Louis, Q. Logan Payne Cos. Advertising offices J y ew \ ur g. Boston. Payne. Burns A Smith, Inc, THOSE new swimming pools, It Is said, will be finished by fall. Then we can get out the old skates and enjoy 'em. NO ONE will disagree with Governor McCray’s definition of what a public service commission ought to bet OH, WELL! lime was, not so long ago, when It was the street car company that sought conferences with the city officials and none of them were at home! IN OTHER WORDS, Senator New Is too Intent on renomination to undertake to oppose Samuel Lewis Shank, even at the earnest request of the News-Jewett machine! The Budget Tax System The theory of the provisions of our present tax law as brought forth by W. V. Rooker in the Circuit Court Saturday is deserving of the close attention of those members of the legal fraternity who are presumed to guide public officials in the discharge of their duties. If Mr. Rookeris contention In this suit is correct, then it appears that all over the State of Indiana public officials are pursuing a course relative to public money that is not strictly legal. No contention is raised that there is an ulterior purpose behind the adherence to the methods of the past, but it is self-evident that if these methods have been discarded through the provisions of the new tax law then there is an obligation on the part of public officials to discard them. It is Mr. Rookeris theory that all money raised by taxation becomes a part of one or the other of the trust funds created by the levies for specific purposes and cannot be diverted to any other purpose than specified in the budget There can be little doubt that this was the intent of the Legislature In establishing the budget form. The question is whether the intent was carried to a point where it overrides the somewhat lax method of pouring tn-r money into a treasury from which it may be appropriated at will. There is a very strong demand on the part of taxpayers in general that no public money be expended before they have the right to be heard as to the expenditure. Mr. Rookeris contention is that the new tax law satisfies that demand and that no expenditures can be made, legally, until the taxpayers have had the right of hearing and appeal to the State tax board. The maintenance of this contention by the courts would undoubtedly create considerable confusion in a State wh ?re officials have long had the power to expend the taxpayers’ money at will and the taxpayers have had only the unsatisfactory right to complain about it after the money was spent But such confusion as would be created would not weigh very heavily against the advantage to the taxpayer of laving an opportunity to control money which he is compelled to give up tc the State. In its last analysis the question is whether or not the new tax law was intended to give the taxpayer a method of checking the expenditure of public money through the budget system. If the newly Improvised budget system is such as Mr. Rooker contends, then, indeed, the taxpayer has a voice in the government which must be heeded and which is now being ignored through the improper interpretation of the law by the officials of the f.everal taxing units. If Mr. Rooker Is wrong in his interpretation, then we have no budget system worthy of the name and public officials are free to conduct their raids on the treasury in the same manner that ha3 brought about so much complaint in the past

The Car Company's One Purpose The recent awakening of State officials and a large part of the publ’C to the fact that the local street car company must be relieved of some of its extraneous burdens in order to be in a position to function properly as a transportation utility is a vivid promise of better street car service in the near future. In addition to being expected to maintain street car service under all conditions, the street car company has been looked upon as compelled under its franchise: 1. To assume the greater part of the cost of paving streets. 2. To pay the cost of maintaining the greater part of the streets over which it operates. 3. To provide the park board annually with enough money to. build one of the swimming pools which have not been built. 4. To build extensions where traffic does not Justify them, but political expediency makes them desirable to a city administration. 5. To have enough cars in the heart of the city to haul every one home from work at precisely the same moment and keep enough cars at the ends of the lines to haul every one to work the Instant they desire to go. 6. To arrange routes so that every patron may board a car in front of his home and get ofT of it In front of his place of business. 7. To contribute to the campaign fund of every candidate who aspires to office. 8. To compete with every other known method of transportation that can possibly be encouraged to dip into Its reasonable revenue. The street car company has not been able to do all these things on a fare schedule that has not been Increased in nearly the proportion that the cost of everything else has increased. At last there are citizens in this community who have awakened to the fact that the company is being called upon to do the impossible. These citizens are firmly of the opinion that the cost of a street car ride in Indianapolis should not be more than 5 cents. Consequently, instead of trying to see how many things other than provide car service they compel the street car company to do, they are insisting that the company confine its resources to doing the one thing that it was intended to do. That one thing consists wholly of supplying Indimapolis with proper street car service. Proper street car service Is what every one in Indianapolis except the city administration and the political plunderers desire. It is what the people of Indianapolis want and will eventually get In order to supply it at a rate of fare of 5 cents the street car company must be relieved of all other obligations than the one paramount obligation of supplying service. The Legislature has made this possible and the public service commission is ready to carry out the intent of the Legislature. Proper service will come when the ballyhooing of those who prefer political power to street car service Is silenced. The Law's Delays The settlement, out of court, of the oldest law suit on the docket of the United States Equity Court in Boston, calls forth memories of sweet music of other days, before Jazz was heard. It was a suit for royalties on the old song "In the Sweet Bye and Bye,” and the son of the author was paid $56,000 by a publisher. A contract to pay 3 cents a copy to the author was made in 1865. The Chicago fire of 1871 interrupted and complications arose until it was indeed in the sweet bye and bye that the reward arrived. The song was sung by the parents of the present generation and as It touched a popular chord, it continued with lovers of music much longer than the usual run of such songs. It is one of the bits of Irony in life that the author did not realize what is even now the fortune derived from delay reminds one that for over a hundred years claims against had no general way of adjustment and were often older in this Bjl&Lhe present memory of mar. a court of claims has been estabSSffifetuMfhington where one may sue the Government. The court is a judgment by it does not bind the Government to pay, the legal rights and proof of facts, then Congress can it desires. There have been many spe* ial com mis.- ions pwft ine special liabilities from time to time, t'f should be speedy. The constitutions so hold, and The death of witness! the loss of evidence, and all give weight to tie of Shakespeare Some times, too. It is the the court.

