To the president the ceremonies were
just part OF the days work. He was
up early, stepped out of the white
house for a Whit of the March air
and with his family and guests sat
down to a breakfast Of buckwheat
cakes and Vermont maple syrup. Then
he went to his desk to dispose of rou-
tine business.
President and Mrs. Coolidge and
Senator Curtis rode in the first car
in the procession from the white
house to the capitol. The president
wore black overcoat over his cvt-
away and silk hat. Mrs. Coolidge was
dressed in gray. In the second Car
were Charles G. Dawes, vice presi-
dent-elect, and Mrs. Dawes and other
members Of the official party. Gen.
eral Dawes had slowed his famous
pipe in his pocket.
The president acknowledged the
cheers Of the crowd by repeatedly
touching his hat while General Dawes
lifted his with characteristic vigor.
Bowling his head over his mothers
Bible, the president took the oath of
office, administered by Chief Justice
Taft ard kissed the Bible. His father,
Col. John Coolidge, Mrs. Coolidge and
her mother, Mrs. Goodhue. were
nearby. Colonel Coolidge, 70 years
old, made part of the journey from
his home at Plymouth, VT, by lac-~~c
and buggy.
While the presidents ban on pomp
had reduced the sic of the inaugural
crowds, the solemn ceremony was car
ried by radio to millions of citizens
in all parts Of the country. It was the
first nationwide broadcast of an in
auguration.
Dawes startled the senate immedi-
ately after his Inauguration when ;ae
launched an attack on time honored
senate rules, particularly that which
permits one man filibuster to hold
up legislation indefinitely.

CALVIN COOLIDGE, 1923-'29

ASSOCIATED Press Feature Writer)
Washington, March 1.-(P)-In the
lamp lighted sitting room Of the YER
mont farmhouse where he was born,
Calvin Coolidge took the oath of
office as President OF the United
States at 2:47 a. m. August, 3, 1923.
Called from his sleep by a message
telling of the death of President
Harding in San Francisco, he dressed
quickly and came down stairs. A trifle
pale but composed he walked with
dignity down the old stairway of his
boyhood days into the sitting room.
Mrs. Coolidge weeping, following him.
His father, distressed at the news
of Harding's death but proud of the
honor that had come to his son, adj
ministered the oath. The new pres
ident stood with right hand appraised
at one side Of little table with Mrs.
Coolidge beside him.
Across the table his father, face
beaming and his voice trembling,
read the few words of the oath: Ito
preserve, protect and defend the con-
stitution of the United States And
the president. usually parsimoniouS
of speech and although the consti-
tuition does not require it, added: $50

Besides Mrs. Coolidge. Representa-
tive Dale of Vermont, two secret serv-
Ice men and q Vermont editor were
The only witnesses of the ceremony.
Five hours afterward, after visiting
his mothers grave, the new presidenc
and his first lady were on their way
to Washington.
Eighteen months later. Calvin
Coolidge was again indicted to the
presidency after election by the larg-
EST popular plurality in history. In
with his edict, the cere-
monies were Of typical Coolidge SIM

as a Democrat, he is opposed to the
theory Of protection but it should be
applied equally IL 1t is to be applied
at all. He said that. unless some-
thing were done to curb the COMPETE
ton Of oleomargarine, the cow would
follow the horse into oblivion.
Fine Answers Opponents
Answering the claim that the bill
would not be effective in reducing
oleomargine sales. Fine said that
manufacturers of the butter substi-
tute would not oppose the bill so
vigorously unless they thought it
would reduce their sales in the state.
The real question, he said, is whether
the legislature would support the
farmer or the manufacturers Of oleo-
margarine.
William Martin, Morton county,
called on the legislators to stick to
your own people and to home inter-
ests and pass this bill"
Agriculture. he said, has reached
the point where farmers have to fall
back on sheep and cows for existence.
Patterson said the effort to estab-
lish the license tax, in addition to
handicapping the small retailer, is
unfair In principle. He pointed out
that North Dakota Ignite producers
are not asking q tax on outside coal
or q tax on lumber because it COM
petes with brick made from native
clay. He said II would be just as logi-
cal for the wool growers to demand q
tax on cotton goods. because they
compete with wool, as for the dairy
man to ask . tax on oleomargarine.
He asserted that hundreds Of farm
ers take their butter and milk to
market and buy oleomargarine, which
they take back to eat on the farm
because butter Is too expensive.
A. A. Peck, Mclean county, said he
felt the proposed license tax would
do no good. Thousands Of people in
his county use the product, he said,
and asserted that It Il not interfering
