Coolidge's Program
President Coolidge hati another chance to demonstrate his
capacity tor legislative accomplishment by securing enact
ment of the program he outlined today, the principal points
"Sing:
1. Incoino and Inheritance tax reduction.
2. Adherence to the 'World Court.
3. Keeping aviation subordinate to army and navy.
4. Curtailing shipping board powers.
5. Increased power to deal with coal strikes.
6. Encouragement ot cooperative marketing.
7. Greater observance ot prohibition and more vigorous
forcomcnt.
8. Railroad consolidation and development of inland waterways.
9. Sale of Muscle Shoals. '
The test of Coolidge leadership will come on the world
court proposal, on the aviation wrangle, on the shipping
board quarrel and on prohibition. Despite the fact that he
has a clear working majority in both houses of congress over
any coalition of progressives and democrats, and there will
be little opposition to the tax bill and other measures, it is by
no means certain that he will succeed in forcing his wishes
upon congress.
The Coolidge record of accomplishments is not an inspir
ing one. xaKe me list:
Favored tho World's Court It was pigeon holed.
Endorsed Mellon 's tax plan it was defeated.
Opposed soldlors bonus they got It.
Opposed income tax returns publicity they were made public.

AN IMPORTANT STMI'
An Mary enmo out of tho Inner
office, after mnkini; flnul ammiio-
menis wun Stanley Klnlce, tho girl
who wna walUng for her exclaimed
"You sot tho Job, tlidn't you? 1
wish I could afford to take it; ho
aoenia liko such a nice man. Hut
I knnw I couldn't livo on twenty
dollais a week."
"JIavo you over tried it- asked
Alary.
"Why, no, I haven't; I've nlwityn
lived with my brother. But llvlnK
in tho city Ls so hiKh. I'vo nlwayw
henj-d that it coat a lot to live hero"
"Well, let's go to lunch; there's
a cafeteria downvat the corner. J
noticed it an wo came in. "Wo could
KO thefo and talk things over while
we eatjwit'fl bo oarly that there
won t bo a crowd yet,"
Mitry folt vory competent Indeed
as alio encortcd her "now friend to
tho cnfotorla nnd showed hor how
. to gather up their lunchoon; tho
othor nirl, Ihouph oldor than ho
was, know so llttlo about city ways.
She liked this Rlrl whose name,
aho had learned, was Celia Stewart
and wanted to do something for
her, encourage her and help her
to find work.
They got amazingly well acquaint
ed during that leisurely luncheon;
found that they liked many of the
name things, shared many Ideas.
Mary insisted on celebrating her
having found n Job by buying ice
cream for thorn both for dessert; it
waa as they wore eating Jt that an
Inspiration enmo to her.
"Sco here," ahe exclaimed
"Listen to this. "Why shouldn't we
live together, you and I havo a
little place of our own? Oh, not an
apartment; wo couldn't afford that
now. But we could got two roomn
somewhere, next each other, and
then make sort of an apartment
out of them."
"VhV It would bo wonderful
Celia'a eyes filled with tears of
Joy. "I'vo wonderod what on earth
I'd do, where I'd live and then
you come along and suggest tho
ery thing. Only I haven't got a
Job yet, remember."
"You'll get one," Mary told her
confidently, "If I'd had your ex
perience I'd go out to the Univer
sity and boo It I couldn't got work
there, or to nnn nt Mm t.i ii
torlea or aomethlng. You belong

u-.uu in scientirio work. If your
brother's sowell known probably
thoy'll know who lm la v. i

