ADDRESS BY LOUIS R. HORTON

Below is given a few outstamd-
ing remarks made by Mr.. Horton in
his address to the people of Black
foot when he spoke at the Metho-
dist and Baptist churches two weeks
ago:
America is the leading nation of
the world today. She is the richest
and most progressive nation. We
have two thousand miles OF sea
and we are the only nation whose
ports cannot be blockaded. Ameri-
ca can feed three times her present
population. There is found in our
country everything that is worth
while. Our civic liberty is the pat
tern of the world. The United
States government is one hundred
thirty-three years old and is still
doing business. What other coun-
try has such record? The eyes of
the world are fixed on America, not
only because she is the foremost
country among nations but also be-
cause the world is anxious to know
the outcome of the American ex-
pertinent, as some have called It,
when speaking Of prohibition. II
America wins all the nations Of the
world will have to fall in line and
follow. If she fails world wide pro-
hibition will be set back one hun
dred years. ~
During the time prohibition has
been ineffect there has been less
or1me, poverty and insanity, but
still there are some folks looked UP
as mad than there are in all our
colleges and universities. Ameri-
cas- task today is to educate the rs-
ing generation not to fool with iii
quor in any way but consider It a
deadly poison There are some coun-
tries who give a few children the
very best of educational advantages
for they are to become in time, the
ruling members of government, but
America educates them all, for she
The Bingham County news., 1921-12-23

cannot tell which sne from her
thousands of schools will be called
upon to hold chief place among her
citizens, nor who will constitute the
future senate and house of repre-
sentatives.
There are lessons from prohibi-
ton The moral tone of our towns
is on a higher standard, the social
life is cleaner, and the financial re-
turn greater. President Fisher, of
one of our leading universities,
says that prohibition is worth two
and one-third billion dollars every
year to our country, and this the
lowest estimate ever been offered
Col. Isaac Lewis, inventor of the
Lewis Machine gun, said that when
the 18th amendment was fully en-
forced there would forty per cent
increase in our labor, and consider
ing the worth Of prohibition plus
tthe earning power of her men, AM
erica could in time, buy the bonds
of the entire world.
Idaho needs law enforcement and
obedience. Lawlessness never i'm
proves by neglect. There is feel
ing abroad in our state that If you
don't like law, never mind it
that it is considerec smart to boot
leg whiskey and that making moon
shine is clever. If we only obey the
laws we like we are giving the 9TH
er fellow an excuse to do the same,
and we have anarchy. What this
leads to we all know.
Citizenship begins with respect
to law and aims to obey If selling
liquor is unlawful, buying makes
you partner of the crime. If we
have officers who 40 not live up to
their oath, it is the citizens job to
see to 1T that he rs replaced by
some one who has sand enough to
do it. Since the 18th amendment
there has been twenty-six national
organizations formed to bring back
beer and wine. These are recon-
struction days. Next year will be
beer year. II we can enforce prohi-
bition for five more years, world
wide prohibition is assured.

HONEY PHILOSOPHY FOR 1921

We knew it! The president wrote
his message with a lead pencil.
What difference does it make to an
,editor-president If there are a regi-
ment of handsome expert typewrit-
ers around? When an editor writes
he wants to think, and scratch out
common place phrases that first
come to mind in favor of better
phrases. There may be eiitor, who
dash off their editorials-and mes
sages to congress, too!-Dn tvre-
writers, but those of the breM that
belong to the age that Harding grew
up in, still write with pencil, and
scratch out the commonplace with
good, black lead, to their !.eart's
content.

4 Christmas Editorial by the National Com
mander of the american Legion,
Hantord MacNider.

One night nearly two thousand
years ago three wise men came
piotding from the East, guided by
a s tar to the manger of the Christ
Child. They knew that which they
were seeking, but they knew not
how or when it should be shown
to them. They sought the spirit of
service that should mean to count
less millions following after, Peace
on Earth, Good Will to Men,
Associated together in the Amer
lean Legion for service to God and
Coun ntry, bound by ties of service
together in dangerous times, this
day of days should mean much to
us. We know it's message and our
duty is clear before us.
Thousands of our comrades lie
oxen and sick for whom the war
can never end. Our first duty is to
them and our star-the white light
Of our conscience guides US there,
while we fight for their proper
recognition by willing but forget
full nation. Let us make this
Christmas day starting point in
our personal service to them,
Those of us who were fortunate
enough to come back untouched can
it only by our presence beside
them and those they hold dear
sometime on that day give them as
surance that we have not and shall
not forget. It is no more than we
would expect from them, were our
position reversed. There may be
things which can be done for them,
not in charity but as one buddy to
And If during the holidays each one
the thousands of ex-service men who
looking for work, no better Christ
will make Christmas Day mean more

WAVE
HAS ARR|VEDlN
film INDUSTRY
Cost Of Productions Must Be
! Lowered, but Quality Re-
tanned, Say Producers.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. I0.--A new
era - dawning In ~ motion picture
world.
According to Ieadins producers the
days Of extravagant salaries and In
sufficient methods are gone forever. :.
"Cut the cost. but keep the quail
ity up"
This IL the order which has been
given In every one of the big studios
of Southern California. and for sew
eral weeks general retrenchment has
been In progress.
1.-THE motion picture industry has
passed from a period of abnormal
prosperity" said Jesse L. Laskey.
first vice president of the Famous
Playerp- Lasky Corporation, in analyz-
ing present conditions. 1T behooves
producers to face present critical con-
diticns courageously and to fight
through the period Of readjustment to
the period Of normally.
Extravsgance Stopped.
",rhe motion picture producing or
ganisation that does not realize the
seriousness OF the situation and act
accordingly cannot survive. Extray.
aGance must be replaced by economy.
The day Of reckless expenditure,
feel certain, has gone forever. and
economy is to be the watchword of
the new era.
Officials Of our organisation were
called upon each to do his share In
putting the corporation on an eff
cient economical basis.
Solely in the interest OF economi-
cal production. we closed our studio
on Long Island, N. Y, and trans.
ferred all productions to our studio
in Hollywood. We are striving to
eliminate all the old extravagances
Of production and aiming for the
greatest economy"
Samuel Goidwyn. president of the
Goldwyn Picture Corporation, said:
I'VE are now making pictures at
q lower cost than formerly. Many
items OF expense which formerly
were regarded as necessary are being
eliminated. Salaries are also being
reduced and expenditures watched
with careful eve. This is necessary
In order that motion pictures may
remain a popular priced amusement.
Irving q. ThaIberg, general man
ager Of the Universal Film Manufac-
turing Company. said:
The man who makes motion pic.
lures knows he must make better
pictures for less money and start
making them now.
The man who says that the mo-
ton picture industry IL in q splendid
financial condition In just as wrong
an the man who says IL faces ruin
The present unrest IL the best
thing that could have happened to
the industry. No permanent peace
was ever achieved without revolution.
