COMMISSIONER BLAIR ORDERS INVESTIGATION OF AC-
 CUSED EMPuOYES.

Washington.-Sens and seri. in the Bureau of Internal Revenue have been ordered investigated by Commissioner David H. Blair
 The nature of the charges is not disclosed in statement issued by the commissioner but there have been ru- mors for many months of irregulari- ties connected with the conduct of af- fairs. particularly including the in- come tax and prohibition enforcement sections.
 The most serious charges. it Is re- ported, concern employees of the In come Tax Section. Some of these charges have been investigated in a preliminary way. and Commissioner Blair has discovered conditions which he says demand sweeping inquiry into the bureau generally.
 The character of the Irregularities to be probed is being guarded jealous, ly by Commissioner Blair and his ad- visers, and nothing will be disclosed until the inquiry. which is to be con QuCteu Uy ASSlStdHt SOiutiiSSioHSt Watson, have been concluded.
 There have been rumors that the Washington office of the Revenue Blu reau has been source of suspicious transactions for some time. Charges against employees are said to include the giving out of income tax state ments, collision between persons within the bureau in a position to divulge confidential information with representatives of corporations with cases pending before the bureau, col fusion of employees and outside per sons in business ventures dependent upon secret information within the department. and charges that some employees have accepted money in as sisting corporations and individuals to reduce their tax in one way or an other.

MELLON SAYS TO
 REDUCE EXPENSES
CONGRESS IS TOLD THAT IT MUST CUT EXPENSES OR IN-
 CREASE TAXES.

Washington. - Congress has been warned by Secretary Mellon that ii must reduce government expenditures or increase the nations tax burden Appearing before the House Ways and Means Committee. the Treasury head said additional cuts of more than S250 100000 will have to be made in the estimated expenditures of $4,550, 100000 for this fiscal year if addition al taxes are 10 De avoided
 Under estimates of federal outlay for all purposes this year as presented by MT. Mellon. $3.S30, ,000,OO will have to be raised by taxation, whereas he estimates that the present revenue law would provide $260.000,000 less than that sum. due largely to the shrinkage in the yield from excess profits and income taxes.
 The secretary showed that eXpendi. lures thus far in this fiscal year have actually increased compared with those year ago. He told the com mittee that ordinary expenditures foI July, the first month of the fiscal year were $322 ,000, 900, against s3O7 .0OO. .O0C in July, 1920, leaving a current de felt of sll3.000,000 compared with a delft of $76.000.000 in July year ago. Of the total expenditures last month S115,000.000 was for the account of the military and naval establish ments and $32,000,000 for the Ship ping Board
 If expenditures are to continue at anything like these rates, the estima tion will be greatly exceeded" he said.
 Representative Mondell of Wvom. ing, the Republican leader, said in a formal statement that it is entirely practical. in his opinion, Ito reduce the total tax levy by at least $500. 100000 and still meet all proper. nee, essary and essential expenses of the government
 The excess profits tax and the higher income surtaXes should be re- pealed and nothing substituted for them" he said. The so-called nuis. ance taxes and the transportation tax, in whole or in part should be re- pealed, and some simple, easily under stood tax. as for instance the propos- ed per cent flat increase on corpo- ration taxes, enacted to provide funds lost by the repeal of these last-men. toned taxes

 George Harvey, United States am. bassador to Great Britain and A.neri. cas unofficial representative at tho conference, replied to Premier Briands remarks with cordial appre- ciation
 It is understood that Great Britain would solve the Silesian problem oy awarding the districts of Pless and Rybnik to Poland, and it is said Prime Minister Lloyd George has expressed apprehension that any solution of the question would create in Upper Sile- sia new Alsace-Lorrane.
 Italy represents what might DC called a middle ground. suggesting that the frontier be placed east of the Oder River, but giving to Poland moro than the small portion of the mining district in the southeastern quarter of the country. where the Poles showed a clear majority in the plebiscite.

BANKERS MEET
is IMPORTANT

LOS ANGELES, sept. 19.-An ex-
ample OF how the country at large
views the convention of the American
Bankers Association to be held in Los
Angeles October 3rd, to 77th, is given
IN an editorial which recently appear
ed in one of the largest financial per-
iodicals published in the United States
This editorial should be read by all
who have the real interests of Califor-
MIA and the country at heart. It says
in part
"The people of the Pacific Coast
should not make the mistake of look
ing upon the American Bankers AS
sociation convention as an unimpor-
tant gathering. On the contrary it is
very important International gath
ering, the results of which will be felt
to the utmost corners of the earth. At
first blush, that may seem to be an
exaggerated statement, but as a mat
ter OF fact it is the simple truth. To-
day America is the great financial ma
ton of the world; to her all the rest
of the world looks for rehabilitation
and support, and the men who are to
assemble in Los Angeles in October
are the men who control the finances
OF the United States and therefore, the
world.
Would you have liked to visit Ver-
sailles when the treaty making was in
process? In one sense it was no more
important than the gathering in Los
Angeles. In fact, what the bankers
do at Los Angeles is likely to endure
longer and be of more permanent bene-
fit to the human race than what the
diplomats did at the old French city.
To miss a gathering Of such a char
acter, would be to commit an error
which any banker would regret for
the remainder Of his life. Every bank
owes it to himself and his depositors
] to be in Los Angeles in October"
Imperial Valley press., 1921-09-19

a tentative contract with the Federal
government the city Of Los Angeles
reserves to her exclusive use 80 per
cent of all the power developed on the
Colorado river, leaving but 20 per CENT
for distribution through Southern Cal
ifornia, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado,
Wyoming, Montana and Utah the
communities at inteest under the Fed
eral power act.
BY the provisions of her charter Los
Angeles is a law unto herself. She is
an absolute autocrat over rates and
service. Los Angeles can give or
withhold service to those outside of
her city limits as suits her conven-
ience, politics and ambitions and at
rates she can arbitrarily fix with no
redress for the consumer. The state
railvoad commission has. no jurisdic-
ton over the city. The city of Los
Angeles pays no taxes to the state on
any of her power enterprises. Under
the provisions of the water power act
which gives her preferential rights
over hydroelectric power sites, Los
Angeles, when the rights she seeks are
perfected becoms virtually mistress
of the destinies of half the state, for
these destinies are virtually dependent
upon hydroelectric service.
Should Imperial county beg for
more power, or cheaper power, she
could be turned like beggar from
the gates Of that proud and powerful
No court could minister to hel
misfortune.
Moreover, the one thing vital to the
people of the Imperial Valley is the
one thing that Los Angeles cannot
even promise to deliver, and that il
speed and more speed in development
which the future prosperity Of the en-
tire valley and it's extension is de-
! pendent.
