PRESIDENT COOLIDGE
(Continued From Page one

surplus of $252,54O,OOO is now before
the congress. The action so far
taken by the congress on that budget
indicates no intention of diminishing
the expected surplus. With con-
tinuation of the efforts Tor economy
in federal operations we can have
moderate reduction in taxes and
at the same time adequately meet
the urgent national problems which
are now confronting us.
'Past economy has given us the
means for internal improvements and
Developments and more adequate ma
tional defense. But we cannot stand
the cost of the things which we
should and must have, if we adopt
excessive tax reduction. 1t is tat
better to have no tax reduction than
tc have too much. We have the
public debt to which to apply every
dollar of whatever surplus may
accrue. That, indirectly, is tax re-
duction. Every dollar applied to the
debt saves perpetually the interest
on that dollar. 1t is a contribution
to the welfare of the people, a
logical step nearer adequate tax re-
duction."
That it is much easier to borrow
money than to pay it, Mr.. Coolidge
said, is shown by the fact that the
national debt was increased from
slightly over $1,2sO,0O0,OOO to nearly
$26, 6,6OO,OOO,OOO from 1917 to 1919

proximately $25,OOO,OOO,OOO in about

Colonel Roosevelt charged there was a
"Saturnalia Of extravaganza, debt, ex-
pense, taxes mounted without let or
hindrance. Every period of demo-
cratic control has had period of de-
preston"
In their foreign policy the demo-
Gratis ''endeavored to deliver our coun-
try ss a bond slave to foreign diplo-
macy
But the gravest of his charges
against the opposing party he said,
was the impending candidacy of Gov
ernor Smith.
ITO you in the west Tammany Hall
may mean little" he said. ITO us in
New York it means much. For years
that greet sinister political machine
has held New York City in its grasp.
It's slogan has been and is Patronage
and Plumber From Tweed to the
present day the dynasty of bosses
have fattened at the expense of the
public"
Colonel Roosevelt repeated charges
that sTammany politicians had a
hand several years ago in the sale OF
diluted milk for babies in New York
City and that "the graft went url-
checked until public clamor just be-
fore election forced the democrats
hands"
Further, he laid at the door of Tam
many Hall the alleged waste OF mil
lions of dollars in the construction OF
school buildings and graft by MIL
lions in connection with sewer build
ing in the Borough of Queens.
"Do we wish this organization IN
the White House beneath the shadow
of Washington's fnonument?" he de-
manded.
Summing the work Of the republi-
can administrations since 1921, Colonel
Roosevelt said:
"It is a record of solid accomplish
ment of which we may well be proud.
we have made our mistakes and some
Of our actions have been la-advlsed.
A few of our appointees have been
incompetent or corrupt, but our aver

than that they shall judge our ad-
ninistrative ability by the record OF

posals, which finally we're defeated,
that both the craftsmanship of the
governing board and the director gen.
eralShip, of the union should be ro-
tated annually in alphabetical order,
allowing each country to occupy these
posts in turn.
After the almost unanimous rejec-
ton Of the principle of rotating the
craftsmanship of the board, the Mex
lean delegate withdrew his amendment
extending the same principle to the
director generalship, saying that he
would refer his suggestion to the
seventh Pan American conference. He
lamented the course taken by the
committee, which, he said, appeared
10 be stopping the process Of demo
cratizing'' the Pan American union
at the start.
Mr.. Hughes opposed the Mexican
proposals on the ground that they
would amount to artificial reStric-
tions," which were contrary to the
democratic spirit that all apparently
were desirious of seeing firmly es-
tablished in the Pan American union.
Democracy resting upon equality, '
said Mr.. Hughes, demands freedom,
not unnecessary restrictions. Equality,
that is of Importance, is the right to
speak for the cause you have at heart,
to vote for what you think is right, TO
further an organization that you be-
lieve is important. This would be re-
stricted if election of the chairman oil
the board were abolished"
Judge Urbina asserted that Mexico
insisted on the amendments because
these were backed by the whole Mex
ican people, who were determined 70
the utmost intransigeance in the mat
ter of the principles of democracy.
Rotation of the. chairmanship Of the
board, he urged, was merely natural
sequence to the democratizing of the
union.a step which already had been
taken in allowing special representa-
ton to that body. His proposal was
necessary, because the board was COM
posed not of individuals, but nations.
Argentine, Ecuador, the Dominican
republics and Cuba offered opposition
to the Mexican proposals, and the
committee finally adopted the report
on these phases of the Pan American
union organization which was present.

