Caluin Coolidge Is Choice
 Of People, Says Mondell
Declared Worthy Success or To Other Republican
 Standard Bearers

WASHINGTON, Aug. IA. As spokesman of the Cleveland convention Frank W. Mondell tonight formally no. tified President Coolidge that his SC. lection for the presidency had resulted from ''the choice of the people, freely and emphatically expressed"
 The nominating convention, Mir Mondell declared, was only "ratifi- cation" meeting, and he predicted that the will of the individual voters again would be recorded emphatically in No vember in favor of MT. Coolidge's re tention in the White House.
 "You are given your commission of leadership" he said, under conditions that left no wounds to heal or differ ences to compromise, that held no taint of self-seeking or of questionable in- dorsement and support.
 "The platform adopted at Cleveland by practically unanimous vote, in frank and courageous fashion declared the party faith and outlines the party pur- pose, and we anticipate with pleasure and confidence your interpretation of that faith and purpose as applied to present problems and conditions"
 In his short address of notification MT. Mondell omitted all detailed dis cuSsion of campaign issues. He touch ed but briefly on the historic antece- dents of the party, paid a tribute to the republican standard bearers of the past, and assured the President that we recognize in you worthy success

l am opposed to excess-profits taxes and high. surtaxes. When the revenue bill of 1921 was passed, abolishing ex- cess profits and greatly reducing high surtaxes, it was immediately followed by revival in business and an increase in the number of large incomes, so that the government received nearly $100,- 0O0,OOO more in taxes from those hav- ing incomes of over $100,000 than under the higher rates of the previous year. But rates were still too high, and all kinds of business began to pause; agriculture especially felt their indirect adverse effects. A new tax bill was passed this spring carrying still further reductions, an under its apparent, influence there seems to be the beginnings of another increase of prosperity. Good business is worth more to the small income taxpayer than a considerable percentage of tax re- duction.
 Only about 3,5O0.OO0 people van di- rect income taxes. The remainder pay. but pay indirectly, in the cost of aIi purchases, from a pair of shoes to n railroad ticket This country has at least 107, 100000 of these indirect *ax- payers. am not disturbed about the effect on a few thousand people with large incomes because they have to pay. high surtaxes. They can take care of themselves, whatever happens, as the rich always can. What concerns me is the indirect effect of high surtaxes on all the rest of the people. Let us al- ways remember the poor. Whatever cry the demagogue may make about his ability to tax the rich. at the end of the year it will always be found that the people as whole have paid the taxes. We should, therefore, have a system of taxation under which the people as whole ace most. likely to be prosperous. Our country will be better off if, disregaFling those who appeal 10 jealousy and envy, it follows in taxation and all else the. straight path of justice. ..~.# ,4
 Economy should be practiced
 scrupul0usly in the conduct of na-
 tiOnaI campaign. I know it is diff
 ficult to distinguish between real
 service to the people and mere waste
 fulneSS. Costs have increased by
 doubling of the electorate, rendering
 close calculation impossible.
 Nevertheless, can perceive no req son why the budged system should not he beneficial in campaign, as it has proved to be in government. It is to be tested by our committec. L
 There should sbe no relaxing of re- solute endeavors to keep our elections clean, honest and free from taint of any kind. Only the closet scrutiny of both the sources of contributions and the character of expenditures can &C., complish this, laudable purpose. For the first time, this has been provided for the coming campaign through the ap- pointment of a competent Senate com mittee vested with ample authority. The republican national chairman has al- ready volunteered to file sworn reports of both income and outgo, in full de- tail, at such regular intervals as the

committee may deem serviceable and practicable. l-,,..
 The statutes provide for publication of the names of contributors and of amounts contributed. But deficit at the end of campaign in part, defeats this. The budget; will cure that defect, So far as the republican party is con cerned, l have made. an absolute re- qu1rement that our committee shall live within its means. I hope it will have n surplus on election day, but it must not have deficit.
 I wOpld mako clearly and def
 initely one other requirement.. that
 no individual, or group of individ-
 uais, may expect any governmental
 IayOfs in return for party assistance.
 Whatever anyone gives must be given for the common good, or not
 at all. Contributions can be re.
 ceived on no other basis.
 For the first time, after having on. portunity fully to organize, the women of the nation are bringing. the new froce which they represent directly to bear on our political affairs. [ know that the influence of womanhood will guard the home, which is the citadel of the nation. I know it will be a pro tector of childhood. know it will be on the side of humanity. I welcome it as great instrument of mercy and n mighty agency of peace. I want every woman to. vote.
 Fundamental Institutions
 While we are discussing some of the problems of the day, some of the changes we propose to meet temporary con ditions, it is also well to remember that 1t is equally necessary to support our fundamental institutions. We be- lieve in our method of constitu- tional government and the integrity of the legislative, judicial, and executive departments. We believe that our liber- ties and our rights arc best preserved, not through political, but through iudg icial action. The constitution is the sole source and guaranty of national freedom. We believe that the safest place to declare and interpret the Con- stitution which the people have made is in the supreme court of the United States.
 We believe the people of the nation should continue to own the property and transact the business of the na- tion. We harbor no delusions about securing perfection. We know that .AonAAHu As AAHACet anu VIII couL1nue uO be under any system. But that system is best which gives the individual the largest freedom of action, and the largest opportunity for honorable ac- complishment. Such system does not tend to the concentration of wealth but to the diffusion of wealth. Under our institutions there is no limitation on the aspirations a mother may have for her children. That system I pray to continue. This country would not be land of Oportunity, America would not he America, if the people were shaekled with government monopolies.
 Under our institutions success
 is the rule and failure is the7excep- tiOn. We have no better example

NEW MILK SOURCE
FOR D. C. OPENED UP
New York State Concern Files Ap-
rlication to Ship-0utput Would
Total 5000 Gallons.

A new source of milk supply for
Washington was opened up today
when the Merrell-Soule Company of
New York state filed fifty-seven dairy
farm applications with Health officer
Fowler.
The farms represent 1,122 cows and
it was estimated by the health de-
partment that they would probably
produce 1900 gallons of milk per
day
Whether the company plans to ship
the entire output of these farms to
Washington was not known today.
At the present time Washington s
milk supply, consisting of approx
imately $4,000 gallons a day, comes
almost entirely from Maryland and
Virginia.
Several months ago. when a milk
price dispute was in progress between
the local distributors and the Mary
land and Virginia producers, there
was considerable talk of milk
brought from more distant states
This is the first indication Of that
fact.
DR. Fowler said that each applica-
tion from the Merrell-Soule Company
was accompanied by a chart showing
the cattle had been given the tuber-
culin test, as required by the local
health office.
In view of this fact, DIR. Fowler ex-
planned that the company could be-
gin shipping milk Immediately until
inspectors are able to visit the farms
and finally pass on the application.
