March 4. 1021. the lnited States has
made more drastic reductions in pub

effect that these stories of men com
mitting suicide for love of the "be
witching" screen star are all non
sense and untrue. The public must
be caught coming and going, and ev
er)' twist and turn of opportunity cap
italized by the publicity factories.
It is amazing, however, how soon
these cheap seekers of publicity
crawl into their shells when they find
the public resentful of their adver
tised exploits. The Motion Picture
Owners Association has barred Peg
gy Joyce pictures from the srrepn in
the interest of wholesome entertain
ment. Hence the panic. The free
advertising worked, was a source of
gratification undoubtedly up to the
time this blow fell, but as soon as the
financial bump became known and
the radio quickly spreads the word
these days indignant denials of
suicide stories began to fly through
the ether, and seeming dignity took
the place of complacent satisfaction.
Thus there is presented to Will
Hays a striking lesson which, if
heeded, will lead to a complete re
form in motion ricture press scent
work. The great industry has been
strangled by its press agents almost
to the point of death. They have
run riot for years, and seemingly
they are still at the same old tricks.

if permitted to continue their blatent

aoout a censorious condition that will
be still more harmful. It is time
these conscienceless sensationalists
were curbed and a great industry -be
permitted to work out its destined
place m the scheme of public hap
piness and mental growth unhamper
ed by such destructive influences. If
a few more films that depend upon
notoriety for success are barred from
the screen, and the manufacturers
face a few millions of dollars loss,
perhaps they will then wake up to
the fact that their spectacular press
agents are an expensive luxury.
Seemingly, nothing but an assault
on the pocketbook will affect them.

Slats' Diary
By Ross Farquhar
Friday Pa and me has got a joak
on ma all tho she dussent reckonize
$907,000,000 less money to be taken
in taxes trom the pockets of the Am
erican people. It is a saving which
is set forth in the report of the Di
rector of the Budget to the last de
tails in dollars and cents. It is not
imaginary; it is not "estimated;" it
is there; it has been made; it is as
concrete as a grindstone.
The other $700,000,000 saved by
this administration as compared with
the expenditures during the last year
of the Wilson administration is ac
counted for larpelv bv the abolition
of the United States Railroad Admin
istration, the United States Grain
Corcoration. the Supar RnnaliVarion
Board and other war activities which
the Republican Congress elected in
1918 made an end of as rapidly as
possible. i
This is a 100 per cent, plus, ful
fillment of the 1920 campaign

put "more business in government." ,

I We recommend that the following
fire prevention ordinances, copies of
which are attached to and form a part
of this report be enacted and enforced,
vis "An ordinance for the prevention
of lire and providing for Inspection."
"An ordinance for regulating elec
trical wiring and to provide for Inspeo
tion of same. (No doubt Heppner, lone
and Lexington could employ the same
Inspector.)"
"An ordinance to regulate construc
tion of flues and chimneys."
"An ordinance reaulrlns rlenninff nt
emmneya
"An ordinance to regulate equipment
and operation of motion picture thea
ters
"An ordinance to regulate conatrui-
tion and operation of public garages."
"An ordinance to regulate the stor
age and handling of explosives.
These regulations will make for the
safety of the city from Are and should
ne enacted without delav.
We recommend that the city Improve
the water system bv Increaainir th
size of the principal lateral mains in
tne distribution system, sufficiently to
furnish adequate lire nrotection an.i
pair it otherwise so It will be entirely
dependable to handle the high pres
sure.
We recommend that the iiydrants be
made to open all the same way. at pre
sent some open left and some right,
which is very confuslnir. We aln r
commend that the city do not permit
the hydrants to be used for any purpose
other than (ire protection
Coaclnsloa
In conclusion, we wish to make ac
knowledgement of th ASHiiitnncA an.1
cooperation of Fire Chief Curran, also
city attorney Mr. Nys. We sincerely
hope the people of Heppner will not
soon forget their recent disastrous ex
