—“THIS IS THE YEAR”—
THE DEMOCRATIC state platform might have been written in three
words —“Down with Goodrichism.”
HOW can the republicans, by "proper legislation,” remedy the ad
mitted defects in the “best tax law that could be devised under the con
stitution as it now stands?”
THERE is some consolation in not having democratic representatives
in the house. The democrats of Indiana do not have to apologize for the
treasonable vote on the Knox resolution.
The Truth That Hurts
As was to be expected, the republican press, led by the Indianapolis
Star, finds much fault with the terrific arraignment of the republican state
administration by Claude G. Bowers of Ft. Wayne in his keynote speech
and much to praise in the weak-kneed address of Vice President Mar
shall.
Therein lies the cue for the democrats of Indiana this campaign.
It is, as usual, the truth that hurts.
For the next few months democrats must expect that all which is said
or done that hurts the republican cause will be offensive to the republican
press and all that is said or done that discloses weakness of purpose or
difference of opinion among democrats will receive great laudation from
the same source.
The measure of the effectiveness of the democratic campaign efforts
may well be taken from the criticisms of the republican press.
Its purpose is the re-election of the republican candidates.
That which goes to defeat that purpose will be denounced as highly
improper.
That which helps will be designated as sane doctrine.
He who can provoke the largest number of “squawks” from the re
publican press of Indiana in this campaign is the most able of democratic
campaign speakers.
The Tax Law Issue
The republican state platform says:
“We commend the last general assembly for its action in revising the
tax law of Indiana. The virtues of this law commend themselves; the de
fects have been made apparent through its enforcement. We pledge our
selves to immediately correct these defects through proper legislation.”
The democratic state platform says: .
“We believe that ‘taxation without representation' is practiced by the
so-called Goodrich tax law, and assert that the democratic party believes
in local .self-government . . . We pledge the state legislature, If
democratic, to repeal this law, to restore to the taxing units local self-!
government, to enact 6uch a law as will bring about a fair valuation of all
property in Indiana, and under which all classes of property will pay their
proprotionate share of taxes.”
Here, then, Is the plainly defined issue that should govern the elec
tion of Indiana’s next legislature, almost to the exclusion of all others.
The republican party pledges itself to the preservation of the most
obnoxious tax law that has ever been on the statute books of this state.
The democratic party pledges itself to the repeal of this measure.
Asa concession to the vast number of republican taxpayers who have
suffered under the administration of this tax law, the republican platform
concedes that in the operation of the law there are defects which it
promises to correct through proper legislation.
The platform does not state what these defects are nor does it tell
how they are to be corrected. The subject is “safely" handled, in a manner
that compels the reader to seek elsewhere for an interpretation of the
meaning.
Fortunately the interpretation is not difficult to find. It is contained In
a pamphlet published and circulated by the republican state committee
which says:
"The legislature of 1917 having failed in its immediate purpose of mak
ing possible, by change in our constitution, a thorough revision of our sys
tem of taxation, the legislature of 1919 did the next best thing. It provided
the best tax taw that could be devised under the constitution as It now
stands."
Having previously declared that the Goodrich tax law is the "best tax
law that could be devised under our constitution,” the republican party
now admits it is defective and proposes to cure the defects without con
stitutional changes!
There is only one answer to the inconsistencies herein disclosed.
The republican party can not see a method of changing the present tax
law so as to remedy its defects, and it has no Intention of attempting such
changes.
Its suggestion of “proper legislation” for that purpose is the purest
kind of humbuggery.
Contrasting the meaningless phrases of the republican platform with
the concise pledges of the democratic platform ought to be sufficient to
disclose to the taxpayer in which party lies his hope of relief from unjust
taxation.
The democrats have pledged the repeal of the Goodrich tax lh.w and the
enactment of a law that will prevent taxation without representation, re
store taxing power to local tax units, bring about a fair valuation of prop
ery and compel all classes of property to pay their proportionate share
of taxes.
There can be no question of the constitutionality of the law the demo
crats propose to enact, for the constitution of Indiana says:
“The general assembly shall provide, by law, for a uniform and equal
rate of assessment and taxation; and shall prescribe such regulations as
shall secure a just valuation for taxation of all property.” . . .
In a word, the campaign situation in Indiana this fall Is this:
The republican party admits the defects of the tax law after having
declared it the best law possible under the constitution and it proposes by
“proper legislation” to remedy those defects, knowing full well that the
constitution must govern all “proper legislation."
The democratic party recognizes that the tax law is bad and proposes
to enact in its stead a tax law that will carry out the letter and the mean
ing of the constitution.
Party Loyalty yr Decency
There are fourteen different reasons why the republicans of Marion
county are not bound to accept the ticket that the bosses evolved from
the crooked primaries, but, as in the case of the man who had no money,
it is unnecessary to point out more than one.
