AT THE MOVIES
Capitol Picture Is
Romantic Spectacle

On the screen Of the Capitol thea
ter there lives today a mighty spec
tacle Of hope and romance. adven-
ture and history.
1t is the ambitious RKO-Radio
Production. THE Conquerors," CO.
starring Richard Dix and Ann Hard
inee which opened yesterday.
A sweeping story of the United
States, from 1873 to 1882, THE Con-
querors" brings an inspiring and en-
couraging message to every man and
woman and child in Bismarck.
So tremendous and overwhelming
is the theme of this timely motion
picture, that one emerges from the
theater with a courage to face any
task: an ambition to surmount any
barrier and faith to conquer any
problem.
The film makers have taken g.
great expanse Of canvas and there
on painted stirring story of believ-
able human beings whose vision
founded banks, built railroads. Great
ed monographs, harnessed electrici-
ty, discovered the use of steam, in
vented flying machines and submar-
ines and the many other miracles
Of science that have made our civil
ization the most advanced in the
world.
One can not attempt to analyze
this film product In the category Of
motion picture. It is much bigger
than Just 50 many thousands OF feet
of film.

14-Year-Old Will

Will Rogers confesses that he mad.
his first public appearance when he
vas fourteen years old. He competed
in a riding contest at Oklahoma and
won it.
This marked the turning point in
his career, says Rogers. Had he been
defeated. it is more than likely that
he would still be q cow-hand some-
where. or maybe he'd be a preacher
as his mother wanted him to.
Winning the contest stimulated
him to 60 on, and it led to wild west"
shows and finally to the stage and to
pictures.
His advice to movie struck folks is
TO buy good twelve foot rope and
practice with it. If they don't sue

and therefore that function Of gov
eminent should be taken over by the
county: that township assessors
should be eliminated for efficiency
sake and that the township election
organization Is unnecessary.
It adds that ''none of the govern
mental functions Of the township or
ganization are of sufficient impor-
lance to warrant continuance Of this
governmental unit"
IF further argument for its aboli-
ton were necessary, 1t might be
added that the administration Of
county government is often ham,
pered by the existence of the township
This Is true especially in the mat
tiers OF road building. poor relief and
the assessment of property. There
are needless Implications Of effort in
the administrations of these func-
tons"
Should the township be retained
the commission recommends as an
alternative that the office Of the
township justice be abolished, with
the county commissioners empowered
to appoint justices of the peace at
strategic points in the county.
It also recommends that the lcgls-
1ature abolish the office of township
treasurer, vesting the duties Of that
office in the county treasurer and
that the township clerk be appointed
from membership Of the township
board, thereby decreasing the num-
Der of township officials.
Would Review Budgets
Turning to recommendations for
effective economies in cities, the
commission advocates law estab-
fishing board of budget review in
cities of 1000 or more. This budget
board, the report explains. would be
charged with the duty of reviewing
all preliminary budgets and with the
passing of the final combined budget
of the taxing unit with full power
to approve or disapprove any budget
item. The suggested board would be
made up of two members from the
city or village board. two members
from the school board, one member
from the park board. two members
representing the public at large, ex-
Cept in cities where no park board
exists, then increasing to three the
number representing the public at
large.
The commission would compel all
proposed bond issues to be submit
ted to the budget board for approval
or disapproval.
Under the other recommendations
relating to villages and cities, the
commission suggests that the law re-
lating to sale of warrants be amend
ed to require actual sale of them at
not less than par and accrued inter-
est prior to the actual letting of a
contract for public improvement
against which the warrants are is
sued. 1t also favors legislation pro-
hibiting the payment of any pro-
ceedings fee or attorney fee in con-
nection with the warrant issue.
Where special assessments are TO
be charged against property, the
commission suggests providing for
special notices to the owners as to
the amount to be assessed so the
property owner will be fully informed
vt all times concerning the project
and can approve or protest 1t before
contracts are let.
The commission recommends an

The ascent to the kernel of the
fort is like the entrance to a
palace of the Arabian Nights.
Passing through six gateways Of
massive, elaborate design, one
reaches the broad road that
leads to the summit. Elephants
are provided for important visi-
tors, but even if it is less ma
jestic it is quicker to ascend
on foot or to drive by car
through, the southeast entrance.
Then one comes at length to
the glorious palace Of Man Man
dir, the palace of Raja Man
Singh.
The exterior is covered with
tiles of brilliant color and eX-
quisite design. Ducks, elephants
and peacockS in green, blue
and gold mosaic tighten and
enhance the massive contours
of the fort. The interior of the
Mandir is nowise inferior to its
exterior. Time has melloWed
the sandstone to a warm,
cream color.
Beneath the ornate halls are
gloomy dungeons, for oft in its
history the fort has been used
as a prison and there is a grim
burial ground for those who
were traitors to the state.

there's any value to this space,

The wise aren't merry
They are very lonely;
The brave aren't popular
They are a Public Nuisance;
The strong aren't rewarded
They are put on the spot.
Nor is the reason for this
hard to find. Wisdom. courage,
strength, and all the other
virtues listen lovely in theory,
but are darned difficult and
dangerous in practice. They
are so difficult and dangerous
that we lazy, coWardly, conceited
humans duck practicing them
whenever possible.
Accordingly, we have made
for ourselves a social framework
which looks heroic and civilized,
but which actually requires the
minimum of sense, strength,
and courage. All one needs to

False Economy

teachers salaries have been re-
duced as much as 40 per cent.
Thousands of American teachers
today are receiving less than a
living wage.
In some States, more than
one-half of all the teachers now
employed will not be paid as
much as $400 for their services
during the current school year.
This is only about one-half of
the minimum fixed in industrial
codes of fair competition ap-
proved by the Federal Govern
ment for unskilled labor.
At a county teachers meeting
recently held somewhere in
Missouri" when the question
was asked how many this year
would receive a salary of 5000,
not one hand was raised.
In many States teachers are
still holding unpaid warrants for
last years wages. The total
amount of unpaid salaries now
due American teachers is more
than $4O,000,000.

work has been piled upon those
teachers who are still employed.

spoilsmen Again

Public schools in a number OF
school districts are no longer
free and the parents are COM
PEELED to pay so much per month
for their children to attend these
schools. In some of the States
where school facilities have been
most drastically curtailed the
expenditures for road building
are 10 times as large as those
for public education.
Behind the back of the Amer
lean people the spoilsmen OF
politics have been raiding the
schools instead Of reducing
budgets by recognizing State,
county and local governments
and by eliminating the fragrant
waste of public money that in
evitably attends the operation
of the spoilS system.
What is needed to enable
American education to resume
its progress is an awakening OF
the public conscience and a
mobilization of public sentl-
ment in support of national
drive to save the schools from
the sapping expeditions against
them for which the Spoilsmen
of American politics are to
blame.
If American education week
helps to inform the average citi-
zen regarding the emergency
which has overtaken public edu-
cation in this country, it will be
a week we'll spent by those who
contribute by word or deed to
its general observance.
Public education is the birth
right of every American and the
cornerstone of the American
system of government. No COM
munity can find the road to
recovery by denying free educa-
ton to its children or by paying
it's teachers less than a living
wage.
