Income No Gauge of Man's Worth While all the shouting about clean movies is going- on, it is interesting to take a peek at the facts about "moving picture salaries, as revealed recently by an elaborate NRA report. This shows that, although the industry as a whole suffered a loss of more than $19,000,000 last year, it paid to no fewer than 110 persons salaries larger than the salary received by the president of tire United States which is $75,000 a year. One actor drew down $315,000 for his year's work the peak of the lot. Another whether an actor or an actress ac-tress is not stated got $296,250 for the year. Considering one thing along with another, and comparing com-paring the social usefulness and intellectual ability of a movie actor with a president of the United States, all of this seems more than passing odd. But Sol Rosenblatt, the NRA division administrator who made the survey, points out that it all happens according to economic law. l v i "No salary," he says, "is excessive if the picture produced pro-duced by the individual receiving the salary meets with unusual public favor as a result of unique direction or artistry 'T So there is no sense in getting indignant about this situation. A movie actor, or a prize fighter, or blues singer, sing-er, may get paid more than the president of the nation but the fault lies with the economic system, and not with the industry involved. f , For there is, and there can 'be. only one way of gauging gaug-ing a man's worth, as far as his pay check is concerned. It depends solely on how much he is worth to the stockholders stock-holders in hard cash. This loads to some peculiar situations, very often. It gives to a Madame Curie only the most modest of rewards, and makes a Sir" Basil Zaharoff oneoT the world's richest men. It makes a millionaire out of a Jack Dempsey and leaves a Jane Addams the income of a good clerk. It enriches en-riches a Charley Mitchell and leaves a Senator Norris with nothing but a competence. " - But the fault is the fault of the whole, and not of the parts- It is silly to criticize the munitions industry, or the prize fighting racket, or theXbanking business, for these things. Thats the kind of world we live in; what a man gets has no relation whatever to his usefulness to his fellow fel-low men. Olive I.

Even a 10 per cent freight increase, in-crease, .they say, will not meet the added ante. It will net only $300,000,000 additional revenue. ICC officials are saying nothing publicly about this reasoning. But privately they make sounds suspiciously sus-piciously like "baloney." They do not deny that the carriers car-riers must meet considerably increased in-creased expenditures. But they disagree regarding the way to meet the burden. What the railroads need, they think, is not to increase rates, but reduce them. This, it is held, will ensure added income. And they cite proof in the railroad rail-road industry to sustain this con- ! tention. Last year a number of western and southern lines cut their passenger pas-senger rates. The results were amazing. One western road increased its passenger traffic 58 per cent, its revenue 16 per cent. A southern company did even better. All the carriers showed marked increases in business.

"Mrs. Planter wants to talk to you," her relief was so great she giggled hysterically. "What in the name of time does she want?" Bill said, scratching his bead. "Can't say."
