Watchful Eye on Business

The insistence of Mr.. Coolidge that
Congress take a long recess is point
ed to by his friends as a vaiua Bile
contribution to the stability of bust
ness. Mr.. Coolidge has put the brakes
on many things that might have dis
turbed business. but he has not vet
succeeded in suppressing all the vari-
Gus activities of the congressional in
vestigating committees or the indie
pendent establishments. This NAV
yet prove to be the principal issue OF
the coming congressional campaign,
for while such a policy is popular
with large business interests, 1t fur
nisheS, as a rule, ammunition for the
minority party and insurgents
Generally speaking, Congress and
the Executive have worked together
on revenue legislation and appropria.
ton bills. The era of non-partisan-
ship began with the consideration of
the tax reduction bill. Now that this
is out of the way, the fireworks of
partisan warfare will begin. The
Republican friends of the President
eel he has made an excellent start
rhe Democrats insist that the usual
first year, known as a political
honeymoon" has been in progress,
and that with the slightest unfavor-
able turn in economic conditions their
own bombardment of the administra-
ton will begin to receive attention
from the country.

.UNDERH|LL BLOCKS
INSURANCE REPORT
Delays Committee Action on
BiIIS-Fourteenth Street
Extension Approved.

The House District committee to-
day ordered a favorable report on
the Fourteenth street extension bill
and on the bill to widen First street
between G and Myrtle streets north
east.
A contest between proponents of
the Fitzgerald and Underhill indus
trial insurance bills delayed the com
mittee from acting upon either meas
ure. The subcommittee which re
ported the Fitzgerald bill had ex-
pected to rush this measure through
the full committee, SO as to get it
on the calendar for District day next
Monday. There were 10 out of 2i
members of the District committee
present today, the largest attendance
at any District committee meeting in
more than 10 years.

COOLIDGE WINDS Up
FIRST YEAR ON OWN
Achievements Since Election
Said to Give Executive
Sense of Satisfaction.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

President Coolidge likes to consider
the year ending today as his first year
in office Prior to that time he felt
during his II months of service the
limitations of his predecessor S poll
cieS.
There is significance in this view
point, because it means that Mr.. Cool
idge as President "in his own right"
is ready to be held accountable politi-
cally for his acts of commission and
omission for one year. Some of his
friends emphasize this, because in 1928
they will regard him as having, in a
sense, served a single term, and there
fore eligible to denomination.
Mr.. Coolidge takes pride in his first
year. He feels particularly that the
fiscal side of the Government has been
we'll taken care of, that taxes have
been reduced and Government expen-
ses kept down. Whether the Govern
ment has any direct bearing on the
economic condition of the country at
any time may be a matter of dispute
among economists, but the politicians
of both sides do not hesitate to at
tribute the blame for "rainy days to
an administration in power just as
much as the party in Office insists that
efficiency of the administration in
office.
Delegates Some of Authority.
Perhaps the outstanding feature OF
the Coolidge administration thus far
is the extent to which power has
been delegated to the heads of the
executive departments. This has not
only saved the time and energy of the
Chief Executive, but it has given
| members of the Cabinet a prestige
| relatively greater than that enjoyed
by many of their predecessors, even
under Republican administrations.
Departmental reorganizations have
been carried on during the past year,
and to no small extent this is due to
the introduction of the Budget Bu-
reau into government. More and
more the director of the budget is
| coming to occupy a place second in
| importance only to the President
| himself. Having the close co-opera-
| ton of the Chief Executive, the di-
| rector of the budget points out in
| efficiencies here and there as they
re.ate to the use of public funds, and
this brings to light administrative
defects.
The relationship of President Cool
idge to Congress remains yet to be
defined. Congress has not been in
session long enough during the first
Coolidge year to determine whether
it is Mr.. Coolidge's leadership or a
recognition by the Senate and House
of their responsibilities which is car
rying forward the program of legis-
lation. Certainly Mr.. Coolidge has in
| Congress now sympathetic leaders,
men who do not hesitate to keep him
advised. men who do not fail to tell
their colleagues that they must fol-
low the Presidents recommendations
! If they are to be aided next Autumn
by the political prestige.

THE OAKLAND CAR
STILL IN DEMAND

Car number 100000 in the famous
G.54 series of the Oakland six was
turned out on February Is at the
Oakland factories, Pontiac, Mich.
When this car left the line, the
total production of Oakland auto
mobiles had reached approximately
100000. Incidentally, the same day
the l00,000th ear of the 6-j4 series
was turned out, the total days pro
duction was 433 cars--thc largest
in the history of the company. The
record was short lived, however, as
each succeeding day is establishing
new high marks for Oakland Pontiac
production.
During the first year of opera
tion of the company 1908, Il total
of 735 ears were turned out less
than 800 in excess of a typical day $
production at the present time.
Since the bringing out of the 6.5+
series, the Oakland company has had
its greatest growth. Each succeed.
ing years output has been greater
than the previous year. The famous
"Truc Blue Travellers the first
of the 6-5J series ears, left the fac
tories September 8, 1928, for all Sc
tions of the country, where public
demonstrations of the new ear were
given, particularly to show the value
of the four wheel brakes, pioneered
by Oakland nearly three years ago.
The popularity of the 6-54 series
is proven by the fact that it has re.
manned unchanged since it was first
introduced, with the exception of
certain refincments, such as balloon
tires and the Fisher one piece wind,
shield on closed models. The Ian.
dau sedan and coach were added to
! the line in the latter part of 1924.