Tho clarified ads again. Here
It was rooms for seven dollars a

:ia I live. Maybe there's something
nearer. Oh, aee hero, Celia two
rooms with tho nxn nt iHtohon
aultablo for married couple, four
teen dollars a week. Running wa
ter in one of tho rooms. Well, we
area c a married couple, but If It's
suitable for ono it will be for us,
maybe. I'll tell you, I'll go and look
at It, while you go on job hunt
ing." "You're simply wonderful," Cel
ia told hor, as they left the cafe
teria. "I'm two years older than you
aro, and I don't know half a much
about getting around."
Mary Inughed. It was delightful
to havo aomeono thinking that ahe
knew a lot nboutjiow to do things;
her aunt had always said that sho
twoa Just useless. Hut that waa bo
cauae aho'd never had a chance to
do thing, Mary told herself. There
was no telling what she could do.
oneo she got a chance.
The rooms sho went to see were
not very large, but there was a
door between thorn, and ono had
windows that overlooked a shady
back yard. The windows of the
othor looked out on the narrow
passage between two houses. The
furniture waa not vory attractive.
Uut Mary told herself that they
could put up cretonne curtains,
and perhaps cover the chairs and
tho couch tn the back room, that
they would use as a living-room.
"I'll take them," sho told the
landlady, quite forgetting that ahe
hud nnt vol Innliiwl nt ti. 1,1. i
I or the bathroom which they would
have to share with other tenants
and which waa on the floor below.
une went away nguring up ex
penses In her mind. II er share of
the rent would be seven dollars
a week that would leave thirteen
for other things. She had plenty of
clothes, and her car fare would
be only ten cents a day; she could
walk to the office sometimes, If
the weather was good; It was only
about a mile and a half.
'I won't have much to spend on
luxuries," she told herself, "but
maybe I can get some extra typing
to do evenings, on Celia's machine;
she'd let me use It. And It will be
such fun having my vory own
home."
There would be trouble when she
told her aunt and uncle what she
planned to do, she knew. In that
she was not mistaken. She broke
the news that evonlng after dinner.
Her aunt started at her in amaze
ment. -
Why, Mary, what on earth would
you go off and llvo somewhere else
for?" she demanded. "When you ve
got a good home here I don't see
why on earth dou'd do that. In the
first' place, you can't afford It
and you can't be Bure of keeping
tills new Job you've- got either.
What'U you do it you lose It? You
get your room and board here for
just ten dollars a week It'll be
mighty different when you have to
do everything pn twenty dollars
I'll toll you."
'I a' pose this Isn't good enough
for you, since you've been going
around with a rich man," Lulu
broke in. "Pat Hamilton's been
too much for you, with all his mon
ey."
"Mary " he aunt turned on her
sharply. "Has he got anything to
do with your wanting to go off and
live by yournclf?"
"Oh no, Auntie," Mary cried. If
only hor aunt know how Hamilton
had treated hort But it would be
too humiliating to tell the truth.
Ho's gone away and probably I'll
novcr see him again. I just want to
try living this other way, that's all.
It'll be so much nearer my work,
and well, I just want to do It."
'If you had any sense you d stay
on here, and spend your 'money
buying some pretty clathos, and
when he comes back you'd land
him," hor aunt told her. "The thing
for a girl to do Is to marry and
marry well just as soon as she can.
You don't want to go on forever
working in an office and be an old
maid, do you?"
Mary shook her head and left
the room; It was Impossible to talk
with her aunt. But she was as de
termined ash she bad been that
morning to move, and began to
pack her things at once,

