INAUGURAL ADDRESS BRINGS
THRILL TO ENTIRE NATION
WEDNESDAY MORNING; PRESI-
DENT OUTLINES POLICY.

Practically everyone in Redwood
Falls and vicinity heard the inaugur-
al address of President Coolidge last
Wednesday morning.
Private radio sets were put into
use from ten o'clock IN the morning
until the final word was spoken and
large crowds heard the entire pro-
gram at the grade school building:
the Stenvad's garage and other
places which had been opened to the
public. The event was an epoch
marker sinca it was the first time
a whole nation had listened to the
words spoken by it's president upon
his assumption of office and under
good conditions practically every word
was heard with distinctness. The ad-
dress was prefaced by a long con-
cert by the Marine band and the
Oath of Office administered by CHIEF
Justice Taft.
President Coolidge's inaugural ad-
dress was typical Calvin Coolidge
message to the people of the United
States. 1t was clear, concise and SC
worded that every citizen of our land
knew just exactly what the Presi
dent meant.
In his address, President Coolidge
voiced the heartfelt wish that the
United States might continue to pros
per, that the lot of each man, woman
and child might be happy one. The
President did not waste any words in
flowery rhetoric. His speech was from
his heart. 1t contained the ute,
ances of a man who genuinely loves
his country. The President voiced
his desire that labor in all its branches
should receive full and adequate re-
turn for it's efforts. He does not be-
lieve that any line of human activi-
ties should receive something for
nothing, but he is emphatic in his be-
lief that labor should be paid just
wage. He believes that the working
woman, as we'll as the working man,
should have at all times equitable
treatment, contending that prosperity,
good wages, amply supplied house
. holds, make for a contented citizenry.
President Coolidge reiterated his
emphatic opposition to the cancella-
tion of any of the foreign debts. Eu-
rope after reading his message, cal;
make no mistake on that score. III
this he maintains the same attitude
that he did in his first message to
congress.
In discussing the World court, the
President expressed the hope that the
nations of the world might arrive at
a conclusion which would make for 4
universal and lasting peace.
World peace, he says, must come
from the heart and while world courts
parleys and other gatherings may be
OF advantage in securing the sdeSTed
result the prime factor is the attitude
of the people of the world them
selves President Coolidge is not in
favor of any entangling alliances nor
of our surrendering in the slightes,
manner, the rights that we have en-
joyed for years.
Touching upon the matter OF for
eign relations, the President eX-
pressed the desirability of the United
States not only maintaining but ex-
tending relations with the peoples OF
the world There is no doubt that ne
believes that amicable commercial re-
lations will do much to bring about
better political feelings between the
countries of the world.
Calvin Coolidge drove home the i'm
portance of the saving of the tax
payers money. He believes that ev-
cry dollar saved in the matter of
taxes will add to the comfort of the
men, women and children of the ma
ton. The program for the curtail-
ing of government extravaganza will
continue, if the next congress gives
him the support he desires and the
support it should In the matter
of tax reduction, he expressed the
thought that it might be possible to
further reduce the income and nuis-
ance taxes for 1925. This result he
makes clear can be accomplished by
