HEAVY PENALTIES

THE city ought to be allowed to say
what kind of pictures shall and what
kind shall not be shown here. 1t is local
government. A board appointed by the
governor has no right to come to this
city and dictate as to the kind of pic
lures we shall see regardless of our own
tastes. The bill now before the legis-
lature provides for three censors. 1t is
not just that any three people in this
state should propose to say what is good
for all the rest of the states population
to see on the screen for amusement or
education. II there is going to be a
board it should be a large one and should
be composed of people from all walks OF
life. The national boards / understand
are composed of hundreds of people rep
resentative of all classes
The city ordinance now in effect pro-
vides for punishment of violators of the
ordinance to the extent of fine of not
more than 500 and Imprisonment for a
period of not longer than six months
1t makes the production in this city
of forbidden pictures unlawful The or
dinance covers the phraseology of film

ORDER A REVIEW

In event circumstances prevent the
commissioner of public safety from see.
ing a picture thought to be unworthy.
the ordinance gives him the authority
to appoint someone to review the picture
and order any part of it cut out or that
the entire picture be prevented from be-
ing shown here. The exhibitor then has
the right to appeal from this decision to
the city commission, which body makes
the final decision
Birmingham is absolutely protected
by this ordinance and needs no state
law on the same subject said H. Scud-
der Ryall, secretary of the city commits.
sion. 1T is as drastic as anyone could
ask and broad enough to eliminate an,
picture that might prove offensive. With
it this city needs no further laws or
assistance from the state. 1t is abso.

patronage. The city has interested itself
In every way in the countys welfare on
the expectation of serving the entire
county and of having the seat of gov
eminent here. To remove the county
center for a large number of the people

would be a great injustice to both the

from the loss of business that by every
