UCTNETTE says that if any studio

Rose had her say about our webbing
movie world.
Motherdear had warned me not to
talk shop too much. She explained
that every movie company has a
little political system all its own,
with cliques and claques, bosses and
parties, and she desired me to realize
that the neutral zone was the best
place for a youngster.
She often reminded me that
wouldn't know politics if | listened
and whatever | said about the powers
that be would be misinterpreted, and
therefore I'd better not discuss what
didn't comprehend
And so I made no reply to Rose
concerning the prospect of the clos
ing of "the factory" My silence irri-
tated her. And her next remark was
intended to worry me:

too far! I've seen her in here lot
lately. Don't get chummy. She's
liable not to sign new contract
Henry says so. And she's the kind

"She's been wonderful to me late

Listen, May! You don't know
her. A girl like you couldn't. l
guess I've got to tell you something.
Henry passed it to me. It's this:
Ginette has been going around link
ing your name with McMastersw
'Let her." I said. Whats the
harm? McMasters has been mighty
good to me and I've done my best
! by my plays. Motherdear says he's
made heaps from my films, but
he's paid me good salary. I admit
I'm proud to have my name under his
on the bill boards"
Its a darn shame to turn any
thing as innocent as you loose in the
movies!" Rose registered deep dis
gust. you sure ought to have a
husband around as well as a Mother
dear to look after you. Listen ! You
take what I've told you home to your
| Motherdear. She don't like me. If
she did, I'd call her up. You tell her
that Ginette has linked your name
with McMasters. Use just them
words. And if your Motherdear
wants to know what Ginette is spill

Some folks are never satisfied. A
few months ago there was a big kick
that there weren't enough state con-
victs to go around. Now those same
counties that were bowling about not
getting their share are whining that
they can't feed those that they have
and say it will be up to the prison
commission to care for them. Some
are even blaming Hugh Dorsey for
the condition, saying he made it un-
popular for men who need labor to
pay convicts out. If we had as much
money in Georgia right now as we
have loose talk we'd need to import
help to take care of our wealth.

SHINING THE TAXPAYER

TIE Wall Street Journal in 4 rec
ent issue published very interest
ing item on SHINING the Taxpayer.
We quote it as follows:
Economy in government was a
slogan which meant something-per-
haps everything Last autumn in the
battle of the ballots. Economy, not
alone in national. but in state and
municipal governments, was what a
tax-ridden people demanded. They
won the fight, but so far in the same
way the Allies won the war-and lost
the peace.
Ambition for "a bigger navy than
Great Britain" has led to proposed
expenditure for battleships greater
than the sum paid by all the states
for teachers and superintendent in
the public schools. And a few cheap
airplanes could sink these ships as
easily as a child's hand could open the
dikes of Holland. The expenditure
is for pomp-a floating promenade
for brass buttons.
And what of those small things,
that in the aggregate make a still
heavier load-the extravaganza of
state and municipal governments
Here is the annual report of the con-
troller of a neighboring state, useful
to a very few people for very short
time. A business corporation would
