Mr. Hillyer Of being in league with
Ino pooticeSoHoj ouuSo NooAoet odiu
in his instructions to the jury. "This
minister also stated that Mr.. Hillyer
was not doing his duty as prosecutor

THE POST SECURES JUDGMENT

Before Justice Rice last Monday the
attachment and garnishment suit of
The Glenwood Post against William
Shepherd of New Castle for $4,000 for
II years subscription to the paper was
decided by Justice Rice in favor of
the plaintiff, the attachment and gar
nishment being sustained.
Shepherd made the old threadbare
plea that he only ordered the paper
for one year and that he didn't want
it longer than that, but he failed to
explain why, if that were the case, he
didn't come in like an honest man and
order his subscription discontinued,
and pay for it up to the date of such
discontinuance.
The law is very plain along this
line, and the court held that the de.
fendant was obligated for the full
amount claimed, and sustained the at
tachment.

constructive economy, to decrease taxes
is to enlarge the reward of every one
who tolls.
ct say to you frankly that except
where specifically authorized by law, 1
will not countenance the incurring of
priaions I am equally frank in saying
to you that I do not look with favor
upon the practice of asking for addi-
tional funds for the year in progress.
These latter requests, commonly known
as supplemental estimates, may be jus
titled occasionally to meet real emer-
gencies or contingencies arising after
the budget has been sent to congress
or to meet obligations authorized by
law. 1t is only in cases such as these
that the chief executive will favorably
consider the transmission to congress Of
supplemental estimates.
"We ale all the servants Of the peo-
Pie of this nation. When congress-,
representing the people, has appropri-
ated funds with which to carry on tho
business of government, we must con-
fine our operations within the limit Of
these funds. We have neither the au-
thority nor the right to incur obliga-
tions beyond such limits. On the other
hand, our plain duty is to make every
possible effort to effect some savings
from these funds.
tI take this occasion to state that
1 have given much thought to the
question of federal subsidies to state
governments. The federal appropria-
tions for such subsidies cover a wide
field. They afford ample precedent for
unlimited expansion. say to you,
however, that the financial program
of the chief executive does not contem-
plate expansion Of these subsidies. My
policy in this matter is not predicated
alone on the drain which these subsi-
dies make on the national treasury.
This Of itself is sufficient cause for
concern.
''I am fearful that this broadening
Of the field Of government activities
is detrimental both to the federal gov
ernment and the state governments.
Efficiency Of federal operations is i'm
paired as their scope is unduly en-
larged. Efficiency Of the state govern
ments is impaired, as they relinquish
and turn over 10 the federal govern
ment responsibilities which are right
fully theirs."

Will Not Tolerate Deficits and Subsid-
les Nor Allow Expenditures to
Exceed Appropriations
REDUCE TAXES WILL BE SLOGAN

The p@nding proposal for reduction
of federal taxes is the fruit of the gov.
ernmental economy campaign inaugur-
ated by President Harding and carried
forward by the present administration,
President Coolidge told federal execu'
tive officers in their semi-annua1 "bus-
mess organization meeting. He in
sisted that the measures of economy be
continued and announced that here
after he would countenance no creation
of deficits by spending agencies of the
government, and that his policy con-
templates no expansion of federal sub
sides 10 state government.
The chief executive, addressing the
officials for the first time as presi-
dent, declared that to employ wasteful
and inefficient methods in administra,
ton of federal affairs was to disregard
the welfare of the nation as a whole.
He urged them, in laying plans for
any governmental activities, to con-
slider the situation from the broad
national view, saying that decisions
made Under such circumstances usually
would bc proper and beneficial.
The president, who, with Director
Lord Of the budget bureau, reviewed
the administration management OF
the government affairs since the
meeting last June, touched only lightly
on tax reduction, pointing merely to
the relationship existing between econ.
omy in federal expenditures and the
resultant decrease in revenues required
He told the thousand or more officials
that to increase the tax burden was to
disregard the general welfare and he
held up tax reduction as the means Of
enlarging "the reward Of every one
who tolls"
Therc can be no deviation from the
economy program, Mr.. Coolidge assert.
ed. and he called upon all spending
agencies Of the government to increase
their efficiency and curb the outgo at
every turn.
"The budget has been a success,
Mr.. Coolidge continued. "You have
demonstrated that there can be and
il, business organization Of the gov
crnment. With the easing Of cond-
tions, tho time is at hand when we
shall decide whether business admin.
istration is to continue or whether our
government is to lapse into the old
unbusinesslike and wastefu1 extrava'
gance.

That the secretary Of the interior be

to gross crop returns for the class to
which It belongs.
That a moratorium in construction
charges be allowed until the above re-

the individual projects.
That all penalties ON delinquent
