As a member of the Senate com- mittes on postoffice affairs he had €o take up this question of the in- creased expense incurred by the ac- ' tlon of the postmaster general, and those papers and people who have ! been criticizing him are invited toi solve the following problem ‘with which he was, confronted as a pub- | Hc servant and member of the Sen- | Ate committee on postoffices.

It is said that one of the motion picture companies is show- ing such a film representing scenes in Florida in such a way that the beholder could only gather a most unfavorable impression of the State. When we consider the practically immeasurable publicity influence of the motion picture invention and its capacity for corresponding harm or good it is very clear that that in- vention should be under strict legal regulation and there should be ef- fective prohibition of its power to | gpread wholesale slander of a State and its people as in this Florida in- stance. Acting on a suggestion from a Tampa Tribune editorial Sen- | ator Bryan has introduced a bill to prohibit the importation and inter- state transportation of these slan- derous films, with an extreme pen- alty of $1,000 fine or imprisonment for a year, or both, for violation of the law. The good reason for such a law is so obvious that Senator provides is that the postmaster gen- ' Bryan's bill ought to pass and, if it county while he is subject to & charge of $3 in other counties. He may secure a license to hunt in an- other county from the judge in his own county also by special pro- vision. A resident is not determined by the question of whether he owns property. Many attempts will un- doubtedly be made to secure the tourist’s immunity on the ground that he owns property. old gag that has worked for some time and' aided teurists to dodge a hunting license that they were sup- posed 40 pay.