BARRIE’S WHIMSICAL CHARM CAUGHT BY MOVIE MAN ‘Deception? and *The Travelinj Salesman’ Begin Second Week—ThriVs at Circle

Meet the Painted Lady and her daughter, Grizel. I am sure that you will not shun her ns the small busy-bodies of the Scotch village of Thrum* did. Whether you hare lead Barrie’s “Tommy and Grizel” or not, I am. sure that yon will fall a victim ’o Barrie’s whimsical and even pathetic charm on visiting the Ohio this week where “Sentimental Tommy” Is on view. In “Sentimental Tommy."one meets the characters with whom wo all rub elbows each day In the real world. I am sure that John S. Robertson, who directed this movie, must love and understand the pathetic and romantic charm of the author. The characters are not the mush and milk kind so often seen on the screen. They have red blood In them. They are not good nor are they bad. They are human—a humanness which mixes the good and the bad. The characters In this Barrie fantasy are known to all of us. There Is the Painted Lady, who loved and In giving her great love brought Grizel into the world. Little Grizel never knew who her father was. Her mother, the Painted Lady, dreamed of his return and during the long wait her mind gave way as the public indictment ot the village became stronger. The Panlted Lady wore her prettiest frock when people passed by her door. They always passed by because the busy-bodies of the village would have nothing to do with tbo Painted Lady and her daughter, Grizel. When the little Tainted Lady gave up the search on this earth for the man who betrayed her, she parsed on to the other world to continue her ceaseless search. Little Grizel is left alone. The boys of the village taunt her until one day Tommy Sandys, a newcomer to town, knocks down the bully of the village. Griael asks the good Dr. McQueen to cut out her ‘bad blood” which the neighbors whisper she possesses Grizel is taken into the home of Dr. McQueen and there Grizel grows Into beautiful womanhood while Tommy, tne dreamer, builds his aircastles and worships at the shrine of beautiful women in the land of his make-believe. Tommy plays the role of a romantic lover to Grizel, but It Is only actin’. Tommy cannot leave the land of his dreams. The discovery of this causes sweet lit le Grizel to walk for two years In the land of the shadows. Tommy, who has become a great writer, gives up his career and for two years attempts to lead Grizel out of the land of the mental shadows. Love triumphs and Grizel, the daughter of the Painted Lady, finds contentment In the arms of the real Tommy, not the sentimental Tommy. What a sweet romance Barrie has written Into his story. Although I have crudely told the story In my own words, yet I hope I have reflected enough of the charm of Barrie to mak> all who read this want to see this movie. And the acting Is so satisfying The acting lias powerful as the theme of the story. Tho cast Is as follows: Tommy Sandys, an author. Gareth Hughes Grizel. his sweetheart May McAvoy The Painted Lady, her mother Dr. McQueen George Fawcett Corp Shlach Harry L Coleman Elspeht Sandys... Latla Frost Dr. David Gemmell Kempton Greene Lady Alice Pipplnworth.. . .Virginia Valll Gavinia Kate Davenport The Little Minister Alfred KHppeler Domlnoe Cathro .Malcolm Bradley Mabel Taliaferro as The Painted Lady has registered effectively the suffering of this pathetic character. So fine Is the work of Miss Taliaferro that I am sure It will linger long In the memory of those who see this picture. You have heard a great deal about the promising worth of May McAvoy. It is my humble opinion that this new screen actresz will become as famous and as well loved as Mary Pickford. Her work at times in this movie Is so realistic that it actually terrifies the observer. I have expressed my opinion of Gareth Hughes under his picture. Opinion—ls you want to see the most satisfying screen entertainment from a standpoint of character work, then go to the Ohio this week and see Barrie’s “Sentimental Tommy.” This is the finest romantic achievement that tha screen has ever offered. —W. D. H. ZANE GREY’S LATEST OX VIEW AT THE CIRCLE. This veek is being observed ns National Zane Grey week and the Circle theater is observing It by presenting the writer’s latest sto.-y, “The Man of the Forest.” Zone Grey’s stories have successful.? been filmed for several years and “The Man of the Ft rest” stacks up pretty well with the other stories of tho writer. Frobably Zana Grey appeals mostly to the men because of the masculine qualities reflected in the male characters. There Is generally a powerful natural background In all of Grey’s stories and the latest yarn of the writer is placed on a big western ranch. Grey Is the champion creater of the master villain and the writer has given u a 100 per cent dirty villain In this movie. H!s name Is Harvey Riggs who plots to secure possession of the rich, ranch of Lera Auchinloss. The villain stoops to anything to accomplish bt purpose and even the heroine la kidnaped In an attempt of the villain to secure the ranch. The hero is Milt Dale, a chap who lives In the mountains and who has mountain lions and bears as hL companions. A mountain lion aids Milt in rescuing the heroine from a mountain cabin. This lion does perfect fighting and the fans yesterday at the Circle applauded the “acting” of the animal. A trained bear does some comedy acting which gives some mirthful punch to the picture. “The Man of the Forest” is pure melodrama, daring “mellerdrammer’’ at that. The cast Is adequate, although there is no chance for Individual characterizations. The work of the lion and the bear In this movie will be discussed by those who see this picture. The way the picture was received at tho Circle yesterday shows that movie fans enjoy melodrama. A pleasing musical score played by the orchestra aids in putting over the big scenes. Those who enjoy the stories of Zane Grey will find all the elements In “The Man of the Forest” for which Gray Is nortd. The bill at the Circle this week Includes a Booth Tarklngton Edgar comedy, called “Get-Rick-Quick Edgar.” At the Circle all week.—W. D. XL

