CHIEF PLEDGES
LIGHTER TAXES;
PEACE PROGRAM
Dividing Time Between
Home, Abroad, Presi-
deent Recites Achieve
ments and Aspirations

WASHINGTON, March 4.-Clothed
with direct mandate from the people.
Calvin Coolidge today dedicated himself
ard his administration to the tightening
of the tax burden at home and to the
prom otion of peace through mutual
understandings with the nations of the
world.
These two purposes were outlined in
high relief by Mr.. Coolidge in his inaug-
ural address, delivered from simply
decorated stand at the east entrance
of the capitol just after he had taken
his second oath of office as president
of the United States.
Dividing his attention almost equally
between affairs at home and problems
abroad, and between things accomplish
ed and achievements hoped for, Mr.
Coolidge spoke with assurance as to the
future, declaring that because Of action
already taken, an era of prosperity lay
ahead and firmer courage and high
er hope inspired the heart Of all hu-
manity.
We have been. and propose to be,
more and more American" he declared
If we have any heritage, it has been
that If we have any destiny we have
found it in that direction"
Accord with this purpose, he asserted,
demands the conduct of government
along certain definite lines
These lines in the field Of domestic
affairs point, first, to the exercise of
greater economy in public expenditure
with reduction and reform Of taxation. =
FavOrs Economy
| favor the policy Of economy, not

cause | wish to save people," he con-
tinued. The men and women Of this
country who toll are the ones who bear
the cost of government. Every dollar
that we carelessly waste means that
their life will be so much the more
meager. Every dollar that we prudently
save means that their life will be SO
much more abundant"
The practice of such economy, he de-
clared, has brought the time when there
can be further tax reduction and when

last August. and the first celery be-
gan to mature the latter part Of Dec
ember.
According to Mr.. Hipp, the nine
acres yielded 5000 dozen stalks of
celery to the acre. and the price re
ceived has run from $4,000 to $2500
per acre. Much of the celery planted
on that tract of nine acres has al
ready been cut and sold.
The celery is bleached with cypress
boards. 1t is planted in double rows.
Seedbeds are first planted out, and
the plants are transplanted. 1t ap-
pears that the December freeze was
not severe enough to damage the
experimental plot.
"The experiment at Mercedes has
demonstrated unquestionably that
celery can be grown profitably in the
Lower Rio Grande Valley" Mr.. Hipp
said, his statement being based on the
information he had obtained from
the Texas Producers Union. "How-
ever" he continued, cit must gbe
handled by someone experienced in
celery production. 1t is doubtful if
the average farmer, without expert
ence, could grow it profitably."

. The president took the oath
of office precisely at l p. m.
o'clock. Vice President Dawes
had taken the oath at 12:14
p. m.
Despite the presidents firm stand for
a lack of expensive display, which had
reduced the ceremony to the last degree
of simplicity, it still was marked con
trast from the midnight moment of 19
months ago, when reused from sleep
by the news of President Harding's sud
den death, he took the same oath by the
glow Of an oil lamp in his fathers Yer
mont farmhouse.
Father Present
The presidents father, Colonel John
Coolidge, stood near him today, and
gathered close by were Mrs. Coolidge
with her mother, Mrs. Goodhue; mem
bers of the cabinet, the supreme court
ranking officers Of the army and navy,
members of the diplomatic corps and
members of the congressional committee
in charge Of the inaugural arrange
ments.
When the president spoke the words
of his inaugural address he had the ear
of the greatest audience ever addressed
by enc man insthe history of time. Not
only the thousands gathered before him
on the capitol plaza were enabled to
hear him, with: the air of amplifying de-
vices, but throughout the country mill
ions heard the address, the music Of the
Marine Band and the progress of the
entire ceremony, by great radio hook
up which covered stations all over the
United States.
Pennsylvania avenue, historic route
of many pageants of war and peace, con-
tanned a smaller audience today than it
had at any other inaugural within the
memory Of old time observers. Modest
decorations and a much reduced pro-
gram for the inaugural procession-all
due to the presidents insistence on
economy, had reduced the attraction Of
the inaugural as magnet for crowds.
Returning to the White House along
the avenue, the president, Mrs. Coolidge
and General Dawes. were given a CON
tinuous ovation.
The head Of the parade swung around
to the left across the plaza when it
entered the capitol grounds and had
not yet reached Pennsylvania avenue
at the foot Of capitol hill when the
presidential party reached the White
House. 1t was 2:06 when the presi-
dents party reached the White House
gate.
at :42 p. m. and his concluding words
were left tossing on tumultous waves
of applause as he turned to receive the
handshakes Of those about him.