The pluralities officially recorded in Marion county are crooked.
Investigation of the election returns shows that there was manipulation
of hundreds of votes in the interests of the machine slates.
Investigation of one precinct alone shows ninety fictitious voters, some
of whom were voted from vacant lots, others from Impossible addiesses,
and many of whom do not exist except in the minds of the election offi
cials who illegally entered their names on the poll sheets and illegally
cast votes for them.
But if this fraud were not sufficient tb release any self-respecting re
publican from the obligation to support his ticket, the fact that the ticket
stands for nothing except a continuation of the present misgovernment
would justify any bolt
t For example, we have presented to us for indorsement the same leg
islators who passed the tax law, the same treasurer who began his term of
omfceby collecting illegal fees from delinquents, the deputy prosecutor who
has for more than a year assisted in “seeing no criminal intent” in the law
violations of republican scalawag office holders.
Bossing the whole ticket is Mayor Jewett, the head of the city admin
istration that today has not carried out a single pre-election promise and
whose principal bid to fame was the infamous garbage plant swindle by
which $175,000 of the people’s money was paid to Jim Goodrich et al. for
a garbage plant that one of its owners swore was not worth the cost of
junking it.
Thus, the republican voter in Marion county ts confronted with the
necessity of swallowing as a whole Goodaichlsm and Jewett incompetency,
•r his ticket
-The question, then, is one of party loyalty or decency.
M’CORMICK’S ‘PAGAN PURPLE ’ A TRIUMPH
‘ Everywoman ’ Is a Beauty of the Shadow Art—Viola Dana at Ohio
A triumph of beauty.
That expresses in four words the
critical opinion of “Pagan Purple,”
an oriental fantasy created and -pre
sented by S. Barret McCormick at
the Circle.
Old china in days gone by is depicted
in a wealth of color and scenic grandeur;
dream boats filled with beautiful
maidens, warriors in battle attire, the
charm of a Chinese magician who makes
a wish and it is fulfilled, all aid in mak
ing “Pagan Purple” a triumph of melo
dious pageantry.
The charm of the picture grabs one as
the curtain rises on Evil Eye, played by
Harry Wilson, as he peers into a magic
flame.
Evil Eye sings, the spirits do his
slightest command and he is soon at
tirCd in raiment fit for a king.
THEN TO PALACE
OF DREAMLAND.
He waves his magic hand and is car
ried to a Chinese dreamland of days long
past.
A sail boat glides majestically on to
the stage, carrying Lotus Blossom, ail
idol of'Old China.
Norma Gregg, who composed the
musical score of the spectacle, appears
as tha beautiful Lotus Blossom.
She sings and her Prince Charming Is
brought to her under guard.
It is then that her lover, played by
Jackson Murray, sings “My Lotus Blos
som,” which is one of those haunting,
dainty melodies that makes one want to
pucker up his mouth and whistle it.
The writer predicts that every fellow
in Indianapolis will either be humming
or whistling "My Lotus Blossom,” this
melody triumph, before tho week is over.
To present "Pagan Purple,/" more than
thirty-five professional singers and
dancers are used.
Frank Zimmerer, art director, assisted
Mr. McCormick In presenting this dream
of old China.
In the writer’s belief, “Pagan Purple”
Is by far the most beautiful and Inspir
ing spectacle which Mr. McCormick has
ever presented at the Circle.
PRODUCTION IS
CREDIT TO CIRCLE.
McCormick has let his imagination run
to extremes of oriental beauty; b has
loosened his purse strings to the ex
tent of creating a gigantic production,
the cost of which must not be small.
Such entertainment as this creates n
new day In movie entertainment and
paves the way for even bigger triumphs ;
in this line of amusements.
McCormick’s fantasy pave* the way for
Anita Stewart in the movie, “The Yellow
Typhoon," a play of gripping melody.
At the Circle all week.

OHIO.
Viola is a little mischief maker.
Meaning Viola Dana in “Dangerous to
Men.”
Sha causes more mischief than a whole
troupe of boys woujd make.
First she masquerades as a little girl
to torment her guardian.
Next she pu.'s on a vamping makeup,
and starts to prove that she is danger
ous to man.
For Viola has a role In this photoplay
that gives her a chance to do a great
many things.
She changes so suddenly from one
phase of character that the audience is
sometimes two or three behind.
At the beginning of the story she Is a
college girl.
She receives a lettpr from a stranger,
informing her that her father Is dead and
that he has been appointed her guardian.
Liking school so much, and dreading
a guardian whom she has never seen, she
makes up as a girl of 13 or so.
But when she sees the man who is to
be her guardiau she falls In love with
him, for he is young and handsome.
Then she gets busy, and —well, the rest
of the play is too good to tell.
Opinion—Milton Sills and Viola Dana
have succeeded in making a real photo
play.
