Film Salaries
A federal investigation of the fabulous salaries paid to
movie stars during the depression is reported pending. It
follows the referee's inquiry into the bankruptcy of the
Paramount Publix corporation, which was caused in part at
least by the huge salaries paid officials as well as film actors.
In 1929 Adolph Zukor, president of Paramount, and
Jesse Lasky, vice-president in charge of production, each re
ceived $887,500 in salary and bonuses. Samuel Katz, in
charge of theaters, and Sidney R. Kent, sales manager, each
received $710,000. A year later Zukor and Laaky received
$358,614.86, while Katz and Kent had been reduced to S287,
091.89. By 1931, when the company was beginning to fall
apart, Zukor and Lasky had been cut to but $113,616.90 each.
In the bankruptcy case of the West Coast, it was brought
out that B, P. Schalberg, executive director of studios, re
ceived $312,000 in 1929 and $213,868 in 1931. In the first
nine months of 1932, he was paid $216,918 by a concern drift
ing into receivership.
Nearly half a hundred Hollywood actors receive salaries
ranging from $3000 to $10,000 a week. Some 200 others and
about 50 directors receive an average weekly wage of $1000.
Some stars are paid by the picture, averaging three a year,
netting from $300,000 to $450,000 annually. These include
Will Rogers, Richard Barthelmess and Richard Dix.
Constance Bennett totals over $500,000 a year, Greta
Garbo $10,000 a week for 52 weeks. Ann Harding grosses
$300,000 a year, while Raymond Novarro, Joan Crawford,
Wallace Beery, Marie Dressier and Janet Gaynor get from
$3,000 to $4,000 a week. Producer stars, like Chaplin, Mary
Pickford and Harold Lloyd make from $500,000 to $2,000,000
a year. John Barrymore got $105,000 for 21 days work. Some
producers and directors draw from $5,000 to $10,000 a week,
some are paid by the picture, at $60,000 per. Many get a
cut on profits. Louis B. Mayer totals $750,000 a year. Oth
ers split costs and profits for even greater incomes.
With 15,000,000 in the breadlines and on doles, salaries
ten times as great as paid the president of the United States
for compantively little work, do not set well with the fam
ished unemployed.
A Church Discard
The attitude of the Anti-Saloon League and other die
hard dry organizations in voting to continue the fight to re
enact a prohibition amendment instead of devoting their
energies towards promotion of temperance by education, and
endeavoring to prevent return of the saloon, has disgusted
many of their erstwhile supporters. A few days ago the
Illinois conference of the Methodist Episcopal church voted
to withdraw support from the Anti-Saloon League, because,
as the Rev. A. M. Pennewcll declared :
Tills Is no time for childishly defending organizations which have
been successful in the past but which today are useless.
We should throw our Influence toward certain basic and practical
controls which will give some measure of protection to the public.
The example of the Illinois Methodists in throwing their
influence towards legal control of the liquor evil to guard the
public against drunkoness and lawlessness will probably be
widely followed. However, it will be tough on the profes
sional prohibitionists who have made a good living out of
the agitation these many years. No wonder the thought of
going to work has little attraction, hence the futile effort to
revivify the moribund meal ticket organizations.
The Rockefeller report on liquor control spoke of the
remarkable effect legalizing 3.2 percent beer has had in
decreasing drunkoness and promoting sobriety. While we
cannot perhaps expect the Methodists to throw their influ
ence to beer as a protection against strong drink, we can at
least expect them to cease boycotting grocery stores for sell
ing 3.2 percent beverage that promotes temperance.
The Hog Experiment
Birth control efforts of the AAA over hogs to get rid
of a depressing surplus is over for the time being with 7,400,
000 fewer hogs. The farmers however, held back the best
pigs ns well as sows, only 200,000 near farrowing being
slaughtered, yet the spring pork output may be cut 15 per
cent. The goal was 6 million pigs and 1 million sows.
Cost has been $30 millions that went to the farmers,
$5 millions paid to processors, to bo collected when a perma
nent corn-hog regulation program goes into effect, with a
proposed processing tax of $2 a hundredweight.
The AAA holds the experiment worked better than most
emergency measures. It is realized that the $1 a head perm
ium for the sows was not enough above the market price to
bring in the million animals desired. Yet the reduction in
pork production early next year will help prices. The pro
gram gave the farmers cash, and the packers additional pay
rolls while the price of dressed pork advanced 20 percent.
The AAA hopes to reduce corn acreage 20 percent next
year, paying farmers 30 cents a bushel of estimated yield.
A bonus of $1 a hundred weight on all hogs weighing less
than 200 pounds is contemplated. Price fixing at "prewar
parity", about $8 a hundred weight with a $2 processing tax
to pay the bill is in the program.

