Observation-Disclosures that curtail-

train nor private car on his trip to
Chicago.
Accommodations were reserved at
the Presidents direction for himself,
Mrs. Coolidge and their party on one
of the regular trains, and the fares
paid were the same as those paid by
ordinary travellers. The President
and Mrs. Coolidge had a drawing room

propriating $109,000,000 for federal
aid to states Mr.. Coolidge voiced his
vigorous disapproval of state aid.
Il am convinced that the broaden
ing of this field of activity is detri-
mental both to federal and state gov
ernments," he said Efficiency of
federal operations is impaired as their
scope is unduly enlarged Efficiency
of state governments is impaired as
they relinquish and turn over to the
federal government responsibilities
which are rightfully theirs. I am op-
posed to any expansion of these SUBJ
sides. My conviction is they can be
curtailed with benefit to both the fed
eral and state governments"
In connection with his recommends

President urged the enactment of the
new reclamation bill now before con-

creased the annual interest charge by
approximately s45.000.000. Interest
paid during the fiscal year 1924
amounted to $4,000, 900. and he es-

am for economy.
'If we continue the campaign for
economy we will pave the way for
further reduction in taxes. This re-
duction cannot be effected immediate
ly. Before it is undertaken-we should
know more definitely by actual oper-
alton what our revenues will be un-
der our present tax law. But the
knowledge of our revenue under the
existing law will avail us nothing if
we embark upon any new large ex-
penditure program"
Mr.. Coolidge pointed out that the ac-
tual treasury surplus at the end of the
last fiscal year was $175,727 900 high
er than treasury officials had esti
mated, and he advanced the hope that
future surpluses might exceed even
the estimates he was presenting to
congress.
THE confidence of the chief execu-
tive and the congress that our rev.
been fully justified said the Presi-
dent. "The fiscal year which ended
June 80, 1924, was closed with a sur
plus of receipts over expenditures of
$505, 366,00O.
Sees Surplus Under New Tax.
1--WE have now completed five
months of the current fiscal year,
which ends June 80, 1925. This affords
an index of the probable reduction in
our revenues under the current tax
law. 1t also affords an index of the
limits within which our expenditures
can be kept under the continuing pol
= icy of economy. A revision of the es-
innate of receipts and expenditures
for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1925, indicates today that the receipts
will be S3,601, 96S.29 and the expendi-
lures 1884 ,0S3, sos.
This forecasts surplus of receipts
over expenditures for the current ifs
cal year of SGT 1884, 4S9 This estimate
is most significant On the one hand,
we anticipate receiving this year
$500, 100000 less revenue than we had
last year, due principally to the re-
duction in taxes On the other hand.
We must provide STA, 100000 for the
extraordinary increase in expendi-
lures made necessary by the World
war adjusted compensation act. Yet
we are confident that the year will be
closed with surplus of more than
S67,000,000. Our aim should be not
only to conserve this prospective sur
plus, but to add to it."

The S266, $50, 430 decrease in the

COmmendatiOn and Criticism Handed
Out PrOmiscuOusly as Deemed
Just by Our Hired Man
DESERVED COMPLIMENT

Under date of April IL, Walter
Metz. president of the Newark Trust
Co., expresses his appreciation of the
prompt and efficient manner in which
a recent fire at his home was handled
and quickly extinguished by the
Newark fire department:
II take this feeble way of express
ing my appreciation of the manner in
which the fire was handled at our
house today. Both Mrs. Metz and
myself feel grateful for the services
given and the care that the firemen
took with our property"
All of this goes to prove what the
"Hired Man" said few weeks ago
that Newark's fire department was
equaled by few and excelled by no
department in Ohio. It's members are
expert, experienced fire fighters, ever
ready to risk their lives to protect
property Of course it's their duty
and is what they are paid for, yet how
few of US realize the danger to which
they are exposed, and still fewer OF
us think it worth while to thank them
for perhaps preventing a large finan-
cial loss.

Agricultural Situation Must be Relieved Senate

terests and place them in charge Of a
government commission with large
powers.
The bill is based on the fact that
Liverpool prices Of wheat, less the
scost of delivery there, set the price
of wheat in America. The wheat pro-
duction in this country averages $780,
100000 bushels annually. The do
mestic consumption totals 600,000,O00
bushesl, leaving balance of 150,O00p
900 bushels that must be sold
abroad.
The McNary- -Haugen bill would Gre
ate commission, set aside S2OO,OOO,-
900 for it's use, and empower it to
take charge of this export surplus
and sell it in such a way that strong
competition would be lessened, and it
would not be dumped on foreign mar
kets so prices would be unreasonably
affected. The commission will have
the same power over other commodi-
ties that have surplus.
The bill would embark the govern
ment on ventures undreamed of a few
years ago. This is significant, but
more significant is the gingerly man
ner in which it is opposed by those
who hate it most heartedly. They see
congress drifting from old moorings,
but they are silent. They fear to in
crease the number of political bricks
that are coming their way.
In the agricultural states even bus
mess interests favor the bill. They
have forgotten their lifelong pleas Of
"private initiative" and "less govern
ment in business"
This condition should serve as a
lesson to trade unionists, who often
overlook the fact that men who op-
pose them will change their view
points when confronted by strong or
ganizations of labor.

SEX'S CURIOSITY SHOP

William Sex, proprietor of the
Curiosity Shop" 80 Union street,
advertises elsewhere in this issue
what is probably one of the most COM
plete lines of fishing tackle to be
found in town.
The "Hired Man" has perused
Bill's list from start to finish, and
wants to register a kick, as two ar
ticles that the disciples of Izaak Wal
ton in the good old days considered
as indispensable, are conspicuous by
their absence.
First and foremost is the "snake
bite remedy" which has on innumer-
able occasions saved the lives of those
luckless individuals who were victims
of the serpents murderous attack.
Next comes that good old friend, the
pipe and tobacco, to bring solace and
comfort to the waiting angler.
If Bill could and would add these
items to his goodly list of fishermen's
necessities he would materially in
crease his already large list of GUS
toners.

Washington-Farm legislation, now
seriously discussed in congress, is
along the same lines advocated by the
Populists of 80 years ago, and which
brought ridicule and scorn from the
best minds of those days.
But there is no ridicule now. This
is presidential year, and northwest
states and those along the Mississippi
river are fermenting with revolt and
threaten to leap over political boun-
daries.
Control of both branches of con-
gress and the White House are at
stake, and the situation calls for the
most tactful handling to keep the
farmer in line. This revolt has eX-
listed before, but never so extensive,
and never were the people so distrust-
full Of the old school politician.
Under the circumstances the elder
statesmen can not resort to old meth
ods. They can not challenge the pa
triotism of these citizens, nor can
they abuse them. Instead, they are
giving serious consideration to some
of the most revolutionary proposals
ever presented to the senate.
The cry of "less government in
business" has been forgotten, and
even from the White House come rec
concentrations that the government
loan money to wheat growers that
they may purchase live stock and 9th
er equipment for diversified farming.
This is what "Sockless jerry Simp-
son Of Kansas advocated three de-
cades ago.
Of more far-reaching effect, how
ever, is the McNary-Haugen bill,
which has been favorably reported by
the senate committee on agriculture.
This bill would take the exporting of
wheat and other exportable commodi-
ties out of the hands of private in
