GOVERNOR OFFERS
BABY BEEF CUP
Extension News Service, University
of Tcnnessee.)

(Extension News Service, University
Of Tennessee)
AS an incentive to boys and girls of
Tennessee to breed better cattle Gov.
Aft Taylor has offered a SILVER cup
to be awarded at the next annual
Nashville Fat Stock Exposition to the
boy or girl exhibiting the best baby
beef,
Governor Taylor was very much i'm
pressed with the 1921 show about
which he said: THE one salient fea-
ture of the Nashville Fat Stock Ex-
position that appealed to me more
than anything else is the part that is
being played by the boys and girls of
baby beef clubs organized by county
agents. These youngsters went out
in open competition with the grown
ups and captured fair share of the
prize money. Those boys and girls
work touched me deeply because
realize that in those youngsters are
the men and women of tomorrow.
This work is so fundamentally sound
and practical in its purposes that it
should interest every one.
"And to that end to encourage the
boys and girls of Tennessee in their
effort to learn the fundamentals of
agriculture, ! have authorized the
management of the Nashville Union
Stock Yards to offer at their next an
nual fat stock exposition a silver tro-
ply, which Will be known as the
Governors Cup, to be awarded to
the boy or girl, member of regular
ly organized baby beef club in the
state who has on exhibition at this
show the best beef, to be awarded by
the judges of the exposition, and the
winner shall keep the trophy one
wear. sat which time it will again be
awarded in the same manner, and il
anyone win it twice in succession it
is theirs to keep

HONEY PHILOSOPHY FOR 1922

Here was man the other day that
shot a fellow dead just because the
chap had robbed him Of $4,000, an
then tried to set fire TO his house.
Both were sufferin' from the same
complaint running wild without a
check rein. The unfortunate avenger
would laugh himself i'll if rs saw
some chap walking down to the shore
with piece of blotting paper to
dry up the ocean, wouldn't he, but he
was doing Just that same sort of
thing, tryin' to wipe out crookedness
by KILN crook. You can't make
the world good by holding it up or
knocking it down.

Ezry couldn't take his dope. 49,. An
then they called Doc Quackef in,

who found a crimp in Exry's back an
warned him a his awful fate unless
they got his backbone straight. The
Chiroquac done all he could, but
couldn't seem to do no good, an
so he got a Nostopath that squeezed
his rafters, Stats, an lath, but
shucks! in spite of al they done, the

THE FORTY THIEVES 0UTDONE

Cold figures strip the mask from
the telephone TRUST SO completely
that it is impossible for this multi
pie wire tentacled octopus longer to
hoodwink the people. During the
past few years public service com
missions in every state from Maine
to California have been begge,i and
wheedled by highly paid telephone
company attorneys and special plead
ers to grant increases in toll charges.
When the war ended, though the
wires seemed to have functioned with
efficiency under government control
according to the company officials
nothing but wreckage and a shat
tered personnel was a service so
them. The result was a service so
shocking, SO eXasperating, that it be-
came a public disgrace, and the con-
dition was seized as a first excuse for
higher rates. Then followed argu-
ments of financial pressure, impossi-
bly, high wages, imperative demands
on the pocket book of the organiza-
lion. The poor little shivering trust
was in extremist must die unless
| relief were afforded Relief was
afforded. The public purse was tap
ped to the limit, Now the inevitable
hour of accounting has come. We
learn that in 1921 the American Tel
ephone and Telegraph Company made
the unconscionable profit of $54,O22,-
Grainger County news. (Rutledge, Tenn.) 1917-current, 1922-03-22

703 out of a gross business Of S1I0,-
E42,722. The dollars were picked di-
rectly from the pockets Of the peo-
pie, particularly the country people,
until small town folk and farmers
staggered under the load. Farmers
by the thousands were compelled to
discontinue their telephones because
they found it impossible to pay the
extortionate prices eXacted. While
the prices for farm products were be-
ing battered downward, the tele-
phone trust pressed the countryman
so hard with rising rates that he had
no option but to cut off his contact
with the outside world and go back
to the days of silence and drudgery
Adding impertinence to its stagnant
conscience, the companys report now
tells US that while our gross earn
ings did not increase as might have
been expected had business been nor
NAL, our net earnings more than hello
it's own"
The Forty Thieves should retire
from their advanced position in
standard literature. They are out
classed-mere pikers living on past
reputation gained when banditry
such as that of the telephone trust
was an unknown art.

