In agriculture, the President said
he was ready to open the inyestiga-
ton into farming conditions he had
proposed as Il means of determining
a legislative program of aid. This
had been withheld temporarily, he
said, at the advice of farm leaders,
lest the investigation become in
volved IN partisan politics.
Recalling benefits he said had &C

Mr. Coolidge insisted that without a
protective tariff American industry

The address in full follows:
This Is an organization formed to
promote the economic welfare of the
United States. In its purpose 1T is
thoroughly representative of Ameri-
can life It has it's headquarters at
Washington, in order that it may the
better cooperate with the Govern
ment for the purpose Of securing the
results desired. 1t is my purpose to
lay before you briefly some of the
policies pursued by the present Gov
ernment, which tend to contribute to
that end. IT is my opinion that a true
economic development of our coun-
try can. only rest upon the broad
foundation of ministering to human
welfare. It can only be promoted
through honor and justice. 1t must
contribute to peace abroad, and must
be supported by security, industry,
economy, charity, education and re-
lisious convictions at home. It cannot
thrive upon sectionalisn or privilege,
but must take into consideration all
quarters of the land and all the ele-
ments of society. It must provide not
only quantity in production, but
equality in distribution. And finally.
it must nourish that most precious
product of all human activity, which
we designate as character.
Il am in favor of all the arts of
peace, but l cannot be oblfVious to
the fact that the most miserable fail
ure which n government can infiict
upon the people is a lack Of order and
security. Unless government be
strong enough to maintain public
confidence in the observance OF the
orderly processes of law we not only
have no economic development, but
an immediate cessation Of all enter
prise and a substantial destruction
of all values. There have been wide
stretches of territory and entire ma
tions in some parts of the earth bless
ed with the richest of natural re-
sources that have never been able
to make any financial progress, be-
cause in them there has been no
accumulation or investment of capi-
tai, since there was no safety to rely
on for life or property. We cannot
be oblivious to all human history.
We must have local police protection,

EPISCOPAL HOSPITAL
SEEKING DONATIONS

Bishop James f. Freeman, as pres
tdent of the board Of governors of
the Episcopal Eye. Ear and Throat
Hospital, has designated tomorrow
IS Hospital Donation day and Sun
day as Hospital Sunday. Tomorrow
the superintendent and members of
the board of lady managers will be

duct visitors through the building.
The hospital authorities, while they
will appreciate gifts of groceries,
canned goods and vegetables, request
that cereals be omitted.
Offerings viii be taken in all the
Episcopal churches Sunday for the
benefit of the hospital. A large
deficit exists in the hospital treasury
and Bishop Freeman has asked that
the donations this year be generous.
The Episcopal Hospital was founded
a number of years ago in response
to the demand of the eye and ear
specialists of the city for place
where their patients could be oper-
ated on and receive hospital care. 1t

ment will maintain peace, promote
economy, provide a protective tarlff,
assist the farmers, leave the people in
possession of their property and
maintain the integrity of the courts

poets to make before election and the
most comprehensive he has delivered
since his speech of acceptance of the
Republican nomination. the President
declared his stand on practically
every phase of government affairs.
He discussed campaign issues, in
some instances for the first time.
Mr. Coolidge spoke before the
Eastern division of the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States, meet

country would be anxious to MAIN

things" there are now proposed "at
least two of the most revolutionary
changes"-Governme ownership of
transportation and limitation of the
powers of the Supreme Court.
Public ownership he described as a
most perilous undertaking. both to
the welfare of business and the indie

of the Supreme Court were limited as
proposed, he said, ''the historian

Sees Tax Reduction.
Mr.. Coolidge said further reduction
in Federal taxes was possible on the
basis of the estimated Government
budget for next year. and he outlined
as his common sense method of tax
alton:
"Getting all we can out of the rich
by making the rates moderate and
stimulating business to provide work
and increase the earnings Of the
poor"
In foreign affairs the President
promised cooperation in the interest
of peace; declared for constitutional
covenants outlawing aggressive war
fare, and reafflrrned his proposal for
adherence to the Permanent Court of
International Justice. He announced
opposition, however, to participation
by this Government in international

purely our own domestic affairs: to
the cancellation of war debts owed
this nation, and to the entrance of
the United States into the League of

Not just because it is an economically priced
oil, but because it lubricates better every type
of farm equipment, from tractor to an auto
mobile.
Big users, who can afford to test out the
merits of different oils experinentally refuse to
pay tribute to the superstition that eastern" oils
are in some mysterious way better" why
should you?

operates 10 automobiles, 3 five-ton trucks, g Ford

Reduction Of Expenses.

GresluenT COOlluge then pointed out
that the people of the country, be-
cause of the war have had to re-
create nearly cne-ffth OF our national
resources. We can make up the loss,
he said, only by saving part of what
we produce each day.
TT is for that reason" he contln-
ued, that the present administration
has made every possible effort to cut
down the expenses Of government
The expenses Of the government reach
everybody. Taxes take from every
one a part of his earnings, and force
everyone to work for certain part Of
his time for the government
when we come to realize that the
yearly expenses of all the governments
In this country have reached the stu
pendous sum of about $7,5OO,OOOOOO.
we get some idea of what this means.
OF this amount about $3,5OOOO0,OOO is
needed by the national government,
and the remainder by local govern
ments Such sum Is difficult to COM
prehend. 1t represents all the pay of
100000 wage earners receiving So a
day, working 300 days in the year. If
the government should add on $780,
100000 of expense, it would represent
four days more work OF these wage
earners. These are some of the rea-
sons why want to cut down public
expense.
Because of my belief in these prIn,
ciples, l favor economy that the taxes
of everybody may be reduced Much
has already been done The hin whinh
