Concerning Water Rates Pre-etection promises should be a sacred trust —a pledge of honor to be followed as closely as it ia pOBgihln to adhere to i a ' the best interest of constituent^. ' Even though it may mean an increase in water rates, The Tiding^ commends the action of the budget committeemen in refusing to sanction the authorization of issuanoe ,of bonds to meet interest on water bonds—the refusal to sanction such action based on a desire to adhere to pre-election promises as closely as possible. It was stated that in issuing the first $125,000 worth of bonds due to some error—the blame plac ed in no particular quarter—early maturing bonds were purchased making the peak of taxation come at a time which is embarassing to public finances. But a' definite promise was made that the money for repayment o f those bonds and interest would not be made through taxation—The Tidings and the voters were given. to understand the water department would furnish sufficient revenue to meet these obligations, * A second incnaBB—estimated at 80 per oent— will not be popular—water ’ UBtrs have scarcely become accustomed to the increase ih rates which were made six months agd—the situation is an un pleasant one— an error osema to have been made and promiBes and p itas gone haywire—but, "in refusing to authorise revenue from taxation at a time when taxation is high and property value« low, the budget committee acted in keeping with public trust. Here a r a a few of the thing« thio movie« won’t, do in the future, according to an offer made before a Federal Trade Commission conference by Louie B. Mayer, representing the picture producers: They will not disseminate profanity. They will not portray nudity. They will not ridicule the clergy. z They will not show traffic drugs. They will not give offense to any nation, race or creed. They will not picture seduction. They will not show arson, the use of firearms or methods of smuggling. They will not demonstrate the technique of murder. Nor is this all. Such things as theft, robbery, safe-cracking, and dynamiting of trains, mines and buildings will he portrayed with special care. With a program such as'th is few people can quibble. And it would he, probably, ungracious to suggest that the pledge carries with it tacit ad mission that the ‘won’t«’ of the future have , been common practice in the past. The important fact is that the movie people are realizing that had taste does not pay. They are beginning to clean house from within. Which is much better than cleaning house from without.—Dearborn Independ ent. » ¿J.Q w itbai -ytumw wff W mw John F.

Another Record How all London ia agog over a clergyman's agsertion that he has found a 17-year-old English flapper who boasts she can drink* 40 cocktails he; tween breakfast and breakfast, is related in this morning’s press dispatches. A remarkable feat, no doubt, even, for a flap per, but most remarkable is the fact that London newspaper columns “ blazon her prowess.” Where the daily cocktail average for seasoned flappers has been from 12 to 15, this Mew stimulation will un doubtedly increase that to at least 25, and so the anonymou» flapper will have made her contribution to society. How different from the precedent established by the young girl who wins a tennis cup, a scholarship or who goes ont to create a home. Happily the latter are in the majority. Perhaps they get less of, the ¡world’s recognition, but their, achievements :ara monumental in themselves, and lasting. The flapper who drinks 40 cocktails today will be mighty lucky to be drinking water 40 years hence. —Klgmath. News. WASHINGTON — -»-The Fail- Sinclair Jury, like most Juries, is an ordinary Jury. It is note worthy that in Washington, where nearly everyone seems to be working for the government, no federal employes are among th«f twelve. In faot. the defense was Very careful to ask all pros pective Juror« not only whether they ever had worked for the gov ernment, tint whether they had aay relative« employed by the government. The non-goveranient employe in Washington Is e peculiar indi vidual. taking him in the mass. He has no particular Interest in either local government or nn> tlonal government, for he haa nt part In them. Perhaps that . is .why few of the Jurors ever paid much attention to the newspapers in general or the oil scandal cases in particular. The government employee gen erally reads hie or her newspaper, even if it’s only the hometown newspaper Sent on by the folks. And in governments, especially in the Navy and Interior Depart ments, there is much interest in the Fsll-Deheuy-Sinolsir cases whleh is not to be found among ordinary citisens of the capital Miss Bernice Heston and Mrs. Annelln Bailey are on the Jury partly because they wanted to be on it.

Photographers had a hard time getting a picture of the Jury.
