MONTE CRISTO
COMING TO REX
Great Drama Will be
Featured Next Sun
day Evening

1t is generally conceded that the
motion picture has not reached, to
any degree Of permanency, quite a
number of persons in America Just
why it has not is more of less of
mystery. Those few which the
screen has not reached are number
ed among the older folks who still
doubt that motion pictures can por-
tray a story in an interesting man
ner.
However. these doubling Thomases
will have a new joy in witnessing
the remarkable drama adapted from
the famous story, Monte Cristo,
written by the immortal Alexandra
Dumas. 1t is to have its local pre-
miere at the Rex theatre Sunday
night. 1t was produced by William
Fox under the direction of Emmett
j. Flynn.
This story, which has been read by
millions and which will ever remain
as a classic of adventure, love and
romance, provides an excellent
theme for screen drama. 1t is
possible through the scope OF the
motion picture camera to carry the
audience to France, the locale of the
story, and there depict in a faithful
way the stirring adventures of the
youth first known as Edmond
/ Dantes.
Few, if any of the older generation
who have read at all, have never
read this story For this reason
many who seldom go to the motion
picture theatre, will do so when this
great Fox special opens here. This
has proved to be the case in other
cities where the picture has already
been shown.
i The local management states that
"Monte Cristo" is without an equal
as screen drama.
The Everett orshestra has been en-
gagged to furnish pecial music dur
ing the screening of Monte Cristo'

NATIONAL PARKS
ATTRACT MANY
Tourists Spend Over
Two Million in Yo-
semitic Valley

Some interesting figures as to the
value of the national parks in de-
veloping tourists travel to the var
are made public by the Department
of Interior. The figures based on
careful studies carried on by nation
al park officials during the year are
said to be conservative.
1t is estimated that about $4,000
geo was expended in Yellowstone
park by park visitors during the
current year and that s4,000,000 was
expended by these tourists in the
immediate adjacent states and with
In a reasonable distance of the park.
Glacier National park, Montana, is
credited with having brought ST.
250 900 of travel money into the state
by tourists, nearly 100000 having
been expended in the park.
One million and half dollars is
estimated as having been spent in
the state of Washington as a result
of travel to Mount Rainier National
park, the great playground of the
Pacific Northwest.
Yosemite National park, California,
is estimated to have brought $4,000
900 within the state, which was ex-
pended within a radius of 200 miles
of the park in addition to approxi-
mately $2,5O0,OO0 expended in the
park.
The number of visitors to Rocky
Mountain National Park, Colorado,
from outside OF the state is estimated
at $1,000 people, their average stay
in the state ten days and their daily
expenditures at SIS per day. This
gives a total of $5,200,OO0 spent by
visitors to Rocky Mountain.
The value of Grand Canyon Ma
tional park to Arizona in bringing
travel money to the state is estimat-
ed at nearly $2,0O0,000 annually and
this amount is increasing steadily.

State Industrial Commissioner Shien-
tags conclusions as result of the
study of the working hours of $4,000
women over 16 years old employed in
confectionery, paper box, shirt and
collar, tobacco and mercantile indus
tries in this state. The survey in
dorses every claim made by organiz-
ed labor on the value of the shorter
workday.
There have been steady gains for
the eight-hour day in the industries
studied, as Sc per cent of the women
in the survey are employed 48 hours a
week or less.
According to Mr.. Shientag the facts
disclosed by the survey indicate that
the women working 48 hours or less
in the five industries investigated not
only receive m.re pay than women
who work a week from six to eight
hours longer, but in addition have
steadier employment. The report
shows that only one-tenth Of the co.

PORTO RICO LABOR
Makes Strong Protest
Against Absentee Land
lord Control

Washington. ssThe sugar barons
of Porto Rico are exploiting Porto
Ricans, and protest to Secretary OF
War Weeks, according to press dis
patches, against public improvements
that will total s1s,oOO,O00," said San
tiago Iglesias, A. F. of L. represen-
tative. and senator of the legislature
of Porto Rico.
"Tt must be remembered" said the
trade unionist, "that three-fourths of
the people of Uorto Rico are in very
deplorable condition, and are exploit
ed by sugar barons and other higher
up business men.
"These barons, who belong to the.
absentee landlord class, loot the island
of two-thirds of the profits of indus
try every year. To appreciate the
small taxes these absentee landlords
pay in Porto Rico, it is but necessary
to refer to the~indebtedness and taxes
per capita Of the United States and
of Porto Rico.
ssIn 800 cities in the United States
the municipal indebtedness per capita
in normal times was $77.86, and for
the federal government, $1095. In
Porto Rico, in 1922, the per capita
debt was only 1852.
"The average per capita of general
porperty taxes levied for all purposes
in about 800 cities of the United
States was $2782. Many cities, how
ever pay general property tax per
capita of $3405, one per cent greater
than the other cities. This tax does
not include income tax and customs
house and internal revenue.
| ''In Porto Rico the per capita Of
general property, personal taxes, in
come tax and customs house revenue
for all purposes was only $9.70 per
capita for the municipal an dinsular
government-cost payments.
"While the average of taxes in the
| United States are about per cent of
the property taxation, in Porto Rico
our average is 1.65 per cent Our in
come tax collected has always been
about As per cent less than in the
United States.
Through the sugar barons, finan-
cial interests and absentee landlords
protest against the proposed taxes,
they are responsible for the many
thousands of women and children in
the island who are underfed, bare
footed homeless and without proper
| clothes.
| "They are responsible because they
pay these people wages amounting to
only 25 to 70 cents per day, while they
loot the island of thousands of acres
of land in violation of the Porto Rican
act, passed by the United States con-
gress."

TAX CHANGES
Suggested BY Mellon Meets
With VOlley of Bricks

Washington. - Political observers
predict that the tax plan of Secre-
tary Mellon will strike squally
weather before congress adopts it.
The proposal reduces income taxes,
and repeals the telegraph, telephone
and amusement taxes. Secretary Mel
lon insists that his revision is only
possible if congress abandons all
plans for soldiers compensation.
Friends of compensation declare
that the Mellon plan is mainly intend
ed to relieve war millionaires from
paying income taxes, and also to de-
feat compensation. These bricks are
being handled with deadly effect, as
is shown by the refusal of the Penn
sylvania congressional delegation to
approve the Mellon. plan. This is
probably the hardest blow the plan has
received The delegation caucused on
the question. Because Secretary Mel
lon is from Pennsylvania his friends
were confident that these senator's
and congressman would approve his
taxation ideas. Instead, they rejected
the Endorsement and passed resolu-
tion for tax revision that the Mellon
men say is meaningless generalities. !"
This rebuff has alarmed those who
were sure less taxes would be paid
on large incomes and the word has
been passed along the line that an ex-
ira effort must be made or the Mellon
plan will be rejected and soldiers
compensation passed.
