4 SUGGESTION NOT HEARD OFTEN
ENOUGH.

\ EWSPAPER discussions of plans to raise
funds to meet the varied expenses of Mon,
tana's state government recently said that It
is being argued III legislative circles. that
the wise thing to do is to attempt the reduction
of the cost of government instead Of searching
for new sources of taxation
That was refreshing sentiment. Fol
many years the nnceasing search has been fol
new sources to be taxed to allow ever increasing
sums to be spent III governmental affairs. 1t
is time to call halt to that practice.
And while this matter is being discussed Il
is well to consider if the time hasn't also arrived
to stop piling up more and more work for public
officials to do, thus necessitating the paying out
Of more salaries and the buying Of more sup
plies if-the work is to be done well that the law
saws shall be done There IS altogether too
much tendency to add this department and thai
department, to require the keeping OF this rec.
ord and that record the piling up Ill govern
mental archives of data that undoubtedly i
never used to anyone's benefit
There is one way to effect real reduction
in the cost of government; that is to stop passing
new laws in endless number, as Governor Erick
son suggests; another is to stop piling up duties
for already hard-Worked public officers and the
keeping of senseless records and data.

WILL IT BE THUMBS DOWN FOR CLARA

W. HEN one thinks of Hollywood the contem-
w platon is accompanied with thoughts OF the
production of great and little MOVIES of divorce
scandals by the score and rsque stories for the
gossip columns of the daily press. The pro
duction that is now attracting the attention of
the public is the trial instigated by Clara Bow
the red haired it, girl against her erstwhile
secretary Daisy DeBoe, whom Clara charges
with hating appropriated several odd thousands
of Clara 5 money to the secretarys personal
use The trial las developed into a vulgar dis
closure of indecent living by both principals.
each apparently striving to tar the other one az
much as possible with the tar stick of ignominy
and scandals Daisy tells how Clara was wont te
GET drunk how she loved to play poker and
how she was accustomed to buy highly expen-
sive presents for her boy friends.
There is apparently something about tn,
acting profession that dulls the moral sensible
tiles. the standards set up BY the world a neces-
sary for decent living. Unquestionahly the hfe
attracts to it many whose standards are low, tc
begin with, and the temptations seem to be too
strong for MANY others to resist. The life at
Hollywood and elsewhere where the acIlng pro
fession congregates is SO frequently character
lied by RIGHTEOUSNESS, the laying aside of one
marriage after another. salacous scandals anu
loose living. OF course, one mustn't be SO mar
row minded as to class all actors III that cate
CORY. but there are altogether too many OF thu
fast livers for the good Of the profession.
However there is one redeeming feature II
connection with these nasty messes that now an,
then arise like foul vapor out OF Hollywood
The public III general will stand about SO mucE
of this rottenness and then it seems to be
thumbs down for the culprit. Roscoe Arbucklt
and a long list of others have found that to BIZ
true The 1T" girl is right now shaking III bel
boots with fear that she may be slipping Oh tht

has been great wealth for few and abject pow

MORE STRENGTH TO JUDGE LYLE
OF CHICAGO.

CHICAGO has been bitterly condemned for
y allowing gangsters and conuptionists to run
its affairs and to stage daylight murders and
machine gun battles on its streets Perhaps it IS
also to be pitied pitied for having fallen supnely
under the control Of what is undoubtedly one OF
the most corrupt political and criminal organi-
cations ever to gain control Of any city,
During the past week detectives raided a
well-knoWn gangster hangout- III it were
found two safes which have disclosed informa
ton that connect men high III Chicago affairs
with the gangster element, and traces Of which
even penetrate into the halls Of the United
States congress-
This is no new information although it may
be what the law has needed to tie the many
crimes onto the guilty ones. 1t has been evident
for some time that the outrageous reign Of crime
that has made Chicago a stencil III the nostr1ls
Of America as well as of the world, could not
exist without the consent OF a venal police
force, some of>whom, at least, had close and init
mate connection with the gangsters.
What the decent citizenship has needed has
been a leader and he appears to have come

Mr.. Straus Was one OF three broth

His brother Isader, whose heroic
death On the Titanic will be long re-
membered. represented his state In
congress. and was one of the three
greatest merchants produced by the
United States thus far. A monument
In New York city was erected In HIS
honor. Oscar Straus, the youngest
