 The Government has not dared to take positive steps against the custom. The fact remains that no Hungarian gentleman can claim distinction unless he owns scar.

"3 BAD MEN" IS HELD
 OVER AT COLISEUM

Laughter and tears, thrills and suspense, these all are experienced by audiences which witnessed the Fox Films epic story "3 Bad Men" which has been showing for two days at the Coliseum and is held over again for tonight.
 Reproducing faithfully one of the most interesting episodes in American history. the opening of vast tracts of Indian lands for white settlement, it possesses an educational value probably never equalled by any screen production up to the present time. Against this epochal background of the struggle of the settlers for the best of the virgin lands and the race of thousands of men across a vast plain in every possible kind of vehicle, is the story of two young pioneer lovers, Lee Carl ton. played by Olive Borden and Dan O'Malley played by George O'Brien. In striking contrast to the portrayal of these two typical young American settlers are the ''3 Bad Men," played by J. Far rel Mcdonald, Tom Santchi, and Frank Campean who give vivid .portrayals of the terror" the "card sharp and the horse thief 7 How these terrible B" guided and protected with their life the young lovers, makes one of the most fascinating stories ever screened.

Editors Note. This is the
second installment of a syn
opsis on Proposition No. /, to
be voted on at Mondays cleo
tion,

BY what average amount will the
tax paid by each resident of the
city be increased'
Approximately $1.o0 per capita.
Will the present dues-paying
membership in the chamber be con-
tinued if the ordinance is passed9
Yes. This viii lbe necessary to
provide an organization to carry on
the work of the chamber as hereto
fore. However, it probably will be
found practicable to reduce the pre-
sent dues.
What are some of the present ac'
tivities of the FL Centre Chamber
of Commerce.
1t has an industrial committee
investigating and promoting new
industries for FL Centre.
1t has a committee working with
the federal and state authorities
with view to opening a short
route to Laguna Mountains.
1t is sponsoring a representative
who will advertise FL Centre in the
Broadway of America Motorcade to
Memphis, Tennessee, this month.
In contemplation of the rapid
growth of commercial air service it
is promoting the development of an
adequate landing field.
1t is the official information bur
eau for the city and is constantly
distributing advertising matter and
answering inquiries.
1t is also the official host to many
prominent visitors and delegations
from other localities.
The chamber of commerce is the
civic servant as we'll as the civic
host. 1t is the means through which
the modern idea Of group action is
expressed.
Argument
Inadequate financial support has
made it impossible for the chamber
of Commerce to carry on its activi-
ties in an efficient manner. These
activities are necessary to the main
tainance of the property invest
ments in the city.
More than two-thirds of the tax
able real estate of the city is own
ed by non-residents. These non.
residents at the present time con
tribute nothing to the chamber Of
commerce, yet their property invest
ments are equally benefited.
Many hours of work are freely

and gladly given by the board of
directors and other members of the
chamber of commerce, but much of
the value of this work is impaired
through lack of adequate funds.
There is no selfish interest in the
proposal of this ordinance. We live
in an age of community advertising
and group action. We need con
certed unified effort for effective
results.
The chamber of commerce urges
your careful consideration of this
nronosition.
