|ROnping Around
the
Radio Dial
BY Ligtener-In

We went to WRC's radio concert
last night to hear Marcel Dupre
and remained to cheer Doctor
Adam Geibel.
M. Dupre. former organist of the
Notre Dame Cathedral. Is one Of
the worlds masters of his instru-
nent, but that instrument, we have
always felt. is somewhat out Of
place on the air.
The organ, perhaps because of its
long association with the cathedral,
seems to belong under domes and
spires. We have never been able

movies, and can not now accept its

thing that it is.

Doctor Geibol. on the other hand,
kept US on the edge OF our chair
the entire time that he was at
the microphone. There was some
thing tremendously compelling about
his little description OF his life
and career.
Wher, he turned to the thoroughly
novel feat of composing, without
assistance from a musical instru.
ment, a tune for q hymn--all on
the spur OF the momcnt-we were
fascinated beyond description.
Doctor GeibeIs blindness made
the demonstration more remarkable.
we waited eagerly for the first
rendition OF the tune. played by the
eminent composer pianist, who could
see the notes only as they had
been written in his mind and NOM

Governor Optimistic
In His Annual Report.
Says Government Finances are Sound
and Various Activities are Showing
Progress
TAX COMPLAINTS NOT SOUND.
Says Taxes Here are but Fraction of
Those in U. S.; Schools Make
Strides; Death Rate low.

In his first animal report covering a
full years administration Governor Tow
ner is optimistic regarding the condition
and development of the island. The re-
port, which covers the period ending
with last June, has been forwarded to
the Secretary of War and has been print.
ed here without the detailed appendices.
Before taking up his report proper the
Governor pays tribute to the late Judge
j. w. Bonner, who died January II.
1924, After reviewing his various SER
vices to the InsuIar Government, the
Governor says, He left a record of ster-
ling integrity and exceptional service
which will be of inestimable value to the
island".
The financial condition Of the island is
good, the Governor reports, and with i'm.
proved legislation for taxation and rev.
enue, expected to be passed by the next
legislature, he says the island may look
forward to years of financial progress
and stability"
Details Of the budget are given and
the necessity for borrowing 81, 000, 900 is
explained by the fact hat there are some
So, 900. 600 in delinquent and unpaid tax
es, and that actual revenue collections
did not reach expected income by some
81, zoo. 600. The report says it is the ex-
pectation of the Treasury department to
repay part of all Of the 81. 600. 900 loan
this year.
Complaints regarding taxes are not
justified, the Governor asserts, for the
local income tax is only a fraction of the
tax in the United States and the general
property tax is less than one-half that
imposed in the States. He says that in
the United States the amount of income
tax paid was $16.72 per ca }ita while
here it was only $1.93 and would have
amounted to but $346 per capita if the
entire amount had been paid. In the
United States the report points out that
the total of national, state and municipal
taxes was $685. per capita for 1928
while here if the total amount imposed
had been paid it would have been 1902
per capita.
The islands total bonded indebtedness
of SIG, 773, 900 is only slightly more than
one half of the prescribed limit of 10 per
cent of the assessed property value.
