NOT EVEN THE election caused
as much stir in Washington as
President Coolidge's trip to Chicago
as an ordinary passenger in an
ordinary Pullman car on a train fol-
lowing a regular schedule. There
are many who agree with the Pre-
dent in feeling that his was a wise
onomy and valuable lesson to
re whole country, while others
aintain that it was undignifIed for
the President to travel except IN a
waite car, and that the country
xpects SIS Chief Executive to do
liugs a little more deliberately than
ne ordinary citizen. The President,
oweyer, is well pleased with his
experiments" in reducing the
expense Of his office and there are
ldications that part Of the $500
llotted him for travelling expenses
yill be turned back to the Treasury.

ractice economy as he is to preach

Supreme Court to determine which
position is tenable In the mean
time, Congress has under con-
sideration a recommendation from
the President to repeal the publicity
provision Of the 1924 revenue law.
SEPTEMBER OF NEXT year is
now looked upon by Administration
leaders in Congress as the best time
for holding the first session of the
seth Congress should an extra
ordinary session be deemed advis-
able. By that time, the Treasury
will be able to give authoritative
information as to the results Of the
new tax law and will be able to make
definite recommendation as to
further tax reductions. Everybody
agrees that it would be useless for
the Administration to bring forward
any new tax program in the current
session. There is not even certainty
that the 1925-26 appropriation bills
can be passed before March 4th.
ALL THE TALK during the pre-
sidential campaign of a possible
deadlock in the electoral college has
resulted in proposed legislation pro-
viding for presidential succession in
the event that an inaugural day
should come around without a duly
qualified occupant for the White
House. The present law only pro-
vides for succession in the event Of
the death or removal of the President
or President, the members of
the Cabinet being designated, in
order of rank, to fill the Presidency.
THE TEAPOT DOME expose has
had one good result, at least,
Secretary of the Interior Work is
planning the creation of Federal
Oil Commission to draft plans to
assure a permanent oil supply for
the Navy. The Commission would
comprise the Secretaries of Navy,
War and Commerce, taking oil pro-
blems away from the Interior De-
partment. AS all battleships and
other war vessels will be oil-burning
in the future, the preserving of the
nations oil supply has become a
pressing Government problem.
