COOLIDGE
President AssaiIs Proposal to
curtaiI Powers Of u. s.
Supreme Court
BY GEORGE E. DURNO.
international News Service,

BALTIMORE, Nd, Sept. g.
Standing in the shadow of a
newly unveiled monument to the
great French revolutionist, La
fayette, President Coolidge today
assailed as dangerous and reac-
tionary the PROPOSAL to subordinate
the powers of the United States
Supreme Court to those of Con-
gress. Such a proposal is incor-
porated in the platform of Senator
Robert NJ. La Toilette.
The President defended the crea-
ton of the Supreme Court as one
of the greatest contributions
America has ever made to the
science of government.
Fears for Government.
He declared that any such re-
strictions of its power would break
down and even destroy those funda-
mental guarantees of the Constitu.
tion--the right to life. liberty and
the free exercise of speech and re.
ligious worship. He went into con
siderable detail in his criticism of
the La Toilette proposal to give
Congress the power to set aside
decisions of the Supreme Court, and
he urged the people to resist all
such attempts"
THE time to stop those who
would loosen and weaken the fabric
Of our government is before they
begin" Mr.. Coolidge declared. 1.-THE
time for Americans to range them.
selves firmly. squarely and uncom
promisingly behind American ideals
Is now.
THE question is whether America
will allow itself to be degraded into
a communistic and socialistic State.
or whether it will remain Ameri.
can. Those who want to continue
to enjoy the high estate of Ameri.
can citizenship will resist all at.
tempts to encroach upon their liber-
ties by encroaching upon the power
Of the courts.
Have Abiding Faith.
THE great body of our people
have an abiding faith in their own
country. The time has come when
they should supplement that faith
with action"
The President divided his address
between a defense of the Supreme
Court, a tribute TO Lafayette, and
a statement on the foreign policy
of the Republic 7 administration,
Speaking Of 'erica's relations
with Europe, I,lr. coolidge reafflrm.
ed his determination TO avoid all
foreign "entanglements." though at
the same time extending helpful and
economically sound assistance.

CERTAIN SENATOR BY
NAME OF JIM' AT BAT
Watson Said to Have An
other Man in Mind for
Federal Prohibition Post
Shift to General Agents
Office Probable,
By c. A. RANDALL
Times Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, D. c., July t.
Bert Morgan, Indiana State prohi-
bition director may soon be trans
ferred to the general agents force
Of the prohibition unit, it was in
timated at prohibition headquarters
this morning
It was learned that Commissioner
Roy Haynes, who has just returned
to the city is thoroughly satisfied
with Morgan's work and regards him
as an excellent State director, but
that political pressure is being
brought to bear against Morgan by a
certain Senator. otherwise known as
Jim Watson, and that Haynes may
have to bow TO political exigencies.
Watson has another man in mind
for Morgan's job though who this
man is could not be learned. Watson
also is credited with a grudge
against Morgan
The initiative in the entire pro-
ceeding has come from Indiana. not
from the prohibition headquarters in
Washington. Haynes would like to
have things go on as they now are
but apparently fears he win be
forced to transfer Morgan to the
more mobile general force. Haynes
is leaving Washington for Indiana
on Saturday and viii speak at
Winona Lake World League. against
alcoholism on July 20. While in In
diana he may settle the Morgan
matter it was stated here today.

FALLING PRICE
ON GASOLINE IS
PREDICTED HERE
Dealer Wars and State Ac-
ton With Heavy Pro-
duCtion Factors.

Failing gasoline prices are in sight
for Indianapolis and Indiana, deal
ers predicted today. Increased guam
titles of the product in storage. fall
ing off in demand by large consum-
ers of oil as result of adverse busi-
ness conditions, increase in crude oil
producing resulting in lowered
prices, will bring about a drop in
retail prices soon, they said.
Already gasoline wars are in prog
ress in various parts of the country.
In Albany, N. Y, prices have fallen
10 cents in a week, bringing the re-
tail price to IL cents a gallon In
New York City and other parts OF
the State the Standard Oil Company
Tuesday cut prices 1 cents a gallon.
In South Dakota the State has taken
a hand in the fight, forcing the price
to IS cents a gallon.
These fights and general condi-
tons in the industry will ultimately
have their effect in Indiana, dealers
said. In this State the lead always
has been taken by the Standard OIL
Company in setting prices.
Prices are announced from offices
Of the Standard Oil Company Of In
diana at Chicago, and frequently
company officials here do not know
of price changes until announced in
the newspapers. Other companies
invariably follow the lead of the
Standard.
Low test gas now is selling at 22.5
cents gallon, and high test at 26
cents in Indianapolis, including the
State tax of cents.
A representative of the Standard
Oil Company admitted Monday that
