The state law further state. the grand jury alleges, that the banks may be designated as active and inactive Repositories, the funds in active to be subject to draft for expenses while the funds in inactive banks shall remain until the treas urer is obliged to withdraw them. Active Repositories shall pay inter- est at the rate of not less than 2 per cent, the state law says, according to the grand jurors, and inactive de- positories shall pay not less than 3 per cent interest for deposits of less than six months and not less than six months, all interest to be calcu- lated on daily balances.
 The indictment returned against Ross and Lewis does not state that either of them derived any benefits through the alleged conspiracy, or that either of them received any ben eft from the alleged failure of the bank to pay the correct amount of interest due the state.

Scenario Contest of The
 Republican Offers Chance
 To Enter New Profession

One of the most unusual opportu- mites ever offered in Phoenix, a chance to learn the scenario writing profession and in so doing win a prize, has been given residents of the valley in The Republican scenario contest. Scenarios entered in the contest already are coming into the office of The Republican and hund- reds more are expected to follow.
 The Republicans big scenario con test also is giving people of the val ley an opportunity to realize an ann bition that comes to everyone at some time or other-that of writing a story. Few persons actually write one because they think they have no hope of selling it in competition with experienced magazine writers, but that mistaken idea does figure in this case. Those who enter the con- test are competing with home folks" and not with highly-paid and na- tionally- known authors. Names do not count. Everybody in the Salt River valley has an equal chance, and the contest is open to all with no conditions except that the scenario be in The Republicans hands not later than p. m., December 30.
 Six prizes are offered in The Re- publican's scenario contest, but greater than the prizes will be the confidence they will give the win ners. No one will be content with the one prize. once 1t is won. but will go on writing scenarios-and selling them. Probably every prize will mean a start in the profession of writing for the screen.

Golden Rewards Await Screen Writers Who Have Originality;
 Public Tired of Adaptations

the producer pays such writers S25.- 900 each for four or five stories, he will still be able to make hand some profit on those stories. because they will be the best that the best screen authors will be able to write.
 It is almost impossible to put a valuation on the work of an indi- vidual's brain. story, providing it is good, Is worth just as much as the writer thinks it is, and not one cent more.
 Those who write their stories in long-hand. in three or four hours. or even three or four days, must be sat- isfied with the reception those stories receive from the producer. Those who spend many real, serious hours. each day, over their work, in their desire to turn out a story that will get results. must not become dis coura ged if 1t is returned to them. The producer may have very good reason for rejecting it. A great many clements enter into the accep- tance of a photoplay. One producer may like the story very much. but perhaps he hasn't a star who could fit the role. Another may turn 1t down because it would cost more money to produce it than he is in a position to spend at that particular time. A third may return it because it is not the particular type of story he wants to produce. Some pro- ducers like stories dealing with do- mestic problems; others prefer spe- cial productions, without featuring any particular actor or actress, while others want big spectacles. etc. If the aspirant is thin-skinned and cas- fly discouraged, then it is better he or she put an end to their ambitions, as far as the screen is concerned. and take up some other line of work.
 To get anywhere, doing anything. requires a tenacity of purpose; a will that cannot be crushed, and deter imitation that refuses to acknowledge defeat. If you really desire to be- come famous as a photoplaywrigbt. you will. No one, but God. will be able to stop you. stick to it, with grim persistency. and though your script comes home a dozen times, send it out once more. and, maybe the next time 1t will be accepted. The one who succeeds, is the one who sticks to his task, even though 1t takes him to the borders of purga- = tory. Then, if he has the right kind of stuff in him. he will put on an ! asbestos suit and wade through 1t! | Then, he'Il start to ascend.
 You can't continually fail, doing | any one thing. unless there's some
 thing wrong with you.

