Washington, D. C The four years of administration upon which Presi dent Coolidge will enter March 4 were dedicated by the executive Monthly night to a reduction of the tax burden, a decrease in federal expenditures and "continuing pressure for economy" within the government. Speaking before the semi-annuul meeting of executive and administra tion officials of the government, Mr. Coolidge declared that If congress sus tained the current budget recommend ations for expenditures, he would be able next fall to propose a further cut In taxes. The president expected a surplus of $373,000,000 in the fiscal year 1926, and on that basis, he as serted, further tax relief should be granted. He warned, however, that any ntw and unnecessary expendi tures would upset the plans of the treasury now seemingly assured of success. The president also told the officials that hereafter there must be a policy within the government of getting more work done with fewer workers. He said there could be no cut in the com pensation of the workers, and that the only hope of reducing a payroll that last year aggregated $1.6SO,000.000 was to reduce the number on that pay roll. An increasing cost of government through natural expansion of the na tion, the president regarded as ob vious. He declared, however, that the increase in governmental cost must not advance, "dollar for dollar," with the increasing revenues assumed to come from increased business and em phasized the fcicreaslng load on the government could not be used as the excuse for added expenditures except where absolutely necessary. The proceedings of the meeting of federal officials, including the presi dent's address, was broadcast by radio from ten stations throughout the country. "We are evidently entering upon an era of Increasing business activity and material prosperity," said the presi dent. "With increasing business, we can surely depend upon increasing revenues. I have heretofore Indicat ed my purpose that growing revenues shall not be absorbed in unwarranted increases In federal expenditures. As the country grows, an honest, reason able Increase In cost of government is expected. That Increase, however, must not be timed to keep step, dollar for dollar, with the increase in revenue." W.

The anti-klan version is that Young and his companions thereupon went to the hotel to seek Thomas and "shoot it out." The klan account is that Young and the others were attacked as they pass ed by outside. Young adherents as serted Forbes was shot from above, because the bullet penetrated his skull in a direction' indicating it might have been fired from an upper window. Major Davis late Sunday Issued an order stopping the long procession of curious persons passing through the undertaking establishments to view the bodies.

( by MeClura Ntw , .par Syadltala) Something to Think .About By F.J. WALKER HELP YOURSELF p VEKTTHI.NG beneath the sun It available to the deserving, so reach out your hands and help your self. To be worthy you should be putlent, Industrious, persevering, charltuble toward the weuk, respectful to the strong. Tou must overcome foolish pride and envy; be not afraid to soil your hands, but a verltuble coward when It comes to the point where you are called upon to smudge your soul. Go forth with a heart full of faith and a Joyous countenance. Do not grumble If you happen to be In the lower ranks. Think of the great men of today who came up from humble places and won distinction, whoso names are written across the lunds and seas In flaming letters. Hold faith high above your head, Let Its unfailing torch Illuminate your path all through life, and murch on as sured that the goal you have set your heart upon Is Just ahead. Do not falter If your road should be difficult and your burden wearisome. Difficulties are common obstacles. No one can get anything worth while without overcoming them. Affluence and power have their be ginning in small things, both capable of being won by well-directed thought and effort. They belong to the capable who are qualified to use them In the right way, not to the doubting, Inefficient and wavering, but to the courageous, the steadfast, who never admit defeat nor turn their faces In ' the darkest hour from the sun of faith, shining always on every cross und care. If you would help yourself to the best there is, keep track of your faults. If Inclined to procrastinate, take a les son from the tides, the revolving earth, never delaying or hurrying. Be methodical, even though It may In the present doy of haste and con fusion be considered old-fashioned. Train your mind to remember what your eyes see; keep your brain sensi tized so that the Impressions made upon It shall become permunent pic tures to which you can turn when they may be needed. Only what you can recollect In the vital moment Is of any use to you, and In that moment, If you should fall to remember, your whole future might be blighted. (O by HoClura Nawipapai Syndlcata.) r.
