tax system stating that the present
advalorem tax was a burden up
property owners, and the legislature
should adopt a sales tax, which had
been tried successfully in other
states. This should be done after
program of fairness and economy
had been adjusted.
He favored a fuH and complete
control of the state of the school'
system relieving the counties of the
burden of the suport of the schools.
He wished that the National
house and senate under the guidance
of President Roosevelt would enact
an old age pension.
He said that the courts had been
criticised for failure to enforce the
laws, which he thought was unjust
and called attention to the number
of prisoners that were serving terms
in the penitentiary, and died in the
electric chair.
He stated that If the lawlessness

The federal government is now ac

and should receive the cooperation
of e/ery man and woman in the
country.

FIRST PUBLISHED STORY
OF HIS CAREER CHANGES
COMEDIAN'S SCREEN STYLE
An entirclv new field of produc
tion possibilities ha.s been opened
up to Harold Lloyd with the assured
success of his first venture in film
ing an original story, “The Cat’:
Paw." a novel by Clarence Buding-
ton Kelland.
“The Cat’s Paw" comes to the
screen of the Colonial Theatre,
Monday and Tuesday. January 21-
22nd.
Not in his many years of comedy
making, except for a scries of four
stories purchased from Tom Dor-
can (Tad), famous cartoonist i
lv eighteen years ago, has Lloyd
over made a picture from a pub
lished story- There were several rea
sons why he never operated from
stories other than those created by
himself and staff. He felt that in
producing from stage plays or popu
lar published stories, he would be
robbed of the surprise elem-
which he used to feel so important
to his peculiar style of comedy.
Lloyd's ideas in this regard have
taken a turn to the left, occasioned
hv his rte^ire to do something
tirely different from anything he
has before attempted in his long
screen career. He figured to make
a radinl. rhanve in stvle, and in
"The Cat's Paw” he has done jus*
that. He depends more on story,
ituation. eharnejeriration, and dia-
offtie. rather than on the fast-run
ning gag sequences so familiar t r
4 ntctnrw. The ohanee. how-
has not resulted in a diminish-
