BY MR. COGLIDGF
AT ANNUAL MEET
WASHINGTON', Bee-. . (A. I'.)
l'rulnlnn ihe American Itoil (.'roB for
Its eximndlnK peace-time Activities,
President CnolltUt. ill un ihIUi-hhh to
day at (tin annuul meeting of the
nrganitutlon, dec-lured thut "one. of tlitr
most striking OiIiikh Jn the develop
ment of our country Iiuh heeii the
steady Increase In henevolence, the
disiwHition to do good that Is to say
ood will." .
"This growing spirit," ho continued,
"has led to heneflcence which, ns the
word indicates, is uctive goodnesH and
Hludness: has led to increased charily
which relieves Indlviduul suffering and
lihilanllimpy which deuls with human
ity In the mass Hither than individual
ity and prevents rather than allays
calamity.
."The American lied Cross prohalily
was the first organization of such
magnitude to alleviate suffering and
hardship and distress cuused hy un
foreseen catastrophes wrought )' the
elements, it is not too much to hope
that its example will he most potent
In arousing the spirit of henevolence
In the heart of our people anil In the
development of organized beneficence,
charity and philanthropy as we see
them working today.
"Never before in history have bene
ficent agencies existed to such u de-gre-i
as In the United Suites at tills
time. Those who conceived the
broadened scope of the Ited Cross and
those who have brought the work to
Its nresent state of efficiency quite
properly, 1 believe, should receive no
small share of credit for the extension
of the nation's heneflcence in so many
fields of endeavor."
- While the number of cntastrophes
has been fewer this yeur than in U.
Mr. Coolidge pointed out that the tor
nado In the middle west lust spring
caused the death of more people than
the entire toll of casualties coming
under the scoie of the Red Cross work
last year. The destruction wrought
there, he said, raised the greatest
problem of peace-time restoration and
rehabilitation ever known, that opera
tion virtually ended, involving assist
ance to approximately 33,000 persons.

This tract Joins the 40 acres filed

Kune xonwwhnt further than IiIh Judg

the work done and urged that Die

Competition between the govern
ment 'and the airplane Industry Ih not
contemplated Mr. Coolidge uld In
referring further to the uir tranwpor
titlon queHtlon. Jle felt that with the
approprlntionH already made and the
eytlmatcn 'carried in tills budget, the
IndUHtry which he .sold Hhould be
kept nlfvo for a national emergency,
would be uHMired of a normal and
proper growth.
IluslnesN Stimulant
t Heturnlng to the fiKca) affairs of
tho government, the president ex
pressed hope that further reduction
In taxes now proposed would serve as
a fretih Ntimulnnt to general business.
Me believed it would ppoduce fresh
tux Huurcert und increase or ut least
mulntnin the government! revenue
requirement! without the higher tax
levlen of the present day.
"The outlook for the coming fiscal
yen r, 191' 7. is most favorable," M r.
Coollflge continued. "For that year
it Is estimated that the ordinary re
ceipts will be $3,824,530,000 und ex
penditures 13.494.222.000. This indi
cates a surplus of $330,307,000.
Outlook Bright
"The outlook for 19211 nnd. 1927
shows clearly that the united effort
of the executive and legislative
branches of the government for econ
omy. In federal expenditures Is bear
ing further fruit. In the lust four
fiscal years there have been two sub
stantial reductions in taxes. We have
restored to the people a part of the
moneys which we required of them to
finance the world wnr. Wo are now
In that favorublo position of -making
further restoration. The budget and
accounting net contemplates that
under the fortunate conditions In
which we now find ourselves the
chief executive will make recommen
dations to the congress as to the dis
position of the estimated surplus of
revenue. I therefore recommend to
the congress that there he a further
reduction In taxes. The satisfaction
of the chief executive in having op
portunity to make such a recommen
dation 1 know is shared by the con
gress whoso cooperation with the
chief executive In the conservation of
public funds has made such reduction
In tuxes possible.
Surplus KxiHMicil . -
"The ways a ud men ns comm Utee
of the house of representatives has
been Informed of our prospective sur
plus for 11)27., That committee has
prepared a tax reduction measure.
While Ibis measure somewhat ex
ceeds my judgment In amount nnd in
exemptions, yet .With continuing pres
sure for economy in the federal ser
vice nnd the stimulation to business
which will result from tax reduction.
perhapa wo can make further reduc
tion In itxcH of about the sum total
of our -prospective surplus for 1927 :
without jeoparding the balancing of,
our annual budget. Such reduction. :
however, should carry an obligation i
not to embark upon nw projects In-
volving large annual expenditure If j
wo are to safeguard the Integrity of :
our budget. ;
"The fruits of our labors are re- ;
fleeted In the coming lax reduction
neasure. It reflects Ihe results of j
he efforts of the servants of the i
people und of ihelr representatives
n behalf of tHe people. There have j
een no partisan politics In expediting I
ts preparation. I hope ihls same con- j
lltion will prevail in the considera-
Ion of the measure. "!j
"This brings us to the estimates of i
ppropiintions contained in this
tudget. These estimates reflect the j
ominulng pressure for economy In j
ederal expenditure. We have about :
cached the time when the legitimate :
lusiness of government can not be
arrled on-it a leass expenditure thun J ;
hat which it now reiiuires. With re-,:
gard to our legitimate business the ;
operating costs have been reduced to ;
nearly u minimum. Tho normal ex- J jj
panslon of the business of the govern- I;
ment in keeping pace with a growing
nation will Involve added expenditure,
from year to year. The effort for
economy, however , must continue.
So far un it lies within the power of
ihe chief executive it will continue."
Aid Dry Tumi
The president said he would send
to congress later n request for funds
to expand the coast guard as n part
of his prohibition enforcement pro
gram. The plan ' will Include con
struction of ten new cutters und a
number of smaller -raft, with com
plete personnel nnd equipment. The
cutters would serve In part In prohi
bition enforcement.
Kederul road aid was discussed by
tho executive and ho reminded con
gress thut any further expansion of
tho nation's commitments in that di
rection meant tukitig nioro money
from the people through both federal
and state tuxes, lie suggested that
while no change could be made In
tho government's policy "or the time
being, he believed that later the fed
eral participation should be confined
to construction of primary or inter-
slate highways.
M r. Coolblge adverted to the
changed indications of receipt! and
expenditures which had been estimat
ed for the current year nnd wild that
instead of refunds totalling $90,000,
000 on taxes illegally collected, pres
ent Indications point to refunds of
$l.rl. 000,000.
