Dear Sir-At a meeting OF the the
atrIcal managers and exhibitors held
at the Chamber OF Commerce of
directed to write to you and your as
sociates relative to the proposed in
crease Of admission taxes.
You are well aware Of the volun-
tary offering of stage and screen to
every branch of our Government for
the purpose Of aiding to win the war
for the past four years. The selling
of bonds, United States stamps, Red
Cross work. community war work, re-

hardship, but this would be much
more so, especially in Washington,
where the burden would fall on SOL
diers, war workers, and Government
employees. We, therefore, ask for your
consideration and assistance not to
increase the tax for admissions.

NEW Y0RK'S THEATER
MEN PROTEST INCREASE

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-Members Of
the United Managers Protective Asso-
citation, which includes representa-
tives from every branch of theatrical
endeavor, met yesterday afternoon in
the New York Theater Building. They
protested against the proposed in
crease of the theater war tax from 10
per cent to 20 per cent.
Marc Klaw, president of the associ-
alton, presided. He said the time had
come for the theatrical interests to
take definite action. The bill increas-
ing the tax has passed the House, he
saidS and is ready for submission by
the Finance Committee to the Senate.
Personal Appeals.
A telegram was framed to be sent
to every prominent actor and actress
in the country, asking for a personal
appeal to the White House to halt the
passage of the bill.
Mr.. Klaw said:
Almost every other industry has
had Government help and considera-
ton during the war period, and it
looks as though we are being dis
eliminated against.
IF this proposed tax becomes
law it will mean that every theater
patron will have to pay 20 per cent
on his ticket, and 1t will mean the
closing down Of one-night stand
shows, which will not be able to
bear the expense"
Supported Drives.
William A Brady called attention
to the support the theaters had given
the Government during the liberty
loan and war savings stamp drives
IS well as the charitable work it had
done in helping the Red Cross. He
said the industry should now "re-
ceive some consideration at the HANDS
Of the Government"

manager OF the Moore theaters, in q
statement Issued today.
The moving picture industry
throughout the, country has been
strained to the breaking point by
taxes imposed during the war and the
increased cost Of production" he said.
"An the moving picture interests

QUESTIONABLE BANK
ING

The Nonpartisan League now in
full control 10 the affairs and fl
nances OF North Dakota has gone
long way toward establishing a So
coiallstic form of government in that
state.
North Dakota now has full author
.ty to enter into competition with
private enterprise in the state and by
official power and prestige will drive
it to the wall. State owned under
takings naturally will pay no taxes,
hence the general taxpayers must
make up the leficit together with adj
ditional expense entailed by state OPP
Grafton.
North Dakota's banking scheme, in
the opinion dt-the Chicago Daily
News, is the most dubious and start
ling feature" OF the league program.
The bill provides that all state,
county, township. municipal, school
and other public funds as well as the
funds of penal, Industrial and edu-
cational institutions shall be with
drawn from the national, state and
private banks and placed with the
commonwealth bank. This means
the withdrawal of more than $780,
100000 from the present banks, thus
Gripping private institutions.
Whether the political bank man
agement is likely to be sound and
conservative is q serious question.
Partian and fractional politics in the
handling OF the banks funds and de-
posits win undoubtedly creep in.

tween private banks and their pat

name element will enter about as

one.

ton could be reopened by either
party at six months interval.
The first six months expired April
