and there
is little doubt that the Senate will back
this opinion.
Representative Fordney (Mich.). chair
man of the committee. announced his
opposition to the repeal because 1t would
mean loss Of ss6, 900. 900 in taxes dur
ing the year when the Federal Treas
ury Is expected to show deficit OF
more than $2,000.000.o Representa-
tive Kitchin On. c. declared he be-
lieved that moving picture taxes in some
form would be continued indefinitely.
Charles Pettijohn of Indianapolis
chairman of the legislation committee Of
the National Association of the Moving
Jersey City. appeared before the commit
tee to urge the repeal. Both declared
that he attendance at moving picture
theatres during the last few months
showed loss of hundreds of thousands
and sought TO place the responsibility on
the admission taxes.
Representatives Fordney and Long
worth (Ohio) took issue with them and
said the blame rested on the theatre
owners themselves. who had contracted
the profiteering habit and had Increased
prices of admission.
Mr.. Pettijohn asserted the moving pic
ture industry had been Disseminated
against In taxes and that no other busi-
ness had to pay three taxes, as the chean
theatres did. This. however, also was
denied by Mr.. Fordney
Three taxes are levied against the
moving picture business" Mr.. Pettijohn
said. "One is the 10 per cent. tax ON
admissions, another Is the per cent. tax
on films, and the third is the gradua ted
tax on the seating capacity of theatres"
Mr.. Pettijohp recommended the abol-
ishment OF taxes on admissions under
26 cents. Mr.. Hespe wanted the other
two taxes eliminated, asserting that
moving pictures were educational and
should be exempted In the same meas
ures as are newspapers and periodicals.
Moving pictures should be encour-
aged during the present unrest" Mr..
Pettijohn said. "for they will be big
factor in allsying the wave of bolshe-
vism spreading over the country. As far
as know the industry has never offered
picture that put radical activity in a
favorable light. Instead OF placing all
these taxes on the cheap entertainments,
my opinion is that the Government
should derive more revenue from high
priced shows. operas and prize fights
''rhe moving picture industry was In
jured by the Government itself produc-
ing films during the war. although most
of their productions were jokes"

ayers began again. ana Mayor Joseph
r. Riordan decided to settle the thing
once for all.
The fight against the movies was led
for fifteen years by the Rev. Maurice r.
OConnor, rector OF the Church of the
Holy Cross. He launched the attack ut
a time when motion pictures were III
the early stages of development. and It
was said that some films IN particularly
bad taste were shown. When the Rev
OConnor died several years ago his
successor, the Rev. George L. Fitx-
patrick, took up the cudgels. He has
been aided in the fight by the solid
backing Of his congregation. which MIN.
