GUARD adlets President's Message Given Economy Urged, To Make Tax Reduction Plan A Possibility Economic Ills of Country Can Be Remedied By Strict Economy In Public Expendi ture, President Says WASHINGTON, Itpc. 0. OP) Congress received President Ce j1 idge's annual message today iramel iatelj upon convening aDd after lis tening to its reading, plunged into the serious work of the session. With the exception of the two ye:irs Woodrow Wilson was ill in the Wl.ite House, this was the first time since 11)13 that the executive had not delivered his unnu.ii communication in person. It was transmitted by messenger and read separately in the two houses. Congressional leaders generally held out little hope for the translation of many of tiie president's p"oposols into law before this congress dies March 4. Their views already have been giveu to the executive at conferences, the latest of which was held early to day between the president and Sen ator Curtis of Kansas, the republican senate leader and Senator I'epper, re publican of Pennsylvania. - - LaFoIlette Bill Opposed. ' ' A number of the proposals advanc1 ed by Mr. Coolidge are covered by bills which came over from tfie lint session. There arc othe pending measures to which the president voic ed disapproval, chief among them be ing Senator LaFullette's bill to change the basis of valuation otbe railroads. The leading of the mef sage iu tJic two houses was simultaneous. There were comparatively large crowds 'ii the galleries who appeared 'to give ivcn closer attention to the presi dent's recommendations than did the memlers of the house and somite. As the reading went forward there were private conferences on the floors by group's of senators and represent u tives. Much of the time, however, the lnwn.nkera followed the reading close ly, rsperially that rel ating tn the sub jects of taxation,, ngrit ulturc, and Muscle Shoals.

OP)--President Coolidge advised congress in his annual raessnge today that per haps the most important work-i couM do at its present session would be to practice such economy as to make possible a reduction of taxes fr the next fiscal year. p "The government can do more to remedy the economic ills of the peo ple by a system of rigid ecoooiny iu public expenditure," he said, atbuu can be accomplished through' nny other action." , Although stressing economy," Mr. Coolidge presented a wide range of other, recommendations, some new ard others reiterations of proposals made a year ago in his first annual, mps sage.. "' ' . . Opposes League Entr. - Most of these related to domes!..' affairs, but the president went in to the field of international relations to renew his plea for American adher ence to Uie permanent court of inter national justice; to declare the Uuitrrl Stntes not to be disposed to join tun League of Nations; to appeal for sup. port by public authorities, and pri vate citizens Tor the European rep arations settlementplan, and to re peat his declaration of opposition to cancellation by the United States of the debts owed the country by foreign nations. The new pronouncements marked the president's discussion of foreign affairs. One touched on reduction of world armaments, and the other Irid reference to tJie outlawing of war. "It has been and is my expectation that wc might hopefully approach other great powers for, further con ference on this subject ns suon as tli"? ciiryii.g out of the prevent reparation plan as the established and settled policy of Europe has created a fa vorably opportunity," he said with regard to armament reduction." Bui on account of proposals which have al ready been made by other govern ments for n European confidence, it will be necessary to wait to see wl;.i. the outcome of their actions may be. I should not wish to propose or have representatives Pttend a conference which would contemplate commit ments opposed to the freedom of ac tion we desire to maintain unimpaired (Continued on( pngc two) Furnace Mystery I Government to Open Is Still Baffling CCUA'.MHrS, O., Dor. flic Hex ley furnsco mj-nlcry, wlih'h for in'rc than two weeks baffled I tin author. -ties, todaj is ns much of mystery ni when the charred body of Mrs. Add;o Shectsley, wife of prominent Luth eran minister, wns removed from th" furnace of the parsonage on Noveirv ber 17, th counlv prosecutor said.

SUCCEEDS LATE E SENATOR G TAXPAYERS WILL Eugene's budget deliberations are over until . tbe general taxpayers meeting the latter part of the month, said Mayor E.. B. Turks today. Find ings of the accounting experts now puzzling over the city's books are hop. ed to reveal that the city has p. much larger sum coming to it under the 0 per' cent tux limitation than the fig ure of $81,801. The city's departments Jiavc uskc.l opproximately $!)3,000 with which to operate in 1925. This year they weiv granted $74,770 'under their budget and overdrew their allowanco 505. In order to hold the dpartmentu in the six per cent limiintion, the dif ference between the amount asked fur and the amount allowed will be pro-rated -among tiie various depart ments, and the .bends will be asked to prune their budgets correspondingly. Margin Rgns Low. If the $28 070, which represents in terest on the city's outstanding unpaid wnrrtnts ii further deducted, Kugene will be required to operate on lens than $o.1,000 next year which is gen erally accepted as impossible. IVo solutions remain to the whoh' affair, according to Mayor Parks, chtiirman of tJie budget committee. One is that the present accountant will find in his exnmin ition of the books that the city is entitled to much more mney than it is held to at present.'or that a millnge lax be vot'.'d by tbe people to take cure of tin1 margin between tJie amount necdrd to run the cfty and the amount available, as well nn a sink Lug fund fur emer gency purposes. The- wh'de matter will be thrown oppn for discussion at the public meeting of hudget committeemen, city councilmen and taxpayers, tnyn Major Parks. At. this time the feasibility uf voting a millage tax for" th purpo mentioned may he discussed, nnd any ideas that may lend to a solution of the city's financial problems will I welcomed. t ' Budget Items.

QUAKES DESTROY TOWN HATAV1A, .lava, Dec. 3. UP) Tbe native town of Nnngt Jolorrda, in Kedu Residency, haa been destroy ed in the recurrent earthquake shocks, and it la feared the death toll will reach ninety. Cash amounting to $2500 and $210 in merchandise was the tribute paid here yesterday to one of the cleverest swindlers that ever operated In this city. W. E. Miner, local capitalist, and owner of the Miner building on Ninth avenue east, Is the sole loser, so far as known, as a result of the flash of the stranger through Eugene finanolal circles for a few hours yesterday aft ernoon. A forged draft for $3500 drawn on the National Bank of Commerce, of New Xork City by the First Na tional bank ot Fairfield, Iowa, was the instrument by which one "James . Wilson" made a getaway after a few days of operations In this city. "Mr. AVllson" is described as being six feet tall and weighing about 175 pounds. He has tjray hair, light com plexion nnd blue eyea. The estimate of his age varies. He gtivo it as' 08 in his dculings with local men but be looks at least 10 years younger, ac cording to those who saw and talked with him. Story l Short. . ' The story ot the swindle is short. "Sir. "Wilson," bearing evidences of prosperity has been hero for .several days nnd negotiated the purchase fat a homo from Mr. Miner at 823 Twen tieth avenue east. He desired to make a deposit of $oQ0 to close the deal aid' tendered the draft which was accept ed by Mr. Miner who returned his personal chccC for $3000. Mr. Miner took the draft to one bank and tbe stranger took Mr. Mi ner's check to another. Then the al leged swindler started work, and it waa fast and efficient, according to those who camo in contact with him from 10:30 yesterday morning up to , Into afternoon when ho passed out of the picture, at least temporarily. "Mr. Wilson" called at tho McMor run and Washburno store and ordered $210 worth of expensive merchandise. Ho tendered a check in payment and asked, even insisted, that it be taken immediately to tbe bank in order that the store could ho assured of bis hon esty and firm financial atnnding. Tho check wos turned into cush at once being drawn against tho check given by Mr. Minor.