WILL HAYS IND The
MOVIE Censorship

Mr.. VIII Hays is safely ensconceS
in his new Sl50,000-a-year job AZ DR.
rector general of The movies. One of
the chief duties Of his position u !
the public understands it, is 10 head
off movie censorship, either by ele
waiting the movies 20 a point where
its necessity will not be so apparent
or by the exertion Of political min
ence in national and state legisls

Mr. Hays has mans size job be
fore him. No one, we venture 10 as
sert, will deny that the movie indus
try can stand lot of moral up.ift
without hurting it bit. There
would be no censorship DOGGY rising
up to alarm now if it had not been
displaying such fragrant disregars
of common decency. We refer nat au
the Bacchanalian revels of psuim.

fools and libertenes are found xn ali
professions, and there are many ale
cent men and women in the muEi3
world who are not to be classed 15isii
the smaller number whose nsasooor-
nus escapes keep them on the f0aR
page of the daily newspapers. The
decent public's chief grievance
against the motion picture industry
is not the mode of life of Some al ses
employees but the quality or !ack 81
'it-of a large part of the pictures.
The public has right TO .de1HanE
that these pictures be clean, and If
the producers have not the Foresight
and decency to keep them clean as =
matter of good morals and good bns-
mess policy, the public certainly has
the right-and the duty to protect
itself by appropriate measures.
In considering the question Of mo.
ton picture censorship it should III
ways be remembered the screen plays
are frequented largely by childyen4d
tender years. 1t is aston shiny alfaa

tion OF the laxity Of these parents.
that they have no way OF knowing
what the pictures are until they nave
been shown on the screen-ana that
furnishes the strongest of arguments
for sane and liberal motion picture
censorship.
The motion picture industry today
is in much the same position that
the liquor industry held ten years
ago. Indifference to an arrogant de
fiance Of public demand for deem
regulation of the liquor Industry re-
suited in prohibition. Indifference
and defiance by the motion picture
industry Of public demand for clean
screen plays has resulted in 1hr be-
ginning of nationwide movement
in favor of movie censorship. The
movies have only themselves to blame
for their present troubles, and unless
they clean house Mr.. Will Hays viii
be powerless to save them from strin-
gent supervision in the interest OF
the rising generation.

Abuses of business. he declared,
must be corrected by the man On

he said, "will result inevitably in cor
rection by compulsion through gov
ernmental restrictions"
Discussing the recent history OF
American railroads, Mr.. Arkwright
said, that they practiced unwarrant
ed determinations between people
and localities and their free power
abused is unquestioned,
public sentiment was aroused
against them. AS an inevitable conse-
quence they were subjected to gov
ernmentaI regulation and control.
Regulation once begun, becomes pro-
ressively more restrictive. Their
rates were fixed, their earrings limited,
their services specified. their operat-
ing conditions prescribed. the wages
of their employees fixed.
Duties and responsibilities were
imposed upon them and the oppor-
tunity to meet them through enter
prises, initiative and business man
agement taken away. AS an newt
able consequence, expansion and i'm
proyement of railroads ceased, ser
vice deteriorated, operation became
expensive, freight and passenger
rates became high and the whole
country with all its industries and
all its business is suffering from want
of railroads in new territory, by the
abandonment and taking up of rail-
roads already built, by inadequate
and insufficient equipment every
where, and because of rates and
charges higher than industry can
bear"
The speaker declared that repe-
tition of the history of the railroads
IS occurring in the public utilities, in
the meat packing and coal industries,
even in the administration of real
properties.
