MARION HARRIS FRANK CRUMIT "I'm a Jazz Vampire." sings Marion Harris, and proceeds to prove it In a song of that name on her latest Columbia record. On the other side of this record she delivers herself of the tage advice: "Never Let No One Man Worry Tour Mind." Both these eonga are rung tn the characteristic Marlon Harris way. "I'm a Lonesome Little Rain Drop," laments Frank Crumlt on his latest record made for Columbia. This song I-- the hit of the Greenwich Village Follies of 1920.- On the other side of this record Crumit also sings the pretty love song "Margin." composed by Denny Davis. Art Hickman's Orchestra from San Francisco has played two new foxtrots "Darling" and "Missy." That's good news for dance lovers. This orchestra has also recorded these foxtrots for Columbia. That's still better news for dance lovers, because Columbia records are available in ten thousand places at once, while Art Hickman's Orchestra Is available in only one.

MESSAGE IS STRONG DOCUMENT ContlnueJ from Page One) It should be the duty of the county body to make proper final equalization of assessments. The state board, he added, should retain the power to equalize by counties after the assessments of the local units have been adJusted. Removal of the "Inquisitorial" list regarding household goods from tho present assessment blank was another step recommended to obtain "Just and tquitable" taxation. Recalling the, "solemn pleflge" of both the great political parties to remove the evils of the primary law, the governor voiced the belief that the direct primary should be retained for the selection of candidates for city, township and county offices and also for the selection of precinct committeemen and delegates to the state conventions. It would, however, he urged, be consistent with our representative form of government based essentially on the delegation of powers, that delegate sshould be chosen by all the voters with power to exercise their Judgment in the selection of candidates for United States senators, governor, rongressmen and state officials and for delegates to the national party conventions. "Removal of the evils of the primary system, he declared, would "create a situation where men and women In all walks of life who are properly qualified may aspire to serve the state and nation in the high ofTlces without pecuniary embarrassment or the unnecessary sacrifice of health and energy." Registration of voters preceding every election Is a cumbersome.. and expensive formality that would be simp

lified greatly by the enactment of a statute embodying the permanent registration principle. In the opinion of the governor. Such a law would make it necessary for a voter to register only once unless he should remove from the precinct In which he is registered.. Safeguards against the abuse ef the absent voters' law also were recommended by Mr. McCray, who recalled that in one county there were cast 6S9

absent voters' ballots. Reminding the lawmakers that throughout the campaign he promised the people of Indiana that If elected he would Immediately do everything within his power toward the" establishment of a budget system, the new governor urged that support be given a "comprehensive" budget plan based upon the experience of our sister states" which will be presented before the end of the session. The administration of the state's affairs Is a business undertaking, he said, and the people are entitled to an economical expenditure of publi cfunda. Saying he is Inclined to "look with disfavor upon the enactment of a great mass of legislation," but believes In the enforcement of our present statutes, the governor made tho following recommendations: Rigid economy consistent with proper conduct and maintenance of stte institutions. further advancement of education in erery way "consistent with a senwise and prudent business policy" to the end that Indiana will lead, not follow. In all matters pertaining to education. Support of measures and appropriations for extension of state highway system consistent with present conditions and proper maintenance of present roads. Solution of problems confronting agriculture "as promoting the welfare, happiness and prosperity of all cltlsens." Establishment of a simple and workable program of maintenance and construction of drainage systems. Dealing wtlh labor problems "with common sense and mutual trust." Giving women full participation In any privileges or powers of government created at this session. Lending a sympathetic ear to such measures as may be presented by veterans of the world war. (In this Gov. McCray expressed gratification that Indianapolis has been selected national headquarters of the American lgion.) Generous attention to the problems of housing, health and recreation. Governor McCray concluded his first message with a reminds rto the republican majority of the assembly of "the great responsibility that rests upon your shoulders In this sesston." "Control brings Its dangers as well as Its advantages." he warned. "Overwhelming power should suggest duty o fthe highest order. Too have the future o fthe republican party of Indiana on your hands. It is my ardent hope you will direct the affairs of the assembly In a manner to merit the esteem and good will of the people of the state."
