Calvin Coolidge Talks
Tie Knows What He Wants
And He Tells You
Another Bible Version
BY Arthur Brisbane

A presidential message, telling con
gress what the president thinks II
should do, and over the head of con.
yress telling the people why the pres.
1dent thinks he ought to be reelected
must cover many points.
| President Coolidge's message deals
with foreign affairs, money, prohibi-
tlOn, education, our islands, army and
navy, coal, Muscle Shoals, farmers.
the bonus, immigration, taxes, rail-
roads, merchant marine, budget, for
eign debts, world court, negroes, Rus
STA, highways, forests, etc.
All this ground President Coolidge
covers IN a message that has the mer-
IL OF being free from high flying ora
tory, and the greater merit of being
perfectly blunt, outspoken, unmistak-
able in its meaning.
You observe, first of all that there
is not word that could offend any
rich man. The most important work
OF all is to cut down taxation, saws
the president. That will please the
men with big incomes. For while they
have not actually been paying the
heavy taxes, it annoys them even to
think about them.
The farmer is told that he is doing
pretty well ON the whole, eleven of
his staple products having increased |
in value from five billions three hun |
bred millions to seven billions. As
one farmer talking to another, Mr. |
Coolidge tells the farmer he must |
vary his crops. The man in North |
Dakota would say, "Come out here
and do it. -
The president thinks the farmer will
profit indirectly by reduction of tax
alton. He won't when he hasn't any
income to tax.
On the whole the farmer must look
)ut for himself. The president says
No complicated scheme of relief, no
plan for government fixing of prices,
10 resort to the public treasury will
'e of any permanent value in estab-
ishing agriculture" |;
o
The farmer will recall drastic gov {
rnment fixing of prices, freight rates !
nd passenger rates did great deal /
0 reestablish railroads. But appar-
ntly there is one political economy |
Or railroads, another for farmers.
There's no doubt financiers, stock G
callers, and so ON heartily approve t
resident Coolidge's speech. They say,
At least he won't intefere with bus v
ness" and that all they ask. II
Seven women have been elected to
ne parliament of Great Britain and
ill have their say in governing the e
ritish empire. That's very good.
utting seven women in the house of
)mmons is like putting boric acid in
lie water with which you wash your
eyes and noses. Very puri- y
ing. II
Another version of the Bible is 10 II
, published, "The American Bible. "
rofessOr Schaff worked thirty years II
the translation. J. p. Morgan and
are interested in the publica-
On. sc
But the majority will prefer the
arvellous language of the old King
mes version.
For the stars of heaven and the r
thereof shall not give
cir light; the sun shall be darkened
his going forth, and the moon shall
t cause her light to shine"
You can't improve much on that -
