The meanest trick Of an vas pulled
BY the Federal Government, President
Roosevelt evidently didn't think our
Governor should take relief money for
newspapers, etc. It hurt Bill, II did, to
think that they would accuse him Of
such shenanigans. And Of course, Is
he said, the only reason It was done
was to influence the staunch and true
Nonpartisans who are to 60 to the
state convention. But some Of the
saloon element are uncouth enough to
say that such thing would hardly
change the delegates votes, because
they have seen lots worse things be-

At least Uncle Sam has Bill worried

arrested. Now with Bill that most
likely means being dragged from your
bed In the middle Of the night and run
over to Mandan and stuck In the jug,
or some place where no one could find
you. That Is the correct method. I
am sure Of that, because Attorney
General LANCER did that to Tom Hall
several years ago. OF course he didn't
expect to convict Tom or prove any
thing against him, but 1t was 4 cute
political trick. Toms friends got on
to the deal and saved the day, but Bill

Editor, Tribune:
It Is undisputahle that when our
forefathers freed themselves from the
bondage Of the English king they
made up q constitution which il we'll

American citizen.
When the leaders Of our forefath-
ers In congress On Thursday, July
the 9Th, 1776, assembled they for one
cause held that "he (the king) had
forbidden his governors to pass laws
Of immediate and pressing import
ance, unless suspended In their oper-
alton till his assent Be obtained"
Now I often thought that this phrase
Is part Of the moratorium In North
Dakota. I believe It imposes On IN

would also pay up back taxes and
would tighten the burden Of taxes

It would also help restore the

Hollywood Star System Will Endure Until Something Better Proposed
Declares Sol A. Rosenbatt, NRA Administrator

"There are less than 500
people in this country whose
names have box office value.
This list is further limited
when you group those with
whom the entire motion pic
ture public is thoroughly
familiar. The industry pro-
duces 700 features annually in
which their service and talent
can be utilized. To build new
stars is q long and a costly
process. Obviously the law of
supply and demand must
apply.
II should call the featured
players and not the stars the
most comfortable figures in the
Hollywood scene. They are not
weighted with the RESPONSE
bility for the success of the
pictures in which they appear
nor are they blamed for those
which fail. On the other hand
they share substantially in the
fruits Of success, have an as
Sured income over a longer
period and are less likely to be
lniscast. Actors such as Lewis
Stone, Walter Connolly, G.
Aubrey Smith and Guy Kibbe
would come under this cat
cgory to mention but q few Of
the very valuable in the
featured ranks"
Ready to Report
Fright here Administrator
Rosenblatt took occasion to ex-
plain that his ten months Of
study and research in the mo-
tiOn picture industry had con-
vinced him that the cost Of
production and the degree of
success for the completed pro
duct do not necessarily go
hand i'm hand.
Frequently q most expensive
picture, on which time in abund-
anCe has been expended and
money lavished, proves a fail
ure. Conversely, pictures which
have had economy in idea and
production budget have sur
prisingly developed box office
magic. There is no set rule
that can explain this. Again
the public Is the jury.
"The mere presence Of great
star or strict adherence to any
formula which has succeeded be-
fore does not automatically as
sure a successful picture, added
MIR. ROsenblatt. I divulge no
secret to the industry when I
say that "LittIe Women was a
