Economy" was the watchword
Of Calvin Coolidge's administra-
ton. With single-minded deter
mination, he strove constantly to
effect reductions in the cost Of
government. sometimes in the face
Of more or less good-natured kid
ding about his methods.
WelI-Defined Views
The former President had very
welldefined views on the proper
approach to true Federal economy.
It is recorded that shortly after
he had relinquished the reins Of
office to President Hoover his old
friend, Frank w. StearnS, was jok-
ing with him about some Of the
economies of the new Hoover ad-
miniStration. Said StearnS:
II see President Hoover has
gone you one better and abOl-
ished the White House stables"
Mindful of the fact the horses
merely had been moved from the
White House stables to Fort Myer,
Mr.. Coolidge rejoined:
"The horses arc still eating
Government hay, aren't they?"
Always having had to rely on
his salary in his younger days,
economy was nothing new to the
New Englander. When he was
lieutenant governor of Massachu-
sets he commuted between Boston
and his Northampton home, in
variably riding in a day coach.
The CoolidgeS lived in a duplex
house that rented for $35 a
month, Mrs. Coolidge knitted all
the stockings their two sons wore
as young boys, and the home was
on a budget.
A EAST" Salesman
In the latter connection lies a
story. One day a particularly glib
book agent called at 81 Massasoit
Street peddling a book supposed
to contain complete instructions
for treating every ailment on rec
ord.
Noticing John and Calvin, jr.,
at play, the agent argued that
with two boys Mrs. Coolidge would
find the book invaluable, as it
would give her all Of the
symptoms of anything that might
befall them together with the
proper household remedies.
For once Mrs. Coolidge was
overwhelmed by a canvasser'S ar
guments and bought the box.
After the man had gone, she re-
allied the money had come out
of her weekly household budget.
She decided against directly
telling her husband Of the pur-
chase and instead left the book
out on the living room table In
a conspicuous place. She knew
that Mr.. Coolidge'S sharp eye
would be sure to notice it.
Several days went by, however,
and nothing was said on the sub
ject. Then one day Mrs. Coolidge
idly picked up the book.
Almost q Cure-AIl
On the fly.leaf in Mr.. Coolidge's
handwriting was the following:
81 find herein cures for all
diseases known to man and
beast but I find no cure for
Suckers-C. c."

to be catapulted into the Su-

fortuitouS occasion presents it
self. Should Mr.. Johnson take
another job he must, perforce,
resign as Senator. Then what?
Again dame rumor takes a
bow, saying as follows:

Testimony of Reconstruction
Finance Corporation officials that
relief needs in American are be-
ing adequately met was chal'
lenged before the Senate Manu-
factures Committee today by
Thomas Kennedy, secretary treas
urer of the United Mine Workers
of America.
Appearing in behalf Of the
$500, 100000 La Toilette Costigan
relief bill, Kennedy declared hd-
man suffering in the coal States
had reached Undesirable" pro-
portions.
Witness Scores r. F. G.
Refusal of the R. F. C.'to grant
a larger measure of relief 70
Pennsylvania in particular was
scored by the witness. He said:
"In my judgHsent, Pennsyl-
vania is receiving very shabby
treatment at the hands of the
r. F. C. The amounts granted
have been entirely too small
in comparison to the States
needs, Such small amounts as
have been granted have been
given grudgingly, and the total
pooled resources provide only
for food and certain types Of
fuel.
sAt least 100000 persons in
Pennsylvania are in need Of
shoes and both inner and outer
clothing"
Kennedy added that on the
basis of a general investigation
in the mining States and his per-
sonal knowledge of the situation
in Pennsylvania, relief through
out the bituminous regions Of the
United States is "hopelessly made
quate."
$4,000 Are Unemployed
About 10000 miners are unem.
ployed, Kennedy estimated. OF
this number, 100, 900 had been dis
placed by chronological improve
ments prior to the 1929 stock mar
ket crash, while the remainder
lost their jobs during the eco
nonic slump.
Kennedy declared:
"Tn June Of this year total
wage payments for the industry
were only ~ per cent Of the cor
responding month in 1922"
In Indiana, the committee was
told, 1000 miners are idle and
the only relief is free Government
flour plus the aid extended by the
United Mine Workers. The wit
ness said:

5000 IOwanS Idle
In Iowa, 5000 miners were de-
clared to be idle with S., 900 per
month being distributed by the
United Mine Workers. Total re-
lief needs for Iowa this winter,
to care for all classes Of un-
employed, were estimated at $10.-

TN Colorado our reports in
dicate about 10000 persons un-
employed with about $4,000
families, aside from local relief
work, affected. Present relief
is inadequate"
The total of unemployed in
Ohio was set at 100000 with
miners making up $4,000 Of this
number. The witness explained:

SUNDAY FORUM
By Cecil e. Newman

We have received considerable in
quiry about the Minneapolis Sunday
Forum of which we are president, by
reason of the fact that there was nc
election last year. Practically every
city in the Union has it's forum. Most
of the important civic movements and
improvements and other worth while
things receive their first impetus ir
such organizations. Last winter finan'
cial conditions were so pressing with
most of. Minneapolis, including man,
Forum members, that attendance an,
interest fell off as it did in all such
public assemblies. Even our churchet
suffered from depleted attendance ant
many of those who did attend cOulc
give only a small financial support.
The Minneapolis Forum has for sew.
eral years conducted it's bi-monthly
meetings in the Phyllis Wheatley
House. In recent years the 80 per
cent of Forum membership have lived
on the SOuthside. Forum attendance
required the expenditure of street car
fare or the buying of gasoline. Wher
conditions grew so difficult last sea-
son, as president of the body we pre-
emptcrily halted the twice monthly
meetings. The people were neces.
sarily more interested in poor condi-
tions and whether the country was
going to the dogs than they were in
hearing speakers and other citizens
expOund new ideas or discuss the older
issues. Money was so hard to get that
carfare was a major issue. What most
people wanted last winter, including
many Forum members, were jobs and
they were interested only in the end
of the poor economic conditions.
In January if enough Forum men,
bers consider it advisable, we will
gladly call meeting and hold an cleo
tion of officers so that we may re-
sumo our monthly schedule. Until
then we are afraid the City of Mime
apolis must do without it's Forum.
Perhaps it is just a coincidence but
it's curious to note that out of 10
persons who have asked us about the
Forum have been people who attended
it twice year in recent years!
