All pictures will eventually be available for sound and nearly all the theatres having sufficient seating capacity to afford it. will be equipped with some kind of sound device.

Ira Arch or Council Bluffs, in his talk also urged that action be taken along this line. The reporters following the speech es went on record in favor of it. It is claimed that such a law raises the standard of reporters. It is also claimed that it would do away with the attempt of politicians to influence a judge to appoint some one to the position who was not qualified. Each reporter would be required to take an examination by a state board before being certified. The judges, it was pointed out, would not be pro hibited from appointing anyone they wished to appoint providing the re porter had been duly certified.
