demanding suppOrt from the local
guardians"
These are the officials who admins

cost upon local taxes.
The guardians" recently decided not
to increase the scale of relief work in
Norwich on the ground that the tax
payers were unable to afford it, but the
chief of police notified them he had re-
ceived a communication to the effect
that if help was not granted the un-
employed had determined to use "di-
rect action.
He declared the police did not desire
any disturbance of public order, and
under this threat the guardians"
Welded and doubled the taxes applica-

the chairman of the guardians" re-
marked it was the first time in the his

"WARREN G. HARDING"
Message to Mclean.

The following message was sent to
Edward B. Mclean, chairman of the
inaugural committee:
81 beg respectfully to suggest to
your committee the complete abandon
men of all plans for ali inaugural
celebration. Heretofore l have been
very reluctant to express my person
al views to your committee because
know of the cherished regard in our
national capitol for this Quadrenniai
event. and the generosity of the citi-
zens of the District in making provi-
sion for it, You were good enough
to accept the craftsmanship at my re-
quest, and you and your associates
have won my lasting gratitude for the
time and labor you have given to
preparation. However, if it is becom-
ing to express my preference, | wish
you and your committee to know that
the impression of eXtravagant expend-
iture and excessive cost would make
me very unhappy participant. [
know full we'll that the government
outlay is relatively small, and that
the larger expenditure comes from the
generous contributions of District citi-
zenship but it is timely and whole
some to practice the utter denial of
public expenditure where there is no
real necessity, and it will be whole
some example of economy and thrift
if we save the many, many thousands
which the inaugural celebration will
call from the private purse of those
attending
II have sent message of like pur-
port to the congressional committee,
and expressed the wish that no prep
arations or outlay of any kind be made.
1t will be most pleasing to me to be
simply sworn in. speak briefly my
plight of faith to the country, and
turn at once to the work which will
be calling. Again expressing my graf
itude to you and your associates and
to the generous people of Washington,
| am very respectfully.
(Signed)
WARREN G. HARDING"
