MOTION PICTURE
CENSORSHIP.
BILL UNDER FIRE
Would Be Unsatisfactory
When Tried Out Says
Opponents of Bill

MONTPELIER, VT, Feb. 15-That
there is enough law on the statute
books of Vermont at the present time
to take care of the movn- picture
situation through local regulation OF
licenses and active interest of popular
opinion; that H. 145, which would
provide a State censorship board for
moving pictures is discriminating
against a certain business and that
the bill as framed is unjust, objection
able and unconstitutional, was the
contention of Mr.. Wishart of Barre
city and others who spoke nst the
measure at the public hearing in the
reception room last evening conduct
ed by the general committee of the
House with Mr. Stearns of Johnson,
the chairman, presiding.
The moving picture men we're first
given an hour in which to present
their side of the case, and the nro
ponents of the measure were then
given one hour to defend the bill.
Judge Bracket came here at the
request of the moving picture men to
tell the experiences of Massachusetts,
in moving picture censorship. He said
that Calvin Coolidge, Judge Hu ,hcs
and President Harding have all
expressed themselves as opposed to
censorship on the ground thai it is
not in accord with the spirit of our
government. The speaker said that
when we talk about censorship films
we are dealing with a thing in which
there are rights which cannot be & K
en- away without a jury trial The
principles of self gOverrmnt he said,
are sacred in this country and the
Boston Transcript expressed the
whole situation when it said:
"If we have censorship in the Unit
cd States, who is going to put the
sense into the censor
II has been found in the four
States which have State censorship
now that il does not work out well
because nobody can agree on what
films should be passed and which oncs
should be excluded.
G. W. Wilson, supe, intcndcnt OF
the Vermont Industrial School at
Nergennes, was one of the strong st
speakers in behalf of the bill. He
said that when we come to answ
the question whether or not censor
ship in Vermont is desirable, he
thought that most everybody would
agree that the moving pictures 90
need censoring. He certainly thought
so from his experience in deolinr
with boys and girls who had beea
committed to his institution from TIE
courts of the State and he thought
that any judge that had to do with
young people would agree with him.

appointive one by the governor as it
now is. This is the bill that was in
troduced in answer to Governor Hart
ness declaration that he would not
reappoint Stoddard Bates as COM
missioner.
here is no one who cares 10 pre-
dict what the developments at the pu-
bic hearing will be. The indications
are that there will be many Bates
men at the bat h5 there was hardly
sufficient notice given of the meeting
to allow people from any distant
points to come to Montpelier and it is
from the people away from Montpe
lier that the governor is receiving his
maximum support.
That public opir;on is strongly
with the governor is indicated by the
remark of representatives who have
been at home over the week end and
have heard from the people who sent
them to Montpelier. The words from
one prominent member are indicative
u the conditions, He said:
Il n in mean situation. 'StCd' has

The nonpartisan leader., 1921-05-02
FROM AN OLD SAILOR

Editor Nonpartisan Leader: sail
ed all over the world for II years and
I found conditions much the same all
over. There are in every country
ruling class and working class. The
ruling class consists of a bunch of
grafters that do nothing but live off
the sweat of the laboring class. The
laws keep the people ignorant and
poor and the rich idle and vicious. The
laws today, as in the days of Isaiah,
enable the rich to add field to field I'M
til the people have no room. The laws
today sacrifice a thousand innocent
children to preserve one lazy, unhap-
py, superior person. The laws today
punish as a criminal the child who
steals a loaf of bread or pair of boots
and honors the man whose greed and
folly, keep the workers off the land and
treble the rents in the filthy and in
decent slums, where age has no rever-
ence and toll no ease.
There need not be such things as
poverty and ignorance in the world.
The earth is bounteous and yields
enough and more than enough for all.
Men and women, beg of you to do all
that is in your power to change the
unjust laws of today, and the way to
do it is through ORGANIZATION.
Let us all join hands and do our bit
when election comes around and go to
the polls and select men out of our
midst to serve us. We have had the
other party served by their flunkies
long enough. ,..-.. -.

government. Keep posted on the vot-
ing record of all officers who represent
you. If you don't tell them how you
want them to vote how can you ex-
pect them to represent you?
And though persecution may be the
lot Of the minority, keep smiling and
have the courage to stand for what
you believe is right. You may be
ahead of public sentiment some of the
time, but conviction and conscience
will reward you.

Spring Valley, MINI.
Women are naturally conservative
almost reactionary. A noted Amer
ican diplomat relates that fully 80 per
cent of his countrywomen who visit
the embassy openly deplore the fact
that America is not monarchy. Ex-
cept for the inherent conservatism of
women the "next step" would have
been taken long ago. Our next step is
to become democratic in fact, as we
are now democratic in name. The es-
sence Of all other forms than democ-
racy is government by the minority
for the benefit of the few. So long
as government and industry are domi-
mated by parasitic minorities, the toll
ing majority-women and men alike
must remain the slaves of the useless
few. The slogan of the Farm Wom-
ems page must be: Education and
solidarity - economic and political -
now and always!"
(MRS.) MARGARET A. HANNAH.
Big Timber, Mont.
In the political turmoil of North Da-
kota today there is much for it's wom-
en- to do. Principally we must educate
ourselves, economically and politically.
To do this we must learn to study and
to read, learn to listen and to think
deeply. We must learn to reason
things out intelligently. We must
learn to detect and spurn the false
hoods and sift out and use the great
truths that will guide us in our strug-
gle for justice.
Last of all we must allow no cow
ardice to keep us from taking our
stand fearlessly for what we know is
right and not give up, but fight with
our backs to the wall, if we must, until
we win. MRS. MYRTLE OSTBY.

MAYOR RAPS PENSION BILL
Lowering Age to SIS viii Make Fund
Dependent Upon City, He Saws

Mayor Moore has expressed op-
position to the bill. now pending in
the State Legislature, which would
change the age limit in the municipal
pension act from sixty to fifty five
wears. The proposed change would cause
the pension fund to cease being self
supporting agency, and would Zen
tirely wipe out its surplus" the Mayor
said.
I'm the six years that the municipal
pension fund has been in operation, :"
the Mayors statement reads. "lcSs than
45O applications have been made to 20
on the pension list. If the age limit
is decreased to fifty five wears, 300 more
persons will be Immediately eligible.
The city will thus lose their services and
pay them pensions as they go to other
jobs.
"The fund is now self supporting, but
if the fifty five year bill passes, the
surplus will be entirely wiped out and
Council will have to appropriate a
considerable sum annually for the main
tcnancc of the fund. Sixty per cent of
the present pensioners, at sixty years
of age or over, have outside employ
