Cold Weather Wave

8 Above Zero Here this Morn
ing-Prospects of Snow
in this Vicinity

A sudden drop in the temperature
over night sent the thermometer
flying down in the tube and when
early risers got out this morning
they felt practically the first real
sting of the winter. The thermom-
eter is said to have gone down to
eight above this morning from
temperature of about forty-five dur
ing parts of the day yesterday.
Those who have been going about
the past several weeks dressed for
mild weather got out their winter
furs and in many instances ear
muffs were in vogue to keep away
the frosty air. With the weather
man promising Continued colder
weather for today there is good
prospects for snow in this section
within the next twenty-four hours
Although the thermometer shows
slight rise since the early hours
the strong west wind is being felt
by those who venture out of doors.
Should the cold continue skating
will be looked forward to by the
young people on the nearby ponds
and lakes in this section of the state.
With the winter well on its way
there is no fear that the weather
will be too severe for the next few
weeks.

HAS
ECONOMY PLAN
The President Adds Two New
PIanks to Platform at
Conference Held Today

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21:-Presi-
dent Coolidge added two new planks
to the Administrations platform Of
governmental economy today in an
address at the semi-annual meeting
of federal executive officers COM
prising the business organization OF
the government. He will permit no
expansion hereafter OF the system
of federal subsidies to state govern
ments and will countenance no IN
curing of obligations by federal
agencies IN excess of their annual
appropriations except In extreme
circumstances.
The President, who, with Director
Lord of the budget bureau, review
ed the administrations management
of the governments affairs since the
meeting last June touched only
lightly on the subject of tax reduc-
ton, pointing merely to the relation
ship existing between economy In
federal expenditures and the result
ant decrease in revenues required.
He told the thousand or more ofii-
cials that to increase the tax bur-
den was to disregard the general
welfare and held up tax reduction
as the means of enlarging the re-
ward of everyone who tolls"
There can be no deviation from
the economy program, Mr.. Coolidge
asserted, and he called upon all
spending agencies of the government
to increase her efficiency and Grub
the outgo at every turn.
'The budget has been success"
Mr.. Coolidge continued.
"You have demonstrated that
there can be and Is a business or
ganization of the government. With
the easing of conditions the time is
at hand when we shall decide
whether a business administration
is to continue or whether our gov
ernment is to lapse into the old un-
business like and wasteful extrava-
gance. AS for me / am for econ
omy. There is scarcely an economic
i'll anywhere in our country that
cannot be traced directly or indi-
rectly to high taxes. To increase
that burden is to disregard the gem
eral welfare. Through constructive
economy, to decrease taxes is to en-
large the reward of everyone who
tolls.
II say to you frankly that except
where specifically authorized by law
L Will 1OL tiiC -
of obligations in excess of these ap-
preparations. 1 am equally frank in
saying to you that do not look with
favor upon the practice of asking for
additional funds for the year in pro-
gress These latter requests COM
monty known as supplemental esti-
mates, may be justified occasioahy
to meet real emergencies or con-
tingencies arising after the budget
has been sent to congress, or to
meet obligations authorized by law.
1t is only in cases such as this that
the chief executive will favorably
consider the transmission to congress
of supplemental estimates.
1--WE are all the servants of the
people of this nation. When con-
gress, representing the people, has
appropriated the funds with which
to carry on the business of govern
ment, we must confine our opera
tions within the limit of these funds.
We have neither the authority nor
the right to incur obligations beyond
such limits. On the other hand our
plain duty is to make every possible
effort to effect some savings from
these funds"
