DELEGATES TO u D. RECEIVE HEARTY WELCOALE TO CITY
MUST PUT END
TO, WASTE OF
PUBLIC FUNDS
President Tells Departments the
Habit of Spending Beyond
Allowance Must Stop.
fex The As.oelated p-e.s.,

WASHINGTON, May 2.-Confronting
deficiency estimates of upwards of a
half billion dollars. President Harding
informed the executive departments OF
the government today that they must
put an end to the habit of living beyond
their allowances and then calling on
congress to make up the deficit.
In letter to each office and in an
extended discussion at the cabinet meet
ing, the president laid it down as policy
of his administration that only grave
emergencies should warrant the expendi-
ture of public funds prior to their APP
preparation by congress. He emphasized
his belief that the long standing practice
of making such expenditures without
congressional authority was one of the
most dangerous tendencies of. admin
istering government and one of the
greatest barriers to national economy
During consideration of the matter at
the cabinet meeting there was some dis
cussion of creating permanent COM
mission to pass judgment on emergency
expenditures which department heads
might recommend when congress is in
recess or cannot be acted upon imme-
6iately for other reasons. The sugges-
ton did not lead to definite decision.
but so far as it took form, it provided
that the chairman of the senate and
house appropriations committees and the
director of the proposed budget system
should hold membership on such a, COM
mission.
Mr.. Harding sent his warning to de-
partment heads at the recommendation
Of Chairman Warren of the senate ap-
preparations committee, who pointed out
that deficiency estimates already before
the present congress amounted to $216,-
OO0, 900 and that others yet to be sub
mitted probably would bring the total
above s400, ,000, ,000.s Most of these sums
were said by cabinet officials to have
been expended by the last administra-
tion or ,lyfEnrk,f6cfs inaugnrated by It

Opposition to Newly Appointed
Internal Revenue Com
missioner Develops.
CHARGED VIOLATION
STATE PRIMARY LAW
His Course as Delegate to Re-
publican National Con-
ventiOn Criticised.
(By The Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON May 3.-As a re-
suit of opposition led by Senator
Johnson. republican, California, the
senate late today voted to recommit
the nomination of David II. Blair, of
Winston Salem, n. c.; for internal
revenue commissioner to the senate
finance committee with instructions
10 investigate Mr.. Blair's qualifica-
tions.
The fight against Mr. Blair devel-
oped considerable republican oppo-
sition. principally over his course as
4 delegate at the republican national
convention at Chicago last June.
Violation of the North Carolina
primary law by Mr.. Blair was said to
have been charged in executive ses-
sion by Mr.. Johnson.
Mr. Blair was chosen as delegate
at a state convention. Later in a
preferential primary Senator Johnson.
one of the republican presidential
candidates received Il large majority.
IN the convention Mr.. Blair voted
for Mr.. Harding. despite Senator
Johnson's claim that his support was
pledged TO the Californian until re-
leased by him. The North Carolina
primary law, Senator Johnson was
said to have declared, specifically re-
puired delegates to vote for the pri-
mary choice.
Another objection to Mr.. Blair, pre-
scented by Senator Johnson concerned
questions of income tax payments by
corporations in which Mr.. Blair's
relatives were said to be interested.
Senator Johnson issued statement
after the senate session in which he
said:
II am not speaking at all about
what occurred in executive session. I
am opposed to the confirmation of
Mr., Blair. My objection is based
upon two grounds, first, he was a
delegate to the republican national
convention bound under the law OF
North Carolina to vote for the can
didate receiving the majority of votes
in the presidential preference prim-
dry there. | received in that primary
three times as many votes as nv op-
ponent. Blair. as a delegate to the
national convention did not obey the
mandate OF the primary. He violated
the law and betrayed his people. He
is now nominated to the most i'm
portant administrative office in the
United States. He administers tax.
prohibition and other laws. A man
who will violate his own states laws.
is unfit to administer the nations
avs.
The second objection to Mr.. Blair
because Of secrecy maintained con-
aerning income tax returns is involved
in some obscurity Mr.. Blair's father
ln-law is one of the richest, but not
the richest man In North Carolina. He
sought by forming a partnership with
his family to lessen the amount of his
income tax. He was required to pay
and It is asserted that he did pay,
the full amount claimed by the gov
ernment and the members of his fam
Ily as partners have sought a re-
fund. Some hundreds OF thousands

Snobs and Jobs.

Philadelphia Public Ledger: A
/ Russian prince who has been living
for months at one of the finest hotels
in New York rails bitterly at fate be-
cause he is down to his last dollar
and his friends have grown weary OF
! lending him money on no security but
that of a bankrupt title from a dead
regime. The fact that he is refugee
he seems to think, entities him to live
on credit without bestirring himself
in the ignoble and defiling business of
earning a living.
There are many of Gods noblemen
and noblewomen, though they have no
title, who walk the earth today in
pain and the last extremity of want,
who are doing their very best to sup
port themselves and are the victims
of conditions beyond their control. A
horde of these unhappy ones are COM
patriots of this elegant gentleman
who has been too disdainful to find
respectable manual labor if he could
not find some task nearer the finicky
elegance of his liking. They deserve
all sympathy, and in many cases they
are getting it; and while America
backs and fills as to her information
al political responsibilities, it is al
ways comfort and a reinsurance to
realize how many Americans are at
work in the Old World today, feeding
the hungry, binding up the wounds Of
the MANNED, befriending the forlorn.
But the worthy destitute need our
aid so much that we can have no SYM
pathy to spare for lazy parasites who
hang out the sign, II am a refugee"
and in the shadow of that sign are
willing to beg but not to dig. In this
country we do not call them princes
we call them tramps. 1t is mistake
to expend maudlin emotion over the
plight of those who find themselves at
the zero-hour in their finances and can
think of no way out but to write an
other begging letter the stationery
of luxurious hostelry that is tired
of seeing so much Of the loungelizards
and so little of their money.

This time a prophet is not without

Schwab is wholly right. The persons

Europe is beginning to recover,
very slowly, it is true, but still it is
recovery. Before long, the return
to sanity which is noticeable in our
own country, will be evident in

Italy has gone through her fever and

When to Pull Up.
Levang's Weekly.


We once knew clored man who
spent a good deal of his time fish
ing but seldom brought home any
fish. We wondered about it, and one
day we crept down to the creek
where he was fishing After that we
didn't wonder. He had baited his
hook with big fat worm, dropped
it in the water and then hung his
pole in tree where the fish could
grab the bait. Then he laid down on
the bank and went to- sleep. When
he awoke and pulled in his line the
hook was bare. The fish had nibbled
the bait and gone on their way, tick
led over the fsherman's ignorance.
He hadn't caught any fish simply
because there was nobody there to
jerk on the pole when the fish nib
bled.
And there are some men right here
in Lanesboro going through life the
same way that fellow fished. They
go through all the preliminaries to
doing good business, then they drop

Mark Twain on the
Value Books.


Louisville Courier-Journal: Mayor
Moore of Philadelphia, being congra.
tulated on the success of his admins
tration, laughed and observed:
"Good workmen are always modest
about their work. A woman once said
gushingly to Mark Twain:
I guess, being such a grand writer
as you are, you're awfully fond OF
books, aren't you?'
= Well, that depends drawled the
humorist. IF book has leather
cover it has magnificent value as a
razor strop. A brief, concise work
such as the French write, IS very use
full to put under the short leg of a
wabbly table. Large, old-fashioned
books with clasps can't be beat as mis-
siles to hurl at dogs and cats. A large
book, like geography, is nearly as
good as a piece of tin to nail over a
broken window pane.'
