MM for a lust look upon the fen tuns of the man who hud dedlcuted his life to their service. Washington, D. C. President Cool idge Monday night officially announc ed the possibility of an immediate re ductlon in income taxes of $300,000, 000 or more on the basis of economies already effected and called for further reduction in the cost of gov eminent which will make possible still further tax lowering. This welcome news to all who pay taxes, directly or indirectly, was con tained in a 25-minute talk which Mr Coolidge, as head of the business the business of governing this country of ours made to serverul hundred de partment and bureau chiefs, telling them how to manage the affairs of the national corporation so as to yield the highest dividends of prosperity and welfare to the 115,000,000 stockhold ers. While the government, administra tors must do all that is possible to cut down the cost of government, the biggest economies that could be ef fected lio with the people, Mr. Cool idge said, referring to the encroach ment of the federal government upon li cal self-government, resulting in "a double burden of taxation" federal taxes for donations to tho states and state taxes "to meet the extravagance of stale expenditures which are includ ed by the federal donations." Total public expenditures in this fis cal year, ending June 30, next, are $3,035,000,000, compared with $5,1111, 000,000 iii 1921, while the public debt has been reduced from $23,977,000,000 lo 120,561,000,000. That retrenchment the president pronounced unparalleled in history. It has made it possible to lighten the tax burden materially al ready, and yet it cannot be said that luxes have l eased to he a burden, the president said. The aim of the government, Mr. Coolidge declared, must be to reach the point where taxes cease to be a burden. He estimated the surplus for ths fiscal year tit $200,000,000 and for the next fiscal year at $290,000,- 000, and said he would recommend to congress a reduction of taxes. The orderly funding and rapid re tirement of our war dept were dwelt on by the president. He pointed out thai we are now paying $130,000,000 less interest than four yean ago and of Ibis amount $30,000,000 is due to the lower Interest rates we now pay on borrowings as the result of im proving our credit "Pretty good pay tor :i sound policy," Mr. Coolidge dry ly retnariced of that $130,000,000.

SCHOOL DAIJS IN OIL LEASE SUITi- Unproved. DENBY'S ACTION 0. K. Every Major Charge of Government Crushed. Fall Loan "Suspic ious" Judge Holds Cheyenne, Wyo. Teapot Dome rightfully belongs to Harry F. Sin clair's Mammoth Oil company, T. Blake Kennedy, United States district judge, decided here Friday. Government charges of collusion, scandal and fraud in the leasing or the dome by Secretary of the Interior Fall to the Mammoth company were buried deep under a voluminous legal decision, when Judge Kennedy com pletely upheld every act In the pro cess which resulted in the granting of the big Wyoming oil field concession to Sinclair. Beaten, but not ready to quit, coun sel for the government, Albert D. Wal ton, United States district attorney, announced after the decision that an ippoal would be taken. Judge Kennedy's decision contend ed: That the executive order signed May 31, 1921, by President Harding transferring the naval oil reserves from the jurisdiction of the navy de partment to that of tho interior de partment was legal and not obtained from the chief executive by fraud. That an act of congress of Juno 4, 1920, under which the lease and other negotiations were consummated, cloth ed the secretary of the navy with full power to do everything that was done In negotiating the naval oil leases. That the "loan" of $25,000 by Sin ctair to rati in June, 1923, was a suspicious circumstances," but that tho ready explanation given by Sin OlelT's attorney, J. W. Zevely, to a senate investigation committee and the lack of evidence that any attoaint at secrecy was made over the trans action gave It the badge of a legiti mate transaction. That the govern ment's allegations of fraud had not been sustained. Every major allegation made by the government was crushed under the derision. Judge Kennedy near the end of tho decision said: In reaching a conclusion in this case, we fullv realize the degree of un popularity with which it will bo re ceived. This is true in the nature of things, because the great general pub lic is reached only with the sensation al features surrounding the transac tions involved, and is laregly In the dark to all the other multitude of circumstances with which the case is surrounded and knows perhaps less of the great legal principles which the experience of the ages has taught mankind must control In dealing with the rights of persons and properly."
