that he contemplated q payment from

is no record OF any such payment re-

ing Of the City Council October II,

paid in by the County for street pur-
poses and this was considered in fix
ing the total levy of % mills for all

Tax Rate
of 28 Mills

!
Jackson, Mississippi, has rate Of
~ mills ~ mills less than ours. Why ?
Because their assessment is 10 to 40
per cent. higher.
The expenses Of our city have to
be betrayed, and when our citizens do
not give in their property at fair
valuation so that the expenses can be
met with low rate Of taxation, then
the rate has to be high on what is
given in. For instance: According
to the records, there are only about
twelve families in Columbus who have
furniture worth over and above the
exemption $3.50, by law.
If it is really so, that most of our
largest taxpayers have no more
household goods than that, our fur
niture dealers have been very neg
ligent. They should get busy and
furnish the homes of our citizens ard
There are only about ~ pianos and
y few other musical Instruments in
Columbus according to the record, if
the records of the City Hall are to
be believed, and we are bound to be.
lieye them, because all our taxpayers
swore what they gave in was right, as
attested at the bottom of each tax
list.
So | ask, in the name of the Mayor
and City Council, you gentlemen who
sell musical instruments, to get busy
and put some kind in every homo in
Columbus, for YOU know music hath
charms to. soothe the say age breast"
From the same source Of our other
information, we regret to learn there
is 70 jewelry owned by but very few
Of our citizens, and this jewelry, in
rearly every instance, is "a watch, and
sad to relate, an lngersoll at that!
Taxpayers, be fair and just. Ask
yourself the question whether or not
you are dealing fairly with the city.
whether or not you are paying the
taxes you should pay. Let your con
science answer you and see what the
answer win be. Every mans con-
science tells him truly shether he be
right or wrong.
Do not go by what the other man
should do, but what you should do
yourself Because the other man does
wrong is no reason you should.
AS you know, as is generally
known, the poor man, the man Of
moderate means bears the burden OF
taxation. Most Of them pay 100 per
cent, some of them more, OF the
actual value of their property, while
the man who is better able financially
to bear the tax burden, gets off with
so to 80 per cent of the actual value
Of his property, and he objects to pay
ing even that much.
Those Of you. taxpayers who read
the above, VIII see some Of the rea-
sons why our tax rate is 90 mills.
Then read below and YOU will see that
5 mills of that 2S goes to pay de-
felt of about $4,000 for last year,
which was spent by the former adm
2l2 mills goes for the
land which was donated to the NJ. S.

mills to pay for years more.

swers.
That stumps me and so I go into
the polite vernacular for an inter-
view with Mr.. Charles Chaplin, the
most famous man in the world. The
following statement by Chaplin is
built from answers to a number of
questions.
American Films Too Simple.
Europe looks upon the American
pictures as being too simple, child
like, puerile. They are tired of bed
room and pantry pictures. this sex
triangle and sweetie sweet stuff.
They say they are sick of our maud
lin sentiment.
THE Europeans say the American
psychology lacks subtlety. They be-
lieve they tell the truth in pictures,
that they paint life as it really is.
They believe. over in Europe, that
their pictures have the stories and
that ours have better technique.
There is much in that point of view.
IT shall write my own story for
my next picture. 1 do not believe
any story can be transferred to the
screen without losing much OF its
merit.
THE photoplay must create It's
own art. Writing for the screen Will
develop into a distinct field for
writer's.
Censorship would not harm the
photoplay IL it did not harm truth.

duction. There is almost a school
boy shyness about him that for the
moment makes you feel that you are
famous and he is Obscure. There is
modesty, sincerity and genuineness
in his greeting than n would ex-
pect from m whose hand has beer
clasped by thousands.
l saw Chaplin when he vas intro
duced to a youth of 20, an unbidden
hero worshipper, who was plainly
embarrassed at standing in the pres
ence of SO famous a man. Within a
minute the youth was entirely at
ease talking to Chaplin as though
he had known him all his life.
HIS SENSITIVENESS
I was with Chaplin when a man
told him a wounded Italian soldier
had set his spine in position by
reaching for a photograph of Chap
lin after the doctor had given up
hope of saving him. Tears welled
to the brims of Chaplin's eyes. A
corner of his lips was caught be-
tween his teeth. Something bobbed
up in his throat. He could not speak.
Then / told Chaplin that / had re-
ceived a photograph of Jackie Coo
gar his youthful co-star in The
Kid and that Jackie was wearing
a Chaplin mustach in his next pic
ture. His eyes danced at that. A
characteristic smile lit up his face,
That's great" he said. "a fine trib-
ute, as the boy is a great actor"

