Phones 389 301 "The Price of Redemption," the big new Metro production starring Bert Lytell, will be the feature at traction at the Pastime theatre to day. Picturized from the famous novel,. "The Temple of Dawn." by 1. A. R. Wylie. this new Lytell ve hicle is said to surpass all previous production of this popular young star, and to establish a nt:w record in expansive film creations. : The story of the play in which Bert Lytell enacts the leading role is that of a young Englishman . in the dark heart of India, who becomes famous for a deed of exceptional bravery and then sinks to the depths of degradation after an unhappy, marriage in London. The picture por trays life in far off India where, in English g-arrisons and native villages- Leigh Dering, a young Eng lish efficsr. first distinguishes him- sel as the hsro of Fort Akbar, and then s"ounds all the depths of evil ways among the native grcg-sellers hums and opium dives. In thecast supporting Mr. Lvtai in "The Price of Redemption" are beena Owen, Cleo Madison and Landers Stevens. Dallas M. Fitz gerald directed the production, which was photographed by Sol Polito Beautiful scenic effects are a part of this superb new picture including a native uprising when the ga-riso;i of Akbar is stormed by the Hindus and the British occupants are threat ened 'with death. It provides Bert Lytell with the opportunity for isonis of the best work ot his career. JOHNSON TELLS WHY .v- HE OPPOSES BLAIR Senator- Hiram Johnson nf Cnhfnr nia gave out' in " Washington last night a statement on why he opposed the. confirmation of David H. Biair of Winston-salem -as internal te nue commissioner.. It follows: "I am not speaking at all ubent what occurred in executive sessioiy I am opposed to the confirmation of Mr. Ulair. My obiection is based up on two grounds. First, he was a dsie gate to the Kepur.lican national cori vention bound under the law of North Carolina to vote for the candi date receiving the majority of votc-.s in the presidential primary. I receiv ed in mat primary tnree times as Renew your health hy purifying your system with mm iwmt w-m Mf r.'T. wmit w mm, WjM ms m m -m Quick and delightful re lief for biliousness, colds, constipation, . headaches, and stomach, liver,, and hktod troubles. Tho genuine are soiu in 3Ec Dackasrc. fVv aid imitations. 1 1 many votes as my opponent, iilair. i as a delegate to the national conve"i- tion. did not obey the mandate of the primary. He vi olated the law and be trayed his people. He is now nominat i ed to the most impotant administra I tive office in the United States. He administers tax, prohibition and oth er laws. A man who will violate his own state laws is unfit to administer the national laws. "Ths second objection to Mr. Blair because of the secrecy main tained concerning tax returns is in volved in some obscurity. Mr. Blair's father-in-law is one of the richest, is not the richest, man in North Carolina. He sought by forming a partnership with his family to less en the amount of his income tax. He was required to. pay and it is as serted he did pay the full amount claimed by the government and the .member of his tamily as partners have sought a refund. Soni3 hun dreds of thousands of dollars have been at stake. There 's 3 dispute about the present exact situation. At any rate Mr. Blair ought not to be in a position where he is in .the slightest degree connected wit'i re funds due to his wife- his father-in-la! and other relatives." Reverting to tre alleged "double crossing" of. Senator Johnson by Mr. Blair at the Chicago convention, ad ministration senators said the Re publican primary in North Carolina was not representative because about 20,000 votes were cast for Johnson 2nd Wood in a state that casr, more than 225,000 Republican votes in tne November election. o i o i WHY? PEOPLE ARE KIND Ashevilleifcizen. In a day'!' when psycho-analysis is a popular ..study and experts-' dissect us to determine the elementary caus es of every .human motive, uVls lo be expected that the emotions will come in for careful scrutiny. Yesterday lciTe.:,was scientificially. .explained to day altriusim is' stripped bate 6f il its pretense rand shown in its , true light. v Human beings had credited them selves with one good quality in benev olence, in kindness coward others a Writ for which they should ba lauded something entirely unselfish. Batsome psycho-analysts, in this by noWeans original, dismiss this as suhVioh as a false one, and strip us oT;,any credit forbeing good. There is much ego in altruism, says the scientist and the two are not co-ordinate yet conflicting. We are considerate of others merely because it pays, either materially or in feed ing our self love. In some cases the conferring of kindness on others stirs a feeling of superiority in us and ou vanity is fed. We do not realize this when giving a coin to a beggar but the underlying motive is vanity so say the dissectors. ,In other