WILL WE LOSE MOVIES?

Production of motion pictures forms
one of California S greatest industries.
Just how much is represented in plant
investment, salaries and other phases of
the industry is difficult to state, but it is
a certainty many millions are involved.
Then there are other California assets di-
rectly or indirectly concerned with the
motion picture production business,
which represent many more millions.
California would be hard hit if it were
to lose the motion picture industry which
has been built up in the past two decades
to make this state the worlds center in
the entertainment field.
There is grave danger that the indus
try may be lost to the state. Upton Sin-'
clair has stated by the written and
spoken word, that he plans heavy taxa
tion on industries and has also stated
that he proposes to put the state into the
motion picture production business, if
and when he becomes governor of the
state.
The movies can't afford to risk such a
danger and they don't intend to do so.

United ARTISTS flirting with Florida
leaders who are anxious TO move Holly
wood in its entirety to their state.
1t is unnecessary to make any mention
of the rivalry that exists between Florida
and California, particularly as regards
climate a most important thing to be
considered in motion picture production
Florida has climate comparing most
favorably with ours. Also, Florida has
keen desire to build itself up in prac-
teal manner. Instead Of discouraging
industry it seeks to promote it.
Laws proposing the exemption of the
motion picture industry from taxation
for a period of Is years, and otherwise
holding out attractions, have been intro
duced in the legislature.
Florida is on its toes. 1t is willing to
make the most of the opportunity offer
ed to it by the unrest in Hollywood. 1t
is unwilling to offer any inducement to
get the movies and all that goes with
them permanently established there.
California can get along without the
movies, and it can also get along without
its great fruit and vegetable industries,
its shipping, mining, fishing and all
other lines of activities, but if it is forced
to get along without them it won't be the
California we know-it won't even be the
California that the padres found. 1t will
be that most disheartening and desolate

Between scenes in the picture,

lessons in baseball by enthusiastic

Ping Bodie, king of batsmen, showed
her how to bat.

bravely, arching her back, swelling
out her tail like bologna sausage

IMPERIAL VALLEY PRESS
As OTHERS SEE US

While Imperial Valley has been MAX
ing claims for several weeks past of dis
crlmlnatlon in Ell Cajon and San Diego
against motorists from here, it appears
from letter The Press has received. that
the people of Jacumba and other noun
tain resorts feel they have a complaint
against valley motorists who violate the
law in their communities.
Writing from Jacumba, resident of
That town reports the apparently delib-
crate killing of a cat last Sunday by a
car carrying an Imperial Valley license.
The Imperial Valley car was seen to
run down and kill, ruthlessly and appar-
emily purpoSely, large tiger cat on en-
tering this town last Sunday" the letter
states
The car struck the animal and went
on, the occupants not knowing or caring
about what harm they had done Yet they
had taken the life of a companion to a
sick person, pal to the children and a
friend to the whole community.
The madness of speed, which has
caused many terrible accidents in this
vicinity by valley cars this summer, and
which has resulted in sorrow for many,
surely ought to make one think"
The writer of that letter, whose name
is known to The Press, certainly has le-
gitimate cause for protest. 1t may have
been only cat, but a motorist who will
deliberately run down an animal, or who
may hit it accidentally and not stop to
make an investigation, would certainly
not be greatly concerned if it had been a
human being instead of a cat.
We all know who the driver of that
car was-some Anticipated idiot who
likes to boast Of how fast his car can 90
and who takes the whole world for his
oyster once he gets behind the wheel.
Until the sane and careful drivers unite
against this type we will continue to
have the terrible traffic death toll which
is a disgrace to California.
