Since those pioneer days many subjects have
become obsolete In 1927 the War Department
started a program for bringing the best OF

in charge of the Signal Corps movie unit,
began the practice, still maintained, OF revising
at least three silent films each year.
IA /HEN Hollywood launched talking pictures
w the Army movie mOguls naturally wanted
to add sound effects to some of their old silent
films and later on, perhaps, to produce full
length talkes.
About 1880 the Signal Corps acquired COM

ever, it all too obvious that considerable
groundwork in the movie science was
needed Whereupon an arrangement was made
with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and
Sciences for practical training in Hollywood

to send such a man to the cinema capital for
a period of six to eight months, after which
time he would return to Washington as
technician for the Signal Corps movie unit.

Hollywood for this purpose. Upon completion
of his course" in June 1881. he was detailed
back here and placed in charge Of the Army's
training film program.

VOTE OF CONFIDENCE

VOTE OF CONFIDENCE
The people have spoken. And in decisive voice
they have expressed their confidence in the New
Deal and supported it's candidates, from federal
to county Offices, in nearly every state of the
union
With majority of two-thirds in both the Sen
ate and House, President Roosevelt will have the
legslative-as we'll as the popular-support to
> carry out his program, and during the coming
year we may expect to see measures enacted which
will further the security and social welfare of our
nation
There is no doubt that Congress will be asked
TO consider such measures unemployment in
surance, old-age PENSIONS and federal ownership
OF the banking system These issues have already
received large measure of popular support.
Three new laws were enacted in this state by
popular vote-prohibiting fish traps, limiting real
and personal property taxes to 40 mills, and en-
ablng cities and towns to sell electric power out
site their limits. And in a number of counties of
this state including Benton a power district was
formed.
That the right Of initiative legislation is not
fully understood, at least is not fully exercised
by the people, is shown by the fact that the vot-
ing ON the initiative and referendum measures
was much lighter than on public Offices
According to the results of the voting on the
constitutional amend ments, the taxpayers of the
state are not as yet familiar with matters of tax
alton The constitutional amendment to Article
Al would have enabled taxpayer to appeal to
the state tax commission assessment matters
without bringing suit against the county, as is now
the case. Passage of this amendment would have
saved the taxpayer money, both directly and in
directly, and speeded the process of tax settle
ment
The amendment to Article VII would have
legal1zed a graduated net income tax In 1882 the
voters, by large majority, enacted the income
tax measure which was sponsored by the Grange
The supreme court ruled it unconstitutional and
at the polls this year the people failed to con-
tlnue their policy of 1882, allowing this amend
ment to be defeated
With the tax levy limited to 40 mills there are
but two courses open to tax spending bodies:
10 cut expenditures drastically, or to find other
sources OF revenue The former course would be
the most satisfactory to the Taxpayers but it is
almost sure bet that they will persuade the peo-
pile that expenditures must be kept as high or
even higher than at present, and other sources of
revenue will be sought
Since an income tax cannot be used, it is safe
to predict that sales tax will be enacted in the
near future. In combination with an income tax.
the sales tax has many virtues, but when used
alone, will add further burdens to the laborer and
farmer
The voters of Benton county elected group of
capable, sincere officials and it is our belief that
the citizens OF the county, we'll as of the state
and nation, have much to look forward to durino
the next few years

NEW YORK, May 8. - William
T. Tilden has struck mournful
note in discussing ''our' chances
in the years Davis cup play. Til
den, who was the U. S. cup main
stay from 1920 to 1927 cornered by
a reporter, led with the remark
that he wouldn't give two cents
for our chances to win back the
cup. He wouldn't t put out much
more than that by way OF wager
that we would win the inter-zone
finals.
Now Tilden knows a great deal
more about tennis than any per-
son whose name readily comes to
mind, but, even to those who know
nearly nothing, his remarks stand
as among the most amazing sports
propheSieS of the year.
Reduced to essentials Tilden s
prediction is that while the United
States may have at least an out
side chance of beating Canada and
thus gain the inter-zone final, cur
boys cannot prevail against the
winner of the European zone elm
nations.
Unless there is distinctly screWy
development overseas the European
zone finalist will be either Japan
or Australia. If Jiro Satoh had
not leaped into the sea, Japan
would stand out as the most likely.
