grave and manifest incompetence or cor
ruption. The principle was never in
tended to settle differences of opinion
on appointments or questions of policy.
Far less was it intended as a means OF
threatening, coercing, embarrassing or
Furnishing elected office holders.
AS corrective to be used in an emer-
gency it is an instrument of representa-
tive government; as a weapon IN the
hands of disgruntled politicians or dis
appointed office seekers, it is menace
to the democracy.
There are less expensive and more
useful ways of dealing with unempoy-
ment than that of providing work for
recall petition signature collectors.
Furnishing officials by means of the
recall is really Furnishing the communi-
ty by filming it the cost of an unnecessary
special election.
The above article is not ours 1t is
taken from today's editorial page of the
Los Angeles Examiner, but it comedies
perfectly with the previously-eXpressed
opinion of The Press on the recall.
AS the Examiner points out, the recall

corruption ana 1urInef, aS weapon

Particularly important in these days
when economy is essential in the expendi-
ture of public funds, is the last para
graph which stresses the fact that the
community is really the sufferer from a
recall because it must bear the cost of
an unnecessary special election.
1t is not difficult matter to get sig
natures to a recall petition any more
than it is to get signatures to any sort
of petition. The danger of signing peti-
tions without careful thought being CIV
en- was never more forcibly demonstrat-
ed than the incident in a midwest city
last year when a petition nominating
Zangara assassin of Mayor Cermak of
Chicago and the attempted assassin of
President-Elect Roosevelt, for the office
of mayor, received more than enough
names to place him on the ballot
Taxpayers, who must bear the cost of
an election, should think twice before
saddling themselves! with such expense.
Non-taxpayers should also do plenty
of thinking for they are not playing fair
with the taxpayer when they compel him
to pay for an unnecessary election.

Maynard in Western
Picture at CAPITOL

Ken Maynard and his remarkable
horse, Tarzan. ride and fight their
way through strawberry ROAM" his
latest Universal picture, suggested by
Curley Fletcher's famous cowboy
song, shown at the Capitol Theatre
tonight and Saturday matinee with
such speed and adventure that one
realizes that westerns are still one OF
the most popular forms Of motion
picture entertainment.
The dashing cowboy performs all
sorts Of daring feats-practically
every conceivable adventure-in the
course Of the fast moving drama Of
an honest ranch hand pittle against
q group Of cut-throats and horse
rustlers. Not only IS there q clash
between humans, but between horses
and between men and beasts as we'll
as Ken subdues the strawberry roam.
q wild horse who Is king Of the range.
And Ken no less artfully disposes
OF the ranch foreman. who is rustling
his boss cattle on the side and who
has the idea that he Is going to win
the boss daughter, played by that
ever charming and beautiful Ruth
Hall, companion Of Ken on many Of
his recent adventures.
The plot is exceptionally well
handled from start to finish, and GER
tainly contains no illogical or unbe-
lievable elements. The story by Nate
Gatzert IS exceptional and the direc-
torial work OF Alan James brings It
out In flashing style. The scenic eff
fects are superb, and typically south
western.
Harold Goodwin makes q convinc-
Ing villain, and Frank Yaconelli, as
the singing and rhyming cowboy, and
William Desmond, as the kindly ranch
owner. give splendid performances.
All Of the cowboys are true to type.

The college influence in major league baseball or, to be more exact, the quantity of talent re- cruited from the campus, never has been dc minant in the big show but we are able to report, after some research, that the quail ity is such as to give the sandlot brigade brisk argument.
 Naturally the rough and ready school of production got a run ming start on educated ball-tosse1s. It was not until after the turn of the century and the lifting of the national game to higher, more lucrative plane that it appeared there was any inducement for 8 college star to forsake business or the arts for sport.
