There were between eighteen and twenty million holders of of Liberty bonds, and it is a very moderate estimate to conclude that there are at least that number of holders of the stock of industrial, railway and other public utility corporations. So when you feel inclined to nail the hide of a corporation on the wall, you are skinning thousands of small investors. When you lay a heavy burden of taxation on corporations you are making it essary for them to increase their revenues and that comes out of their customers. When you cut their rates too severely you are lessening their ability to extend and improve their service and take care of depreciation, or you compel them to give less than a fair return on the money of the thousands of stockholders who have put their savings into the company, and incidentally injure the credit necessary to secure more money to make improvements. The holding of securities like those above constitutes the only form of efficient public ownership of the utilities, because it leaves in them the professional ability, enterprise, and energy of the private management, alive to the sense of individual responsi- -' bilrty. It keeps them free from the evils and the inefficiencies of partizan political workings with their constant changes during the shifting administrations.

On moving picture admissions the taxes amounted to On theater and circus admissions the taxes amounted to $1,850,075:' That is to say, the receipts at moving picture shows were almost forty times as much as at theaters and circuses. Considering the difference in prices of admission, it becomes evident that more than a hundred people went to the movies for one who went to a theater or the circus. It is to be observed, however, that the goverifment receipts from picture shows fell off 20 per cent from those of 1921, while theater and circus receipts increased about 9 per cent. In this fact lies a very definite warning to picture producers. The public is not so easy to satisfy as it was.
