PAGE FOUR THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1922 CapitaMourna! Salem, Oregon An Independent Newspaper, Published every evening except Sunday. Telephone 81; news 82 GEORGE PUTNAM, Editor and Publisher American Valuation Some Oregon newspapers are urging their readers to sign petitions for the adoption of the "American valuation plan" in the proposed Fordney tariff bill. The American valuation plan mean that duties will be charged on imports with the established selling price in American markets as a basis instead of the actual cost in foreign markets, as heretofore the case. By this ingenious device, importers will be forced to pay duty upon valua tions fixed by American trusts in the United States. The steel trust, which demands double the price from American consumers that it sells the same products abroad for, will have its monopoly protected by the American val uation plan, for the person seeking relief abroad would have to pay duty upon the price fixed by the trust for Amer ican markets, instead of the price the products were selling abroad for. The newspapers, which have been forced by the rapacity of the coast newsprint trust to seek relief by buying abroad, would have to pay duty on paper imported on the valua tion fixed by the trust for its home victims, to escape which the publishers go abroad. For instance, when coast mills demanded and got 8 ents for paper costing less than two cents a pound to manufacture, and which could be and wa3 bought in Europe for two and three cents, the news papers now clamoring for American valuation, would have to pay on eight cent valuation instead of two cents. The American valuation plan is a clever device to strengthen the hold of the profiteering American trusts and monopolies. Want Dry Law Modified Modification of the Volstead act to permit resumption of the manufacture of light wines and beer is demanded by the executive council of the American Federation of Labor, which claims that investigation of the workings of the enforcement law makes change imperative. It asks for a "reasonable interpretation of the 18th amendment in order that people may not suffer from an unjust fanatical interpretation." The following is set forth declaring that there has been: 1. A goneral disregard of the law among all classes of people, Including those who made the law. - 2. Creation of thousands of moonshiners among both country and city dwellers. 3. The creation of an army of bootleggers. 4. An amazing Increase in the traffic In poisons and deadly concoctions and drugs. 5. An increased rate of Insanity, blindness and crime among users of these concoctions and drugs. 6. Increase in unemployment due to loss of employment by workers In 45 Industries directly or Indirectly connected with manu facture of liquors. 7. Increase in taxes In city, state and national governments amounting to approximately one thousand million dollars per year. It is further alleged that $110,000,000 farm products were consumed annually by the brewers, necessitating the use of 133,666 railroad cars, that the brewers consumed 50,000 cars of coal and that no small portion of the econo mic depression is due to the unreasonable clauses in the Volstead act, which being impossible of enforcement, make for contempt of law and order.

The best doctors now use less medicine and more josh. The fewer things you take on a journey, the better time you have. Cigarette advertising is much better than the cigarettes. The store that thinks more of profit than of service is sure to go broke. Increased taxation and decreased freedom are a terrific strain on any republic. Ilez Heck Says: "If a man ain't got no sense in his head, you can't git none out." a JS f StarlighT By the Noted Author ID AH M'OIiONB GIBSON A Bealistio Rehearsal "Cut!" came the imperative voice of the director. I raised my head and looked about me wonderingly and then Into Theodore Stratton's face. Were Theodore's words and feel ings Just acting? 'I felt that I should find the answer In his eyes. If It was all merely a part of this Land of Make-Believe I felt that I should die. When the love-making in my eyes met hie they met an answering fire the fire which had caught my soul. I was brought back to earth by the enthusiastic words of the di rector. "You three are some little trio! If you keep on acting as well as you have In rehearsal this film has a fortune in it. I was afraid the little girl couldn't deliver, but, by Jove, she is run ning both of you a close second." I glanced surreptitiously at Maud Sanson. Her face seemed entirely changed. Gone from her lips was the cold little smile that habitually lay there. Her eyes were pinpoints of greenish light. Theo glanced at her, too, seem ingly with understanding. A queer little look moved over her face. "Some acting, wasn't it, Maud? he inquired. The director Interrupted him: "Just let me tell you, Stratton, that Maud Sanson did some act ing, too. You were too busy with your part to pay much attention to her, but I never saw a woman register Jealousy so splendidly." Again the same queer gray veil dropped down over Theo's face. "We'll take it this time. Plac es!" continued the director. I felt my body glow at the thought of once more feeling Theodore Stratton's arms about me. I was afraid that I couldn't keep from my eyes a look of eager anticipation and I was glad that I faced away from the camera. "Now, Stratton! Turn quick ly, Doris!" He didn't have to give any more directions, for as Theo glided toward me and seated hlm- seir Desiae me, with his eyes looking deeply Into mine, I turned to him Just as naturally as a flower to the sun. "It Is true that you love me " "Subtitle, Stratton!" broke In the director. Theo spoke into the camera just as the director yelled: "Now, Miss Sanson, come on. Arms about Stratton's neck, Doris. Raise your eyes "soulfully to his. You know how; push him back a little. Title, Stratton: 'Child I know I am older than you are." Up go your arms around his neck again, Doris. Then forward, Maud. Remember, you are watch ing him. Now, Doris, your sub title: Love Is ageless, changeless. I only know I love you.' My mind was In a tumult. Wild thoughts raced through my brain. Did ever a girl have such a wonderful love-making before? To think that into her mouth was put the words that her heart was beating over and over. To think that she could, unashamed before the world, tell a man that she loved htm until her very being forgot to reason, "Cut!" Move your cameras up," ordered the emnipresent di rector. "Maud, we'll take the close up of you and then you can run along to lunch while we are tak ing close-ups of the others." Theodore Stratton moved away as though he was going to lun cheon at that moment. I felt weak and sank on the 'bench be fore which I was standing. It brought me into a direct line with Maud Sanson's eyes. There I saw hate that was murderous In Its Intensity. The camera clicked suddenly, at the word: "Cut! Here, Stratton where are you going?" "To get a sandwich," he re plied tersely. "You don't need a sandwich. Come back here and let's get the close-up of that scene. Maud, you can go to lunch It you want to. You've certainly been doing some wonderful acting, too. I never have seen better." Maud Sanson gave the director a grateful glance as she passed off the set. I couldn't keep my eyes off of her, but it was all im mediately forgotten when, before the camera's staring eye, Theo and I went through our love scene again. "It will be a desecration to show these scenes to the world." said Theo softly. And for the first time I realized that everybody. "Bringing Up Father" at the Grand next Friday and Saturday. probably Aunt Virginia and Na omi and surely Eddie Montforth would see this exhibition of my love. "I don't want to be a great moving picture actress," I con fessed to myself. "I only want to be Theodore Stratton's wife. I don't want to paint my emo tion In black and white for fools and ribald critics to exclaim over." "Say, Stratton, how many times do you want us to take this close-up? I've been yelling cut' for over a minute," Jocously reminded the director, and then he came closer to us and spoke out of the corner of his mouth In the most disgusting manner; "It is a good thing that I got Maud Sanson out of the way. I think I deserve a medal for fore sight. And you are some little actress, child. If Stratton don't look out you will run away with the picture. We will see your name In electric lights soon." I looked at Theo. I hoped my eyes told him what my Hps could not say. I didn't want my name in electric lights. At that mo ment only the age old want of the woman who loved a man fill ed my being. I wanted to belong to the man I loved! Tomorrow Virginia, Maud and Theodore. Livesley News Livesley, Or., Feb. 28.
