8 “THORESEN CHARGES | THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 11, 1930 GOVERNOR SHAFER | IS ADDING CHAINS Says Executive ‘Has Placed| People of North Dakota’ in Their Hands Charges that Governor George F. | Shafer has “placed the people of | North Dakota in the hands of Giga! tic chain institutions” were made T. H. Thoresen, state campaign man- | ager for the Nonpartisan League, in a radio address here Tuesday night. | Thoresen launched into an attack | on statements made by the governor | and other independent candidates, | and asked that the voters be not} “mislead by glib promises.” Pointing to chain institutions, | ‘Thoresen asked “what is the position | of our state government today under your present administration?” “I contend,” he continued, “that our present governor has placed the peo- ple of North Dakota into the hands of these gigantic chain institutions, and I challenge him to deny it. “What does the record show? Shortly after assuming his duties as governor, one of the major appoint- ments which he made was that of chairman of the state board of ad- ministration. Who did he appoint? The president of a Bancorporation bank. The position of this official is of the greatest importance to the People of this state. “Another important official is that of land commissioner, the one who regulates and controls the loans upon real estate out of the school fund. ‘This man is also a director of a Ban- corporation bank, the manager of the Bank of North Dakota was, before his appointment. a member of a chain bank. One of the first acts of the present governor and the commis- sioner of agricuit' and labor, was to remove Mr. Husby as dairy com- missioner, because it was said he was too friendly to the independent cream buyers and the cooperative creamer- ies. In his place was put an employe of the chain centralizers. What does this mean? Do you consider this good and proper policy for a state government to pursue? Shall we place ourselves in a position so that the chains and syndicates, both financial and business, control the people instead of the people regulat- ing and controlling these institutions? Has not your present governor, whether through ignorance or know- ingly, placed himself and us in a rath- er dangerous position? Let him ex- plain, Cites Mill Report “Much space has been given these last few days to the fact that the mill and elevator has paid $158,707 in premiums during the present gover- nor’s administration, They say that I misstated the facts when I said that institution had not paid premiums. If I have misstated the facts then so has the governor, because I was but re- stating what he himself said in his) annual report. I ask that you read his annual report. “We all know that Jow-protein wheat does not carry any premium in price. So then if the governor bought high protein wheat at low protein values where does the premium come in that it is now said was paid. « “Now Mr. Farmer, let me ask how much premium did you receive for) your grain last year? In my travels over the state I have not found any farmer who has said he received any. ‘Well if the farmers did not receive any and the governor now says that he paid premiums, may it not be pertinent for me to ask who received the $158,000 he now says he paid. We will let the governor again explain. The independents say that the mill ‘has not lost so much under the pres- ent administration. In the first place we contend that it never did lose any money. And why should the mill not make a better showing now after Governor Sorlie built such a wonder- ful foundation and gave it a momen- tum which has sent it on the road to success. Cites Nonpartisan Platform “We come to you with a platform full of help for the people of this state. In our platform, we contend f regulation and taxation of | Theatre, sublie utilities ation ot statement. public utilities in order that they may bear their fair burden the same as the she was secretary for ten years. She has been one of the most widely quoted penologists in the country during her many years in the field. “For all that time she believed firmly in prohibition and in the work of the W. C. T. U. and the Anti-Sa- loon league. She has changed her attitude now because she has come to agree with those who believe that Prohibition has failed. She has turned against prohibition because She still wants temperance. She sees evils under prohibition worse than {those of the days before the Eigh- ; teenth amendment was enacted. “She says: ‘I have decided that. Prohibition has not worked and nev- er can work. It would require a veritable army of men and billions of dollars to enforce it. Even then, I believe, it would not be successful without the co-operation of the vari- ous states, municipalities and the citizenry. Therefore I now believe that the cause of temperance can best be advanced by a change in the prohibition laws, and I am heartily in favor of the point of view pro- claimed by Dwight W. Morrow.’ “Mr. Morrow's plan, it will be re- called, is to return liquor control to the states by repeal of the Eighteenth amendment. This, Dr. Davis ceclares, is the most honest and sensible pro- gram yet put forward. Mrs. Banning is an uncompromis- ing believer in temperance, but has now joined the Women’s Organiza- tion for Prohibition Reform because of ‘the shocking social and civic con- ditions that have developed in the United States as a result of prohibi- tion.” “Prohibition, as Mrs. Banning sees it, is occupying altogether too prom- inent a place in the lives of the peo- ple. The attention paid to the liquor issue is out of all proportion to its importance. People are concentrat- ing on that to the neglect of more important matters. “Many persons have changed their opinions in regard to the effective- ness of the prohibition amendment in bringing temperance. Many decry the evils that have grown up under the present system. Many candidates are changing their views to