v THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL 10 THURSDAY, JULY 27, 1916. PORTLAND, OREGON.. CENSOR CONDEMNED , FILM THOUGH SHE DID , NOT RECALL SUBJECT Instance Cited as Captious Method of Present Local Censor Board, NATIONAL BOARD IGNORED Kn X. B. Colwsll Quoted m String Buwa Is TUm Manufacturers Con tribute to Its Zxpenss Account. To Illustrate the alleged captious methods of the present censor board in viewing the people's pictures and the apparent dlsresard of viewers for the money value o( a film, the movie men cite an instance of a near condemnation at the Mutual exchange recently. After the viewing of films was com pleted, a viewer from the censor board stated that she had condemned one film as being vulgar and unfit to be seen by the Portland public. Asked by tht manager of the exchange as to the specific parts that brought down her condemnation, she stated that she - did not remember what the film was about but that it was nevertheless con demned. The Mutual manager asked her to review the film and she admitted there was practically nothing objec tionable about it authough she sug gested that some cuts be made In a scene showing a plumbing shop with bath room fixtures on display. Valuable rilms Saved. Had the manager abided by her first decision without remonstrance the film worth several hundred dollars would hnve been a dead loss to the company so far as Portland was concerned. It had been passed by the National Board Of Review at New York City. Statements by Mrs. li. B." Colwell. secretary of the Portland board and an appointee of Mayor Albee, made at a luncheon of the Oregon Civic league torn, time ago, indicated 1. 1 that time that the Portland censors are not guided by the tuIIiikh of the national bi'dy. It Is now understood by the Portland film men that Portland cen sors entirely disregard the National board notwithstanding the fact that 85 per cent of the cities In the United Slates abide by its decisions. Beason for Attitude Given. At the luncheon, Mrs. Colwell stated the reason for the altitude of the Port land board toward the National body was that 11 received contributions from the film manufacturers to carry on the work. The membership of -the board includes such men as Kabbi Stephen S. Wise, formerly of Portland; Andrew Carnegie and Humuel Oornpers. it Is maintained by the i'euple's Institute of .New York City. The film men con Und that the Intimation by the Port land censors that this class of men Is Influenced by contributions from film manufacturers is ridiculous. The movie men feel that their ordi nance providing for a pre-publicity in Bisection of all films shown in fort land notwithstanding they have been passed by the National Hoard of Re view ought to satisfy the most drastic reformer and the provisions for a rep resentative board of 15 members and a right pf appeal to a court in fairer to all concerned than the present mode . of censorship.

IS AMONG BEND PEOPLE Mass Meeting Called for To night to Determine Exact Stand of the Citizens, Bend. Or., July 27. Whether the citizens of Bend interested in the re moval of the county seat of Crook county from Prineville to Bend will change their position and favor the county division issue as proposed on Monday afternoon by a large commit tet from Prineville, will be determined tonight at a big mass meeting which has been called by Mayor James A. Eastes, chairman of the county seat committee, to discuss the isBue. The lines for division as proposed by the Prineville committee are considered to be popular in Bend. The issue is believed to be a more popular one than the removal of the county seat and it is one upon which the local citizens would prefer to work, it 1 believed. The lines suggested by the Prine ville men are substantially the same as these upon which a flight was waged to form Deschutes county twj years ago, except that Terrebonne, which is the proposed terminus for the new rail road which Prineville expects to build. has been left in the old country and moves the lines three miles further east in the Powell Butte section. The Prineville men say that upo.i these lines the necessary 35 per cent of the vote can be obtained without dlffi culty. Recruits Are Lacking. Bend. Or., July 27. No recruits for the third infantry of the Oregon Na tional Ouard appeared to sign the muster roll while Major Hiram U Welch was In town for that purpose. Rancher Has Enough of Overland Travel Mrs. 8.
