SPEECHES COST
GOVERNOR MUCH
Allowed No Travelling Funds And
Trip Expenses Reach Several
Thousands

ATLANTA, May Ex-Governor
Thomas W. Hardwick delivered an
address at Charlottesville yesterday
and tomorrow he will speak at Coch-
ran. The governor is besieged with
invitations to deliver speeches and
endeavors to accept as many of the
invitations as possible. A great many
people have been under the i'm
preston that the expenses of the
governor on the various trips ne made
throughout the state were paid for
by the state. The idea is an erron-
eous one, as the executive foots his
own bills. The amount of railroad
fare paid out by Governor Hardwick
since he has been governor will
amount to several thousand dollars.
The state only allows expenses for
the governor when he travels strictly
on business for the state.
Officials of the railroad commits
sion, the prison commission, the de-
partment of agriculture and other
state departments are allowed their
travelling expenses, but the state has
not been SO liberal with the gov
ernor. The governor speaks Friday
in Savannah and Saturday in Way
cross.

With the public now out 'shop-
ping" for its screen entertainment
and willing to accept only the best,
progressive improvement in the film
industry is being made and the out
look is very promising, according to
Norma Talmadge, who points to the
recent organization of the Indepen-
dent Screen Artists Guild in Cali
fornia as one of the most significant
developments of cinema history.
Miss Talmadge is one of the found
ers of the Guild, the announced OBJ
ject of which is the establishment of
direct relations between the studios
and the theaters of the coutry, with
the idea of cutting middleman costs
and thereby making it possible for
producers TO put money into better
pictures.
Among the most pretentious of
Guild productions is Norma Tai
madge's "Smilin' Through" the First
National attraction directed by Sid
ney Franklin and coming to the Ry-
lander theater on Friday and Satur-
day
Beyond tie slightest shadow of
doubt the public have indicated very
plainly that they are interested sole
~ in good pictures" Miss Talmadge
says. Taste has improved to such
a degree that the poor picture doesn't
stand the slightest chance. The pub
lie, in fact, is sick and tired of cheap
pictures.
The organization of the Independ-
ent Screen Artists Guild promises
much for the future. Bigger things
are assuredly in store for the pho
toplay patron. My own initial con-
tribution to the Guild program is
'Smilin' Through the most costly
and elaborate picture | have yet
made. And my next picture will be
filmed on just as big a scale. Other
Guild members also have very am
bilious plans.
In the future, pictures must be
big in theme and treatment-not
necessarily of great length, you un-
derstand-but big in the power to
hold and the talent with which the
material is used"
"Smilin' Through" Norma's initial
Guild picture, is said to be the finest
dramatic production she has vet
made in her screen career. 1t was
filmed on lavish scale under the
direction of Sidney Franklin, having
been adapted from Allen Langdon
Martins famous stage play of the
same name.
Among the members of distin-
gulshed cast appearing in support of
Miss Talmadge in "Smilin' Through"
are Wyndham Standing, Harrison
Ford, Alec B, Francis, Glenn Hunter.
Grace Griswold, Miriam Battista and
Eugene Lockhart.

SPOT COTTON GOES TO
20 CENTS IN ATLANTA

ATLANTA, May 23.--Spot cotton
sold for 20 cents in Atlanta yester-
day, with good middling bringing 81
cents. This is the highest price paid
for cotton in Atlanta since last Oc-
tobor. The price Of twenty cents
brings the 500-pound bale up to 500.
There seems to be a general idea
among cotton men that cotton prices
will hardly go any lower until next
fail, if then. The increase in price
has brought many thousand bales in
to the market during the past few
days.

Senator Stanley's Warning.
(Cincinnati Enquirer.)

