OFPFICIAL COUNTY AND OITY PROCERDINGS ST TR, WE REAP WHAT WE SOW. A man. of twenty years’ residence in Mexico in- forms us that that country has become the dumping ground for America’s obscene, noncensorable films owing to the fact that there is practically no film censorship there. It is the only large country where there is not some appreciable extent of film censorship. : The result of this has been the shipment to Mexico of any films that could not “get past” a censor board in this country because of criminal portrayals or obscenity. When it is considered how much does “get past” in America, it is hard to imagine just how bad these Mexican pictures must be. The closeness of Mexico and the facility with which the films may be transported have encouraged the production of many of these pictures for purely Mexican con- sumption. We stand aghast at the terrible outbursts of murder, rapine and plunder perpetrated by the Mexicans and In that “holier than thou” attitude we ‘assume, seem to entirely forget to just what extent we Americans are responsible for much of this unspeakable condition in Mexico. ) It is not unreasonable to believe that revolution, lawlessness, crime and disorder—all of which there is plenty in Mexico—are encouraged indirectly if not directly by such pernicious moving picture’in- fluences. The thinking people of America should take a definite stand against this traffic in polluted films and the government should refuse to permit their export.

Through an unintentional error in newspaper publicity, which was more or less general over the United States, the public has been given the im- pression that incomes from stocks are.not subject to the income tax. This, it appears, is an error. If you own a certain amount of stock in a cor- poration and you receive an annual income of 8 or 10 per cent, or any other amount, from that \ stock, the income' is subject to taxation proevided it is paid to you in currency or by check. But if that dividend is paid to you in the form of additional stock in the corporation, then such income in the form of aaditional stock is not subject to income taxation. . The public will feel a relief in knowing that the holders of great wealth in the form of stocks are not to escape their just proportion of taxation. This paper is glad to aid in making correction of an error into which millions of people appear to have innocently fallen.—Exchange. [ s ONE OF THE GOOD THINGS. Bemidji is to be congratulated upon having had the opportunity of hearing such a lecture as was delivered last night by Miss Maria Sanford. The Women’s Civic and Community club performed a valuable service to the city in bringing Miss San- ford here and it is a source of satisfactior.’hat .80 many Bemidji citizens are interested in -the better things that go to make up ideal citizenship. Miss Sanford outlined for the lgdies (and men) of Bemidji, a program of civics that if followed will make the political “fixer” ashamed of his job —and it should be so. That a community, state or nation, should be at the mercy of unscrupulous demagogues when choosing their administrators, is unthinkable, and Miss Sanford’s advice to women voters to pick the best man has much food for. thought. —_ NOTHING SAID SO FAR. A week ago it was announced in these columns that The Pioneer would welcome correspondence to be published under the heading “What Others Say.” We cannot believe other people have noth- ing tc jay nor can we believe there are no subjects of interest on which they can express themselves. However, no one so far has broken the ice. If the editor does not receive some expressions- from others he will be forced to the position of writing to himself. He might be able to get up an argument with himself, but 'prefers to. get the other fellow’s viewpoint. Let us hear from you. : —_ Mayor Smith of Louisville, Ky., states that there has been an 80 per cent decrease in police court cases involving drunkenness during 1919, as com- pared with 1918.—World Digest. berg further recommends that all oats, wheat and barley be carefully screened to remove the large amount of small and light seed. Even with this precaution, however, he believes it will be necessary to plant more than the usual amount of seed to: the acre in order to insure a full stand. In many instances it may be advisable to use seed of the 1918 crop.—Farm Press News. W Rl NOONAN’S NOO NOONETTES.