HERE IS BARRIE’S SENTIMENTAL HERO

GARETH HUGHES. In “Sentimental Tommy.” a movie m ado from Barrie’s “Tommy and Grizel." Gareth Hughes has made himself as famous as Vera Gordon did in “Humoresque.” At times Mr. Hughes reminds one of Gregory Kelly.

The feature picture Is "The Good Bad Wife," a Vera McCord produ.-tioiz, and other films Include “Melod" of Flowers,” a PrUraa color picture, the Fox news weekly, the Literary Digest and the Miami Six, a pleasing musical organization. The story of “The Good Bad Wife,” ■ concerns a French dancer who Is well ; thought of by the night rounders of that gay city. She fells in love with an American and follows him to this counI try. She can not enter until she Is married and so the Yankee marriea her and takes her to his home In a quiet ; Southern town.

Os Interest are the dance scenes at a charity affair. The Miami Six, a musical organization, have been at the Alhambra for some time and their musical programs are pleasing patrons of this house. Movie fans of this city appear to like the various news films which are shown ! each week at the Alhambra and other j movie houses. -i- -iCONCERNING BISTER KEATON, A few days ago tho wedding of Buster Keaton, a film comic, and Natalie Talmadge, the third of the Talmadge girls, was announced. Lately Buster has been giving us a better line of comedies. The Colonial this week is showing Keaton's latest comedy, called “Hard Luck." At times Keaton stages a walk which reminds one of Charlie Chaplin. In this movie, Keaton has a funny fishing scene but It does not equal the fishing stunt staged by ISc-n Turpin In “The Small Town Idol.” Keaton takes some hard falls In this movie. Keaton is developing along Individual lines and yet he seems at times to have absorbed some of the business of the leading film comedians. He has a clever ending to this comedy. Dressed In a

BURDSAL’S Paint may cost you a little more per gallon than other paint—because it costs more to make—it is better paint. But the actual cost of BURDSAL’S Paint can not be judged by the price per gallon. It really cost3 you less than paint that sells at a lower price per gallon—both in first and last cost. Less of it is required to cover a given surface. It flows more evenly, cutting down the time required to apply it. And it outlasts two or three paintings with cheaply made paint—saving both on materials and labor for repainting. It is real economy to use BURDSAL’S Paint. Sold by all good dealers.