instances we may be in clined to admit something of self-interest as a motive for our good act ions. Man has learned from experi ence that he carnot have his unlim ited way in all things and finds that it pays to yield something to others in order to induce them to yield some thing to him. Nations at war barred certain cruel methods such as dum dum bullets !not to save suffering on the other side but to keep the other fellow from retaliating by the same means yet we credit as motive to widespread humanity. To a non-expert the most convinc ing argument that altruism is not an' elementary emotion, such as we mayj suppose self love to be, lies N in the fact of its absence from most primi tive peoples, the savages of athe lowest tvpe. But. on the nthpr hand. ! terest may have originated it, con sideration for others may have be come V tlhe highetr races a self propagating plant, independent of egoism? The apostles of ultilitari anism explain too much; there is in human life a capacity for sacrifice which rises far above the' dictates of self interest in any form. MR. MELLON'S, TAX PROPOSALS Springfield. Republican. ,Secretary Mellcn's letter to Chair man Fordney on federal taxes and expenditures might easily have been written by Secretary Houston. his Democratic predecessor. In no other government department has a strik- ing continuity or policy regardless of party politics been so manifest as in the treasury since Mr. Mellon's instalation as secretary. iSecretary Mellon calls for total internal revenues in the fiscal years 1922 and 1923 of about $4,000,000, 000; that was the necessary sum fcecietary ,Houstan had estimated ii his last report. In suggesting pi-o-nosals for a " revision of -internal revenue taxes, the Republican and the Democratic secretaries are found to be in substantial accord. They agree in disapproving a general sales tax and in recommending the repeal of the excess profits tax, the down ward revision of the income surtaxes and the wiping out of the so-allc-d small "nuisance" taxes such as those on soda fountan drinks. Both sec retaries suggest the lew of modified tax on corporate profits, also in creased stamp taxes and federal li cense fees on automobiles. Spcrpferv Houston's last annual report thus be.. comes an interesting forecast of vthe tax program ...recommended by his successor. '""' HOT, DIZZY fEELiB 1 .-J"1.. Atlanta Lady's Uncomfortable and Annoymg Condition Relieved, ? She Says, by Cardiri. Atlanta,. Ga. Miss Alice Frances Young, of 23 East Alexander Street, this city, says: "After entering wo manhood, I suffered so much with womanly weakness. My back ached. I would have, at certain times, a hot feelipg that seemed to go to my head. Even my shoulders would hurt, and it zna.de ino very dizzy and,, uncomfort able. When, the blood would flow to my head I suppose that was what it v:as I would faint and feel so weak. l couldn't do my work. I had a good position, and this was surelv annoying as well as embarrassing. v I would usually have to go home and go to bed. I certainly suffered greatly. "I heard of Cardui, and my mother bought it for me. It was the first and only medicine that ever did me any good for this trouble." Dizziness, headache, sideache, back ache, tired-out feeling and other dis agreeable symptoms are often signs of womanly troubles. Thousands of wo men who formerly suffered from these and similar ailments have found Car dui a very valuable remedy. Cardui is composed only of pure, vegetable ingredients which have long been recognized as of medicinal value in the treatment of many diseases and disorders peculiar to women. -l ane uardui. Your druggist sells It. NC140 - The backbone of the program ad vocated by the Democratic and Re publican secretaries, the one writing in December and the other in April,'1 is the elimination of the excess-j profits and income surtaxes without 1 levying a general sales tax as a sub stitute. Such a program of course calls for rigid economy in appropria tions and . both secretaries strongly j emphasize the point. The govern-' ment this fiscal year is spending: at I fVio vutji n-t zk.((( nno nnn wViisii ' Secretary Mellon calls "shocking.

LA L ...ax 1 . 1 W L- W J 1 1 ' ' ' ' - . . a billion dollars unless Congress adopts a policy of drastic retrench ment on armaments. At one notable point Secretary Mellon advances beyond the salient recommendations of his predecessor in advising that the time may have come to restrict any further issues of tax exempt securities, of which the outstanding issues aggregating some $10,000,000-000 federal, state and municipal constitute "an eco nomic evil of the first magnitude." These tax-exempt securities have made almost futile the higher sur taxes on large income because the millionaires so generally se?k in vestments upon which no taxes can be lavied. Inasmuch as Secretary Mellon is one of tha richest men in the United States, this recommenda tion is much to hig credit.
