Foreign Representatives
SMALL. SPENCER. BREWER
(Incorporated)
CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON
Definitely Defeated

Every measure, the passage OF which
would have reflected badly upon the
credit OF North Dakota, was beaten
at the recent state wide primaries.
Voters showed a rare discrimination
between measures which pointed to
tax reduction as against those which
meant reputation of contractural Ii
ability OF most binding nature.
There was no danger at any time
that these measures, creatures of
someone's enthusiastic and unques-
tionably honest desire to assist the
farmers, would be enacted. 1t was
evident in the very inception of the
campaign that these measures were
not to gain any united or special
support by Nonpartisan League lead
ers. Many of them came out defi-
nitely against the moratorium bill
and measures affecting the handling
of mortgages and the operation Of
farming in this state.
This vote rather gives the Ne to the
charges of radicaliSm hurlUl at the
opposition by the I. v. A. campaign
managers. North Dakota voters have
demonstrated belief that this kind of
legislation is dangerous and should
not be countenanced.
Tax reduction measures providing
a different basis OF valuation for tax
alton purposes passed because they
received support both in the cities
and the country. Many prominent
farmers, supported by some of the
leading financiers of this state, got
behind those initiated measures with
vengeance.
Almost identical support was given
to the salary and mileage reduction
measures. The vote was a protest
one from a tax-burdened electorate
which believes that public officials
have not gone as far as they might
in the curtailment of public expendi-
lures
The way is already charted for the
next session Of the legislature. Tax
legislation will be of commanding in
terest. Thousands of farmers, unable
to meet their tax obligations, will be
insisting on some form of relief and
adjustment. Millions of tax-exempt
acres owned by the Bank of North
Dakota will be under fire and some
way must be worked out, so that this
land will yield some taxation to the
end that farmers and city folk are
relieved OF a most pressing burden.
Passage of these measures at the
primary is an emphatic mandate to
every public official for drastic tax
reduction. It is job that must be
we'll done, not half done. Unless a
political miracle happens, those state
officials and members of the leeis-
lature who won by such staggering
majorities last Wednesday will form
the new administration charged with
great responsibilities. This vote should
promote the best kind of public
service and encourage policies born
OF sanity and conservatism.

Miss Earhart prefers to be inter-
viewed sitting down. She has Sc
lected room with a long conference
table. She sits at the head Of the
table. She chuckles easily. She
makes charming designs with her
long flexible fingers. They might
easily be the hands of dancer. OBJ
viously, they are the hands of a poet.
She has picked out room with an
old-fashioned lamp. Glass adorn-
ments on the shade tinkle when the
wind blows against them. She fire.
Quently watches the iridescent pat
terms which the sun paints on the
glass. She has charm, poise and a
sense of humor.
Now and then shirt-sleeved secre-

One of the most amusing back
stage scenes was provided by Queen
Marie when she visited America. A
group of newspapers had purchased
her personal record for large sum.
A representative had accompanied
her. His instructions were to keep
the queen from talking to other pa
pers. And what a job! For two days
this newspaperman had practically
slept outside the regal door to pro-
tect the investment Of his concern.

the auguished eyes, vie for honorS
at RK-O-Keith's, currently and
the honors are evenly divided.
Panama Flc" is a screen play

part opening with a mysteri 1us
young blonde dashing up the
subway steps and into a speak

events of thee years ago which
resulted in the young ladv's

picture but is interesting and
there is plenty of action as there
always is when bad-boy Charles
Bickford has a lead role; there
is q swindle in a Panamanian
cafe, an unusual bargain which
takes us to the South American
junGles, a killing and a breath
taking concealment of the body.
I repeat there is plenty of action!
fearful and Cheerful
Helen Twelvetrees. looking
much like Dorothy Vernon of
Haddon Hall in the earlier Sc
quences, is effectively fearful and
cheerful. Charles Bickford is
ideally cast in a two-fisted role
which calls for little else. There
is also Robert Armstrong. q brief
glimpse of Lupe Velez' young
sister Reina, an amusing bit by
Ernie Adams and a more amusing
bit by Maude Eburne.
The stage show centers around
the appearance of Lillian Roth,
Self-styled movie queen of syn
copation, who sings some we'll
liked songs in a likeable manner,
the laurel wreath going to the
Times Passes BY" number.
Versatile Trio
Sharing the spot with the snlil-
ing Miss Roth are Nellie Arnauo
and brothers, a versatile trio;
Hugh Skelly and company in
Honeymoon Troubles" a bit of
nonsense; Rath Brothers, who ac-
complish remarkable featss of
strength with ease and. last but
by no means least, the delightful
singing comedienne, ColletJe
Lyons with George. Snyder; their
act is rapid routine of laugh
gags.
Peter Laurino conducts an over

are numerous and diverting and
include Krazy Kat cartoon,

these kimonoed members talking

than in the noisy jargon which

the Chinese vernacular. is no aid
in the creation of illusion.
THE Hatchet Man" is a free
adaptation of a David Belasco-

Robinson cast as the traditional
agent of vengeance for one of the

It was the only modernist work

vivid and unforgettable climax.

pearal alce in washington. She Sc
lected as her vehicle MendelS-

than it has about fire fighting.
