PRODUCTION by me of a resolution in the

adopt a resolution with reference to the
question of the issuance Of pardons by
the governor and the criticism connect
ed Herewith. Ferguson referred to my
having introduced resolution in the
bar association with reference to the is
suance of pardons by the governor OF
this state. With that coarseness which
is characteristic Of Ferguson he refers
contemptuously to the fact that | was a
candidate for chief justice of the SUI
preme court and he uses the following
language: He is the same feller who

COOLIDGE SEEKS
AID FOR man OF
SMALL INCOME
Belief That Reduction of
Tax on Big Business
Would M a k e Good
jobs Is Expressed
fBv The Associated Prcss.)

fbV | ne ASSDcldted frcSs.D
SWAMPSCOTT, Mass, July 8-As h
watches long range preparations of gov
ernment officials for another slash in
taxes President Colidge is keeping in
mind the man with a family and Q
small income as well as business gen
orally To him the prosperity Of both
are intertwined.
The president believes that a drastic
cut in surtaxes not only would result
in increased government revenue
through a consequent stimulation of
business, but would benefit the small
tax payer by insuring him steady en-
ployment.
Mr. Coolidge holds to the view that
holders of large incomes are concerned
more with avoiding high taxes by pro
lection through investments in tax ex-
empt securities than in attempting to
increase their fortunes through regular
business.
On the other hand, he believes that
the far seeing man with a family, hav-
ing an income of $4,000 or under. would
not favor sharp cut in his own taxes
if it might injure the business on which
he is dependent for employment. HI
would prefer, the president states, to
have less relief so far as his own taxes
90 and have a plan worked out that
would insure hm a steady job with op'
portunity for increasing his income.
While MI Coolidge appears to be
giving the tax problem more thought
than any confronting the administra-
ton, he is leaving preparation Of reduc-
ton plans to treasury officials and the
responsible congressional committee
Since coming to the seashore he has re-
ceived no official advices as to the gov
ernment surplus for the fiscal year end
ing June 80. which appears to be in the
neighborhod of $245, 100000. or any word
as to what the treasury believes should
be done in the way of reduction.
