GOVT. OWNERSHIP
 STRONGLY OPPOSED
Coolidge, in Phila. Address,
 Argues Against Plan

Philadelphia, Sept. 26.--Proposals or government ownership of rail- roads and other public utilities were denounced here last night by Presi- Ient Coolidge as "uneconomic" and "epcroachments upon our rights"
 Speaking at exercises commence ating the 150th anniversary of the meeting of the first Continental Con- .ress, Mrl Coolidge also renewed his assault on suggestions to limit the power of the supreme court and urged that the people resist en- croachment upon their rights and liberties guaranteed by the constitu- ton.
 If we wish to maintain what our fathers here established" he de- clared I've shall do well to leave the people in the ownership of their property, in control of their govern ment, and under the protection of their courts" .y....
 It Is difficult, the president said, referring to government ownership of railroads, ito reconcile the Ameri- can ideal of sovereign people capable of owning and managing their own government with an in- ability to own and manage their own business" ,.....
 Furthermore, he declared, 1t would mean a loss in public revenue estimated at s6Oo,0O0.000 year with resultant increase in the tax on farmers of from three to forty per cent.

ways wisely administered. While 1t provides some defense against wrongdoing, It's restrictions often hamper development and progress, retard enterprise and when they fall to produce the perfection promised tend to bring the government into discredit. The real fact is that in a republic like ours the people are the government, and if they cannot secure perfection In their own econ- omic life 1t Is altogether improbable that the government can secure 1t for them. The same human nature which presides over private enter. prise must be employed for public action.
 NO doubt there are certain mu- nlcipallties where some public utili- ties have been managed through public ownership with creditable success. But this is very different from proposal that the national government should take over rail- roads and other public utilities. What strain this would be to our economic system will be realized when 1t is remembered that public
 commissions set the value of such utilities at about s35,O00, 900, 900, and that they have about 2,750,000 employees. Such an undertaking would mean about s1,750, 1000, 900 annually in bond interest. and an operating budget estimated at about $9. 900, 100000. These utilities are no longer in the hands of few, de- rectly or indirectly. They are owned by scores of millions of our inhabitants. It would mean loss in public revenue estimated at $600 0,000,00O year. and while in industrial states it might not in. crease the tax on the farmer more than 3 per cent or per cent in
 many agricultural counties it would run as high as 40 per cent When we recall the appalling loss and the difficulty in the management of $500, 100000 worth of ships, we should undoubtedly hesitate about

 Mir. Coolidge devoted most of his address to a discussion of early his- tory of this country and the birth of tho constitution after the organ ization of the first continental coh- gross.
 Referring to the deliberations of this congress. the president asserted that, If we could better understand what they said and did to establish our free institutions. we should be less likely to be misled by the mis- representation and distorted argu- ments of the hour. and be far better equipped to maintain them.'
 He drew lesson from the decla- ratlons of the congress as showing the superiority of moderation and candor over violence and deceit in seeking a solution of difficult public questions"
 The constitution, MT. Coolidge pointed out, Is a dvice for main- taining In perpetulty the rights of the people. with the ultimate ex- tinction of all privileged classes"
 "I have mentioned the desirabil- ity," he continued, flor the people to keep control of their own govern ment and their own property, be- cause l believe that is one of the American ideals of public welfare In harmony with the efforts Of the first continental congress. They objected to small infractions, which would destroy great principles of liberty. Unless we can maintain the integrity of the courts, where the individual can secure his rights, any kind of tyranny may follow. If the people lose control of the ar teries of trade and the natural sources of mechanical power, the standardization of all industry could soon be expected. Our forefathers were alert to resist all encroach- ments upon their rights. If we wish to maintain our rights, we can do no less. Through the breaking down of the power of the courts

With railways and electrical utili- ties under political control. the domination of group would be so firmly intrenched in the whole direction, Of our government that the privilege of citizenship for the rest of the people would consist largely In the payment of taxes. The fathers sought, to escape from any such condition. through the guarantees of our constitution. They put their faith in free. re- public. If we wish to maintain what they established, we shall do well to leave the people in the ownership of their property, in con- trol of their government, and under the protection of their courts. By resolute determination to resist all these encroachments we can best show our reverence and appreciation for the men and the work of the first Continental Congress"
 Declaring 1t significant that the first congress resulted from the voluntary effort on the part of the people to redress their own griev- ances and remedy their own wrongs" MT. Coolidge warned that We pay too little attention to the reserve power Of the people to take care of themselves; we are too so- llcitous for government interven- tion."
 Many Problems Unsolved
 Everyone knows" he added, that our economic problems are very far from being solved, but, we are making constant progress, both in the field of production and dis tribution. When certain abuses arose, we adopted policy of gov ernment regulation and control. l have no doubt that some action of that kind was necessary, and of course such policy would be con- tinued But it has not been, nor can it be hoped that 1t will be. al-

There are two sacred parts to
the ritual of the so-caIled pro

First, we have an insistence
on substituting for the highly
concentrated industrial system
of today a free, competitive
capitalist order of yesterday.
Then, being dominantly a move
ment in the interests of the
middle and lower strata Of the
capital-owning class, it is op-
posed to rule by the working

In practice, however, the latter at.

FOSTER LEAVES

here yesterday evening for the
east, to fill speaking engage
ments in Elizabeth, Newark and
Paterson, New Jersey, on the

Fosters Western tour made a
big hit with the workers and
farmers. Several of the capital
list dailies carried editorials
holding him up to the public
gaze as a menace to American
institutions.
The Okmulgee Daily Democrat was
particularly incensed because Foster
advocated Soviet Republic. 1t said:

date, says our next step will be into a
Soviet-if he don't watch out his will

WORKER with the comment: Il was
just wondering if the Okmulgee Daily
Democrat thought Foster would worry
great deal if he was in Jail. The
workers would stand by him as they
stood by Debs in 1920-before he cast
in his lot with the bourgeois faker,
LaFollette."
| Thousands of silk workers are ex-
pected to attend the Foster meeting
in Paterson, New Jersey, on Saturday,
Sept. 10. This will be Fosters only
appearance in that city during the
campaign. The LaFollette wind-jam-

hold in Paterson, and the workers
are ready for the Communist message.