two years, he said, leaving the debt
at approximately $180OOOOO, 900. Since
the declaration of war in 1917, he
pointed out more than $17,000,000, 900
has been paid in interest and prin-
cipal.
1--WE cannot overestimate the i'm
portance of the reduction which has
been made in our debt" Mr. Coolidge
added. "Our interest cost is still a
great burden. This cost for next
year, however, will be $1,0O0,O0O a
day less than it was at the peak
of our interest charges"
operations is here to stay, Mr. Cool
idge declared that by economy, he
meant constructive economy that
provided ample appropriations for
necessary expenditures. A large
source of expense, he asserted, is for
national defense.
s'The cost. of this for next year is
estimated at approximately $650;000,-
O00," the president continued. "That
means an average expenditure of
1928 for every minute or $2050 for
every second of the year. The army
program contemplates an expenditure
in excess of $1O0,0OO,OO0 and con-
struction program for the navy is
now receiving the consideration of
the congress.
"The authorization of 1916 was the
last complete navy program and that
has been practically completed. The
recommendation now before the
congress to replace obsolete naval
vessels and moderately increase our
naval strength contemplates an
orderly construction procedure; Moth
ing more"
President Coolidge closed his re-
marks with a tribute to Director
Lord, of the budget bureau, who he
said had. the Judgment to say yes
when the facts warranted and the
courage to say no when the facts
warranted"
Following the president, Director
Lord declared that while there will
be no slackening in the effort for
economy, there is an irreducile
minimum of expenditure below which
the government can not go.
1--WE may possibly have reached
that terminal" he director added
"The country grows and develops.
The bigger the country the bigger the
operating costs. But as long as there

JUNIOR MUSIC
CLUB MEMBERS
SCORE BIG HIT

A music recital so delightful that its
brevity was regretted by those in at
tendance was presented at the Parish
House last evening by the Junior
Music club, branch of the Douglas
Music club.
After Mrs. E. c. Piper, president of
the club, he'd spoken interestingly OF
the Douglas Music clubs constitution
and aims, the Boys Glee club of eight
members sang Tenants IF Winter
Comes" charming all hearers with
their rendering. They responded to
an encore which would not be denied
and were again accorded a hearty
reception.
Charles Fleming, ably accompanied
by his sister Louise, had a pronounced
success in two clarinet solos, Cuba
iand Dearest Heart Waltz" The low
er pitch of the second solo provided
him with fine opportunity of ex-
employing his really splendid tone
and was one of the most enjoyable
items of the program.
Diminutive Jaqueline Ames, whose
proficiency in dancing is well known
in Douglas, charmed her audience in
the "Glow Worm Gavotte," and was
recalled for another number.
| Also recalled was little Constance
Barnes who was the epitome of grace
and vivacity in her Snowflake Dance. /"
She possesses the rare combination OF
efficiency without self-consciousness
and, proved an altogether captivating
J little performer.
Possibly the most pleasing num-
bers Of the evening were the songs
of the Girls Glee club both In the
wistful "Homing' and the character
tistic Negro Lullaby which was given
| as an encore. Mrs. Louise Cashman,
the director is accorded high praise
for the results achieved by both the
boys and girls glee clubs, which evi-
1 dence in no uncertain way the re-
suits of devoted training.
The "Neapolitan Serenade," played
bv Leslie Farber, Lee Bodenhamer,
j Herman Lange, David Farber; Ded-
rich Wilson and Mr.. Lusk was a fit
ting finale to an ambitious and most
successful recital
The officers of the Junior MUSIC
club are the following:

GREAT crises on the western front which
was a large factor in the magnificent
stand of the English army before the
channel ports.
"His military genius was universally
recognized. His American comrades TOO

to which he tirelessly committed NM

armies and assistance for the families
