COOLIDGE GRABS UP REINS;
FORSAKES SILENT POLICY
Chooses Cleveland For G. 0.
P. Convention-TakeS For
elgn Issue Out Of Hughes
Hands
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
Leased Wire to The AEe-H eraII

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-Poh-
ticians are beginning to suspect that
they have been previously misled by
the famed Coolidge silence. They
had thought that they were dealing
with a -effacing, timid man, re-
luctant to assume responsibility.
But they were partially awakened
by the decisive tone of Coolidge's
message to Congress Now, by three
unexpected strokes of policy within
week, Coolidge has convinced the
most skeptical that he intends most
emphatically to be President and
leader of his party.
l. Coolidge upset the plans of re-
publican leaders to take the national
convention to Chicago and directed
that it go to Cleveland.
2. Through his friend, Frank w.
Stearns, Coolidge announced that his
campaign for the presidential noml-
nation would be largely in the hands
of William NJ. Butler, national com
mitteemen for Ma Massachusetts,.
3. He personally announced this
governments approval of the new
plan TO inquire into Germany's finan-
cial condition.

vention go to Cleveland instead of
Chicago. Coolidge OVERRIDE the pow
ers in his own party. Now the re-
publican national committee is en-
gagged in brave attempt to swallow
its pride and bow to the viii of the
White House.
The carefully collected pledges
which would have given the meet
ing to Chicago had to be abandoned,
and the national committeeman, who
are charged with the task of select
ing the convention city were left
without any chance to make grace
full retreat
In making William NJ. Butler his
personal representative in the pre-
convention campaign, Coolidge ig-
nored a large array of political tai
ent which had been camping around
the White House doorstep for
months. hoping to get that assign
ment.
Butler is unknown, except by
name, 10 most of the national com
mttee having only entered national
politics when John w. Weeks resi- gn-
ed from the national committee last
year Butler is not altogether an
amateur, as he was trained along
with Coolidge, under the tutelage of
Murray Crane, one of the most able
politicians this country ever saw.
But some of Coolidge's advisors
thought that man more famlllaf
with the inside of the 1920 campaign
should have been selected
Now comes the last incident which
may seem superficial at first glance,
but which reveals something more
upon careful examination.
Coolidge Grabs Reiis.
1t had been decided that the United
States would approve the new allied
plan for inviting American economic
experts to join in the proposed inves-
tigation of German financial affairs.
In the past, announcements of this
character, relating to foreign affairs,
have been made by Secretary Hughes
at the state department. When Har-
ding appointed Hughes, he an
affairs would be run from the state
department and not from the White
House, distinct changing of policy
from that followed by Wilson
But Coolidge took the reparations
announcement into his own hands,
After it was discussed at the Tuesday
cabinet meeting, he asked Hughes to
prepare an announcement for him.
The Secretary of State scrubbed the
statement In pencil. Then the Presi
dent read it to the newspaper CORE
spondents a few minutes later. I'm
der previous practice, Hughes would
have given out this statement him
self. There is no reason to suspect
President and Hughes. The incident
is significant. merely because it re-
veals an intention on the part of
Coolidge to act as the spokesman of
the administration in important mat
tiers.

Al Albany, Feb'y. 9-Famous
Californian To Be Heard
By Throng

ALBANY, Jan. 22.-The eyes of
South Georgia farmers are turning
toward Albany, where will be held on
Friday, February , a great meeting to
hear Aaron Sapiro on the subject of
cooperative marketing Of farm prod
ucts with special reference to pecans

Mr.. Sapiro is the California I'M

ton market associations. He direct
ed the organization Of the famous
Burnley Tobacco association of Ken
lucky and the Tri-State Tobacco as
ISOLATION Of Virginia and the Caro-
i.nas, and the Virginia Peanut Grow
ors ASSOCIATION.
While Mr.. Sapiro will deal partic-
ularly with the cooperative market
ing Of pecans and peanuts at the Al
bany meeting, he will discuss poll
selling principles as applied to all
farm products, and every farmer in
the state is urged to attend
The state bureau of markets called
the meeting here and arranged to
bring Mr.. Sapiro, the foremost au-
thority in the nation on the subject,
to Albany.
Colonel R. E. L. Spence, one of
the leaders Of progressive thought
in South Georgia, discusses the com
ing Of Mr.. Sapiro as follows:
'To my mind this will be one of
the most important events of the
the year to the farmers and agricul-
tural interest of this section of
Georgia, and look for a large audi
ence from all over southwest Georgia
to hear this wonderful man.

lated. the fallacy of this idea will
be seen. If the compensation of
all groups could be raised together,
nobody would be benefited, and on
the other hand if compensation is
raised in a few industries alone, the
effect will be to curtail employment
in those industries.
The upward tendency of wages
and the prospect Of another coal

Prospective Revenues

The Secretary reports current
gains in the revenues promising to
about $350000,0Q0. and
on the other hand decreased cx-
pcnditures of about $200,000,000
While the probabilities are that
the deficit anticipated at the begin
ming of the fiscal year will not be
entirely overcome, the Secretary
does not think it necessary at this
time to ask Tor additional taxes.
The Secretary estimates that the
total revenue from all the surtaxes
with respect to the business of the
taxable year 1922 will not exceed
$350000,000, which is only about 10
per cent of the total ordinary rev.
enues. He believes that it would
be sound policy, and at the same
time most helpful to the general

tn HE most important feature OF
the business recovery during
the past year has been the
Improvement in the prices OF agrI-
cultural products, tending to re-
store the normal relationship be-
tween these and the products Of
other industries The final estl-
mate by the Department of Agri-
culture upon the value Of 1922
crops gives them as S1,800OO0,0 1000
over the value for the year 1921.
This means so much additional
purchasing power to be expended
among the industries, and they are
all being benefited.
The year ended with the best
holiday trade on record and with
practically full employment for the
available labor supply The tend
enCy to higher wages and prices
shows that the slack has been
taken up and this means that the
situation is nearly as good as it
can be. Some readjustments may
be desirable, but when the indus
tries are operating at capacity or
TO the limit of their labor supply
they can do no more, except as
methods may be improved. More
over, when they have reached that
stage, there is dangcr that add
tional pressure will start cycle of
rising wages and prices, always I'M
healthful and temporary, After
every period Of either depression
or activity business is likely to
swing past the point of balance in
the other directions. This should
be avoided as far as possible. What
is wanted is stability, permanent
employment, regular wages, and
steady prices.
Aside from the threat of inha-
ton, and with a reservation as to
European conditions, the outlook
for 1923 is excellent. The princi-
pal industries have all the business
in sight they need to have to make
prosperous year; the only QueS-
ton is whether it will remain in
sight if industrial costs move
higher. The margin of profit upon
which employers are working,
however, is very small. In most Of
the industries goods cannot be sold
today on a replacement basis. Such
profits as there are result from
making up materials bought at
lower prices than are now prevail
ing. This is so because certain in
dustrial costs have been maintained
at high level after the buying
