politics, Chapman Reveromb Rcmh
iican candidate for governor. In HI
address here last night aSsailed the
state administration for its failure
to maintain the great road system
which was built at the expense of
the taxpayers.
He called particular attention to
he present condition of the roads,
showing their state Of delapilntion
and ruin. Only short time ago. he
asserted Good roads connected prac-
tically every community i'm West Va.
but today how different and sad the
situation He asserted the entire
road department should b. removed
from politics, and devote itself to
building roads rather than playing
some political debt. where" he
asked, "has the many experienced
engineers gone" and who fills their
places today:'
Mr. Revercomb took stand a.
lgainst the loan shark law, which per
mits small loan companies to charge
the citizens Of this state az high AZ
AZ percent interest on small loans and
asserted he favored an immediate re
peal of this law by allowing only II
reasonable interest charge i'm any
case.
He continued by advocating the re-
mOval of the sales tax from food
lstuffs, declaring. ''such tax Is q tax
on life ITSELF. Speaking Of the cause
for the many and various taxes now
imposed on the citizens. the speaker
pointed to the great army Of employ
ees on the state payroll, and declared
that only when the state quits adding
usless bureaus and employees can
taxes be tessenetl. The state shhoahl
employ only such numbmer of people
ITO operate an efficient state govern
ment; then and then only can the
taxes be reduced
"a the time our great capital was
built. many of our citizens wondered
how long 1t would take us to grow
up to it. But" he added. lit took the
the Democratic administration only
about sixty days to do 1t, and now
bureaus and commissions are SQUAD
bling with each other for more room.
Advocating measures for the sup
port of aged dependent persons. the
sneaker declared he could not under

 T tried to reason with them and all I got was argument" he de- clared. T told the pair of them they could guard the Roosevelt children all they wanted, to, but at the same time they had no right to come down on the beach and drive 50 fast they might kill the children of some other family"
 At police headquarters, Hardness gave Droney a summons for appear ance in court Saturday.

GERMANY ENACTS
 LAW ON MOVIES

[ Berlin, July l6.-CUP)-A law was promulgated today which extends all the way to Hollywood the Nazi censorship over American movie films.
 It empowers the ministry of pro- paganda to ban from the country all films of any foreign company which, in disregard of official warning, dis tributes abroad films which have s'an injurious tendency or influ- ence" on German interests.
 Further, the censorship includes films in which are portrayed actors whose previous films have been banned. Thus the law indirectly emphasizes the Jewish problem which has figured largely in censor ship of American films in recent months.
 The law would permit the minis fry of propaganda to force any foreign distributing company out of business, SO far as Germany was concerned. It Is known that one of mo three American companies dls- erihuting films in Germany already has been warned that it hes distri- nulcd films which tend to discredit permany.
