PRESIDENT SIGNS
MEASURE RAISING
PAY FOR CONGRESS
AffixeS Signature at Last
Moment After Suspense
for Beneficiaries.

President Coolidge today signed the
legislative appropriation bill, carry
ing increased salaries for members OF
Congress. the cabinet and the Vice
President
The measure was the last signed by
the President today at his room at
the Capitol. where ne had gone TO
take the oath of office.
Mr.. Coolidge took up his pen with
great deliberation and signed his
name to the measure.
After signing a large batch OF other
bills, the President sat back from the
table and conferred for some time
with Budget Director Lord on the
bill
Cause of Speculation.
The bill had been at the White
House for several days and there had
been much speculation over the
Presidents attitude toward 1t. He re-
Trained from approving it when he
went over the bills at the Executive
offices early today and 1t went to the
Capitol with him.
Under the measure. members of the
House and Senate will receive SlO,-
600 year instead of $500, and the
Vice President, members of the cab
met and the Speaker of the House
will receive $4,000, instead of $12,5oo.
stirred Great Interest.
Probably next to the Inauguration
itself. there was nothing arousins g
more interest among the members of
Congress- and friends and attaches
at the Capitol than the outcome of
this legislation. While the feeling
was general that because of the little
time remaining the President
would not veto this bill, inasmuch as
he had given no indication yesterday
or this morning or even when he ar
rived at the Capitol of what he in
tended to do, there was feeling akin
to alarm as the time passed.
The President had been at the
Capitol for nearly an hour before he
signed the bill. With him at the time
were Senator Curtis, Republican
leader of the Senate. who had, as
chairman Of the joint inaugural COM
mittee, ridden to the Capitol with the
President and Mrs. Coolidge and
Brig. Gen. Lord, director of the
budget. He read carefully a number
of papers on his desk, and when he
legislative appropriation bill no one
who saw him could have guessed
what he was thinking.
Intimates of the Executive had no
hesitancy in representing President
Coolidge as being not especially
enthusiastic over that part OF the pill
that provided the increased salaries,
not that he questioned the merit but
because he considered 1t somewhat
inconsistent with his establishe d
program Of governmental economy.

Thousands Present at Ceremony.
However hard those in charge of
the inaugural ceremony may have
tried to keep the program within the
bounds of the most modest simplicity,
no restraint could stay the enthu-
siasm with which the throngs hailed
their new chief. Solid banks of hu-
manity radiated from the east steps
Of the Capitol as far in every direc-
tion as modern invention could throw
the human voice, and there were thou
sands more who were content to see
from a distance, even though they
could not hear.
The President stood upon a raised
platform in the center of the official
congressional stand. He was at
tended by Vice President Dawes, who
had taken his oath Of Office short
time before in the Senate chamber.
Nearby were Mrs. Coolidge, Mrs.
Dawes, members of the Presidents
family and the cabinet. Seated else
where in the huge stand were more
than 5000 men and women represent
ing. the official life of the Federal
Government and the several States
Taft Adm inisters Oath.
Chief Justice Taft administered the
oath OF office, and II marked the first
time a former President ever swore
in a new administration in this coun-
try. AS President Coolidge slowly re-
peated the few words of that pledge
his right hand once more rested upon
the same Bible that had served the
same important purpose upon the oc-
casion of his hurried induction back
In August, 1928.
Seldom in recent years has an in
auEuration ceremony been favored
with more auspicious weather
warm sun tempered the chill air of
sarly morning and southerly zephyrs
shook out lazily the bright flags and
banners that topped public buildings
or banked the sides of the line of
march Nature seemed TO be vieing
with the inaugural committee in en-
deavoring to make today's inaugura-
tion one long to be remembered

President as he arose at his Gus
