Of It's proponents desire IS indicated
~ the fact thai already four huge
EXAMINATIONS have declared their en-
phAtic opposition to 1t and are now
proceeding to resist it with every
ounce OF strength and influence at
their command These are the Amer
lean Farm Bureau Federation, the
National Grange. the American Auto
mobile association and the National
Automobile Chamber OF Commerce.
According to n American Auto
mobile association officials this form
liable array of opposition will be aus.
mented by three other big national
organizations.
Some Of these organizations have
announced opposition to the program
in its entirety while others will con-
ane their efforts to defeating the pro-
posed two additional forms OF taxa

According to figures furnished by

Officials Of the National Grange

%FuMrcArINo THE MOVIES.

Mary Minter, Mabel Normand and other stars Of
the screen could with better crare seize q vacuum
cleaner and help purify movieland than indulge in
glyeerine tears and stage emotion for purposes Of pub
lie sympathy. These former favorites will have to
get right in conduct and stay right il they hope to re-
gain u place in public esteem. They have been brought
as a foul crime, not to be furnished by what has oc-
CURED.
The numerous immoral outbreaks in screen circles,
east and west, has weakened the faith of people In the
entire profession and 1t Is high time that the good
wheat was separated from the chaff.
Press opinion is strongly expressed on the subject of
a moral cleanup. The Chicago Tribune feels moved
to say:
Vested interests In existing populations naturally
nre resisting publicity in the Hollywood affair. vari-
ous pundits of the movie world are busily explaining
that virtue reigns supreme there and meanwhile we
have an exhibition of official confusion and helpless
ness in the investigation of the Taylor murder which
speaks volumes. The authorities are like babes In the
forest of rumor which sprang up so suddenly when
Taylor was found dead in the heart of the great movie
coiony.n In the hubbub, the most conspicuous of the
suspects, Sands, seems to have disappeared as COM
pletely as II he were evaporated. No one knows any
thing Of any value about Taylor and his friends whom
everyone knew. 1t Is the sort of situation which starts
a detective story auspiciously, but It is doing the movie
profession and industry no good.
"We should recommend less protesting of virtue and
innocence and more candid confession of conditions
which call for strong treatment. The trial of an in
dividual or individuals for the murder of Taylor might
be costly to profit making regulations, but it would
help clean house and in the long run It would enable
the industry or profession to get out Of the ~quicksand
of vice and lawiessness, to a firm footing on hard work
end clean living. Other and better founded populari-
ties could be built up and such mishaps as have oc-
CURED in recent years among the favorites of the
screen could be diminished or avoided. Conditions re-
,ealed at Hollywood are impossible for any profession
to survive and the quicker they are expelled from the
world Of moving picture art the better for all concern
ed. Bitter medicine will have to be taken, but it will
have to take it."
, 1922-02-20
CONDITIONS HAVE CHANGED.

Now that the Natrona county Democratic central
committee has formally endorsed John b. kendrick
fo- United States senator the matter ought TO be set
tied and John BIS banner hung on the outer wall.
Settled, that is, so far as the Democratic nomination
is concerned. The election-that is something else.
Quite a number of very well informed people believe
the Kendrick luck is broken and that conditions that
made it possible for his party to elect him state sena-
tor, governor and United States senator in rapid sue
cession have altogether changed; and now he is com
PEELED to present a none too strong case to a very dis
eliminating, solidly-united and militantly-acttve Re
publican party, with the prestige of success and pub
lie confidence in its present background and a deter
mination to carry good works farther afield.
John Hendricks weakness will be discovered to be
that he has been through past years part and parcel
of the old Wilson party that brought wreck and ruin
upon the country. He was proud of it during the
time, but he is silent about it at the present. He
would even now have it understood that he has re-
pointed past errors of democracy and would willingly
embrace certain well known highly-approved and very
popular features of the Republican faith IL 1t would
do any good in his present struggle to overcome a sew
cnteen thousand Republican majority.
Repudiating Democratic doctrine will scarcely be
sufficient to enroll Republicans in any great number,
under the Kendrick banner. We fear John B. will
have to bring more tangible proof than at present
exists; and that while we welcome Democratic sin
ners, properly deloused, into the Republican fold, we
also demand fruits meet for repentance and require
a season of probationary service in the cause to test
sincerity before we are willing to place converts In
the seats of the mighty.

house That is inconceivable. Out Of ass members
of the house there are now sol Republicans and 1872
Democrats. The house is Republican by more than
two TO one. In the preceding congress there were $50
Republicans and 1870 Democrats u the house, q ma
jority of 30 as compared with the present majority
of 169.
In the election Of 1920 many districts went Repub-
lean for the first ,ime in history. but by q narrow mar
GIN Quite likely we shall lose some Of these IL the
Democrats put up candidates who are reasonably ac-
ecptable- The Republicans do not and will not con-
cede any particular district, but any man familiar with
the UPS and downs OF politics knows that districts car
RED in such elections as that of 1920 cannot be held
indefinitely. Many Democrats merely stayed at home
On election day, and If they go to the polls in 1922,
their strength vii. be sufficient to change the result.
1t is the nantes. purpose of the Democrats cam
paign managers to pave the. way for an assertion next
November that a reduction of the Republican majority
in the house is a Reputation Of the Republican admin
istration. There will very likely be a reduction, but
it will not be a disapproval Of the Republican admin
istration. Prior to the election Of 1918, the Demo-
Gratis had ZIG representatives and the Republicans 80,
n Democratic majority of 9. In the campaign in 1918
President Wilson issued q strong personal appeal for
the election Of q Democratic majority as q vote Of con-
hdence in him as the spokesman Of the nation. The
result was a Republican victory with q majority Of IS
Democratic party and could not be otherwise con-
strued.
There Is, In fact, but one way to ASCERTAIN the ac-
tual sentiment of the people of the country, and that
is by computing the total popular vote. 1t is possible
but not probable, that one party might have n majority
in the house but the opposite party poll the largest
popular vote. In general, however, the political COM
an accurate indication of the political preferences of
a majority of the people. 1t Is our guess that the Re-
publican majority will not fall below that of 1919
1920, when we had a lead of 4s members.
