tion of Senator Hiram Johnston's
charges against David II. Blair of

by President Harding to be internal

closed doors.
The witnesses were Senator John
son. Mr. Klair. John Morchcad, re
publican "boss" of North Carolina,
and oflieials of the income tax sec
tion of the internal revenue bureau.
Senator Johnson declared that
Blair, a delegate to the republican
national convention at Chicago last
June, ignored the North Carolina
primary law. He also told the com
mittee that the amount of mail he
was receiving from North Carolina
since he made charges against Blair
indicated that the efforts of Mr.
Blair's family to escape payment of
income taxes were "'a state-wide
scandal."
Mr. Blair denied the charges that
he broke the North Carolina pri
mary law. He insisted that he never
heard the results of the primary elec
tion in North Carolina while he was
attending the Chicago convention.
He admitted, however, that the
North Carolina delegation went to

Economy in Federal

May 8. Economy in federal impro

ing to the recent letter of Secretary
of the Treasury Mellon to the lum-e
ways and means committee and the
adoption of a national budget, were
urged in a statement of the board :'
governors of the lineslmeut bank
ers' Association of America, made
public.
The association endotscd the prin
ciple that any system oi taatijn
should be designed for the primary
purpose of producing revenue and
should avoid, as far. as possibk", any
arbitrary control over the flow oi
capital or the conduct and organiza
tion of business. The statement
suggested that it should be the pu"
pose of tax revenue to remove exist
ing impediment to the flow of capi
tal, rather than continue to a licit
or control the distribution of capital
and the normal economic couri-e oi
business.

THE aboriginal American danced to the monotonous
thumping of the tom-tom on the present site of Hotel
Fontenelle, where hundreds now dance nightly to the
stirring music of the famous Solis Marimba Band. '
The plaintive monotone of the tom-tom still may be dis
tinguished in the even rhythm of the musical marimba. ;.Yet
the elusive Indian note swiftly merges with the quaint strain
of "Oriental music and the stimulating dash of American
syncopation, swelling into a volume of rich melody that ie
ideal for dancing, and still is soothing to the senses of 'chose
who are offended by a jarring orchestration.