conform to what they think are those of their constituents. “It is apparent that prohibition ‘cannot succeed without popular sup-" Port, and even Prohibition Commis- sioner Doran complains that such support is lacking and that public opinion in wet areas prevents the en- forcement of the dry laws. “Many people, including many women, are seeking some way out and apparently the most popular plan is to repeal the Eighteenth amend- ment and return liquor control to the states.” R. J. Stein, M. D. New Salem, N. D. ¢—_—_______4 | AT THE MOVIES | < PARAMOUNT THEATRE “She Couldn't Say No,” a musical screen drama that is a distinct nov- elty, opened an engagement at the Paramount Theatre today. It is a Warner Bros. and Vitaphone produc- tion featuring Winnie Lightner, one of the most entertaining of the talk- ing screen’s comediennes, and Ches- ter Morris, that bright young man who made an immediate hit with his first movie appearance in “Alibi.” Although the story of “She Couldn't Say No” is told in an atmosphere of night clubs, it is not just a song and dance picture. There is comedy and song but there is also a note of trag- edy and some highly dramatic scenes. The night club episodes are those showing Winnie Lightner in her role of Winnie Harper, first a hostess at a cheap club, and later the toast of the town in the exclusive Kitty Kat. Chester Morris is excellent in the role of the young racketeer who re- forms under the guidance and love of ‘Winnie and then breaks her heart by falling in love with a pretty society flapper. Sally Eilers, Tully Marshall and Johnny Arthur are the other principal members of the cast. They all give fine performances.

D., June 11.—(?)— Reduced intrastate rates from 17 cities will become effective soon, culminating the investigation begun in 1926 by the state railroad board, according to a telegram received to- day from Railroad Commissioner Fay Harding, who informed T.

By DEMING SEYMOUR ' (Associated Press Staff Writer) | New York.—(#)— American-made | movies are talking to the world in a dozen languages and dialects. The babel of tongues which de- scended upon the motion picture in- dustry with the coming of the talkies is being regimented. mn centers in New York od pictures are being turned o-t ‘ith dialog which can be understood in Stockholm, Tokyo or | Buenos Aires, | Maurice Chevalier and Claudette | Colbert made an English version of | “The Big Pond” at the Paramount | Studios at Astoria, L. I. Then, in front of the same sets and the same camera, they enacted the | play again in French, with their, American supporting cast replaced by | French players. Vilma Banky and Edward G. Rob- inson made an American picture, Lady, to Love,” at the Metro-Gold: wyn-Mayer studios in Hollywood. | Then they rested and rehearsed for | a@ week and did the story again in) German. | Thus the transition from silence to | speech is being accomplished by the | American motion picture industry | without the loss of foreign markets. | When it became apparent that | American dialog made a picture thor- | oughly unsuitable for foreign showing, | efforts were made to pick out the} most important parts of the dialog, | translate them into printed subtitles and show these subtitles on the lower quarter of the screen. This was unsatisfactory—the more! 0 because words are spoken on the ; screen six times as rapidly as they | can be read. Another system was to fit subtitles | into the picture in’ the foreign lan- guage, but leave the American lialog audible. A third plan, having foreign actors behind the scenes reproduce the dia- log in their own language, following as closely as possible the lip move- ments of the characters on the screen, was hooted by several German audi- ences. ‘Most producers have decided that the only way to make pictures for the foreign market is to use actors actually speak the language of the country where the film is to be shown. ‘Thus actors like Miss Banky, Chev- alier, Robinson, Dolores Del Rio, Lupe Velez, and others versed in two or more tongues loom as the most val- | uable screen stars. Paramount began making short pictures in foreign languages last é April. ae Some were made in Swedish, French, Czecho-Slovakian, and three Spanish dialects—Castillian (the, court language of Spain), Mexican | and Argentinian. Even Esperanto} was employed in one picture. Despite this activity foreign lan- guage productions are still utterly in- adequate to meet demands. | From the actor's standpoint, if he has @ reasonably good speaking ac- quaintance with three or four lan- guages, it is not difficult to make; versions of @ picture in each lan- guage, Robinson says. | German Baptists Will Build Parsonage Here A resolution protesting against re- peal of the North Dakota law which prohibits Sunday movies was adopted | by the central association of German Baptists which met recently at Streeter. | Rev. G. Eichler, Linton, was elected moderator at the meeting. Rev. S. Blumhagen, McIntosh, was named Secretary. Rev. August Heringer, Venturia, de- livered the opening message, and was followed by several prominent speak ers. ‘The convention decided to spend approximately $6,000 toward the erec- tion of a parsonage in Bismarck. The association has a membership of approximately 1,800. Refusal to Disclose Papers Is Attacked Washington, June 11.—(#)—Senate foreign relations committee today, considered a resolution taking excep-' tion to the administration's refusal | to deliver to it confidential documents ' on the negotiation of the London naval treaty. | While its text was not made public, it was known to assert as a principle that the senate, because of its con-/| stitutional powers in the ratification of treaties, is entitled to receive all! papers dealing with a pact under dis- cussion. i Senator Black, Democrat, Alabama, | was the author of the resolution. He, Chairman Borah, and Senator Moses, Republican, New Hampshire, were designated to redraft the measure.

