THE DAY OF THEODORE

What day II was, that inaugural
day! As usual, the personal came

John Hay, had cut from the martyred

he cared so deeply. To wear that ring
on the day OF his own inauguration as
President OF the United States, elected
to the Office by the free will Of the
great American people, was to him.
perhaps, the highest fulfilment Of his
desires. The day dawned sombre and
clouded, but with sunlight filtering
through the clouds, and the ceremon-
les were fraught to those OF us who
loved him so dearly, with the deepest
solemnity. The Vice President taking
his oath In the Senate Chamber, the
arrival Of the Supreme Court in that
chamber. the glittering uniforms OF
the foreign ambassadors and their
suites, the appearance of the Presi-
dent -elect, our withdrawal to the
porch OF the Capitol, from which he
was to make his inaugural address,
all of this remains indelibly impressed
upon my mind. His solemn ardent
words as he dedicated himself afresh
TO the service of the country, the great
crowd straining to hear each sentence,
the eager attitude of his guard OF
honor - his beloved Riugh Riders -
made poignant picture never to be
forgotten. An eyewitness of the scene
wrote as follows: "Chief Justice Full

One of the pledges of the Harding
A Administration was for economy and
lower taxes. Both Of these promises
are going to be treated as "scarps of
paper" The government approprla-
tions, made and promised, already to-
tai nearly $500, ,000, 900 and the rail
roads and the shipping board will de-
mand nearly a billion on top Of that.
General Dawes Topped paltry $112,-
000, 900 off government expenditures,
but while he was saving at the spigot
the militarists and the friends of the
railroads were wasting at the bung.
It may be definitely announced that
appropriations WILL NOT be reduced
and neither viii taxes BE lowered-exee
cept to the rich. The House ways and
means already has decided on q reve-
nue. measures that abollshes the ex-
cess profits tax and reduces the taxes
on large incomes, but makes up the
deficit in revenue by increasing first
class postage stamps from two TO
three cents. The additional burden
will be transferred from the wealthy
to the poor consumers according to
the provisions of the Longworth bill
and no attention at all will be paid to
those who demand increased taxes on
| inheritances and monopoly values so
that the rich may bear their fair
share of the burden. The same com
mittee that produced the tariff bill is
working on the revenue bill, and the
last measure promises to be as vicious
as as the first. Fordney, Nick Long
