Vice-President Dawes Startles Senate by Vigorous
Attacks on? Rules Now in Force Declaring
He Will Start "a Reform in That'
Direction.
(Aooclated Proa Lcued Wlrr.)
WASHINGTON, Mar. 4. President Coolidge waj, inauga
urated president in his own right today by overwhelming man
date of the people. For the first time Si 19 months, the country
has a vice-president. ' .
Standing at the historic spot where a long line of "prede
cessors have taken tke sacred oath, President Coolidge bent
and kissed the Bible in the hands of Chief Justice Taft and de
livered his inaugural address.
Vice-President Dawes a few minutes earlier, Had taken
'his oath and delivered his inaugural address in the senate
chamber. a
The president took the oath of office precisely at 1 p. m.
o'clock. Vic President Dawes bad taken the oath at 12:14
p.m. . .
Despite the president's firm stand for a lack of expensive
display, which had reduced the ceremony to the last degrees of
simplicity, it still was marked contrast from the midnight
moment 19 months ago, when aroused from sleep by the news
of President Harding's ejeath, he took the same oath by the
glow of an oil lamp in his father's Vermont house.
The president's father, Colonel John Coolidge, stood near
him today and gathered close by were Mrs. Coolidge with her
( mother, Mrs. Goodhue, members of the cabinet, the supreme
court, ranking officers of the army and navy, members of the
diplomatic corps and members C( the congressional committer

A March sun, which had 'promised to flood the ceremonies
with a glorious light, was overcast by gathering clouSs as the 1
hour of inauguration arrived and a prospect of a crisp, bright
day had slowly turned to a threat of cold rain.
But there was n change in the physical arrangements of
, the president's inauguration in the open air outside the capitol,
because the official party was Shielded by a'large steel canopy.
When the president spoke

was lacking the wild executive

TAX BURDEN TO
BE
President Upon Inaugura'
' tion Dedicates Himself
to Lowering Taxes.
WILL PROMOTE PEACE
Outlines Two Purposes in
High Relief in Inaugural
Address Verdict of
Nation Economy.
(Aanelatcd Prrai Leaaed Wire.)
WASHINGTON. Mar. 4. (AP)
Clothed with a direct mandate
from the people, Calvin Coolidge
today dedicated himself and his
administration to the lightening of
the tax burden at home and to the
promotion of peace through mutual
understanding with the nations of
the world.
These two purposes were outlin
ed In high relief by Mr. Coolidge
in nis inaugural address, delivered
from a simply-decorated stand at
ine east entrance of the caDltol
Just after he had taken his second
oatn ot office as president of the
United States.
Dividing his attention almost
equally between attain at fume '
and problems abroad and between
things accomplished and achieve
ments hoped for, Mr. Coolidge
spoke with assurance aa to tha
future, declaring that because of
action already taMen, an era of
prosperity lay ahead and a firmer
courage and a higher hope inspir
ed tne neart or all humanity.
"We have been, and propose to
be, more and more American." he
declared. 'If we have any herltr
age, It has been that It we bavei
any destiny, we have found it In
that direction."
Accord with this purpose, he as
serted, demands the cobJuct of
government along certain definite
lines.
These lines in the field af do
mestic affairs, point, first to the
exercise ot greater "economy in
government, and second, to reduc
tion of taxation, he continued. Tha
recent election, be' said, had dem
onstrated that "the policy that
stands out with the greatest clear
ness la that 'of economy ln public
expenditure with reduction and re
form of taxation." - -
"I favor the policy of economy,
not because I wish to save money,
but because I wish to save peo
ple," he continued. "The men
and .women of thla country who
toll are the onea who bear the
cost ot government Every dollar
that we carelessly waste means
that their life will be ao much the
more meager. Every dollar that
we prudently save means that
their life will be so much more
abundant."
The practice of such economy,
he declared, has brought the time
when there can be further tax re
duction and "when, unless Sve wish
to hamper the people In their right
to earn a living, we must have tax
seform." He declared his opposl