At the Ohio the first four days of this
week. ,

MR. SMITHS’S.
It is refreshing to see three old fav
orites together on the screen again.
Charlie Chaplin, Marie Dressier and
Mabel Normand, prime exponents of the
mirth and comedy movement, are to
gether in “TUlle’g Punctured Romance.”
Charlie, Marie and Mahal make a trio
of funsters that have not been seen In
the same picture since the days when
there were no fights and all was peace
and harmony on the screen.
“TlHie’s Punctured Romance" is nn
old picture, bnt It has a lot of punch.
It is Interesting to see Chaplin as a
villain, Marie Dressier as the innocent
country girl and Mabel as the sophisti
cated city girl.
These three comedy leaders should not
be missed.

LAST NIGHT’S DREAMS
—WHAT THEY MEAN—
V
Did yon dream of oranges?
Some of tho mystics content themselves
with saying that much satisfaction will
be the lot of one who sees or eats oranges
in a dream.
Others, more specific, say oranges seen
on a tree assure happiness and abun
dance. bnt that to dream of eating
oranges generally refers to Illness, prob
ably to newa from a sick friend who Is
convalescent.
To dream of buying oranges la a sign
that your business complications will re
sult In great gains.
Granges seen In any condition are, In
fact, omens of amusement and pleasure
soon to be enjoyed, unless you eat them
and find them sour. In which case you
may expect soon to have occasion for
chag-in.
One or two oracle* say that to dream
of seeing or eating unripe oranges Is an
omen of temporary disquietude—possi
bly of a slight Illness.
These same oracles look upon an orange
tree seen In a dream as a sign of wor
riment.—Copyright, 1920.

Indiana Boy’s Pal
Sentenced to Chair
NEW YORK. May 24—Guy Nichols
was sentenced In the Brooklyn supreme
court today to b© executed In Sing Sing
prison during the week of July 5.
Sentence was pronounced by Justice
Lazansky.
He was convicted of having partici
pated In the murder of Samuel Wolehok
In the latter’s stationery storo on March
11, 1910.
immediately afterwards, Joseph F.
Auth, 19, was placed on trial on a charge
of murder In the first degree In connec
tion with the same crime.
Jesse Walker of Evansville, Ind., Is
awaiting execution in the death house,
having been convicted of participation
in the crime several weeks ago.
Wolehok was shot while three men
were attempting to hold up the store.
Love—it’s the object of every
woman’s quest.
Some find what they think is love
in yachts, palaces, the race track, the
stage, the cabaret and fast living.
Woman does not have to seek the world
wide over for love, because real love is
generally whispering In her ear If she
does not listen to flattery, bluff, wealth,
passion, vanity and the others of the
Joy crew.
That is the philosophy of the late
Walter Browne as expressed in bis
morality play, "Everywoman,” which is
now in movie form.
While seeing the movie version flashed
on the screen flt English’s yesterday aft
ernoon the writer was impressed with
the contrast of the movie and stage
presentations of this widely known
work.
FILM EXCELS STAGE
IN SCENIC GRANDEUR.
And we have to admit.that the stage
is not all powerful in presenting a mo
rality play because the Paramount-Art
craft people have demonstrated that the
movie canqnake more out of a story than
the stage. v
The movie version shifts the scenery
bo often and sets such a pace that the
stage version can not keep pace with it.
A. clever and distinct handling of the
sub-titles makes possible for “Every
woman," Beauty, Youth, Modesty, Wealth,
Vice, Bluff, Nobody and the other
characters to “speak” very nearly as
they did on the stage.
The movie version simply outdoes the
stage on the famous banquet scene, where
Everywoman loses Beauty, as well ns
Modesty as her companions.
Cabaret dancers with very little on and
bathing girls jumping from a banquet
table Into a pool of water shows the
elaborate extremes to which the movies
can go to.
The stage banquet scene was a tame
affair.to the movie version.
SCREEN STORY
MORE COMPLETE.
Also the widely discussed New Year’s
eve scene is effectively liandled on the
screen and to the writer’s opinion the
movie version in several Instances drives
homo tho moral of tho play better than
the stage version.
Hvalng Been Adele Blood play Kvery
woman, the writer was anxious to see
what Violet Homing has done with the
title role.
Miss Homing Is able to represent con
vincingly the changing moods and pas
sions of Everywoman us sho is led
blindly on to the brink of ruin in her
search for love.
Theodore Roberts is splendid ns |
Wealth, and Bebe Daniels, ns Vice,
vamps all over the screen.
Tho Paramount people have wisely
made Nobody a shadow, and to our way
of thinking, the screen will often use
this method In handling spirit plays
which are now being produced in such
large numbers on the stage.
Whether you have seen the stage
version of “Everywoman” or not, you
will agree that the production now at
English’s dignities the movie business.
At English's all week.
