for Near Future

ceptional Productions :- j
Local theatres, together with
thousands of other theatres
throughout the country, will ob
serve the week of September 2
to 8 as Paramount Week. '
Paramount Week, the first
week In each theatrical season, has
come to be established in th mo
tion picture trade as marking the
industry's best effort, and this
year it is expected by motion pic
ture people that this Paramount
Week will be more successful than
ever held neretoiore. i ne pur
pose of each Paramount Week is
to focus the attention of the pub-J
lie on the advances made during
the year in the motion picture art
and to show that during the com
ing season the theatres playing
the better type of pictures' will
warrant the patronage of their
public. J
- With the beginning of Para
mount Week, mation picture pa
trons hereabouts will have put be
fore- them a fare of motion pic
ture : entertainment surpassing
that ever before shown upon the
screen. Advices from producing
centers states that never before
in the history of motion pictures
have there been so many big and
really worth while film produc
tions waiting for release as there
are at this time. Critics of mo
tion pictures who have been de
manding that the film studios de
velop their opportnnit!es are
promised satisfaction this year in
prospectuses issued by producing
companies. . . ;
As one of the steps toward rais
ing the artistic standards of pic
tures, the producers of Paramount
Pictures, the Famous Players-.
Lasky Corporation, have reduced
the number of pictures which they
will release this year. ; Two years
ago there were 104 Paramount
Pictures released between Septem
ber 1st and August 31st. Last
year there were 82, and this year
there will be only 52, or , one a
week. Although the number of
pictures has been radically re
duced, all of the production re
sources of the Famous Players
Lasky Corporation has been kept
intact and will be eoneentrated on
the production of these fewer pic
tures. Each of the pictures ae
cording to an announcement 'by
the heads of the Corporation, will
be bigger in every way than any
pictures hitherto produced by the

JULY SALES BEAT
ALL STATE RECORDS
Nearly 8,000,000 Gallons of
Gasoline Sold," Says
Kozer's Report ;
The high record for gasoline
sales in Oregon was broken in
July, when a total monthly dis-
ribution of 7.885,548 gallons was
reached. ; The July sales" exceeded
those made during August, 1922.
by over 1.100,000 gallons, ac
cording to a comparative state
ment compiled by Secretary of

erating within the state. The Lit
ter month previously held tha
record for heaviest disposals.
The July tax on motor vehicle
fuels produced a total revenue of
$245,458.58. Of this amount
$80,633.91 resulted -from the op
eration of the original law Im
posing a tax of 1 cent per gallon
on gasoline and Vi cent per gal
lon on distillate, while $104.
824.67 was returned under the
additional tax law providing for
a uniform rate of 2 cents per gal
lon on all kinds of motor vehicle
luels. "
As compared with the preceding
month, gasoline sales during July
shows an Increase- of over 18 ier
cent, distillate sales having in
creased pearly 52 per cent.
To date, the motor vehicle fuela
lax measures have brought to the
state v treasury the total sum of
$3,929,745.31. Of the amount
collected under the law of 1921,
there has been returned up toy
August 31, 1923, the sum of $66
613.98 to operators of farm trac
tors, motor ; boats, commercial
cleaning establishments, etc., pur
suant to that provision authoriz
ing refunds of taxes on such no
tor vehicle fuels as are used for
purposes other than in the opera
tion of motor vehicles upon the
public highways. .
