FLAY COOL DGE
ECONOMY
IN HUTCHINSO ON

BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
The famous Coolidge economy
was subjected To Democratic
bombardment IN the Senate today
when debate upon an appropria-
ton bill revealed that the admin
istratiOn Of the Government viii
cost the American people $780,
OOO, 900 more in 1927 than it does
this year.
place Blame On Coolidge
This advance Ia the high cost Of
government was blamed upon the
President by Democratic spokesmens
while ministration leaders held
Congress- responsible. The Demo
crats. however, backed up their
attack with statistics showing the
cost of maintaining the White
House had sharply increased under
CooIidge,s Administrations az com
pared to the last year Of woodrow
Wilson's tenure.

echoed Senator Robinson Of ArkaEi-

tered, .'Congress h TO blame.
Supporting his charge that Cool
idge'g Administration Of the White
House Is more expensive than was
that OF President Wilson, Senator
Harrison called attention to the
executive appropriation bill passed
by Congress In the last year Of
A fS.kv tRnra HfNIaftz
measure appropriated $78,5SO for
cIerical employees in the White
House and ST. 900 FOR upkeep Of
the Executive Mansion and grounds.
This year, the same approprfat lions
were $92 ,760 for employees and $11O,-
900 for upkeep, while, in 1927, the
same items will cost $95,26O and
$11O, 200, Harrison announced.
Harrison also declared that WI.
son operated his executive office
on an appropriation OF $4,000 for
stationery, telephones, kilograms,
furniture, automobiles and other
miscellaneous items. The same
items, Harrison said. are costing
$35 900 this year, an increase OF
S. 900, while the amount to be
appropriated for 1927 viii be $751;
500.

1.-THE people are led astray by
CoOlidge's economy claims" said
Harrison. Coolidge economy IL a
myth. He is preaching it abroad
and fails to practice 1t at home.
A casual examination OF the execu-
tive appropriation bills for 1919 and
those of this year or for next year
will convince any one that the
President is not practicing economy
in the White House. The only ex-
cuse for increased expenditures on
clerk hire and telephones is that
this Administration has a lot more
of explaining to do than it's prede.
cessors."
Senator Robinson pointed out
that the independent offices ap-
preparation bill, including the White
House items, totals $512. 00O, 900 for
1927, an increase of $50, 000, 900 over
the same appropriations for this
year. Robinson also called atten-
ton to the 1927 Treasury and Post
office bill. which appropriated $685.
$4,000, an increase Of $105. 900 900
over the same bill for this year.
The Navy bill, he added, appro-
priated $29,00O,0OO more for 1927
than Is being spent this year and
the War Department measure SILL
900, 900 more.

b ROBERT S. THORNBURGH
Men and women who drink
intoxicating liquor, even though
ever so little, are menace to
public safety when at the wheel
Of an automobile, the committee
on Accident Causes Of the Ma
tionaI Safety Conference, declared
today.
drinking as well as drunken
ness leads to accidents the COM
mittee said in an official report.
The universal condemnation
or the intoxicated driver is fully
warranted by the facts.
Defends Women Drivers
sit is less generally recognized,
however, that even small amounts
Of alcohol, quite insufficient to in
toxicate, tend to decrease the high
or forms OF skill and to lesson the
sense of responsibility.
1T is highly probable that alco-
hol has contribute TO many acci-
dents ascribed TO inattentiOn, con-
fusion, recklessness or other causes"
Aspersions on the inability OF
women to drive automobiles, or the
general recklessness of taxicab
drivers are not founded on fact, ac-
cOrding TO the report.
There Is no data at hand as
TO the relative number Of hazards
faced by such groups, and hence
classes OF drivers are misleading. :"
the committee said
Urge Driving Tests
Psychological examinations for
professional drivers, such as oper-
ate fire fighting or police equip
menf, ambulances and public COM
veyanceE. should be required by
law the committee said.
Mental aIertness, quickness and
accuracy of muscular control, and
presence Of mind when confronted
with unexpected difficulty should
be required of the professional
chauffeur.
There Is a special responsibility
On the part OF official agencies
granting licenses to this class Of
drivers to require that the qualtfi-
cations should be particularly high.
the report said.
A special investigation should be
maze TO Qcl6Fu1ne c1aclly what
these qualifications should be.
Fatal collisions Of automobiles
with pedestrians are increasing
more rapidly than accidents invoIv-
ing motorcars alone.
Educate Pedestrian
This Indicates" the report sad,
that drivers have been making
progress in learning what to expect
from other drivers and how to keep
out Of collisions, but that no such
Improvement has been made in
meeting the danger when drivers
and pedestrians confront each
other"
Education for the pedestrian as
Well as the motorist, was recon-.
nended.
A great majority OF automobile
drivers were found to be competent
The report held that most accidents
are due to a small proportion OF ali
motorists. 1t was recommended
that those who repeatedly become
involved in accidents should be
given special examinations.
