torist in the last Is years has been
given an economy of nearly so per
cent; that is to say, gasoline that
used to cost 26 cents a gallon is ac-
tually sold today, apart from taxes,
for about 13 cents gallon. Yet the
mctorist pays somewhere around 18
cents, and in some localities the price
is higher.
Tax Cut Would Raise Demand.
If the tax item were eliminated,
there would be so much of demand
for gasoline and so many more motor
cars needing gasoline that Americas
oil fields would not be troubled much
with the pro-ration or curtailment of
production that has been disturb
ing the oil controversy for the last
few years.
And speaking of taxes, there is no
doubt that the American motor car
would be bought by more people and
at a much lower price than cars can
be bought today if it were not for
taxes. Thus, in 1928, the direct taxes
on automobiles amounted to 1891 $780,

Union leaders have sought to simu-
late lsbor shortage by demanding
the closed shop in industry and by

employers to an artificially reduced
supply of labor. Labor craftsmanship
has rarely risen above this monop-

If the Government wants to achieve
"the basic purpose of N. r. A." and
to preserve that freedom which we
think essential to our society, there
Is a simple way to do it.
The way to employ is to employ.
Let the Government set up permanent
Federal employment in competition
with private employment, thereby
creating a real instead of an artificial
scarcity of labor.
This Is what Harry Hopkins at

Under such a system Government
wages become industrys minimum
wages and Government hours tend
to become industry's maximum hours.
Since there is an enormous amount

NEW YORK, November l6.-An in

United States and Latin America was
forecast today by Alexander v. Dye,
director of the Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce, Commerce De-

annual marine exhibition.
The export Of consumer goods has

producer-goods has increased.
The machinery for manufacturing
consumer goods has to a large meas

States. and the process has now ad-
vanced to where machinery to make
machinery is being exported.

factories in Mexico, Dye said. has

use in Mexican shoe factories. These
factories, he added, have provided

a market for furniture. office equip

ST. LOUIS, November 16-Park
officials of IA States agreed yesterday
that Federal aid for State park de-

where the States match Federal
money with expenditures of their own.
The officials expressed this view in
a resolution adopted at the closing

They also adopted a resolution de-
claring exploitation of timber re-
sources of State parks to provide rev.
enues for the States should be banned.

Movie Director Must
Bow to Will of

BY LEMUEL r. PARTON.

N URIED in the movie trade
journals is the news that
- Moscow has booted out pro-
paganda films. drama, music,
opera and art, and that all entertain
ment hereafter must be devised on its
possible entertainment value. Dram
atists and producers are ordered to
| follow the bourgeois method Of pro-
ducing what the masses will like, and
not what they ought to like.
This goes for Sergei Eisenstein, ia.
nous movie director, whose artistic
achievements. in spite of the propa-
ganda overhead, have brought him
fame all over the world He bows to
the decree and will make deliveries as
reuuested-or ordered. His confrere,
Dovshenko, says he will quit the busi-
ness rather than follow the Hollywood
pattern.
Mr.. Eisenstein is best known In this
country for his films, 'Potemkin" and

which he directed in Mexico, was less

He is 38 years old, with a pink,
round, untroubled face and a mop Of
loose black hair. His parents were of
the old Russian gentry, a ship-owning
family, and he was educated for en-
gineering and architecture.
He tough in the Red Army, and
thereafter was a leader in the PRO.

tartan culture, and on the faculty of
the State Institute of Cinematography.
He has earnestly defended propaganda

Harry Epstein, solicitor general Of
New York, defending the States un-

that Taft agrees with him that the
Costigan bill is unconstitutional. But
it is too late to get that across to many
of the colored voters, particularly as
Borah has practically no newspaper
support in the State.
Landon Lived in Ohio.
One of the things that is giving
Landon strength in Ohio is the fact
that for the first 18 years Of his life
he lived in Ohio and went to school
at Marietta Academy. Landon was
born in Pennsylvania, but few weeks
later was brought to Ohio. The Re-
publican State chairman. Ed Schorr,
was inspired to take a poll of all the
Republican organization, all the way
down to the precinct workers, on the
possible Republican candidates for
President, last Winter His question:
naire was sent to about $4,000 work
ers The voting stood: For Landon.
563 per cent; Borah, 20.8 per cent;
Knox, 1872 per cent: Hoover, Al per
cent; Vandenberg, 90 per cent, and
Dickinson, 0.6 per cent.
If there should be a deadlock in
the Republican convention and Lam
don should not go over in the first
four ballots, some of the Ohio dele
gates would doubtless be found vot-
ing for Senator Vandenberg of Mich
igan. In fact, there was a good deal
of pro-Vandenberg sentiment in the
State last year. The continued in
sistence by Vandenberg that he was
not a candidate, however, caused his
supporters mere to look elsewhere.
Then came a Knox boom, but that
faded and the Landon movement got
under way smartly.
The Borah drive In Ohio is backed
by the anti-organization Republicans,
the OUTS. He has been caustic and
bitter in the extreme in his attacks
upon the organization. On Thursday
night the organization staged a Taft
rally here. and to make it all the more
apparent that the Landon and Knox
supporters were backing the organiza-
tion slate of delegates, Chairman
Schorr invited John Hamilton, Ian
don manager, and Edward A. Hayes.
manager for Col. Knox, to take part.
They did. both making speeches, as
did Taft The rally drew a small

enough, and that the vote may be

Landon- -Borah Contest.
Because of the Landon sentiment
among the Taft slate of delegates, the
Ohio primary takes on added signifi-
canoe. In a measure, it is another
contest between the Kansas Cover
nor and the Idaho Senator. The
former, however, has aligned with
him in this battle the Republican
State organization and the friends oi
Col. Knox. And by the same token
the Ohio primary has considerable
significance for Senator Borah.
For long time it has been said
that if he could do well in the Illinois
and Ohio primaries the veteran Re-
publican liberal would have good
bloc of delegates in the national con-
vention and be a power there.
Well, he did not do so badly in the
Illinois primary, for he carried the
State outside of Chicago. He had
there the Republican organization
against him, too, and a favorite son
candidate. Col. Knox.
Here in Ohio, however, the Repub-
ncan organization is far stronger and
more unified than it was in Illinois.
And it is Borah against the field of
candidates, and not against one man,
as it was in Illinois. In way, the
Ohio primary becomes, therefore