let US present life as it is, with its
joys and its sorrows, its goodness
and its sins. 1t it's the truth. NOR
ala will take care of themselves.
IT always welcome intelligent crit
icism OF my work. / find some OF 1t
very helpful.
Doesn't Stoop tn Audience.
Producers have been wrong in
their attitude of STOPPING to the
level of the audience. The intelli-
gence of the %photoplay patron is
much higher than it is credited with
being by many in the film business.
Il have found that when 1 have
pleased myself with my acting, have
done what 1 wanted to do for the
sale of art alone. l have pleased my

the Stage. 1t places the actor in too
intimate a position with his audience

shakespeare cannot yet be adap-
ted to the screen. The screen is too
srudite.
My next picture for First Ma
tional will be a comedy unless it be-
a tragedy by failing TO be
comic. Every comedian is tempted
to do tragedy. Some day l may at
tempt u serious pHOIOuTdfHd, Dut Aui
the present l shall confine my work
to comedies.
Yves. l shall use the custard pie
again il the situation demands 1t.
There's art in the use of a custard
pie if it is used at the right time.
Europe just Like Hollywood.
My European trip wasn't so
much of a vacation. IL seemed that
everyone / met was a picture player
from Hollywood. l could hardly
realize that l was out of America. @
Il saw Mary and Doug for about
five minutes. l believe it is their in
tention to film a picture in Europe.
They do not plan TO stay permanent
sly on the other side as reported.
III. G.. Wells is of the opinion that
the photoplay holds great possibili-
ties for artistic development but that
it has not yet advanced to a high
place among the arts.
"Pola Negri possesses one of the
most ~vivacious personalities of n
one I know. Her vivacity is more
evident off the screen than on"
CHAPLIN'S CREDO
Chaplin is looked upon as the
clown of the world. the jester who
Perth Amboy evening news., 1921-10-26
PERSONALITIES.

Chaplin evades formal affairs.
He takes one lump of sugar in his
coffee.
He employs his left hand for a
spoon and his right for a knife.
He draws with his left hand and
writes with his right.
He refuses TO say how many pro-
posals he received in Europe.
He doesn't want a home in any
one place. He wants TO live all over
the world.
A third of Chaplin's hair is gray.
A twin furrow creases the fore
head between the eyes when he is in
deep thought.
He appears TO be in far better
spirit than when he left for Europe
six weeks ago. Then he vas rather
tired. curt and unresponsive. Today
he is affable. ready to talk and, TO
use the idiom of the day, full of pep.
HIS DIFFERENCE.

ton whom this writer has ever met

in THE Kid" he had b%urlesqued

attitude toward death and the here
after. l put the question.
II believe there is so much In this
life. so much of JOY and happiness,
that if we live TO get the most that

That was his answer.

Through the generosity of an
anonymous donor the university has
been presented with 100000 for the
building of this rink as a memorial to
the late Capt. Hobart A. H. Baker, IA.

team. captain of the hockey team, and
lost his life in France while serving
as an aviator.

This addition to Princeton's athletic
equipment will make the latter about
complete. 1t will provide a place for
the hockey team to practice and play
its games. Heretofore the team has
often had to go to New York or
Philadelphia to practice.
The memorial is to be of stone and
ing with all the other recent build
ings. 1t will be located south of Bro
kaw Field. the great undergraduate
playground, and, while the structure
itself cannot be ready until next
spring, the ice surface will be avail
able for play by February. The build
ing will be 256 feet long and 126 feet
wide. with an ice surface of 200 by
IS feet. Tiers of seats and standing
room will accommodate 5000 specta-
tors. The eastern end will be thra<