Later in the day the situation was
rectified, but not until the tea was
cold.
(Coromht. 1833. bs Paul MrIIodi
Washington, Oct. 13 The wise
boys now Joke about the federal re
serve system being an adjunct of
the bureau of engraving and print
ing. Its importance has actually
sunk to about that level.
Within a few months they will
be tittering also at the suggestion
that Mr. Roosevelt should put the
banks of the country on the federal
patronage lists. His control over
them will be that strong.
Officials naively deny It In pub
lic but developments every day
bring us nearer and nearer to a
centrally-controlled banking sys
tem.
The only question Is how far it
will go.
Distance A trustworthy official
suggests that It will be as strong as
the Bank of England relationship
with the British government. An
other likens it to the dominating
government control promised for
public utilities.
Either point may be accepted as
the goal. The administration aoes
not yet know how far It will be
compelled to go, but It Is obviously
preparing to go further than the
bankers or the public suspect.
The credit policy la carrying It
lar along the road. The capital
money market is even now partially
controlled through the securities act.
It will be further controUed through
central credit facilities shortly to
be set up. The deposit Insurance
plan will give all banks an equal
footing under the government
thumb beginning January 1. The
unfreezing of assets of closed banks
by the government will be a link m
the chain.
Also there Is the matter of capital
bank stock to be obtained by the
R.F.C. and the new banking legis
lation now being framed.
Very soon the banks will own the
buildings over their heads but that
is about all.
When that time comes Jesse Jones
will not go to Chicago to tell bank
ers what they should do. They
will conic to Washington to get their
orders.
The bankers will howl about this
state of affairs, but the heavens
will bo deaf to their oleas. Mr
Roosevelt's experience since March
4 appears to have convinced him
that a new centralized banking sys
tem Is essential to recovery. The
wav the banks of England and
Canada held up without failures
during the depression was proof to
him that we need something line
that.
The hard time he has had with
his credit and capital financing
policies ha"c strengthened his ear
lier beliefs.
Booecv Mere mention of the
word "congress" gives Mr. Roosevelt
the nrecos these davs.
Around the White House they
whisper that the president Is much
more worried bv the fact that con
gress reassembles January 3 than
he Is about anything else.
The official word Is being passed
out that he Intends to clean up his
whole relief urogram beforo con
gress con get a whack at It. He
hopes to leave tnem no issue, mone
tary, financial or economic.
For this reason Mr. Roosevelt's
inokesmen snv he nearly died laugh
ing when Postmaster General Far-
Icy prophesied a special session on
liquor.
Nevertheless sum a special sessiun
Is NOT improbable. The 36th state
u-ni Himnlete final action on repeal
December 5. Congress could be
called about December 10 to sit for
a few days and then adjourn for
the Christmas holidays II Ulc presi
dential program Is far enough along
to warrant such action.

There Is hardly a cnonce inai mew

present.

Fairles To Illustrate how psy
cology has played out as a stimu
lating economic factor, a treasury
oinciai tells this story:
A certain newspaper proprietor
once hired a prominent novelist to
go to Ireland and write a series of
articles on fairies. He thought so
well of the feature Idea that he is
reputed to have paid the novelist
110,000 lor the purpose.
Imagine his surprise when he re
ceived a cablegram from the novel
ist a week after his arrival In Ire
land, reading:
Notes The resignation of Alex
ander Sachs from the NRA was due
to his desire to get back Into Leh
man Brothers and make some mon
ey. Government service Is an ex
pensive luxury.
A New York newspaper suggested
General Farley should have United
States marshals patrol the polls In
the mayoralty election. Farley's
friends suggested he call out the
marines who have had experience
with that sort of thing In Nicaragua.
Mr. Roosevelt is looking better
these days. The rigorous training
he goes through keeps him physic
ally fit to a greater degree than any
other official Inhls government,

and there's plenty of hard riding
and bitter gunplay In it as well.
The story centers around Scott,

the man of the forest, who over
hears a plot concocted by Beery, the
menace, to capture Miss HlUle. She
has been sent for by Carey, her un
cle, so that the latter can place bis
ranch in her name, and thus pre
vent Beery from acquiring it.
Scott forestalls Beery's effort to
kidnap the girl, and proceeds to do
so himself, as a matter of protect
ing her. When Beery and his gang
descend on the scene, a gun battle
results, in which Carey Is killed.
Scott is accused of the crime and
thrown Into jail. His pet mountain
lion assists In getting him ou., but
Beery and his gang follow. In the
pursuit that ensues, the picture
reaches a thrilling, breathless climax.
