Of this estimate, applying as It does

One of the representatives, appar-

that this means about $50 apiece for
every man, woman and child in the
country. he adds SO per capita for
city government, 81 for county gov

and gets a total Of $50 per capita
for the total taxation. Taking an

Oklahoma City, June 24-Although
nearly % per cent of the persons in
Oklahoma who paid state income
tax last year will not be taxable this
year. the total revenue from this
source will be practically as large, It
was said here today by Frank Carter,
state auditor. Eleven thousand tax re-
turns were made last year, Only 5000

Changed business conditions are held
responsible for the lower number Of
taxable incomes. The increased tax
paid by oil producers is expected TO
equalize the losses from other sources,

Salvation For The Movies

These pictures were and are the re- suit of the original promise of the authors orsaniza zation-namely. that the writers should actively partici- pate in the filming of their stories. thus putting an end to the frequent mis-translation to he screen of fic- tional and dramatic works.
 M Maeterlinck thinks that the root of the trouble with American films which he calls the best. bad as they gre, in the world-lies with the see narios. This has undoubtedly been the case. But the Eminent Authors, Atherton Gouverneur Morris. Mary Robert Rinehart, Basil King and Leroy Scott, have already done work toward eradicating that root of evil work that has been the radical out growth of their original premise of active participation
 Doing It Themselves
 They have each of them written words, taken the scenario into their own hands. As a result. the actual transcript of action is becoming moulded to the forms of men and women who have demonstrated their ability to create life in dramatic and humorous form-the life which the screen has primarily been lacking.
 Nor can the fact be justly over looked that M. Maeterlinck himself was induced by Goldwyn to write an original story for the screen. It is in the interest and cooperation of such writers as Maeterlinck, after all, that the future of the screen largely rests, although the distinguished Belgian is too modest to suggest this- For the demand in the past for screen mater ial has largely bankTupted the old fields of the novel and the play and the films today demand original treat ment by original talents. And the films are beginning to get precisely that
 NJ. Maeterlinck makes the interest ing suggestion that model studios be erected where only good pictures be made. But it is certainly doubtful if such an artificial experiment. could breed anything substantial. There will always be plenty of bad films, but the movies will be saNed-comparative speaking-and by themselves. They have in the past demonstrated their ability to grow and they will continue to do so in the future And not the least of the signs that this progress is to continue lies in the obvious in l terest of men such as Maeterlinck himself in the problems concerning the movies today Such interest is bound to be stimulating and fruitful. |

 It's a funny old eanth- With all our civilization, we're just about where we started We still want to We travel on-we still want love. and we want it hard.
