duced to a mere designation of lib-
erals as opposed to conservatives,
consider for a moment the situation
in France.
There, in the recent elections, the
people were faced with a lineup
that would baffle the most astute
political student. They were requir-
ed to choose, somehow, from Com-
munists, Dissident Communis. Rad-
ical Socialists, Independent Social-
ists, Dissident Socialists, and just
plain Socialists: Left Republicans,
Right Republicans, Popular Dem-
ocrats, and Conservatives.
Forturiately, pur system is not
yet as involved as that of France.
But the increasing numbei
of “isms” we have faced in the last
10 years is a warning.
We might in time become as
hopelessly tangled up in our voting
as the French. That would mean
to us just what it has meant to
France—ever-changing government.

ly, “Sister Annie” realizes that the
man with wham she’s in love, Jack
Forrest (Phillip Reed), a federal
agent who has been assigned to
locate the missing gambling-house
gal, is deeply in love with her!
“Sister Annie” wants to marry I
Jack, but just as she’s about to ac- j
cept his proposal, she realizes that:
it would be unfaii- and she takes
Bull’s offer. They're so much bet-
ter suited to each other—both of
them want a mate who’ll be a good
sparring partner, and: in this com-
bination, they’ll both! have what
they need.
"Klondike Annie” is splendid en-
tertainment—every member of the
cast is perfect in his role, and Mae
West has been given the opportu-
nity to display an additional, and
entirely new brand of humor,
which will keep the loyalty of all
her old fans, and add many new
ones.

BOUNTY ON RECKLESS
DRIVERS
(St. James, Minn., Watonwan Co.,
Plaindealer)
Here is the way they deal with
reckless and intoxicated drivers in
Portland, Ore.
There is a *100 bounty on reckless
drivers in Portland, where the law
considers speeding reckless.
Determined to put a check on
city drivers, the city, cooperating
with a civic accident prevention or-
ganization, enacted the bounty law
recently as one phase of a wide
ipread traffic control program.
The ordinance provides a $100 re-
ward for any citizen who gives in-
formation leading to the arrest and
conviction of a reckless driver, The
reward has been paid twice in the
ahort life of the new regulation,
adopted in April of this year.
As another safe guard, the city
has obtained an agreement from
major gasoline companies not to
jell gasoline to intoxicated persons.
The city talso conducts a school
Where reckless drivers are taugh
safe driving methods.
These unique regulations ought to
help In the safety first campaign.
Cities might well take the idea and
try it out In their own ordinances.
Reckless and drinking drivers are
a menace to life and property and
need strict regulations to insure
safety on the highway.

La West plays the role of a San

(Victor McLaglen). Bull falls for
her in a great big way, and urges
her to marry him,, but she stays on
in the Klondike, adopting, to throw
the police off her track, the name
and reputation of “Sister Annie,"
an evangelist who has died on the
