the fiery Conchita Supervia. A vast
and imposing audience, much OF
which insisted on coming In late,
listened intently to the Lenten music
provided by this group and mar
veled at the harmonies, the smooth,
silken singing, the grouping of tone
effects which the choir produced.
1t being an A Capella concert, the
only person who didn't have much
to do was Paul Delong Gable, whom
the program announced with the
soloists as being "at the piano"
Great credit is due the singers
and their director for last nights
achievements. While the program
was long, it was never dull. A promi-
nent member of the National Sym
phony Orchestra sat entranced dur
ing its entire sequence. From Baltl-
more came Composer Franz Carl
Bornschein to hear what his There
Was a Knight of Bethlehem" would
sound like. 1t sounded very well.
Other highlights of the program
were the Burleigh Were You

gotten Son." in which the fusing of
the various harmonies was little
short of miraculous; the Bennett
God Is a Spirit" and the Nicolsky

In these selections the voices
blended nicely with each other, the
timming and swelling of tone was
accomplished with finesse, and the

INTIMATE MOROCCO
PICTURES Shown
Old Customs Still Prevail,
According to Geographic
Society Lecture.

Though the French have brought
highways, hotels, written law and many
other modern Improvements to Morocco,
ancient cWtonls dating back thou
sand yearS persist in Tangier, FeZ,
Meknes, Rabat and other cities, ac-
cording to motion pictures last evening
before members of the National Geo
graphic Society at the Washington Au-
ditorium, shown by Capt. Carl Won
Hoffman.
The "land Of the saints and bandits"
Is difficult to photograph because Of the
Mohammedan prejudice against the
camera plus the unwillingness of women
to lift their wells. Yet the traveller, by
visits over series of years, managed
to obtain motion pictures of the indus
tries, market places, tribal types of men
and women and even interiors OF the
elaborate harems. including the wom-
ems apartments, which are even barred
to native men.
Capt Won Hoffman's picture excur-
sions led him into holy streets where
no Europeans are allowed to shrine
where cuckoo clocks are ornaments
against backgrounds of ancient mosaic
and to the graveyards which serve also
as burial places for the women.
Some Of the most remarkable pictures
obtained were those of native tailors,
sitting in rows along the streets, while
boys hold their thread; the mat weav-
ers, the clothesmakers, the basketry
workers and the processes of making
the leather goods for which Morocco is
famous.
Native dancers using the castinets
were shown, and the speaker explained
that these, like bull fights. were native
to Morocco, and we're introduced into
Spain by the Moors.

Violinist Plays at
Friday Morning Club.


Friday Morning Club.
ONE of the finest musicians whom
~ the Friday Morning Club has
been privileged to hear this season,
the yiolinist Antonio Ferrara, brother
of the first violinist of the National
Symphony, came over from Phila-
delphia to play in yesterdays pro-
gram at Barker Hall. Mr.. Ferrara's
group, which closed the concert, in
cluded the Mendelssohn "Violin Con-
certo in E Minor" "Slavonic
Dance" of Dvorak-Kreisler and the
Prelude and Allegro" of Pugnani-
KreiSler. In all his playing Mr.. Fer
rara's tone was rich and vibrant and
absolutely true. His interpretations,
especially in the Mendelssohn, were
most satisfying Mary liant Couch
accompanied the violinist.
Cathreen Carrico, accompanied by
John R. Monroe, opened the pro-
gram with Caldara's "Sebben, Cru
dele" Loewe's "Niemand hats gese-
hen" and Tschaikowsky's "At the
Window" The lovely quality in Miss
Carrico'S voice made each of her
songs enjoyable, but perhaps the IA
vorite was the first early Italian one.
A Sicilian lady likewise sang, Rosa
Polio Jarman. accompanied by Mil
dred Kolb Schulze. Paradies' "Quel
Ruscelleto." Josten's "Guarda che
blanca bino," Strauss "Morgen," Ga
brilowitch's Farewell and Fulfill
ment, written by Mrs. Schulze, these
were interpreted Interestingly and
were slightly tinged with the color
of Mrs. Jarman's own Sicilian man
ners.

