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.

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.
