sccondar, place among the naval
powers Of the world"
Mr.. Cooli> ge clared that agri-
culture as a w..ole is in better cir
cumstances than some divisions cf
industry.
IF we do not permit selfishness to
prevail" he added, IF we do not
all undertak, to make all the money
there is in the country in one year,
but are wiling. to proceed with mod
GRAFTON, intent on fair dealing, our
economic prosperity should 60 on
indefinitely"
The members rose as Mr.. Cool
idge finished speaking. While they
looked at one another for assurance
that others had head as they did,
the president silently slipped away
to his private quarters.
Butler Refuses to Talk
Chairman Butler Of the commit
tee, close friend Of the president,
who has predic ed OH occasions that
an irresistible draft movement
would claim Mr.. Coolidge, left
tar.lly, chin in his overcoat collar
and hands thrust deep into his
pockets.
Il won't say anything" he num-
bled as he almost climbed into the
wrong automobile in his confusion.
Behind him ran former Senator
Ernst of Kentucky, hprrying to get
Ninto the chairman's automobile.
Ernst found time to shake his head
and snap at persistent reporters:
tits settled. He's out"
Meanwhile the news spread rapid
ly to the capitol where members Of
conG.egs generally construed Mr.
Coolidgc's statement a. definitely
eliminating him from the 1923 pres
idential race. But Senator Tess Of
Ohio, all along the leader of the
doubling Thomascs," stuck to his
guns.
Tess Ideas Unchanged
"The presidents statement SIM
ply means that he does not care to
run. He does not say that he will
not accept the nomination if it is
offered him by convention dead
lock-"
The presidents amplification had
the immediate effect of stimulating
activity for those who have been
mentioned to succeed Mr.. Coolidge
and there were predictions that the
campaigns already launched for
Secretary Hoover, Frank O. Lowdcn,
and others, would soon be accelerat-
cd.
The announced candidates. Of
Curtis of Kansas and Willis of
Ohio came in for discussion as did
the validity Of Speaker Longworth,
Vice President Dawes and Senator
Watson Of Indiana.
The race for the convention had
simmcred down to contest be-
tween San Francisco and Kansas
City as the hour for the balloting
approached, with Detroit more for
midable than ever because of being
in Il position to point the way out
in Gaze the Missouri and Pacific
coast cities came to a deadlock. In
the background were Cleveland,
Chicago and Philadelphia.

Would Cut Federal Aid
The president in his message ac-
companying the budget called for a
curtailment Of federal aid to state
projects, policy which he regards
as hurtful rather. than Helpful to
states.
."As shown in the maternity and
infancy act he said, "When once
the government engages in such an
enterprise it is almost impossible to
terminate it's connection Herewith.
We should not only de idedly re-
fuse to countenance additional fed

A cut of $591, 265 in the prohibition
bureaus allotment for next year is
the result, it was explained, Of
economies in administration and i'll
the reorganization Of tn, bureau,
which resulted ir the transfer Of
some employees to other agencies Of
the government.
The effect Of transfers is felt by
the customs service for which an adj
ditional $1,OO0,0OO was recommend
ed, most Of it for salaries Of men
transferred to patrol Of the borders
to prevent liquor smuggling.
For the coast guard the budget
recommended appropriations total

failure of such receipts to increase"
Receipts from internal revenue to-
tailed $2,S69, 414,342 while income
from customs and other miscellan-
eous sources amounted to $l.259,
98O,099 or all increase Of $780,
SG3,786 over the previous year.
The $3,493,5s4,519 total expendi-
lures of the government for the last
fiscal year, the report said repre-
scented a decrease of $124,0O0,O 900
over the preceding year while re-
ceipts totaled $4.129,394.441, which
left surplus of $635,S09.922. Of
this margin $611,754,536 was ap-
piled to retirement Of the public
debt which was $3.50 ,00O,OO0 more
than was applied to the debt in the
previous year. This left total debt

June 80 of $18,51O,174,266.1O after

Public Debt Takes Half
In an analysis Of the distribution
Of expenditures. the report showed
that payments to the public debt in
the last fiscal year absorbed 51.1
per cent of the total, military func-
tions 31.8 per cent and ordinary
civil functions Ill. Emphasizing
that the cost Of past wars occupies
an iupor pla. in government fl
nance, the secretary estimated that
the world war cost the United States
$35,119, c22,144.
Reiterating his recommendations
for tax legislation as outlined to the
house ways and means committee,
in which he urged limitation Of re-
duction to $225, 100000, Secretary
Mellon further urged congress to re-
move the surtax from government
securities so that corporations and
individual investors would be on .
parity and government securities
would be placed . more even foot
ing with tax exempt states and mu-
nicipal issues. He again requested
cor 4ress to pass the alien property
bill and the amendment e the farm
loan act which were introduced u
the last session.
