 American shipyard, "The Strangers
 Banquet made in association with
 Goldwyn Pictures Corporation It was seen for the first time in Juneau at the Palace Theatre last night. In point Of magnitude this is certainly Mir. Neilans greatest production and 1t ranks among the countsy's finest photoplavs. In dramatic intensity. in the thrill of action, the appeal of young >love, and the spirit of real ! ity. it has seldom been equalled. It is not merely screen entertainment,
 but is great drama magnificently de- piotsd.
 The story is told against back ground of shipyards and the romance of building great ships destined to play the seven seas. Old Shane But | Ter Keogh (acted by Hobart Bos- worth) has made a fortune out of his business to his son John (Nigel Barrie) and his daughter Derith
 Claire Windsor). At once the strang-
 CTS who hope to banquet at this gold en feast began to gather.
 There are many thrills in the pie ture, emotional climaxes that mooisten the eye and aD unforced strain of comedy. It is great picture, per fectly acted by Claire Windsor. Ho-

Remarkable Law.

Some of the early laws of Nebraska
were unusual, if one may suppose the
wording of them to have bee lnten-
tional. One such law, enacted by the
Legislature, was widely copied and
afforded much amusement. Accord

and committed any unfortunate jus,
tice to Jail or made him pay costs II
he rendered judgment in carrying out
the requirements of the act.
For the violation of the third sec
ton of an act to license and regulate
the sale of malt, %spirituous and vim

on proof of the violation of the said

whole amount of costs, and be COM

HOW D. c.
TAXES ARE
SPENT
Major ]. Franklin Bell Cites
Expenditures for Various
Municipal Activities.
BY MAJOR j. FRANKLIN BELL,

BY MAJOR j. FRANKLIN BELL,
Engineer Commissioner, d. c.
The auditor of the District of
Columbia has prepared a chart
showing the relative amount Of
taxes expended for various purposes
in the fiscal year ended June 80,
1923. This is shown graphically
and by tabuIation on the attached
chart by supposing that each dollar
expended had had its proportional
amount applied for the purposes in
dicated.
It IL believed that this tabulation
will be of interest to the taxpayers
Of the District for two reasons:
First, it shows just how their
money is being expended; and,
secondly, it will serve to call atten-
ton to the benefits derived from
the taxes paid.
It is the duty and purpose of the
officials of our District government
to expend this money so as to give
the residents, and the National
Government the greatest benefits
possible.
AOu T6T Coub 1OF k1caALn.
Reference to the table will show
that about 10 per cent Of our taxes
are expended for health and santa.
ton, i. e., for the maintenance of
the Health Department, for the con.
struction and maintenance Of sew.
ers, the cleaning of streets and the
disposal OF garbage, trash and
ashes.
About 10 per cent is spent also
TOR the construction and mainte.
nance Of streets, roads, sidewalks.
bridges and for lighting our streets.
Our schools and public libraries
take about 35 per cent of the total.
me expenses for general admins
tratton and for our courts comprise
nearly per cent.
Expenses pertaining to the pro.
lection Of life and property, 1. e..
for the police and fire departments
and for similar activities amount to
over II per cent.
Hospitals and Homes.
The cost of our charitable and
corrective institutions; /. e., of hos.
pitfalls, homes for the INDECENT, help
less and insane. and of jails and
reformatories, amounts to nearly
14%.
Our parks, trees and Fairgrounds
cost SO of the total.
The remainder is spent for in.
creasing the water supply, and for
incidentals; /. e., about go.
1t would not appear to be out
OF place here to call attention to
the fact that most of these ex.
penses are for the absolute neces.
sites Of modern city life. Most
American families spend large sums
Tor nOnessentials and for appear
ance sake. The amounts spent in
the United States for tobacco,
candy and chewing gum are very
large. While 1t is the duty of
every public official to see to it
that every dollar of the public
FUNDS is spent as wisely and eco
nomically as practicable, it would
appear TO be in the interest of
good government and for the sta.
hiiity OF our American institutions
to call atten ton to the fact that
perhaps no expenditures made from
the family budget bring such great
benefits as those spent for taxes.

President Coolidge, by the posi-.
ton he has taken toward the milf
tary plot in Mexico has with one
stroke destroyed the belief held by
the plotters that the Washington
Government would look upon their
armed undertaking with favor
said Obregon. HE has demon
strated in a most practical way his
true policy toward the Mexican cen.
trail government. He has estab-
lished a sounder foundation and has
gained more ground than was ac-
complished by any other statement
by his predecessors no matter how
eloquent.
Conspiracy Regulated.
"The military conspiracy to over.
turn the government Of Mexico al
ready had been repudiated by a
great majority OF the people in the
great republic on our north. Presi-
dent Coolidge. like the real demo
cratic President he is, has echoed
the convictions of his people.
President Coolidge has chosen
the shortest and straightest road
to follow and from that road there
is not the slightest possibility Of
any departure.

them to the noble people Of the

president my sincere wishes for q

of the United States"
Reviews Plans.
Obregon reviewed the military
plans with the utmost frankness.
He said the federals had the situa.
ton we'll in hand and felt no doubt
about the outcome.
"It looked pretty critical a short
time ago, but you may now say
the government dominates both the
west and SOUTH" Obregon added.
"It will be a question of only a
short time until the forces now in
rebellion will be disintegrated. The
advance in Jalisco, is rather for
the purpose Of giving battle to Gen.
Estrada's rebel army than the cap
ture Of Guadalajara."
