pair, Wallace Beery and Jackie
Cooker, and an all-star cast has
been revived and is being brought
to Smyrna for its first showing. A
picture well worth seeing.
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
Gold Diggers of 1887" starring
Joan Blondell and Dick Powell" is
the best in the whole Gold Diggers
series, which has been going on, on
stage and screen, for years. And
this is saying lot, past editions of
this show having been high in the
entertainment scale. More plot,
more action, better actors and
more sparkling dialog than ever
before are the factors which con-
tribute to make this picture good.
The story, which is involved, has
to do with a producer whose part
ners lose his money and get him to
take out a million-dollar hfe-insur-
ance policy. Victor Moore plays
the part of the piddling producer to
perfection, and Osgood Perkins and
Charles Brown give comic perform
ances. Glenda Farrell, Lee Dixon
and William Davidson also contrib
ute good work.

Because of this, labor has taken
place of idleness in prison cells.
Prisoners who are in good behavior
have access to machines for which
they receive money for operating.
Their salaries are not large, but
are better than being kept in
prison cell day in and day out.
The value of labor in prison is
not the wage-value but the fact
that it provides chance for the
prisoner to lead a normal life with
out influence of crime. think the
prison labor activities should con-
tinue in prison that already have
them and that they should be in
stalled in prisons without them.
This Is true because while the pris-
oners mind is on work he is less
liable to take up criminal activ-
tiles.

A Bad Proposal

~ A. Benson Tuesday which appears eX-
t~emely ill-advised is the proposal to grant
unemployment insurance benefits to workers
while on strike.
Unemployment insurance is that part
of the social security tax which is paid solely
by the employer. His benefits from it are
entirely indirect if not totally theoretical in
a community such as this.
To tax employers to finance strikes
against themselves and other employers is
an entirely un-American principle, danger
Gus precedent and encouragement to labor
trouble makers who will find it a wonderful
weapon in fomenting labor disturbances.
The Farmer-Labor party would serve it's
members much better by providing better
labor arbitration methods instead of en-
couraging strong arm tactics.
The new governors acceptance speech
was no more radical than might have been
expected from campaign speeches. Many of
the highly controversial recommendations
had forerunners in prediction talks and
platforms.
There was, however, regrettable OmiS-
sion of strong demands for retrenchment of
government bureaus, slowing down of spend
ing as a form of tax relief.
1t is time we took seriously the menace
