Text of Speech.
The Presidents speech in full fol-
lows:
There are certain particular rea-
sons why l have been glad to avail
myself of the opportunity afforded by
your presence here today to make
some remarks to the members of this
association. The Importance of con-
struction among the country's indus
tries hardly needs any testimony. A
recent analysis reached the conclu-
sion that the national income in 1924
was $50, 500, 900 900, of which approx
mately $4,000. .000, 900 was expended
for construction. That Is over IL per
cent of the income. Constructions OF
one kind and another largely repre-
sent the accumulated wealth of a
community, and it is, therefore, i'm
portant that they be erected at the
lowest feasible expense consistent
with a high standard of permanencc
and usefulness.
During the war, owing to more
insistent demands upon producing ca
pacity, construction was neglected
and an enormous construction deficit
resulted The necessity of restoring
the balance was realized when peace
returned. and we have had an era
of high construction activity in re-
cent years.
Importance Emphasized.
"At the unemployment conference
called by President Harding and held
here in Washington in 1921 the i'm
portance of construction as balance
wheel in the industrial scheme was
strongly emphasized. The sugges-
tion of course. was not new. The
| idea of utilizing construction, par
ticularly of public works, as sta

There is little chance of the author

thought, and the chances of his con-
Viction are considered slight, be-
cause the law under which he is be-

all the laws relating to the press
were being revised, and was bitterly
opposed at the time by many of the
leading statesmen, including ex-

LIQUOR THUGGERY EMPHA.
SIZED

Conditions that once existed per-
mitted men to deal in intoxicating
liquor without losing the respect OF
their fellows or of themselves. Those
conditions, considered by and large,
no longer obtain. This fact is being
frequently emphasized by acts OF
thuggery and by wanton murder.
An instance is the shooting of an
Iowa woman this week. She was
engaged in bringing offenders
against the liquor law to justice.
She was shot and killed while sit
ting in her home, shot through the
window by a cowardly assassin
presumably by one that objected to
her efforts for law enforcement.
The Governor of Iowa has offered
a reward of $500 for apprehension
of the slayer. The State of Iowa
must be feeling quite poor, judging
from the smallness of such reward
for solution of a crime of that big
ness. At the time she was killed
she was writing this:
"A very grave crisis Is racing
American ideals today when traitors
in our midst are seeking to UNDER
mine our constitution and trying 10
make ridiculous the greatest nag IN
the world, the flag that has for Its
motto liberty is respect for law.
It would seem quite important
that her murderer should be brought
to so much Of justice as the State OF
Iowa is able to dispense.