SAME ISSUES
ADVOCATED
BY COOLIDGE
(Continued from Page One
to produce nitrates primarily with
power development Incidental, ho
contended that the Muscle Shoals
problem had "assumed a place all
out ot proportion with Its real Im
portance." "It probably does not represent
in market value much more than
a first-class battleship," he added,
"yet It has been discussed in the
Congress over a period of years
and for months at a time."
Prefacing his recommendations
with a statement that "the country
does not appear to require radical
departures from the policies al
ready adopted so much as it needs
further extension of these policies
and the improvement of details"
and an appeal for continued vig
ilance against extravagant govern
mental expenditures, the Presi
dent emphasized the need for fur
ther roductlon and declarell ho
approved "in principle" the bill
drafted by the Ways and Means
committee.
Satisfied With Cuts
"In so far as Income tax exemp
tions are concerned," he continued,
"It scorns to me the committee has
gone as far as it Is safe to go and
somewhat further than 1 should
have gone."
In a long discussion ot foreign
relations Mr. Coolidge made these
assertions:
That the Locarano security agree
monts represent the success of the
policy of having European coun
tries settle their own political prob
lems without involving the United
mates.
That reduction of land arma
ments not only Is of prime Import
ance but a problem peculiarly Eur
opean and in its practical aspects,
and that "our country would look
with particular gratitude upon any
action which those countries might
take to reduce their own military
forces."
That "the general policy of our
country is for disarmament, and it
ought not to hesitate to adopt any
practical plan that might reason
ably be expected to succeed. But
it would not care to attend a con
ference which from its location or
constituency would in all probab
ility prove futile."
Urges World Court
That American participation In
the world Court would not mean in
volvcment in the League of Na
tions, but would "contribute great
ly to the advancement of our
Ideals."
That debt settlements already
negotiated "impose no undue bur-,
den and are mutually beneficial"
and that "every reasonable effort
will bo made to secure agreements;
for liquidation with the remaining;
countries." ;
Turning to domestic issues the!
Prosident advocated a new enact-!
mont of a selective service act forj
mobilization of materials as well
as men In emergencies. The report
of the air board ought to be "reas
suring," he declared, adding that,
the departments of War, Navy and j
Commerce, "should each bo pro
vided with an additional assistant
secretary, not necessarily with stat
uory duties but who would be
available under the direction ofj
the secretary to give especial at
tention to uir navigation."
"We must have an air strength
worthy of America," he said, "Pro
vision should be made for two ad
ditional brigadier generals for' the
army air service. Temporary rank
corresponding to their duties
should be awarded to active flying
officers in both army and navy."
With reference to agriculture,
tho president regarded its position
as a whole Improved although
many localities and individuals still
are In a distressing condition. In
his opinion farmers generally do
not wish meddling by the govern
ment or direct or Indirect price
fixing "which would result from
permitting the government to jop
crate in the agricultural markets"
and power should be given the De
partment oC Agriculture to aid
markotlng associations without un
due regulation."
In his analysis of the merchant
marine problem, he took tho view
that whllo elimination of the reg
ional representation feature of the
Shipping Board is not desirable,
"it has become apparent that with
out centralized executive action the
management of this great business
will flounder in incapacity and
languish under a division of coun
cil." Pointing out that the federal
government has little to deal with;
the situation in the coal industry. 1
he advocated authority for appoint'
mont of temporary boards with au-J
thority to call for witnesses and;
documents, conciliate differences, j
encourage arbitration and in case
of threatened scarcity exorcise con
trol over distribution.
As for prohibition, the President
Said:
"Under the orderly processes of
our fundamental institutions the
Constitution was lately amended
providing for national prohibition.
The congress passed an act for Its
enforcement; and similar acts have
been provided by most of the
states. It Is tho law of the land.
It is the duty of all who come un
der its jurisdiction to observe the
spirit of that law, and it ia the
duty of the Department ot Justice
and the Tresury Department to
enforce It. Action to prevent smug
gling, illegal transportation in In
terstate co mm tree, abuse in the
use of permits, and existence of
sources of supply for illegal traf
fic Is almost entirely imposed upon
the federal government.
"Through treaties with forolgn
governments and Increased activ
ities of the Coast Guard, revenue
agents, district attorneys, and en
forcement agents effort Is being
made to prevent these violations.
But the Constitution also puts a
concurrent duty on tho states. We
need their active and energetic co
operation, the vigilant action of
their police, and tho jurisdiction of
their courts to assist in enforce
ment. I requost of the people ob
servance, of the publlo officorB con
tfnuing efforts for enforcement,
and of tho Qongress favorable ac
tion on the budget recommendation
for the prosecution of this work."
With reference to railroads he
recommended authority for con
solidations under the supervision
of the Interstate Commorce Com
mission, and. expressed gratifica
tion that railroad employers and
employes are In substantial agree
ment us to legislation necessary to
regulate and Improve their relation
ship.
Along with development of in
land navigation, the President hold,
should go every possible encourage
ment for development of water
power. He advocatod Investigation
of expenditures and the success ot
laws In Alaska to detcrmino wheth
or too much monoy Is being spent
for administration and urged in
creased authority for tho Governor
of the Philippines with a view to
preparing the islands for "ultimate
independence."
He nlso expressed the view that
tho time had come to consider civ
il service classification of all post
masters, collectors ot customs and
Internal rovenue and prohibition
agents, and advocated passage for
the District of Columbia of a
mother's pension law that would
serve as a model to the states.