ROSS DECLARES
 INDICTMENT |S
 POLITICAL MOVE
Former State Treasurer Denies Charges - War. rant Issued For Arrest Of P. K. Lewis in. Chicago

Declaring that his indictment by the county grand jury on a charge of conspiracy is an aftermath of the last election when he ran for secre- tary of state on the Democratic ticket and was defeated by Ernest R. Hall, the Republican nominee, Harry s. Ross brands the affair as a political move.
 The former state treasurer who was indicted with P. K. Lewis. ap- peared yesterday afternoon before was granted until Dec. II to enter his plea to the charge. He was released under bond of $1 ,000
 Mir. Ross was served with the war rant charging conspiracy yesterday morning by Deputy Sheriff Al De- Witt following his arrival from Los Angeles. MT. Ross stated he had been advised on Friday of the in- dictment against him and had left Los Angeles on the first train for Phoenix. He went at once upon his arrival to the office of his attorney, H. B. Speakman, where he was served with the warrant. In the aft ernoon he appeared with his attorney before Judge Stanford.
 To Arrest Lewis in Chicago
 MT. Lewis is said to be in Chicago and requisition for extradition pa- pers to the governor of Illinois was signed yesterday by Ernest R. Hall. secretary of state and acting govern or. Attached to the requisition was a copy of the indictment and a bench warrant for his arrest. According to adviees from police officials in Chi cako, Lewis will be arrested upon re- ceipt of the warrant. He will be brought back to Phoenix by Deputy Sheriff c. P. Anderson, who is now in Michigan.
 The grand jury alleges in it's in dictment that Ross and Lewis un- lawfully conspired together for the purpose of preventing and obstruct- ing the administration of the laws of the state of Arizona and in carrying out the alleged conspiracy, Lewis. as president of the Central Bank of Wickenburg, had that bank designat- ed as a despository for state moneys, and Ross in carrying out the alleged conspiracy deposited and caused to be deposited from time to time state moneys and funds in the Central Bank of Wickenburg, state funds in excess of the amount the bank was | entitled to receive under the bond furnished by it to the state as a depository.
 The grand jury alleges in the in l dictment that Ross as state treasurer did check and draw against the de- posits in the Central Bank of Wick enburg and that the interest payable and due to the state computed upon the daily balances in the bank as shown by the records and books of | the banks was less than the true amount of interest properly and law l fully chargeab1e to the Central bank and payable by it to Ross as state treasurer for the state.

By H. H. Van Loan

In the current issue of one of our most popular periodicals, there is an article on moving pictures which should interest every individual who is endeavoring to become a photo playwright. It says. in part:
 "The next important evolution fin the motion picture industry will be marked advance in the quality of the stories filmed. Scenario writing is the most experimental and undevel- oped end of the business. The pie lures producers are aware that an art which is a copy is never as good as a copy of nature. For this req son, they are looking forward to the day when original stories will be the thing"
 That day has already arrived, and tn producer admits that the original story is the thing. He will confess he has had his fill of adaptations of books and plays, which, in order to make screen material, have been dis torted and twisted and turned until they could hardly be recognized. The producer will also admit that he has made these adaptations against his better judgment The public demanded them. In the fu- ture, the majority of photoplays will be made from original scripts, writ ten by photoplaywrights who know the screen and it's technique.
 Nine of the biggest successes last season were original productions, from original stories. These pictures crossed approximately, $500.000 and $750,000 each. In the future, the screen author will be supreme. At present the producers are employing the best literary talent obtainable to write their stories. Some of these writers are being paid as much as $75,0O0 a year. Isn't that goal worth striving for, dear reader? Producers are paying as high as $10,000 for an original script today, and. they are willing to pay even more in order to get what they want.
 However, bear in mind, the writers who are receiving these big prices for their stories are the ones who spend time, care and thought in the de- velopment of their work. They realize that the screen is a wonderful thing and has 25,000.000 admirers who en- joy its comedies, its dramas and its tragedies, every week. These writ CTS take their work seriously. and | they are entitled to the reward they receive. Some of them are goins l to be content to write not more thar | four or five stories year, in tht | future: because they want to devote more study. care and thought to theil work than they have in the past.

attractive of professions because of the fact technical knowledge is not required. One does not have to have literary ability, as in other writing. The one thing needed is a supply of original ideas. The plots the thing, and anyone who can think of the plots Is sure of success. regardless whether he has had a university edu- cation or only finished grade school.
 The fundamental principles of scenario writing are being told in The Republican by Fl. H. Van Loan. and the fifth of his series of articles ap- pears this morning. A careful study of his articles will teach anyone how to write a scenario.
