It is reported that the German raw film industry was
little disturbed BY the var and is now IN q very strong
position.
American producers Of film have recent encountered
great difficulties in marketing their product in Ger
many aud France, where high duty rates have impeded
the sales. The pending Republican Tariff carries a
duty Of 20 per cent on films s~ensit!zed but not ex-
posed or developed" while the prepared film carries
a duty OF 80 per cent. 1t is believed that the rates
win sufficiently protect the domestic industry. Raw

admitted free Of duty. All exposed hlm is subject to
the censorship Of the secretary of the treasury.

IMPORTATION OF PHOTOGRAPHIC film

Back in 1911 the United States imported 1I,725,
GOO linear feet Of motion picture film. During 1921
imports were not far short of 200, 900, 900 linear feet.
This tremendous increase is due to the growth in the
import Of what is known as raw film, that is, "sensi-
ttzed but not exposed film" The other classes are
positiyes-the finished film ready for projection-and
negatives, the exposed film from which the projection
positive is made. Both of them are known as ex-
posed film. This exposed film averages about one
tenth Of our imports and completes with the motion
picture industry. The raw Aim imports compete with
the domestic production Of photographic goods. I'm
perts OF exposed film last year were about oue-haf
what they were in 1914, when 20, 900, 900 linear feet
came In, a goodly share of which was undoubtedly used
Tor propaganda purposes during the first year Of the

I'm the lamented good old days." remarks the
Brockton Times, every corner grocery had its group
of cracker barrel politicians who devoted their time
to discussing national and international politics. Home
concerns troubled them not at all, but they were al
ways mighty sharp with the 'goverm'nt.' As a rule
their wives were overworked, their children shabby,
Their houses needed attention and their gardens
needed wedding. They were honest in their way.
though they generally owed the butcher, and the gro
Ger whose crackers they nibbled. They were not with
out a certain shrewd wit in the big matters they ha-
rangued about, but they never gave any constructive
service to the home town. Their opinions never got
them or the world any further along. The poor farm
ferded them in at last. The trouble with this coun-
my today is that we have become a nation of cracker
barrelerJ. We are so busy talking about Europe and
japan and the arms conference and telling the rov-
ernment what to do that we haven't any time for our
own concerns or the encouragement of local prosper-
ity, and we are not getting ourselves or the world much
further along. Intelligent opinion on outside affairs,
openly expressed when it can be effective. is an ex-
cellent thing. But after all, It is in the same order
ing Of our own affairs that most Of US can best pro-
mote our own and the common good"

first TO eat pie, second to pass resolutions urging John

Heretofore all income tax payers have been COM
PEELED to spend a lot of time making out their income
reports. In the large cities it has often been the case
that a long line of citizens would wait for an oppor-
tunity to get the assistance of a government expert
in making out their returns. Those with large in

some difficulty but about 80 per cent of the people

There will be no investigation by
the Senate OF the dismissal of EN-
ployes at the Bureau Of Engraving

This was made certain yesterday
when Senator Sterling, chairman OF
the Civil Service Committee. reported
unfavorably to the Senate on Sen
ator Caraway's resolution, aiming TO
bring all of the facts into the light.
The Civil Service Committee re.
ported unfavorably to the Senate on
Senator Caraway's resolution, aim
ing TO bring all OF the facts into the

The Civil Service Committee re.
ported adversely on the resolution
providing for an inquiry into the

luton calling. upon President Hard.
ing for information as to the mum.
ber of former soldiers and sailors
who have been dismissed in the past

In denying favorable action upon
the latter resolution, Senator Ster.
ling pointed out that the District

because it had never been carried out
