THE BARRIERS BILL

legislative proposal has been made in the as
sembly which if adopted the law Of Nevada would
create barber commission of three members, one
physician and two BARRIERS for the purpose Of examining
those who follow and would like follow the barber
ing trade, and at the time would prohibit a
barber from serving the tonsorial needs of those
afflicted with and other contagious skin diseases
with tuberculosis The bill provides that BARRIERS
shall be assessed SIS for examination fee and shall
pay another dollar for card to be displayed in front
of every barber chair.
Possibly the legislator who introduced this bill
moved by broad humanitarian impulse in not de-
string to his fellow subjected to the danger
of infection from the barber chair, but if he had
opportunity TO observe the workings of similar laws
in other states he probably would have hestated in
bringing forth the measure.
Boiled down, the law would result in three soft
snaps for men imbued with the ambition to do a little
Politics at SIS day and expenses, with accent the
expenses, at the of the BARRIERS of the state
profession which by the way is productive of little
enough to those following it. The chances
hundred to that it would keep any
woman from barbering who cared to, irrespec-
tive of their ability to trim hair without leaving
ged edges. Also, it might be hard for BARRIERS to tell
a "Here, you look like tubereuar to me you'll
have to stay out of my chair" In fact it probably
wouldn't be done. And when it comes to eczema OF

few who might, but if there they would do in

AN INDEFENsIBLE REVISION

The senate committee in charge
of the gasoline tax bill, according to
press reports, has revised it with
the provision that all proceeds from
the tax should be placed in the
general fund of the state to meet
ordinary state expenses.
If this report is correct the al
tered section should be stricken out.
or the bill defeated.
Very few motor car owners will
object to paying a special gasoline
tax if the proceeds are applied to
improving the public highways. They
will and should object, however,
to paying a special tax of over
one hundred thousand dollars an
nually for the general support of
the state, when a corresponding tax
is not placed upon all forms of
property.
The bill, as altered, looks very
much like an attempt to effect a
deceptive reduction in the state rate
and shift a considerable share of
taxation to one particular class of
taxpayers.-Reno Gazette.

THE FILM STARS REVOLT

When a well know motion picture star tells the
world that he--and presumably many others of his
craftdesire appear in clean, wholesome pictures he
is doing much to offse1 the unhappy with which
vulgar few have enveloped the industry.
At the time he is procaining league which
obviously has the star and the public side and
the commercial producer the other To the majority
can be added the exhibitor who also, desires to main
tain a personal repute that the motion picture
business has taken stable dignity.
It is clear that the public, Rodolph Valentino
points out the deciding factor in the business, and
if its opinion is respected by the producer any
other cog in the industry then it is because the public
is, temporarily sleeping partner and has not made
its interest equal the importance of its position.
1t is fact that the really good motion pictures
have been enough it is also fact that the
pictures produced by the socaled independent stars
have ranked with the great pictures of high merit
virtually without exception. 1t is third fact that
these good pictures have been money-makers.
Since the good pictures recognized thus by the
public it is wonder that any others produced at
ALL The producer however, reflects that good pictures
are difficult to discover and that long the public
retains the steady habit of weekly sem-weekly
''move," just long he afford to produce any
thing he put his hands to absorb those regular
contributions from The fans.
Doubtless the industry will succeed, in the long
run, in the task OF purifying itself By far the most
healthy symptom IL the revolt of the motion picture
stars themselves and their insistence manner
of idelasm in industry that certainly is allied to
art.

A PACIFIST ABSURDITY-

Socialist members of the Wisconsin legislature would
abolish the national guard of that miltarstic
and making against peace. That would be silly as
abolshng the police who carry firearms which used
in war; and by that token to be listed as equally
antagonistic to peace.
This of the Wisconsin Socialists carries the
doctrine of pacfism to an absurdity. The national
guard is of the most powerful agencies for
possessed by the states. 1t stands ready for mobza-
ton against lawlessness which local authorities
able to cope WITH and by its existence exercise a
lettering influence those inclined to stir up whole
sale violence. 1t provides the citizens of the different
states with opportunity to acquire that military train
ing which is necessary for defense against aggression
and thereby tends to promote peace by impressing
would-be aggressors with readiness to meet attack
Instead of working against peace, it works for it by
furnishing needed agency of defense
Perhaps that is the why the Socialists wish
to abolish the national guard.
