that Robert Scott had come to him

COOLIDGE HIT 5
BLOW At D. {.
PRIDE
President Opposed to Keeping
Capital in Spotlight
Before Nation

Should Washington with its
Governmental activities loom larger
and. larger in the eyes Of the
nation, or should 1t be played
down, become negative, inactive,
and more or less inconsequential?
President Coolidge in a White
House conference yesterday evolved
the theory that the less the people
of the nation hear Of Washington
the better for them.
In other words, he thinks Wash
ington should be merely a geo.
graphical expression during periods
when the country is prosperous and
everybody is 'mindin' his busi-
ness
1t may be blow to the pride of
the Capital that the President does
not want to advertise 1t more. but
actually give 1t less publicity, before
the public. But that Is the goal
he Is aiming at.
President Coolidge thinks that
Washington Is chiefly on the map
when the legislative pot is boiling
over and business everywhere is
tearsome over the prospective that
new and drastic laws may be pass
ed which will ruin prosperity.
He wants to keep Congress an
inactive and non-erupting volcano,
and gets the peoples minds off the
Idea that they have Government
functoning in Washington
That may be a fine idea for the
country, but 1t doesn't impress
Washingtonians to any extent, es.
pecially those Washingtonians who
have watched the city grow in
size, importance, beauty, and in
fluence In the past ten years. They
want to put the Capitol more and
more before the American public,
and they dissent strongly from the
Presidential philosophy.

sion was said to be considering. =
Howard Duckett, chairman Of the
commission, has issued q state
Iment denying that the commission
contemplates any such legislation.
Mr.. Duckett's statement made to
the HyattsviIIe Independent, says:
'.I have discussed the matter per-
sonaIly with q number Of people
along the lines rof developing this
territory from the standpoint 0e
fire protection so that eventually
regularly maintained fire depart
ments with paid employees could be
established under the jurisdiction Of
either the commission or of some
separate body or of the county com
missioners Their number, location
or equipment would naturally be
matter for future consideration.
I'VE all agree that the volunteer
system at this time is unusually
efficient and is doing splendid work,
but think even the least cQnsidera-
ton of the matter would necessarily
lead to the conclusion that within
the next five or ten years the
present system would have to be
merged or taken over by a regular
" established and maiptained city
department. My only hope was
that in a spirit OF cooperation
something could be worked out by
which the volunteer organizations
could continue to function efficaent.
" until that time, but with the
idea that their development would
be toward rather than away from
a paid department.