We Tell of a Political Promise

miSSiOnerS and said commission CTS appoint judges of election of the opposite political faith and thereby throw control of the election machinery into tn 6 hands of Democrats. We find in the federal off1ces-for instance in the office of MT. Flory, U. s. Commissioner representing the Washington government while he votes Republican his office force votes Democrat.
 The Democratic National Committeeman has promised his constituents that this practice will be stopped when and if he is elected to office. Perhaps the Republican apointees and can- didates hope to continue in of- fee by playing both ends to the middle-perhaps. We are of the opinion that this practice is now cut of date-that those who play such a game are going to be kicked out anyhow by the Demo- crats and that the National Committee, if made aware of the present situation would not tol- crate it any further. And it is the announced intention of cer- tain Republicans to present that

Is Progress the Goal of Civilization?

Not long ago, we were talking with MT. Edwards of trapwire fame, and he told us that we were standing in the way of pro- gress' when we opposed the fish tap. He went on to say that all history shows that nobody could stand in the way of progress, c. efficiency. The handworkerS of Liverpool, the cotton workers of the south, the handprinters be- fore the linotype, and many others only proved this point, he said. So he argued that the fish trap justified itself because CD it produced the cheapest caught fish; CD it provided the most sanitary.
 We disagree with MT. Edwards first because Progress is not the goal of society; rather the goal is the contentment of each mem Der of society. If machines bring this about, we are for the machine; but if the machine does not, then we are against them. Society has something to answer for when it permits a machine in these days to dis charge nine men out of ten without providing for the nine. Unless these nine can readiust themselves, somebody has to feed and cloth them however poorly. A simple electrical device for closing the doors of the New York subWays threw 5000 men out of employment. Does MT. Edwards Cor you) have the right to shut his eyes to the needs of these men and their families in the name of progress and let

Beginning on the 9th of this month, the City Council will meet as an equalization board to consider the tax problems which may be presented. The City As sessor has made his valuations - not much different from the valuations of last year-a n q some, not a few of the property owners believe that they have 8 legitimate kick.
 As regards taxes in the State of Washington, we reprint the following from the several pa.- pers from that state:
 Making a concerted demand for tax relief, taxpayers of the community voted to urge upon the county board of equalization that real property valuations be cut at least 35 per cent and per- sonal property valuations | least 25 per cent. ."-The Ray mond (Wn.) Herald.
 "The Paying public has not the capacity to pay that it formerly had and is crying for relief" ."- The Walla Walla Union.
The Alaskan., 1932-08-05

the Council must make up it's mind that it will adopt a budget mot with a maximum of spending power but a minimum of spend ing and a maximum of saving.
 The more dollars of tax money that are spent only means the higher the rates of taxes. Those who yell the loudest about their taxes still demand the larger ap- Ipropriations for city projects-it is always thus.
 In order to meet the curtail- led valuations and reduced tax, the council will just have to fig ure that it is not going to re- Ceive a revenue over a certain amount and then place it's bud get within those figures. And hen it will have to remain hard boiled when new projects are proposed during the ensuing year.
 The condition of the times de- nands not only citizens to re- trench and to quit the wild orgy ot spending-mostly foolish spending-but it is making the same demands of city, state and national governments. The soon- CT the problems are faced frank ly and in a sane manner, the sooner will there be relief.

Face The Problem Squarely

In the past several years taxes have held up to the full twenty mills allowed by law but the val nations have gone clear out of sight so that some Of the tax payers declare that this is the highest taxed town in the coun- try. Believe it or not. The fact remains that the taxes are so high that they hurt and any thing that hurts industry in a town drives industry away from a town.
 A taxpayer stated recently that he held two properties in Peters burg which he would be willing to let loose of for around $500 but that the tax on each piece of property was $1,5OO. "If I offered the both of them for $1,5OO could not get it," he declared But the valuation is held at that higher figure when the actual Value is not there and with the tax at 20 mills there is a penalty for owning that property in Pe- tersburg.
 The One Way Out
 The Board of Equalization can face the problem but one way to do so properly. Cut the valua- tiOnS at least 25 per cent and then cut the tax down to about IT mills on the dollar. To do so,
