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.

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.