CLUBWONEN PLEASED WITH INDIAN OPERA Sakakawea Club Presents ‘Mon- Dah-Min’ as Special Enter- tainment Feature (Tribune §; Service) Denver, Colo., June 11.—Clubwom- en from every corner of the United States gathered here for the biennial con/ntion, last night had their first opportunity to hear an Indian operet- ta presented by Indian girls. The en- tertainment was ‘“Mon-Dah-Min,” presented by the Sakakawea club from the U. 8. Indian school at Bis- marck, and it was enthusiastically re- ceived by several hundred women. Based on the old Indian legend that a maiden must guard the corn from harm during the planting season, “Mon-Dah-Min” tells in song and pantomime the story of the planting and harvesting of the Red Man's most important food. The leading part was taken by Miss Alice Slater, club president, and her sister, Miss Mary Slater, was featured in several interpretative dances. Directing the operetta was Mrs. Hermann Scheffer, assisted by Mrs. Bruce Doyle, dramatic instructor. The Indian girls, who have made an excellent impression during the convention, are appearing at several Denver theatres this week. Wearied from five strenuous days of attending the sessions of the Gen- eral Federation of Women’s clubs, the delegates are today seeking rest at nearby mountutn retreats. Outdoor sports as well as many sightseeing trips are planned. TARIFF BILL VOTE IS SET FOR FRIDAY Senate Reaches Agreement to Take Final Action on Long- Washington, June 11.—(#)—The tariff bill will be put to its ultimate test in the senate, the long awaited final vote, at two o'clock on Friday. If it is approved, and there are many who predict a margin of one or two votes will settle the question, it will be brought up in the house on Saturday and a final roll call taken there. ‘Thus, the measure, unless defeated in the senate, is expected to reach President Hoover some time on Mon- After considerable argument, a un- animous consent agreement was reached in the senate yesterday fix- ing the Friday voting hour. An earl- jer time was opposed by half dozen members who said they had engage- ments which would prevent their at- tendance today or tomorrow. A preliminary test will come just before the roll call in a vote on a motion by Senator Blaine, Republican, Wisconsin, to send the bill again to conference. In making this motion, he contended, the conferees had dis- regarded all scientific bases in arriv- ing at the duty on cheese. Republican leaders maintained their confidence today that the bill will be passed. Meanwhile, Senator Reed, Republican, Pennsylvania, prepared to deliver an address setting forth his views on the measure and announcing whether he will vote for or against it. The attitude of Senator Grundy, also of Pennsylvania, is unknown, and he intimated he may vote against the bill, Many who have been counting prospective ballots predict that should one or both of the Pennsylvanians cast a negative vote the bill will be defeated. Republican attacks upon Democrat- ie senators for voting to increase cer- tain rates and then opposing the bill on fina] passage were continued to- day with a statement issued by Sena- tor Hebert of Rhode Island through the Republican national committee. Chairman Brossard of the tariff commission denied last night allega- tions that a recent commission report on the pending measure had been prepared for pelitical purposes. This statement said 68 per cent of the in- creaserg. protection afforded by the bill went to agri¢ilture. His denial was contained in a letter to Rep- resentative Knutson, Republican, Minnesota.