There is no doubt of the patriotism and the economic sourdness of the address of United States Senator A. o. Stanley at the Tammany Hall Fourth o July celebration. While there Democrats of his
 breadth of vision and vrile Americanism to combat l. the wild hereses drifting in from the sociaistio
 Republican Northwest, the country will feel large measure of safety.
 | He warns against "the insane and perncious
 saturn alia of sociastic legislation, masqueradng as progressive" but which is merely "an invasion of Ehe rights of the States and the liberties Of the citizen
 All the wild fancies of the disappointed Gre
 formers of other days indeed, seem to be mar shaled under the name of Progressive to cloak their evil intent and destructive tendencies. Ninety per of the theories of government blatantly champoned by sociastic captors Of former Repubi-
 can stronghods would be relegated to the political dump by the original Progressive and leader of that lwng of the Republican party.
 Senator Staneys criticism of the bureaucratic tendencies of presentday kepubcansm is trerchant and with all it's seeming humor is seriously truthful bureaucracy and mobocracy, inconsistent the com binaton may to be. We drifting from government by elected officials, chosen by the people to a government by appointed or legisated bureaus reformers than to the wishes of the quiet law respecting citizen who would live by the Constitution which has made this nation possible.
 It will be well to follow the urgent caution of Senator Stanley to hold to the democracy of our fathers It be done by following the false lead of socialism with its possible ultimate bolshevism, cloaked it may be- Whatever it may be called. it lis nothing but revivifcation of a the old sms that from time to time have pesered the people of this country for political preerment. If the Brookharts, the Laddds and the FraZiers, indeed, have captured the srongholds of Old Guard Republicanism then it
 is time for all conservative citizens to rally the help of sound Americanism no matter under what banner.

The nomination of Mayor Walton of Oklahoma City for Gov the Democratic primary in Oklahoma is more evidence that the non Partisan League is playing favorites far concerns political parties However, the fact that Mayor Walton openly opposed the Ku Klux Klan and was opposed by the Klan may eave had important bear ing the results. The Non-Partisan League has played with the Republicans in the Dakotas Min nesota.

THE ELECTRIC LIGHT CONTROVERSY.

The controversy over the electric current rates 1T Juneau is that largely resolves itself into ac counting proposition. It is conceded or ought te be, that the Alaska Light and Power Company is en titled to fair interest it's investment. Whether the new rates will produce than that not fl a matter of accounting. It is question of fact that ought not to be difficult for experts to determine
 is conceded that the people, the consumers have right know the facts regarding their public service institutions. They entitled to know whether they are getting the best possible service at fair prices or General Manager Pulen has recognized this fact and has responded to the request for information.
 The Mayor and City Councilmen the custodians of the peoples interests in the premises, and nothing has transpired that would indicate that they not fully cognizan of their responsibilities in the prem ises determined to accept them fully and perform their duty without fear favor.
 The Empires interest in this matter is that of the public-the that of other consumers of electric current. It is and rate payer It has shared the disappointment that all the people have felt the advance in prices It be- lieves that the present is not an opportune time to add to the cost of living and doing business in Juneau. any other place in the country, and that should be raise in the prices of necessities at this time unless the conditions make the raise an absolute necessity.
 However, the showing made would to jus tify the Alaska Gastineau Company in raising the price of electric current to the Alaska Light and Power Company, and, if the latter company were not making than fair return it's investment before the raise it would be justified in raising it's meet the increased cost to it. This brings us back the point that the extent of the raise, and the necessity for it are questions of accounting
 The Empire believes, general proposition. that municipalities should their lighting. power and water plants. That is true for many reasons. They natural monopolies and usually, certainly here in Juneau the municipality is the largest user of electricity and water
 Often, however it is not practicable for muni- cipalities to finance public service institutions. Schools, street work and other public needs require all the money people afford to pay in taxes. That is frequently the in young municipalities, priv capital to this work. When they do it they should safeguard the investments which make possible the rendition of the public service. but the people should not be compelled to pay than the service is worth.
 Alaska communities handicapped in the matter of municipal ownership of public utilities, and en- gazing in their operation because of the fact that they forbidden by the law to create public debt.
 The Empire has faith in the purpose and ability of the City Government to that the people of Juneau get fair deal, and it is pleased with the apparent intention of Manager Pullen to give it all information that is necessary for 1t to arrive at just judgment