According to a periodical advocating the taxation of land values, the wealth of tho country is about half In land and half In Industry, but the Industrial values are taxed nearly twice as much as the land values.

KEEPING HOUSE WITH THE HOOPERS

iTbe Hoopers, an averags American family of five, living la a suburban town, on a limited Income, will tell the reader* of the Daily Times bow the nany present-day problems of tns borne are solved by workiag on tne budget that Mrs. Hooper has evolved and found practical. Follow them daily 'n an interesting review of their home life and learn to meet the condition* of the high cost of living with them.) MONDAY. When Mrs. Hooper arrived at the dancing class on Saturday, she was greeted most cordially by the young teacher, vfho exclaimed: “Oh, I’m so glad you’ve come, Mrs. Hooper. I’ve been hoping that some of the mothers would, though I hated to suggest It.” She had led tho way Into a large, bare room with a piano at one end of it as she was speaking. Lined up against the wall were fifteen or twenty straightbacked chairs upon which those of tho class who had already assembled were sitting primly. “You see, Mrs. Hooper.” she continued seating her visitor comfortably near the piano, “I am considered an excellent dancing teacher, but I’m really no disciplinarian, and I certainly have a dreadful time with some of these children. Ferhaps, Helen has’” “No, that isn’t the reason I am hero,” interrupted Mrs. Hooper. “Helen hasn’t said anything. I’ve been Intending to come for a long time, but my Saturday afternoons bavo been given up to Mr. Hooper. However, I shall make other p’nns In the future and coma with her. What seems to be the trouble?" “If I could keep them dancing every rnlnnte," laughed the young teacher, “things would be lovely, but tho minute they sit down or break up into groups, they quarrel and tease eagh other and gossip until I am beside myself to keep them in order. There is a little fracas starting now If you'll watch that youngster on the end chair.” A boy cf about ten—who probably hates’, to tie there anyhow—had reached over and pulled the sash bow of the little girl sitting next to him. so that the long streamers draggeil on the floor. She bounced out of her chair, screaming at the top of her voice, and stamping her little slippered foot In a perfect fury; thou she began pummelling him with her small fists, while the boy squirmed and giggled and kept his face out of her way. “Children! Children!” expostulated the dancing teacher, rushing over to the bellgerenta. “Aren’t yon ashamed of yourselves, before a visitor.” They evidently were not, because It took considerable effort i.o placate tbe little girl, wbo sobbed f id sputtered, and ss the small boy swaggered off he tweaked the curls of the other little girl* who had gathered In a group about their outraged companion. He gave Helen’s hair a particularly vicious pull as he passed her and Mrs. Hooper saw the child's fists double np and an angry look such as her mother had never before seen flash Into her face. She thought better of any display of temper, however, and walked away with the arms ot two of her little friends clasped about her shoulders. When the excitement had died down a bit, the children took their places In a long row and tbe lesson began. It wa: evident that the class was conscious of t.ie presence of a vis Hand that they w<*ro bent upon showing off as soon as they got down to wor-. There was no doubt that they were being taught to dance well. Proper te< 1 nlque could be seen In every movemen. of the swaying, graceful, little bod’ *.

fiane* of the teacher’* authority. Intelligence beamed from every little face as they gave attention to her Interaction na to the dancing steps, but a suggestion on her part that they behave or be quiet and courteous to each other was Ignored. So far as Mrs. Hooper could see, her presence, except perhaps In the case of her own small daughter, had very little effect on the rioting youngsters. “As long as Helen continue* her lessons," she said to the teacher when she wag preparing to leave, “I shall come with her, and some of the other mothers will come with me, I know. It will make tt very much easier for you I think If a number of us are present every Saturday.” “Oh, I know It will,” answered the young woman gratefully. As Helen went to the dressing room for her coat, Mrs. Hooper said caaually to the teacher: “I wonder If you can tell me If Mrs. Jackson and Edna are at home?” “At the Mayfield place? Oh, no, Mrs. Jackson closed her bouse in town last month and sailed for Europe and Edna Is at boarding school,” replied the young woman. “You are sure of that?” qmstioned Mrs. Hooper. “Oh, quite certain,” was the reply. “I give a dancing lesson at the boarding school every week and I know that Edna did not go to Europe with her mother. I see her every Tuesday.” “Thank you,” said M/s. Hooper quietly as her little daughter Joined her with several other children who lived in their vicinity. They all walked home together, and the conversation and conduct of the small girls, free from the scrambling and pushing boys, became suddenly as old-fash-ioned and sophisticated as that of their Take a Look at Your Own Panama Canal It cuts In half the highway of the seas.
