SAYS i MALARKEY
. Arguments against the adoption of
motion picture censorship ordi
nance were " presented before ' the
city council In a two hours' address
Friday afternoon by Dan J. Malar
key, representing the motion picture
operators in Portland. The speech
was aimed at the so-called un-Amer-
icanisra of the proposed measure,
which was termed; contrary to the
spirit of the institutions of this coun
try. 1 I'H-;. ' . Y
Balph C McAfee, secretary; of the
church federation, stated that because
of Good Friday and Easter affairs, he
was unable to secure a proper repre
sentation of this body, which is urging
motion picture censorship, and asked
for a postponement of the presentation
of his' side ; of ; the case ; until' Friday,
April 8. ' This was granted and 10 o'clock
was set as the Urn for this hearing.
- McAfee asked " for an ' hour's time
within which to present the arguments
for censorship. ; -
MAYOtt WAXT FACTS . I
'There will be no time limit," de-1
dared Mayor Baker. "I consider it tbe ,
duty of this council to take ' as much.
time as is necessary a full week. It re
quired to hear the arguments and -to
get at the real sentiment of this com-:
munlty." - j r ..; .; '
. In his appeal Malarkey declared that
section 2094, Oregon taws, amply covers
the matter of the showing of improper
motion pictures and that there is no ne
cessity for the! Institution of a pre
publication .censorship. He urged that
the proper manner of procedure was to
prosecute theatrical men who showed
pictures that would come under the ban
of this section of the state law, and that
a few such prosecutions would be far
more effective toward securing the
showing of wholesome pictures than, a
pre-censorship that was founded Simply
on the likes or ; dislikes of three indi
vidualsthree comprising the majority
of the proposed board of five members.
"FAILCKES A&E CITE
Malarkey called attention to the al
leged absurdities of decisions of motion
picture boards in Maryland, Pennsyl
vania, Ohio and Kansas, where motion
picture censorship is maintained, and
presented a report of the mayors of
clues of the state of New York, made
after a year's study of the matter. In !
which they declared decisively against '
censorship as unjust - and un-American
in principle. : i -,,4 .
He declared the scheme for a censor
ship board in Portland was planned td
create new paid jobs, for which the
motion picture house men would have to
pay, and that what pictures wouid be
s Ho wed to be shown -and what refused
would be based on the individual likes
or dislikes of the board members, from
which there was no appeal. He called
attention to expressions from former
President Wilson, Hughes, Coolidge and
Other, men of prominence, protesting
against censorship in any form as not
reflective of public opinion but merely
a personal view, of the censors.
