Harding Here For Short
 Visit to Old Home City

W. P. c. Harding, governor of the federal reserve board at Washington, arrived in Birmingham yesterday morning and will return to Washing ton today.
 Governor Harding came south to at tend meeting of the board of di- rectors of the Atlanta reserve bank on Friday.
 T could not get so near to Bir- niingham without running over to see how the old home town looked and must say that Birmingham looks mighty good' he said There is no special significance to my trip at this time. I try to get around to the va rious reserve banks about once year and made arrangements to be with the Atlanta directors on Friday.
 Washington is an exceptionally busy place just now and there must be no less than 100000 nonresidents who are there on business in connec tion with the conduct of the war. It has been q tremendous tax on the ho tels and rooming places.
 Tn Washington, as in every other part of the country, everyone is ceu- tering attention on winning the War. Concentration of our resources and abilities on this is the duty of ey- cry ttizen and the people of the na- tion are rising nobly to the oeca- sion.
 My work is confined almost en tirely to finances, so that l presun { you het in Iy.1algham know ns much about the war and what is Go inS on in that direction as I do. At

ing the admission tickets of amuse- or fractional part thereof of the prices charged.
 But, after all, it is the people who pay the freight.
 According to the statement of the manager of the local playhouse the amount collected by this method throughout the United States will be something enormous; in fact, he said it was so big that he would not be- gin to estimate the amount for. judg- ing from his experience, it would be staggering. He stated there were tholf- sands of theatres and picture houses in the United States and all must col lect the revenue He stated that the amount of admission tax collected by the Hippodrome, New York, for the month of November was s1S,00O and the returns of the other hundreds Of places of amusement in the metropolis were in proportion to seating capacity. New YorS's collections alone for the year will go into millions
 The following figures taken from the records of the local playhouse are in- teresting. On the first day out of the tax collected tie amount due the gov ernment when the receipts were checked up was more than the annual amount paid the government heretU- fore. On Thanksgiving Day it was nearly double the amount. On the prices of admission charged at this theatre the average amount paid by hh ft-N1 showed no decrease i'll the attendance since the tax went into effect
 The tax is collected by the man. agement of all the theatres without any expense to the government other than the furnishing the return blanks and the office expense of handling the tax returns.
 That the amount will go way into tEe millions of dollars is apparent from the above figures. but after all it is the people who pay the freight" even in this instance
