has been given to the selection OF
stories, the casting of players, and
the choice of directors and building

the productions made under this
policy will do more than anything
else toward offsetting the criticism
which has been leveled at film pro,
auctions for the last two or three

WE BELIEVE 1T.

Premier Baldwin, of Great Brit
ain, declares that affairs in Europe
could have been Strengthened out
and peace and quiet would be the
rule over there today if the entire
matter ofs adjustments had been in
the hands of business men instead
of politicians and private interests
whose sole object in keeping nations
stirred up is to reap a harvest from
war materials. We believe it. We've
seen enough partisan legislation in
our own country to know that about
two-thirds of the muddles this coun-
try encounters could be quickly and
satisfactorily settled if their settle
ment was in the hands of business
men instead of professional politi-
clans. And we are also firm in
the belief that every time a critical
situation comes up and the people
become more and more acquainted
with the cheap tactics of these pro,
fessional politicians the nearer it is
bringing US to the point where the
chronic office-seeker will be forever
condemned and business men put in.

PARAMOUNT WEEK AT
THE ELCO, SEPT. 2 TO 8

The long promised advance in
motion picture art has at last be-
gun In company with other pic
ture houses playing first class at
fractions, the Elco will also observe
next week as Paramount week.
Observers of things cinematic say
that never before in the history of
motion pictures have there been so
many big and really worthwhile
film productions waiting for release
as there are at this time. Critics
of motion pictures who have been
demanding for years that the film
studios develop their opportunities
are likely to be satisfied this year,
if promises and reports from pro-
duction centers are fulfilled.
More time, effort and actual coin
of the realm have been spent on
the production of pictures this sum-
mer than ever before, observers say,
and producers are anXiously await
ing the new season in the hope that
t a n e at motion picture
theatres will justify the tremendous
effort which has been expended to
improve the artistic standards of
motion pictures.
The eyes of motion picture pro-
ducers up and down Broadway are
centered on theatrical box offices
throughout the country during the
week of September to 8, when
most of the motion picture theatres
in the United States will celebrate
the sixth annual Paramount Week.
Paramount Week, the first week
in each new season, has come to be
established in the motion picture
trade as marking the industry's
best effort, and this year it is ex-
pected by producers that this Para
mount Week will be more success
full than any other held before. The
purpose of each annual Paramount
Week is to focus the attention of
the public on the advances made
during the year in motion picture
art and to show that during the
coming season the theatres playing
the better type of pictures will war
rant the patronage of their public.

There's still some unsettled ideas
on the part of the women as to
whether they should be worn four,
six, eight or eleven inches above
the shoe tops, the skirts, we are re-
ferring to, or if the long, short, or
duplex earrings should be used. The
men are troubled as to the best
brand of cigarettes and about the
valve-in-the- head motor. The mara
thon dancers are restless because
they cannot keep continuously on
the floor, in motion to jazz music,
for month. There's a great racket
over the tennis games, and much
splashing in the swimming pools.
Some people have the itch. There's
an unusual amount of unrest all
over the country. The detours are
bothering many people, and fellow
at Champion beach sat on a hornet.
It's an awful time, sure enough,
with so many people working. They
make such a racket with hammers
and trowels, and tools and spindles,
and reapers and mowers, and thresh-
ing machines that it's truly distress
sing. A flivver is made and sold
every five seconds, and the popula-
ton is riding to work, and to the
fairs, and the movies and on vaca-
tons in them. Business is so good
that there is a shortage of men to
carry it on, and the unrest of the
restless is something terrifying.
Isn't it awful to be living in a
country that is so prosperous that
we are all expected to be on some
job? Let's strike and go to Russia
where one may walk, work twelve
hours a day for thirty cents, de-
based money, and be so taken up
with the problem of how to keep
body and soul in relationship that
there will be no time for unrest. Or
we might go to Germany, or Poland,

TAXPAYERS LEAGUE APPEALS
THE g MILL DECISION.

The st. Louis County Taxpayers
League will appeal to the state su-
preme court from a decision by
Judge Bert Fesler in district court
against the league in it's case to test
the constitutionality of the .8-mill
law.
The state legislature in its 1921
session passed an act known as the
.8-mill bill, designed to aid certain
rural schools. The law applies only
to st. Louis county and provides
that the annual tax shall be levied
by the county auditor "not to exceed
eight-tenths of one mill upon all tax
able property in the county"
The money raised from the tax
was ordered apportioned 20 each
school district Gin which a tax levy
of 30 mills does not bring revenue
equal to 500 per pupil" The law
provides that the county auditor
shall apportion to such districts an
amount equal to the difference be-
tween what 3O-mill tax levy brings
per pupil and the amount of 500
per pupil. About 10 of the 43
school districts benefit by the law
The case was brought into district
court to test the ccnstitutionality of
the law, which the league claims is
special Legislation in so far as it ap-
plies only to st. Louis county and
as such is provided against in the
state constitution. Judge Fesler
ruled against the. league in a deci-
sion handed down recently.
The case was first brought into
litigation in Sept. 1922, when the
league filed injunction proceedings
against the county in circuit court.
The injunction was denied by the
court because the time was too late
to prevent the spreading of the
tax, and because the league had
not complied with special proceed
ure set up in the law for trying
constitutional questions. The de-
cision was appealed to the supreme
court, which sustained the lower
courts decision. However, the league
was advised to let the taxes become
delinquent as a test and to face
suit on a delinquent tax charge.
The league complied with the sug-
gestion and the case was brought
into district court again, resulting
in the decision against the league.
The appeal will be filed before the
end of next week, according to
members of the board, because the
time limit for appeal has nearly ex-
pired. Baldwin, Baldwin, Holmes
& Mayall are the leagues attorneys.

The newly elected senator from
Minnesota, Magnus Johnson, dons
the robes of a prophet of gloom.
He sees revolution if conditions are
not changed, says the New York
Herald. Magnus finds that "65
per cent of the wealth of the coun-
try is in the hands of per cent
of the population" and unless there
is a better distribution of this
wealth the common people are going
to revolt against it." What is
wealth, Magnus? Is it homes, where
people have more fun than else
where? In this country 100000
FAM S hold deeds to their homes.
Is it motor cars, joyous chariots of
the modern Rome? Eleven million
families own their own automobiles
and eleven million more are saving
up to buy a gas buggy. Is it in
savings bank accounts? Thirteen
million families have these and their
footings run to nearly ten billions.
In Magnus' own state three families
own homes to every two families
that rent. Are these house owners,
