Over Night News
; Help the census enumerators when they come to your
s .oor by giving, all the information asked for. They may
eem: inquisitive and it may be embarassinjr for some femin
ne citizens of uncertain age, but the questions are all deter-
lined by law and have to have answers.
4 The failure of any optimistic candidates in either party to
' ile in opposition to Fred Kiddle for the senator.ship from
Jjnion, Umatilla and Morrow counties indicates the general
Appreciation of this district for Mr. Kiddle's ability and in
fluence in the legislature. He will, without doubt, be presi
dent of the senate in 1933 and will have a position of utmost
mportance for this district. Voters are to be congratulated
, n refusing encouragement to any opposition.
The movies, !tmdor the direction of Will Hayes, propose 'to
urify themselves. A new code of ethics liati been produced,
: pproved, sworn to, and so forth. The1 iiso of liquor. ; (in' :pic
ures only, of: course) shall be restricted "to the actual
equirements o characterization or plot." Scenes of passion
ill not be introduced "when not essential to the plot."
vlso "undue" or indecent exposure is forbidden such ex
posure being duo, we assume, when it is "essential to the
. lot," In other words, the ntovies are going to be pure when
nd if the plot- producers aren't smiart enough to make racy
cenes essential. Which reminds us of the opinion of a
ertain state attorney general who was asked to define what
;onstituted indecent exposure in printed advertising bill
oards, etc. He said that the federal government had set
fi arbitrary rulo as to what was intoxicating liquor at ono-
alf of one per cent alcoholic content and therefore ho
Jssunied that the same percentage of clothes could well be
Stablished as the limit of indecency. Anyhow, it looks
ko: the movies were proceeding on the basis "when not
ssential to the plot."
Senator Jones, of Washington, assails the nrohihitum noil
If the Literary Digest, and says women in his state assert
jallots were being sent principally to men and to wets. He
hus gives the Digest credit for being smarter than the
erago person would believe possible, lie insinuates that
he Digest has gone to the tremendous exnense and troublo
fc finding out the prohibition sentiments of some twenty
Ullion people before sending out the ballots hand-nickimr
hem, in other words, so that the result in favor of the wets
ould be assured. If he can think of anything any more
nprobable than that, we'd like to know what it is. WIipIIipp
