The Bozeman courier., 1921-11-23

Misfortunes of the past cannot be corrected now,
so the only thing to be done is to proceed along
lines that will result in bringing about condi-
tiOn wherein there will not be recurrence of the
present situation. AS stated before, had the
voters of the state gone to the polls with an in
telligent understanding Of the matters which they
were to decide, by their vote, one of the referen
dunn measures submitted to them last fall would
not have been rejected. That measure was one
to provide method to prevent just what the
Gallatin county taxpayers association is now
complaining about 1t would have been the means
whereby the taxes Of this state would have been
equalized, in every sense which that word implies.
The same question will be submitted to the voters
at the next election, and it would be most advan-
tageous to the association if it would devote some
of the meetings to studying this measure and
learning what it means

shows on the face of it that we will have to pay

TAXPAYERS MEET AGAIN.

The taxpayers association held another meet
ing last Saturday in the Emerson school audi
tOrium. There was a goodly number of farmers
there, also many representing other lines of en-
deavor. The meeting lasted until late in the after
noon.
Progress was made in the work of the associa-
tion learning of the expenditure of county funds |
derived from taxation. One of the most compre-
hensive reports ever compiled was given the as
sOciation by Miss Quaw, superintendent of county
schools She also gave the association many very
valuable ideas relative to the method by which
economies may be practiced in handling school
district funds. The remedy offered by her may
not be accepted for it means the discountinuing
of schools in some districts where unnecessary
funds are expended for educating only two or
three scholars. Her remedy would give the
scholar nine months schooling instead of the three
now available in the rural district, and at small
er cost to the district than under the present
method. The school boards of the rural districts
are composed of farmers so it is within the power
Of the taxpayers association to secure reduction
in school taxes, and at the same time give the
children better schooling. And the districts
would not be surrendered.
Discussion of the present tax levies did not
reach the point where there might be an intelli-
gent analysis of the levies for various purposes,
at the meeting. Only general discussion was
had covering the whole tax as it applied. Good
time was wasted in unnecessary statements that
farmers were not receiving proper value for their
products. That fact is admitted by all, there is
no argument about that point so the time of the
meeting could have been taken gp with discus
sion of remedies rather than with complaints
about what cannot be prevented.
! Studying tax laws, their method OF enactment
the requirements of these laws that the officials
follow them, and other constructive action did not
appear at this meeting. It is to be regretted that
there was no plan of procedure offered for the
neeGng. No progress can be made beneficial to
the association unless the members of the associa
ton get down to business in the meetings and
work along definite lines. Beyond question: the
association can do great deal of good, not only
in Galatin county, but throughout the entire
state. That good can only come, however, through
intelligent action along definite lines where meet
ings are being held. 1t is up to the executive
committee, now that the permanent organization
has been completed to guide the movement along
sane and constructive lines, so that the meetings
will be worth attending.

from Virginia into Kentucky with
Daniel Boone. will be seen in the Aim
version Of 'Torable David" in which
Richard Barthelmess is being starred
by Inspiration Pictures. Inc. The story
calls for an old-time mill, and 1t was
decided that only in the Virginia
mountains could this relic of bygone
days be found. This wheel is said to
be fifty-two feet high.
Tradition has it that early in the
nineteenth century, in order to fur
nish food for the soldiers who were
watching over the Indians, the state
Of Virginia caused the wheel to be
erected. The state also adopted this
means of getting the Indians to till
the soil and therby lay aside their
warlike proclivities. The state ground

of the same shade of tulle. with just
touch of ribbon and a few flowers
to relieve its simplicity.

was white Canton, effectively en-

THE public appreciates real acting.
/ but its opportunity to see it is
ofttimes limited, for there seems
to be a tacit understanding among
the magna&es of the footlights that it
is not always necessary.
Won Bulow once said that there
were three requisites for good
pianist: the first. technique; the Sec
ond. technique. and the third. tech

ducers seem to reason that the three
essentials for the stage are "revue,
revue and revue"
What a glorious contradiction to
this was the line at the box office of
Keith's last week, and what a trib-

HOW SHAKESPEARE PAYS.

THOSE who say that the higher
drama. and particularly Shake
speare. does not pay do not realize
that there is something else in life
beside moneyed success. They are
unaware that in holding to those
things that have an everything ap-
peal as art. tested by all times. they
are doubly repaid in ways that can
not be estimated in ordinary dollars
and cents.
But after all, it is not true that
Shakespeare does not pay from the
point of view of actual money Perhaps
falling to appeal to the worst passions
does not crowd the house with audi
ences at high prices to study human
decentralization and add to it: but, as
Walter Hampden is showing in the
present generation and as other ia
nous actors have shown before.
Shakespeare pays in every way.

worth while to look forward to.
Her costume? Well, one would
scarcely have thought of it unless
they had pencil and sketchbook in
hand for the express purpose of not
ing 1T down. as the writer did. Not
that it wasn't very pretty, for it was,
but when one sees Ethel Barrymore
they think of her. and not of what
she wears. But this is how she was
garbed: a small hat of old rose. trim

light shell pink silk serge. and a
dainty blouse of fine crochet work.

the film dramas are not the end-all of
art and life even if it be chee ply
accessible. To these the sound of the
spoken word is still potent. And the
spoken words of the greatest master
of word-painting in. English litera-
ture in the hands of great inter-
prefer have ever a thrilling effect.
The resounding lines do not need
scenic investiture or elaborate STAGE
craft now any more than they did in
the good Elizabethan days.
Yet the up-to- o-dateness of the Shake
spearean drama is shown in the ia
miliar story of the casual gallery Wis

play was 'just a string of quota tons

But it is the fact that Shakespearean
