And you back that wish with your strength and blood,

 He predicted there would be sur plus in the treasury of two hundred million dollars at the end of the ifs cal year, June 30, and two hundred and ninety million dollars at the end of the coming fiscal year,
 President Coolidge said it was i'm probable that government expenses would be cut below three billion an nually for several years, and he es- timated the outlay for the current ifs cal year would total three billion, thirty-five million, exclusive of money applied on the reduction of the pub lie debt and operation of the postal service.

 He reviewed operations of the bud get for the past four years, and said expenditures in 1921 totalled five bill lion, one hundred and sixteen million, which had been reduced by two bill lion, eighty-one million dollars, be- sides having three billion, four hu2- dred and twenty-six million Topped from the public debt. Interest to- tailed one billion in 1921, against only eight hundred and seventy million this year.
 "If we could confine our federal ex- pend1tures to legitimate obligations and functions of the federal govern ment, material reduction would be apparent" said the President.
 He said, back of a tireless. persis, tent and drastic campaign for con- structive economy in federal expendi- lures, has been the relief of the peo- pie of this nation of the great burden of taxation. So far tax reductions have been successful, but the reduc- tion hasn't reached a point where taxes have ceased to be a burden"
