DEFINED BY COOLIDGE i (Continued from page 1) relieve agriculture through en actment of fifteen laws were re called by the president, but he in sisted j"we now need in agricul ture more organization, coopera tion and diversification. He. ad ded that the "fundamental remedy was provided, as it always must be provided, not so much through en actment of legislative . laws, as through the working out of eco nomic jlaws." Because of this, he said, price fixing by legislation must be evaded. . .. fNor that nature and economic law hae given some temporary relief" he continued, "I propose to appoint a committee to investi gate and report measures to the congress in December that may help secure this result which we all; desire.' "The farmer should have the benefitj of. legislation .providing for flood control and development of inland waterways, better navi gation (east and south from the Great Lakes, reclamation and es pecially relief for those who can not met their payments on Irri gation projects. Bat the main problem is marketing. Cooperat ive effort, reorganization of the frelghtj rate structure, good busi ness ahd good wages in manufac turing! and the settlement of Eur opean affairs will all help to pro vide better market conditions." Overtaxing Schemes Scoute!. Denouncing as short sighted the plea of "demagogues" for aver taxing the rich, Mr. Coolidge de-i manded a further cut in surtax; rates applying on high incomes. "I want further tax reduction and more tax reform," he said. "I am not "disturbed about the effect on 'a ."few thousand people with large Incomes, because they have to paj high surtaxes. What concerns me is the indirect effect of high surtaxes on all the rest of thej people. Let us always re member the poor.

Come in and let us tell you all about it. 1DB mm -mvrfy the demagogue may make about his ability to tax the rich, at the end of the year it will always be found 'that the people as a whole have paid the taxes. Every student knows that excessively high rates defeat their own pur pose, j They dry up that source of revenue and leave those pay ing the lower rates to furnish all the taxes.' In I this connection, Mr. Cool idge promised to cut down the burden of government costs.- Tariff Kevision Proposed. "I ; want the people of America to be able to work less for the gov ernment and more for themselves he said, 'u want them to have the rewards pf their own Industry. That is the chief meaning of free dora." j Tho president indicated an in tention to make several adjustments- in the tariff through the elastic provisions. "As the business of the world becomes stabilized." he continued, "without throwing all our economy ic system into confusion, we can raise or lower specific schedules to meet the requirements of ' a scientific adjustment..' In foreign affairs, Mr. Cool idge described the administration as seeking only peace through ef forts by the Dawes Commission in settling the reparations problem, establishment of many treaties and seeking entrance in the per manent Court of International Justice. He called attention to the refusal of ratification of the League bf Nations covenant but recalled cooperation, by the gov ernment with the League in sup pressing I the narcotic trade and promoting public health. . "We have every desire to help," he added, "but the time, the place, and the j method must be left to our determination. Under our con stitution we cannot foreclose the right of the president or the con gress to determine our future pror blems when they arise." Recalling the disclosures in con nection with the naval oil reserve leases, Mr. Coolindge reiterated his determination to "use every possible effort to resist corruption in office." , j Government Must Ite Clean, j "The ' American government must be clean." he said, "the laws of the land are. being, and will continue to be, enforced. The government is sound. Individuals charged with wrongdoing are be ing prosecuted. Th.e people of this country : hate corruption. They know my position. They know the ;law will be enforced." - Mr. Coolindge served notice on the party to live witbin its means during the present campaign and to cooperate with the senate com mittee in detailing the lists of its expenditures. " . " He also plainly told the party that "no individual or group of individuals may expec any gov ernmental favors in return for party assistance. . Taking up only briefly the ques tion of national defense, tfre presi dent declared he favored "not merely talking about it but doing something about it." In a recital of the government's accomplishments since March 4, 1924, Mr. Coolidge mentioned the Arms conference, the restoration of "a technical state of peace, the negotiation of -treaties with many countries, repeal of wartime taxes, funding of a large jart of the for eign debt, improvement in employ ment conditions, enhancement of the prices of government bonds, reduction of the cost of govern ment, establishment of the budget, immigration reform, reduction of thej army and navy to a "low peace time basis." conversion of war materials and supplies into cash, increase in wages, a revival of industry, establishment of the veterans bureau, enactment of "generous" laws for the relief of disabled veterans and establish ment of a tariff act. I Touching on the new immigra tion law, Mr. Coolidge recalled his preference for a clause on Japan ese exclusion which would be 'less likely, to offend the sensibilities 6f the Japanese people" but empha sized that the law has been passed and approved -and "the incident is closed.''
